fcorrespondence of the Chicago lnpune.l =
PRAIRIE BLrrF, Wilcox Co., Ala,
~ August 4th, 1855. !
perhans a, occasional letter from the lnfe-
rior of one of the extreme Southern states,
written by one who was tor ten years resi-
dent of Louisiana and nearly tour years an
officer in the Federal service, and at present
engaged in business pursuits which bring him
in close contact with the people and give him
abundant opportunity of knowing their senti-
ments, NAV be of interest to your numerous
readers. Ny principal object in writing IS TO
do all in my power to correct the OPINION
that seems to be gaining ground in the North
concerning the LOYALTY of the southern
people.
| read in Northern papers that the whole
population of the rebel States are now loyal
Ia The Government, and glad to see the beau
tnons folds of the old flag float out upon the
breezes of the South. and have in few short
months buried all disloyalty to Federal au-
thority and hatred 10 Northern men deep IN
the rich soil of their favored land. But let
me assure YOU this is utterly false. have yet
10 meet one Southern rebel who has IN the
least changed his sentiments toward the hated
Federal Government or detested =" ankee.
They are completely whipped and subjugated,
hear every day, from the most intelligent OF
the people. bitter denunciations of the au-
thorities in Washington, aud vindictive invec-
tives against the q Yankees" by the ignorant
masses. But one sentiment pervades this
State. and that is hatred and hostility to the
powers that have conquered them. These
facts should be universally known in the
North Blindness to these on the part of the
authorities would endanger the peace We have
struggled so hard to establish. Eternal
vigilance on the part of the Government
will alone secure permanent peace in the rebel
States.
The quiet that to-day pervades these States
is forced. Nothing but bayonets will make
this people loyal. They are not an erring
people who acknowledge themselves in fault
and are willing to return to their allegiance TO
the best Government in the world. but a sub
jugated and conquered populace who hate the
powers that subdued them. and detest the
Government that has always protected them,
and is to- day Offering them clemency that
amounts almost to injustice. Let the people
of the North and Northwest know the serpent
is only crushed. not killed. These are simply
facts Follow me through the little hamlets.
the wrctched country towns. the princely
halls. the filthy cabins, and even the large
cities Of the South, and listen with me to the
voices that go up continually from all these
and Won viii know treason only siumbers, and
in that sleep dreams of again lighting the
torch of civil war. Is.

The VaIue OF a Scrap-BoOk.

Everyone who takes newspaper which
he in the least degree appreciates, will often
regret to see any number thrown aside for
waste paper which contains snme interesting
and important articles. \ good way to pre-
serve these is the use Of 4 scrap book.
One who has never been accustomed thus
to preserve short articles can hardly esti-
mate the pleasure it affords to sit down and
turn over the pleasant familiar pages -
Here choice piece ofpoetry meets the eye,
which you remember you were so glad to
see in the paper, but which you would long
since have been lost had it not been for
your scrap book. There is witty anec-
dotc-it does you good to laugh over it yet,
though for the twentieth time. Next is a
valuable receipt you had almost forgotten,
and which you found just in time to save
you much perplexity. There is sweet lit
tie story, the memory Of which has chcered
and encouraged you many a time, when al
most ready TO despair under the pressure of
hte's cares and trials. Indeed you can
hardly take up Il single paper without re-
perusing. just glance over the sheet De-
fore you, and see how many valuable items
it contains that would be of service to you
hundred times in life. A choice thought is
far more precious than bit Of glittering
gold. Hoard with care the precious gems,
and see at the close of the year what a rich
treasure you have accumulated. -.. .....-,..
