The Devil and the Women.

Parson Brownlow, of the Knoxville Wing.
pays the following rather doubtful compli
ment to the secesh women of the South
From the commencement of the rebellion
until now, the devil and the women of the
South have been the abest allies the cause of
treason had in the field. The influence of
the women, backed up by his Satanic Ma
jesty, filled the ranks of the rebel armies,
and gave ardor and endurance to the hen
pecked men that entered the service. South
ern women even petltioned the rebel Con-
gress TO enact the law of conscription so as
to force all into the service Through the
influence which women had, thousands were
forced into the field, and thence to their
graves, who never would have left home.-
Playing into the hands of the devil, bv thus
filing his ranks, they had his approval all
the time. Wives gave up their husbands,
sisters their brothers, and mothers their sons
willing, nay, anxious. to immediate their
lives to the Moloch of war The women
were willing to wear homespun-ready to
dispense with the luxuries of table or toilet
ready to fling all their jewelry into the Con
federate crucible-ready to unsex themselves
for the devil and the Confederacy
In all parts of the South the demoraliza
ton of women of the " female persuasion" is
notorious. They have abandoned their law
full husbands in many instance and formed
new associations. And it is matter of
surprise to see with what brazen impudence
they will return and face those who are
perfectly aware of their confederate move
ments. Nor has this wicked rebellion been
without its effects upon the women of the
North. North and South the papers TEEN
with accounts of i" elopements." applications
for divorce" and murders growing out of
bad faith. The devil is unclaimed, and the
women are taking advantage of his : loose
reign Women passing for married
women who never were married in their
lives. With the impudence of the devil
they thrust themselves into society, less than
one hundred miles from whence they started
out upon their career of crime. Respectable
ladies would do well, in all sections, to know
certainly who they are making the ae-
quaintance of, both among males and fe
males. Let time develop the merits of
strangers, as it will do, and ever has done.
unless parties are So associated as to render
their cases clear.
We have no special cases to certify. in
these remarks. but make them in view of
what the newspapers TEEN with, both North
and South. Our remarks and allusions are
general, and are oniyintended to hurt where
they apply.
