Our readers will perceive desirs to infuse vigor
into the different departments Of the governmentby
giving voice to the public opinion Of the Southern
people in praise and in censure. Hitherto q false
deicacy has existed which SACRIFICED the lives and
property Of the country and endangered the cause,
to mawkish sentiment and iactious harmony. A
Spartan youth, We told, allowed fox concealed
under his garment to tear ouths bowels rather than
expose his possession of the animal. We have patti.
emily, and without remons:rance, submitted to fee.
bleness and incompetency in the highest and most
important offices in the government and consequent
worthiessness pervading whole departments. Tho
House, we see is pushing Investigations into preva.
lent evils and their causes Let Congress shift these
matters through competent men, and expose inca
'paeity. Then the life and vgor proper to Repub.

TIE RIGHT WAY TO FEEL.-Nhen Crawford, of

gade East Tennessee troops stationed at Rogersve,
be went to John Young and mounted eight of his
young negroes. Forming theur in front of the
house, he called Young out and informed him that
he must take off his hat and cheer for Lincoln.
Five minutes were allowed him to decide between
death and compliance with the order. Mrs. Ford,
Mr. Yeung's daughter, came out and said to her
father, ''don't do it, fa her. Let them shoot lhad
rather see you dead than know that you had cheer.
ed for Lincoln Mr.. Young quietly requested his
daughter to feel uneasness about him, to retire
tothe house, for be would not cheer for Lincoln or
do.anything that would dishonor hts family 'Pluek
will win" thought the dastarda, and Mr.. Young
neither cheered for Lincoln, nor. was killed. Mr..
