, Our opponents are joined 70 their
idols, let them alone. Our business
is to wake up our own slumbering
hosts or we may find ourselves
slaughtered as in 1862; or like the
children of Israel, whom the Lord
slew in their sleep, and (says the
bible) when they awoke early in
the morning, behold they we're all
dead cOrpses. Shall we go to sleep
to awake on the 9th of October, all
dead corpscs?
Waste no time in attempting to
convert Yalfandighamers. They
have committed the objectionable
sin and there is no forgiveness
neither in this life nor in the life to
come, ! fear. But says one of these

ridge Olds Booth Confederates,
"Gray, What's the matter? You
used to vote with US, what's the

Suppose we examine a little into
the symptoms Of my disease and
perhaps we can tell what's the mat
ter Observe the diagnosis, doc
I tor.
I | have been exhibiting my tongue
for about an hour, 50 that the indi-
cations from that are understood,
and perhaps the Confederates pres
ent are quite willing | should haul
it in about now. As to my pHlse,
when traitors began to throw hard
she'll water melons into Fort Sum
ter, my pulse ran up suddenly toI
1T per minute. When the flag
came down, the fever increased and
my mind muttered of sulphur and
saltpeter. When our boys left Bull
Run, the blood left my face, my
pulse stopped, till, as Artemus
would say, | hadn't apult. Cold
chills came over me and it was with
difficulty that l could speak. Strange
symptoms, doctor, | shall never
forget them. | have heard of 9th |
ers affected in the same way. The
mention of Gettysburg or Vicksburg
brought on an irrepressible spasm
of shouting. Queer, wasn't it? In
1868 ! was subject to nightmare !;
| thought terrible hammer hung
ready to fall on income of those
fearful ValIandig Hammers. When
old Jack Brough walked me up, /
wasn't l so happily relieved? A !
dosdsof tincture Of votes l00,000th !
potency, cured that symptom so i'll
has never returned.
l was next attacked with ramb-
ling propensity, and wandered off
over the -Rapidan through the Viii
deness, Spottsylvania, Cold Han
Dor, past the Weldon Railroad, andt
down to Fort Fisher. Perhaps one
more symptom will enable you to
decide whats the natter
The little presentation by one Mr.,
Lee to one Mr.. Grant, somewhere
between Richmond and Danville,
affected me remarkably. | remem-
Der that when the news of that little
local item reached me I had a long
train of ammunition and supply
wagons stuck in the muddy cypress
swamps in the cotton States, and
the next thing / remember l was
out in the open fields, a mile from
the stuck mule train, in a crowd of
lGnatics, all of us so hoarse that we
could hardly whisper how glad we
we're that we didn't die the day be-
fore. ..
Doctor, oh, Doctor! what is the
matter? Are there any symptoms
of treason in my case?
1t is said that war, like poverty,
makes strange bedfellows, and |
am taunted with being in bed with
that internal Thad. Stevens. Sup
pose l get out of that bed and crawl
over into that other bed; / leave
the Internal Thad. to crawl into bed
with a nest of Internal copperheads
.Vallandigham, Thurman, Olds d
Co. What brilliant change
Excuse me, gentlemen, if l 60
back to internal Thad., for l would
rather be tnfeynally right than IN
fernaHy 'or0ng.
Thad. Stevens is some distance ;
rom the main army, on picket or l
ridette line. watching the move ;
nents of the enemy from q near ,
tand-point, and a restless, ugly
to skirmish with he is, but
when the main battle comes on he
alls back and takes his place in the
inc, and we overlook the gyrations
nd tantrums he cuts when alone
nd far from us, We may yet be
made to adopt his dreadful measures.

themselves for it. They have made G
