Rebel Refinement.

What remarkably choice breeding and
good manners some women of the "master
race" exhibit when their temper is ruff
fed. While Union men were working
on the Notifications around Baltimore 10
ward off immediately impending inva-
sion, the following astonishing exhibi-
tion Of secession arisiocracy took place
in the Cathedral where Bishop Kenrick
ofIlciated. We copy from the Baltimore
letter TO the Philadelphia Press:
lie (the Bishop commenced TO read off
the prayer, the whole congregation
kneeling devoutly: eve pray Thee, oh
God, that thou wilt bless those that live
here on earth in sin; that thou wilt bless
our holy church; give strength and pow
er TO our holy Father, Plus TX, that he
may prevail over all his enemies, and we
would pray Thee"--at this word, up
started from their knees many apparently
the most deyout the silks Of the ladies
rustling, and their resplendent jewelry
rejecting by its movement in the light
from the windows, IS they arose from
their knees TO assume q sitting posture.
They knew what this phrase was about
to commit them 70, for they had often
heard it before. The voice of the Arch
bishop continued-"that thou wouldst
bless the President of these United
States; give him strength and wisdom TO
direct the affairs of the nation" etc, etc.
The prayer proceeded to invoke the
blessing upon the Governor of Maryland,
and then resumes, 1--WE pray for the
souls of the faithful departed" At this
the whole congregation are again upon
their knees, and so remain until the close.
Il Is due TO say that the insult thus of
fered was confined principally TO the
most aristocratic of the ladies. The
humber of the congregation, and the
males generally, continued upon Bonded
knee from beginning to end.
This exhibition of high bred vulgarity
was made, recollect, by the 'aristocracy
of Baltimore. Why, $ negro wench
would scOrn to behave so rudely in
village church. Rebellion seems offer

neesY OF the l,ehnI army.

We showed, few days ago, from reb-
Ell statistics. that the Confederate Army
would soon be utterly exhausted By the
rGvages Of war. A writer In the Cincin-
matt Gare,ts makes some speculation Of
similar nstare, which we copy. He
says;
A curious document was recently pub
lished in a Savannah paper, purporting
20 give the respective losses Of 10th sides
On examination of the list, il appeared
that they did not allow for one-half the
prisoners we had taken; for we know
very nearly the exchanges, for example
show double the number they Estimated.
We may safely assume that they under
rated the killed and wounded az much.
But let rs take their own statement.
They say that they lost about 2O,eO0
killed outright, and that 10000 had
died of wounds and disease. Thus, in
two years Of war, they lost in died and
killed no less than 10000 men. In that
time, also, the States Of Kentucky, Mis-
souri,, Maryland and large part Of Ten
nessee have been cut off from surprising
them with men. These States furnished
them nearly half their army. What, then,
is to become Of them in two years more?
Cut down to not more than one fifth the
able. bodied white men Of the country,
and losing $50, 200 men more without i'm
migration, where will be their armies Z
This view is corrOborated by the repeat
ed statement that every home in the South
is in mourning. In two years more there
will be few left to mourn. Take another
view. Take from the rebels 200 600 able
bodied negroes, cultivstors OF the soil, and
turn their arms against them, how will
stand the account? Amy body can eX.
anime these facts and draw their OWL
conclusions. These are terrible results

Army BeoS-whY InsiPId and an.
healthy.

Editor Nashville Union:
Its common remark among the boys
that army beef is no better than "sow-
belly" And this, think, is often irue.
1t is equally insipid; it is even more IN
healthy. But why is this? There is no
mystery in the matter to those who I'M
derstand the treatment TO which beeyes
are subjected on their way from the
North, and sitter they have reached their
destination in the army.
Example will make plain -
A hundred cattle are bought by Gov
eminent contractor in Chicago, and i'm
mediatsly shipped by rail TO Franklin,
Tenn. They are crowded into the cars
in such numbers that it is impossible for
them to lie down, and the most excessive
animal heat, thirst, and exhaustion. are
She esult AS there is a gap in the rail-
road at Louisville, and re.shipment is
necessary, they are RECALLED with air and
water there; but not particle of food is
allowed them. They are pushed on to
the cars at Louisville, and hurried on 60
Nashville, and thence, without change of
cars, and without single supply of food
or water, TO Franklin. Here they are
turned into dry, barren lot, al Mr.. Ro-
2elPs, where not mouthful OF food or
water can be had, and nothing is given
them. Some Of them are aoon killed,
and so relieved Of their wretchedness,
and the beef they make is of tOlerable
quality. But others remain there three
weeks with literally nothing TO eat or
drink, showing all the while signs of the
most accute suffering and distress. And
is all this on the score of humanity OF
of economy ? or how is il 70 be account
ed for Is the Government really too
poor TO afford forage for her cattle? Oh
is she so rich in brave, self-sacrifcing
soldiers, that she can afford to kill them
of by feeding them on beef damaged in
this wsy2 l have been informed by
those who ought 10 know, that the Gov
eminent furnishes no forage for cattle
that to stsrve them is the inevitable rule
need hardly conceal the suspicion, Mr.
Editor, that the fault is not in tho Gov,
eminent, but in the ineflciency ant
faithlsssness of some Of her employees
The matter deserves the attention o.
some one high in authority.
Respectfully, 4. i. T.
