LETTER FROM GEN FoREsT.-The fol-
lowing is an extract from letter written
by Con. n. B. Forrest to gentleman in
Macon Miss. henoib Tie noble i cneitain tai rightly
appreciates our condition, and has the
manln esq and courage to face the consc-
quenccs of this struggle for life, libeHy
and independence:
Itaah the ,Svarso position to that at
tsibutsilte- the gentleman to whom you
refer. Reconstruction is not only "de-
structin," but it is degradation and dis
grace. It's far better to spend every
thing il fighting our cr1ol foe, than TO re-
construct and permit him to spend it for
us. Weecan reconstruct" upon no terms
that prevent confscatien and abject sla-
very, shd rather Vhan submit to such
s'destrustiong and humiliation, I am for
fighting as long as there is man left to
fight With, orahythingAeft for. Ifitreal-
y be 'trie that further resistance be, ,"des-
ructionSy it is infinitely preferable to that
kind ofl'destraction" which would follow
reconstruction"
We can read our. doom in tho event of
subjugation, both in the threats of the en-
emy and the acts of oppression which ey-
erywhere follow their trilmphs. "Recon-
structiong would require the soldier to
destroy the proud ensigns of his glory, to
stack bis arms, lower his head in dishon-
or and pass under the yoke of abolition
tyranny. It would require confscation,
imprisonment aid death 1t would turn
into our families bands of detectives to
ferret o,ltthe household secrets! Itweuld

Every Office would be flledsby Yankees,

preachers, and we would be made the

homes, land, property, all taken from us J
/ canhdt See how continued resistance
will bring upon US greater destruction"
than that which would follow ''recon-

.As ii runs through the realm of tears,
with q fauiiless rythm, and a musical rhyme,
And. broader. sweep, and o surge sublime,
And blends NTH ocean of years!
How the winters are drifting like fakes Of snow,
And summers like buds between,
And tho cars in the sheaf-so they come and
they go,
On the riverS breast, with its ebb and Gov,
E As ii glides in the shadow and shcenl
Paere is magic Isle in the river of Time,
Whore the softcst of airs urc playing;
tTtkarFs'u cloudless sky, and tropical cline,
and a,song as sweet as q yesper chime,
Aid tho Juhes with the roses are Staying: ss
And til. name Of this Isle Is Long Ago.
And we bury our treasures there ----s.e.sss;..s
There sre. .brows=of beauty, and bosoms of snow,
There stge heaps of aust-but we loved them so!
There are trinkdts, and tresses of hair.
There IRE fragments Of song that nobody sings,
And q part of an infants prayer;
There's Lutte unswcpt, and harp without strings,
There ire broken vows ahdpicces of rings,
And the garments she used to wear
r4ers ,ro hands that arc waved when the fairy

ny the image is lifted in air,
And we sometime hear thro' the turbdlant rosr,
Sweet voices heard in the days gone befotc'
Wheil the wind down the river is fair
Oil remembered for aye DO that blessed Isle,
Alltie day of life till night;
When the evening comes with its beautiful smile,
And our eyes are closing to slumber awhile'
May y1ihat egreenwood of soul be in sight"

ARE WOMEN NATURALLY PoL1TE2-
Mrs. George Washington Wyllys asks the
above question, and then deliberately an
swers it thus:
Are women naturally polite, did you
ask, dear, good natured publicY
Did you ever know woman who did
not know it was outrageous for anoth-
er woman to travel with a baby, or who
didn't regard it as @cruel and barbarous, f"
if any one objected to the crying of her
baby?
Did you ever know two women TO talk
|.over third without ridiculing her, even
/ if She was her g dear particular friend p
Did you ever praise one young lady in
the presence of another, without being
confdentially toldof some enormous fault
or deformity in the other that you hadn't
dreamed Of?
Did vol. ever know a pretty woman to
make an expression without half a dozen
other pretty women running the effect OF
it the instant she left the rooms
& Did you ever hear a woman who had
IN idea that she was making trouble by
her little airs and graces?
We don't believe you ever did reader.
They are race of unaecountables, these
women, just as sweet and piauant as June
roses, sometimes, and then again, like so
many yenomods thorn bushes.
There is one thing weSneyer cease to
be inwardiy thankful for-that we are
not man, consequently not obliged to
marry one Of EN-. Why she would drive
us crazysin o week, with her whims and
fancfes, her exactions and pretty ways.
We would make the most hen-pecked
husband in the world, unless, indeed, wo
had the nerve to lun away from her, or
shut her up in a0closet for a week, until
she promised to behave better. When a
woman chooses, she can be the nearest
thing to an angel Of any thing in The world,
and. what a pity it it is that she doesn't s=

Our LATE CpNeRgss The editor of
the Iynchburg Republican, after making
visit to Richmond during the session Of
Congress, gives the annexed opinion Of
the result of survey Of men and mat
ters:y
A few days sojonrn at the capital gava
us an opportunity Of Witnessing the do
,irgs of Congress No man Of ordinary
penetration could ldenjoy this privilege with !
out being painfully impressed with the
conviction that our representative men,
with comparatively few exceptions, are
-notcqual testhe crisis, and therefore. to-
tally incapable of directing great rcvo-
luton like that which has tasked the. en-
ergies Of this people for nearly tour years
past. Thesgreat bodysof them might do
in the piping times Of peace tosloek after
appointments and attend to the ordinary
affairs Of their constituents before the
different bureaus Of the government but
they are not men for these times.
In point,of ability and statesmanship
the Confederate Congress hardly. sur
passes an Artillery gathering Of the 9ir-
ginia Legislature, during the sine, now
past, when every member of that body
was legally elected and could clair So. -
ing constituency. One cannot look upon
Z .I.a4l
this body and then wonder that more
than two months OF the present session
have passed away. with little o; nothing
accomplished The wonderis, or should
be, that such collection Of men could
accomplish any good.
Two whole States are represented
there by some sort of hoous pocus, that
have never been included in the Confeder-
acy whilst West Virgins, and portions
of other States have representatives that
owe their election stoa few soldiers here
and there throughout the confcderacy a.
These circumstances it must be admit
ted, were not favorable to the compositiong
ofsuch Congress assthe times seaaire
but the tide Of revolution might have Z
thrown something better ul9ont The surface
if the peonle had hoen careful 70 discover
|it The conclusion is irresistible that we
have not such smensin the country as the
crisis imperatively demand or that the
eonstitdesit' bodies have been sadly dere-
Iict in the selections they have in the
most cases made.

patriotism, youth, beauty and champa gne.
Rouget de Lisle was an officer Of the gar
7rison at strasburg, and a native Of Mount
ssJura. Ho was an unknown poet and COM
poser !. He had a pleasant friend named
Dietrich, whose wife and daughters were
the only critics and admirers Of the SOL
der poets song. One night he was at
supper with his friends family, and they
had only coarse bread and slices ofham.
Dietrick, looking sorrowfully at De Lisle,.
said:
aPlenty is not ours atsleast, but wehaye
the courage of the soldiers heart; I have,
Still one bottle left in tho ccllar@tbifsing it
my daughter, and let as drink to Liberty
and opr country"
Qang girl brought the bottle-it
aausted, and.De LisIe went
he could not sleep far
the c1sEE. sart was warm and full
of the beam end patriotism.
He took a small colo and tried to-
compose a song sometimes the words
were composed first, sometimes the air.
Directly he fell asleep. rtheinstrument
and waking at daylight, wrote do@n what
he had conceived in the deiiiiGim osff the
night. Then he awakod the fanilies, and
sung his production; at FIRST the women
turned.pale, then they wcpt, then burst
forth in a cry of enthusiasm, 1t was the
Song of the nation, and Of terror.
Two months afterwards Dietrick went
Ito the scaffold listening to the selfsame
music, composed under hisIown roof and
by the inspiration of his last bottle ofwine.
The ple.sang it everywhere-it flew

The RuIN1N CHARLESTON The follew-1
ing adds another scene to the melancholy
picture gallery describing Charleston as
it is:
The oldest and richest part of Charles:
ton is wreck throughout. All the de-
bris of the siege remains as it was-ttilrl-
BILE down sides,of houses filing half the
streets in quarters, and sunseemly monu-
ments of bricks scattered everywhere.
The streets are glazed with glass and
papered with memoranda and letters
thrown out from the banks and warehous-:
es-paved with relics as a certain place rs
with good intentions. This ruin had few
occupants saxea handful ofpoor ndRctapt
whites and wandering negroes, as the
stranger passed through on Monday.
Cactus, palmetto and the orangeleaf were
in tho gardens of few wealthy residen-
ces. A dozen times repeated knocking
at one ofthe wealthiest doors brought
riclzety old lady to the front, and ques-
toner asked for the owner The reply
was allegorically; "Gone away 'yond
