they II smell the smoke!" Afraid to
return to town, they groped about in
the swamp awhile, getting into all sorts
of mudholes and bitches, and bark
ing their shins in the darkness,
until they came to an old crib with fodder
in the loft, aud in this fodder they hid
themselves and slept till morning. When
they finally ventured back to town they
found that the supposed Yankees were
merely q squad of frightened Pumpkin
Studs, who had dashed into the town, not
to take it, but to claim its protection.
Other incidents might narrate; but the
above will serve for sample of the ex-
element that prevailed. -
Now that the Yankees are reliably re.
ported to have put back to- Baton Rouge,
the excitement has simmered down, and
Osyka and Tangipaho are themselves again.
The Studs are all on hand again, and Il
they are only supplied with proper arms

Gen. sherman on slavery.

From the Richmond Whig Dec 30. '''~ {
- From a gentleman who has. had several
consultations with Gen. Sherman recently,
the Augusta Constitutionalist learns he
says slavery will exist in the South after
the conclusion Of peace, let the war ter
inmate as it may; that incolns proclama-
tiohs in reference to its abolition are SIM
ply means for the restoration of the Union;
that the Supreme Court have not nor will
sustain him; neither win the Federal gov
ernment attempt to abolish slavery, but
will leave it to the States returning to the
Union to settle it; and that he (Sherman)
expects to own thousand slaves in the
South one of these days. '''''' ii
He represents Sherman as being q thor

FROM RICHMOND.
Overtures for Foreign Recognition.

Special Dispatch to Tho Philadelphia Inquirer.
WASHINGTON, January 3--The follow
ing editorial from the Richmond Sentinel
has bean deemed by Secretary Seward of
such Importance, and so truly representing
the condition of the South and jeff. Da-
vis's own intentions, that he has ordered
copies of it to be sent to our foreign min.
listers, to show that the rebel government
is admitted by their own leaders to be a
failure, and that, already exhausted and
worn out, they are seeking for some port
of refuge; and that this being the case,
they should be no longer considered as
"belligerents. Those most familiar with
jeff Davis and his writings, declare this
to be frsm his pen. The editorial is as
follows:
Troublesome times are upon US. Great
exigencies surround us. We need all our
strength and all our wisdom Let there
be a conference of all our wise men. Let
there be calm investigation of our wants
and q catalogue of our resources. Then,
by common consent, let all obstacles to the
employment of these resources be re-
moved. So long as we have a man or q
dollar, and the man or dollar be needed,
let the call be honored. -
It would be adding disgrace to our mis-
cry, if we were overcome without having
frst exhausted every resource of defence.
It would be doubly infamous to US, be-
cause, with contributions to our defence
eoual to the spoliations We should suffer if
conquered, our success would be assured.
We should come out of the contest at least
with that which would be&orth more than
all the rest, our liberties and our country.
If we had thrown overheard the cargo, we
should thereby have saved the ship.

On woodland ruddy with autumn
The amber sunshine lies;
I look on the beauty round me,
And tears come into my eyes.
For the wind that sweeps the meadows
Blows out of the far Southwest,
Where our gallant men are fighting,
And the gallant dead are at rest
The golden rod is leaning,
And the purple aster waves
In breeze from the land Of battles,
A breath from the land of graves.
Full fast the leaves are dropping
Before that wandering breath
As fast on the field of battle,
Our brethren fall in death.
Beautiful over nv path way &.
The forest spoils are shed; 3.
They are spotting the grassy hillocks
With purple gore and red.
Beautiful Is the death sleep %.
Of those who bravely fight
In their country's holy quarrel,
And perish for the Right.
But who shall comfort the living,
The light of whose home is gone:
The bride that, early widowed,
Lives broken-hearted on;
The matron whose sons are lying =
In graves on distant shore;
The maiden, whose promised husband
Comes back from the war no more!
look on the peaceful dwellings
Whose windows glimmer in sight,
With croft aud garden and orchard
That bask in the mellow light;
And know that. when our couriers
rs With news of victory come,
- They will bring bitter message ..
Ofhopeless grief to some.
Again turn to the woodlands,
And shudder as see a
The mock-grape's* blood-red banner
Hung out on the cedar tree;
And think of days of slaughter,
And the night s-sky red with flames,
On the Chattahoochees meadows
And the wasted banks of the James.
Oh, tor the fresh spring season,
When the groves are In their prime;
And far away in the future
Is the frosty autumn-time.
Oh, for that better season,
When the pride of the foe shall yield,
And the hosts of God and Freedom {,
March back from the well-won field;
And the matron shall clasp her first born
With tears of Joy and pride;
And the SCARED and war-worn lover
Shall claim his promised bride!
The leaves are SWEET from the branches
But the living buds are there,
With folded flower and foliage,
To sprOut in kinder air.
