s that a Yankee would hardly travel on foot, and just about day came up to a beautiful farm, which is said to have belonged to a Yankee, and which contained plenty of food for our horses, and then we went into the confiscating business in earnest. After refreshing ourselves we moved on towards a village called Aldle, smile beyond which we encamped. The inhabitants were delighted to see us — previsions were freely distributed; water was setting out in buckets for us as we passed. The ladies said they could hardly realize the fact that the rebels were again among them. At a town called Middleburg, Confederate colors were to be seen everywhere. Cheers for Jeff, Davis, Stuart's cavalry, etc., were given by the young ladies with a hearty will. At Warrenton the same enthusiasm was displayed. All seemed joyous — all was gay.

The Yankees. In his address the other night, President Davis said of the Yankees that they had "gotten possession of a Government which they did not understand, and which in six months they found themselves totally unable to administer." In this respect the Yankee has proved that he is the same animal with his Puritan forefathers in England. The sect of Puritans which grew up under Elizabeth, and expanded prodigiously under James, had already become sufficiently great under Charles to turn the scale in the contest with his Parliament. The time was, beyond all things, opportune for them. Real, numerous, and mighty grievances existed, and it became necessary to lop them off, even at the expense of civil war. These grievances were religious as well as political; and this fact gave the Puritans an opportunity which they did not neglect.
