The Miss Nightingale Of New Orleans.
Among the most recent arrivals from the South,
we notice that Of Mrs. Brand, who during the
last three years has, by her devoted attendance
upon the wounded Confederate prisoners, earned
for herself the noble title Of the Nightingale of
New Orleans. Mrs. Brand. who by her tact and
courage passed scatfless through the fiery ordeal
of the reign of terror under Banks and Butler,
was atlength expelled by Gen! Candy, and forci-
bly, deported to within the Confederate lines She
is, as we understand, an English subject and it
is expected that important results will follow from

A.rmi1lg the Negro Slaves.
From the London Times. ~ @#

From the London llmeS
On the question which reall - pears to us the
important one-the safety of putting arms into
the hands of the. slayes-there really seems to
be no difference of opinion Whatever might
be the case if the mob of New York were in
structed in military discipline and furnished with
weapons of war--whatever danger might result
to the Government of Mr.. Lincoln from putting
arms into the hands of the citizens of Baltimore,
the South has no reason to doubt that the negro
will fight just as bravely in support of the cause
of slavery, which is the cause of his master. as
he will in the cause of liberty, and that his fiel-
ity may just as we'll be relied on in the one case
as in the other. We do not expect that this un-
fortunate race, doomed first to be the cause and
! afterwards the main instrument of the war, will
distinguish itself by prodigies of valor in favor
of either side. But we do believe that there is
no reason whatever to think that the negro will
| be less faithful to those who manunit him as the
price of bis military service, than he is to those
who first make him free, and then. as an unfore-
seen fruit of his freedom, send him forth to die
for boon the, sweets. of which he has never
| been allowed to taste. So far from wondering
| that this thing has been done now, we can only
iexpress o1r surprise that it has never been done
before. The objection, we conceive, must have
been, after all, not SO much to the employment Of
the negro in itself, as the shock to the rights Of
property which 1t involved. On this one KIND OF
possession the South had concentrated all its
proprietary feeling, and the man who would sub
nit without a mtnmur to the impresslnent of his
horses OF his crops, may very likely shrink back
with species Of superstitious horror from the
attempt by his own Government to deprive him
| of those very slaves for whom he has already
! fought a, long and desperate war. Bnt the OBJ
vious expediency of recruiting by any means the
shrtinsen battalons of the Southern armies, the
advantage Of possessing kind Of troops which
if MOTTO be trusted in very aidous duty, may yet
relieve the veteran white tbattaiions from, much
labor thai wears down their strength and thns
their numbers, is SO manifest, that we are con-
vinced the suggestion of Gov. Allen win before
long be adopted. and that the South viii confront
the North with an equal number of negroes. thus
undoubtedly greatly increasing the horrors of O
/ war which needs no aggravation. but at the same
time redressing in great degree the inequality
between the two contending parties.

- It has no doubt been remarked that the
Town has undertaken, since a week or two, to
nut in order some Of tile streets which most need
Lit. Some of the principal streets had become
almost impossible, but the Town Council cannot
be blamed for having neglected to keep them in
order, for the town revenues are to-day nineteen
twentieths less than they were in 1860. For ex-
ample, a taxpayer who. in 1860, paid $40 taxes
In specie, now pays $50 in Confederate or State
money, worth 81 in specie. Thus, the taxes
which amount annually to $500, are now worth
only $65 in specie. Does any one, suppose that
the Town Council can undertake to repair the
streets with capital of $657 A field hand can
not be hired at less than $l5 Confederate money!
per day: at this rate the taxes will scarcely suf-
fee to pay for the work necessary on one of the
principal streets hen, TO obviate this difficulty
fsthe taxpayers who now pay one twentieth OF
which they paid in 1860, should subscribe at
least tlie remaining nineteen twertieths which
are justly due: otherwise the streets cannot be
properly repaired Added to this is the fact oi
the town having TO support, since two years, adj
ditional expenses for the INDECENT families in oul
midst. If the taxpayers give the subject mo-
ment's reflection, they win be convinced that by
paying their customary tax they will not be sub
scribing too literally, nor more than is due.

II possible, 10 restore publc security and tran.
quillty. These ideas and purposes seem to float
in many brains, but. in our judgment, they are
the offspring Of an excusabls wounded pride, dis.
appointment and temporary passion, and not OF
common sense or sound discretion.
The Granada (Miss.) Motive, OF the 10th inst,
speaks of the feeling in that State as follows:
In conversation a common remark is" The
South is whipped" and many may understand
by this that she is broken down in feeling and
humbly kisses the rod But Gen. Grant gave q
much more truthful appreciation Of Southern
feeling when he said, "Gen. Lee, keep that sword
you have not been whipped, but overpowered by
numbers" We eleve this is the feeling OF the
Southern people, and especially of Southern SOL
ders. When the iawning spaniel Is dashed, he
feels whipped; but when the noble mastif is
beaten down. though half killed. his spirit is still
unbroken. And were it otherwise with Southern
men, il would be what even their conquerors
would not desire. Instead of respecting such a
spirit, they would feel only contempt for the
vanquished. They surely could not desire polit-
ical association on equal terms with people
cursed with the abject spirit of slaves. They
tell US, as they have all along professed, that oil
they desire of Us Is TO acknowledge that they are
too many and too strong for us, and quietly TO
yield to overwhelming force, to cease fighting,
and become obedient 10 the authorities over us.
This we have acknowledged; we have ceased
fighting; we have surrendered, and we are pre-
pairing TO conform ourselves TO obedience TO the
powers that be-" as promptly, doubts IS, as large
masses of poi ulation and organized States can
accomplish such work.
