A CHARTER of Southern Horrors.

We find the following the Baltimore Amer
ican of November 5th:
On Friday evening last a gentlemen ar
rived in Philadelphia, who had recently trav-
eled in many parts of the South. In his
tour he passed through, considerable portion
of Georgia, North Carolina and Eastern Vir.
ginia. Less than eight days since he was in
Richmond. He passed through rebeldom
disguised. The following brief recital Of lor-
ror, or most of them, fell under his personal
observation No less than five attempts at
Negro instruction have been made in Geor-
gio since the month of July last. As a terror
to the slaves some were shot, others hung,
and seven or eight burned, one of the latter
being q pregnant female. Many children
have died from the want Of tho common
necessities of lie. Old and infirm men and
women have also died. their deaths having
been hastenrd by the want Of proper nonrish-
meut. In Richmond (Va) women to the
number of five hundred or more, appeared
in the streets demanding bread or blood.
One house, filled with stores for the rebel
army, was broken open, and the women sue
creded in obtaining some provisions to sus-
tain life little longer. The people Of Rich
mond were in desperate condition. There
are but. few of the wealthy class remaining.
Many Of them had reached Wilmington N.
CO. run the blockade, and are out OF harms
way in Europe. Considerable numbers Of
Union prisoners arc daily starving to death;
many who yet cling to life are hopelessly
imbecile. During the second bread riot three
women were shot, ono of whom died from
her wounds. Iu her last moments she up
held little cross-the emblem Of her Chris
tianity-worn next TO her heart, and taking
therefrom diminutive American Aag, made
Of silk, wrapped it on the outside Of the cross
and kissed it, when her head fell upon her
breast. She Was dead. About twenty eight
miles from Ncwbern, North Carolina, our in.
fornant saw an emaciated mother digging q
grave. in which she buried an infant nearly
two years of age. Her despair was truly
hsart-rending. Her husband an6 son were
conscripted in tho rebel army. She believed
her sou was killed at the battle Of Melbourn
Hill. He belonged to the North Carolina
Seventh. which, she says, was composed
nearly all of boys, some of them not over
fourteen years old. Our informant was
touched by the grave scene. He gave the
woman some Confederate scrip and made a
little head board for thu grave, on which he
drew the following: "Sacrrd to the memory
Of Sallie johnson, aged twenty-one months"
The mother conld not read. He explained
what he had placed on the little board, and
she expressed great gratitude and burst into
a food oftears. She no doubt thought he was
a rebel soldier. He further says that coun.
ter rebellion is not far distant, when tho lead
en of the Southern Confederacy. if they do
not escape the country, will be made to bite
the dust.

lam dying. Egypt, dying,
Ebbs the crimson hfe-tide last,
And the dark platonian shadows,
Gather On the evening blast.
Let thre arm, oh Queen, support me,
Hush tn; sObs and bow thine ear,
Hearken to the great heart secrets,
Thou, and thou alone must hear.
Though my SCARED and veteran legiOns
Bear their eagles high no MORE,
And my wrecked and scattered galleys
Strew dark Actiums fatal shore;
Though no glittering guards surround me,
Prompt to do their masters will,
must perish like u Roman
Die the great Triumyir still.
Let not Crsar's servie minions
Mock the lion thus laid low,
Twas no foeman's hand that slew him,
Twas his own that struck the blow.
Here, then, pillowed on thy bosom.
Ere his star fades quite away,
Hin who, drunk with thy caresscs,
Madly flung world away!
Should the base plcbeian rabble
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Octavia,
Wecps within her widowed home,
Seek her-say the gods have told me,
Affairs, augcrs, circling wings,
That her blood with mine cOmmingled
Yet shall mount the throne Of kings.
And for thee, star-eyed Egyptian!
Glorious sorceress of the Nile,
Light the path to Styyian horrors.
With the splendors Of thy smile.
Give the Caesar crowns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel twine;
can scorn the Senate's trumphs,
Triumphing in love like thine.

Hark! Insulting foemanscry.;.

A YANKEE CLAN BAKE-Many persons
have heard of New England clam bake,

Portland, Maine:
