state, whatever its past may have been.
He says:

for building the houses Of Jerusalem
must be brought into the city upon the
backs Of camels and donkeys; and the
roads over which Abraham, David,
Christ and the Apostles once travelled

In fact, this whole land, said to have
been once so beautiful, is now but a

"While looking at the city as it now
stands, with its narrow streets filled with
dogs, Arabs and filth, it is hard to re-

One Rebel still Left (!

Mack of the Cincinnati CONNER
ciaI, after perambulating extensively
through the heart of the Southern
country, has reached Savannah. He
reports having discovered one rebel, and
describes him as follows:
In my travels through the South thus
far ! have met but one man whom |
consider still a rebel. He was a native
Of South Carolina, an old gentleman,
who had kept himself and his sons out
of the army while the fight lasted, and is
still as he said, " as much of rebel as
ever" Inasmuch as he did no fighting, if
he will only agree not to be any more of
a rebel in the future than he has been in
the past, he will not do much harm to
the country. He talked of teaching his
grand children to hate the Yankees, and
plainly told me he should curse the flag
of the Union with his dying breath. |
replied that he ought to keep his dying
breath for better purpose, as the flag
of the Union wouldn't care a cent for his
last curse, and asked him why he didn't
work some of the bile off his stomach by
shooting at the flag if he had such hard
feelings against it. Well, he said, he
didn't know. He always felt like going
into the war, and yet he never went
