Nine-tenths of the wealth of the South is in fancy human stock; of no particular value to the soldier of fortune — of no value at all to the patriotic Northern volunteer. Mercenary, indeed! These noble soldiers who have just left home and comfort and their loved ones to fight the battle of the Constitution, asking no recompense but the consciousness of rectitude — mercenaries! If so, then Warren and Washington, then Hamilton and Schuyler were mercenaries! If so, who would not be a mercenary? The men of the North know indeed the value of money.

One Southern newspaper now before us says: The North is mad. In one sense, it certainly is — somewhat angry it certainly is; but we have all around us at all hours of the day and night, cumulative evidence that there is a method in this Northern madeness. For Lunatics, we are getting on remarkably well. From that eminent lunatic, Winfield Scott, down to private dotards in the ranks, there is no alarming evidence of insanity. Northern theories of liberty and of human equality seem to be hardening/un> into pretty substantial practice. The tone of the Southern newspapers, when speaking of the wealthy, intelligent and patriotic North as one great anarchy, and of the Northern people as a godless mob of Puritans, Freelovers, Abolitionists, Mormons, Atheists and Amalgamationists, has given the gentlemen who have cast away the slav

The tone of the Southern newspapers, when speaking of the wealthy, intelligent and patriotic North as one great anarchy, and of the Northern people as a godless mob of Puritans, Freelovers, Abolitionists, Mormons, Atheists and Amalgamationists, has given the gentlemen who have cast away the slave-whip for the sword quite a mistaken notion of our resources as well as of our character. Consequently, having said to us in the elegant language of Marshal Rynders. We do n't believe a word in your d — d philanthropy, they consider that by saying, so they have floored us. We beg leave to announce to them that they will find, no free-love in our fire-arms, no irreligion in our revolvers no theories in our bombardments no Mormonism in our musketry, no cant in our commissariat, and no niggardliness in our military chests.

Our property is n't fugacious — has n't two legs — does n't run away or get sick and die. Another Southern notion is that the moment we begin to be pinched and bread to grow dear we shall all be under the domination of King Mob and his army of starving artisans.
