Secession is quite popular, here now and
Is growing stronger every day.. Six months

q Union man win not be allowed, on
ftiiess streets. The present rebel,programme
is to get all the rebels into the community
,tiossi6le, aud hold the majority. 50 as. to
make secession the controlling elepent,I
Aud there is no reason in the. world with
the present encouragement given unto it,
why that should not be the case.r Rebels
who have fought twelve, months or, two
years in the rebel army return with, impu1

when Maj. Andrew .Parke.. died, being a
"distiaiglished citizentn that is he, went to
Richmond and signed the ordinance of se-i
cession sometime after it had passed to-
make "a noble record. then came home
and took the oath of allegiance; then when
Loring came here last fail he sbjnred that
oath and became candidate for the rebel
Congress. When he died our, General re-
Iquired all the officers OF the post to. attend
the funeral and had him buried at Govern,
ment expense. The. mistake, however,
was not 10 that, but in not, continuing
to bury rebels in the same. way. For it
was not long till Others, almost equally
"distingq ishedn died expecting to be buri-
ed also with all the pomp and circumstance
of war, but they were disapP ted, and At
is probable that 40 more of themswill die
ifthey can help it,. II. the arrangement had
been continued quite a number. of our dis
tinguished rebels might have dropped off
just for the honor Of the thing. We don't
know what che ultimate effect will bel, the
first effect was to. make secession very,
popular. Our rebel women publicly boast
that they can buy any General that can be
sent here in four weeks, and l would NOT
like to bet any consideFa bic amount that
they could not LEWIS RoGERs.
