WHAT IHE REBEL WoMEN ARE COMING TO.

WHAT IHE REBEL WOMEN ARE COMING TO.
The Richmond Wing, in flaring leader,
says that in case the South is conquered the
men can possibly get along by leaving for
foreign countries, inducing the Yankees af-
ter time to lift up the yoke of oppression,
or dying with arms in their hands. But the
fate of the women it deplores in gushes of
rant about their being dragged to prison,
overawed by negroes, outcasts from home.
earning pre3arious levelihoods and forced at
last, as refuge from starvation, ''to embrace
ofa brutal Yankee hlSband." And then the
lunatic raves after his fashion:
g Hurled from afiluence to the very depths
of poverty, cast down from the highest social
position to the lowest walks of life, the next
generation, nay the young men now living,
may behold the most cultivated and refined
ladies of his acquaintance walking the streets
OF Richmond in rags, and begging the privi-
lege of washing the shirts of Yankee Provost
Marshals, who grant the boon, indeed but
couple with it coarse and profane tests
at the virtue and haggard beauty Of his
wretched suppliants. Unhappy the soldier
of General Lees army who lives to see that
day how his blood will boil within his

As Recollection" Of the late Edward
Everett, Boston weekly paper publishes the
following-the writer being one of the
party;
I'm the month of December, 1913, par
ty of adventures, numbering one hundred
and fifty, from all the New England States,
became infected with the gold fever, which
then ragged extensively all over the country,
in consequence Of discovering the precious
metal in California. These men formed
company and purchased splendid snip
called the Edward Everett and named
the company The Edward Everett Goid
Mining Company. The shares were three
hundred dollars each. and no person couiu
hold more than one share. because the com
pany wanted strength and not ornamental
members After the shares were allotted,
and the ship purchased, it was suggested
that Mr.. Everett should be notified OF the
compliment the company had paid him, ana
that we should be happy if he would give US
any information respecting the country
which we were about to visit, and the art
of mining. The hint was acted upon, ana
in few days we received letter from MI
Everett, in which he stated that with the
facts and documents we desired, he had for
warded to US a choice lot of books, the peru
sal of which he hoped we would find interest
ing during our long passage to the new El
Dorado. There were about a hundred and
fiftv volumes, embracing Prescott's, Bancroft's
Sparks and other standard works besides
several text books relative to mining, some
pamphlets regarding the climate, soil and
geology of California, and works that gave
very distinct accounts of the early settlement
of the Jesuits. and the manner in which
they had extended their influence by the aid
of missionaries and Christianity among the
Indians.
OF course we were pleased with our pres
ent, and so we informed Mr. Everett His
books were read most attentively and, after
a six months passage, arrived in Cali
fornia, moored our ship along the mud banks
of Benicia, and there built steamboat
with the materials which we had purch ased
in Boston. 1t was a fiat bottomed boat, and
a clumsy affair but it was propelled by the
aid of steam, and with paddle wheels, and
that specimen of our work we named Edward
Everett, Jr. This steamer was the first one
that ever navigated the Sacramento river :;
and we think it should be known to history,
that through the kindness of Edward
Everett. the orator and statesman, the hun
dred and fifty adventurers were proud to
place his name on the sides of their rude
craft-a wonder in those days, when only
sailing vessels ascended the river" y
