1--WE can scarcely 90 into q house in the
North where some Of the property Of Southern
ladies is not seen in possession of women who
have sent forth their brethren and friends to
plunder and deYsstate the South. Books, mu-
sical instruments, and everything portable, srs
stolen, wherever our armies march, and con-
veyed North. This crusade upon tho women of
the South is urged on by their sisters in the
North, and we have heard threats from females
which the most brutal soldier in the army would
seoTn 10 execute. In every town, village,
stesmbost and railroad car, ell over the land,
! will be found the fsirost of the sex advocating
the destruction Of their sisters of the South.
We can only account for il by sappesing that
the devil bas sought to destroy tbs human fam
lily through the same medium be used five thou
sand years sgo. Il is horrible, AID cannot fail
to bring upon us shs wrath of Heaven.
'To Xxx We Answered you last week hon
estly aad openly. If you think hard of Us for
telling you cur honest opinion that we believe
the Southern ConfedeTRey is q fixed fact then
j7st inquire Of somebody that believes the peo-
pie Of the South are cowrTds, and can be made
slaves by Abraham Lincoln or any other Abe
litionist, and not of US.
I'VE have received Oft B Peterson g. Bro 8,
the well known publishers Of Philadelphia, the
Life and Services of Ben. Batter Il contains
all bis orders since he has been On off GER of the
United States service; also his early life and ca
reer ss lawyer, with a portrait, for twenty-fv
cents. If our readers wish to preserve the re-
cord of this thief and prosecutor of women, they
would do well to purchase this book of Peter
aon & Bios.
at will be remembered that on! Of the ens
hundred and fifty Massachusetts, spinteTs sent
10 South CoTolinA 20 educate the niggers, sixty
four of them in less than year have been COM
PEELED to abandon the big niggers and open up
nurseries for their OioH little ones"

"Grace Greenwood " hiss been lecturing in
Meade's army to the soldiers. A Yankee cor
respondent says: % l have never seen greater
effect produced than by her touching descrip-
ten of the glorious lite and heroie death of the
brave young Dahlgren."
Sherman was spoken of IS something of
gentleman before the war. OF course, to qualify
him for Yankee general, hs had to get rid OF
this character at once. A correspondent at
Nashville tells the following little jokes"
General Sherman ordered Gen. Gillsm 20 60
into the country around Nashville and press
horses for his cavalry. Gillem remarked, The
task would be useless-ihst Shermsn's army
| had been through the country lately, and that 1t
had pressed everything, from horses down.
| This was heavy, but it was appreciated, for the
/ fact is, wherever Gen. Sherman goes, war is felt.
He is the least given to kid-gloVeism Of any OF
our generals, and treats Southern rights in the
same manner as q cat does mouse, except the
