[129] people, and travelling at any and all times from one portion of the Confederacy to the other!

Truly, here is a great contrast of position; one that should awaken Northern fanatics and insane politicians to a true sense of the unpopularity of their war against the South; and fully picturing to them the “shadow” and the “substance” of North American affairs.

John. --Natchez Courier, May 21.

Gen. Pillow, who is a clever gentleman in the private relations of life, and a very companionable man, sent us a message recently, which is explained in the following reply:--

Gen. Gideon Pillow:--I have just received your message through Mr. Sale, requesting me to serve as Chaplain to your Brigade in the Southern army; and in the spirit of kindness in which this request is made, but in all candor, I return for answer, that when I shall have made up my mind to go to hell, I will cut my throat and go direct, and not travel round by the Southern Confederacy.

I am very respectfully, &c.,


--Knoxville Whig.
Van Nostrand. New York, New York. 1862.
