Saxon (search for this): article 1
The Spring Elections are upon us again, and affording once more that healthful, bracing stimulant which, even in the midst of war, our Anglo-Saxon constitutions require. A Spring Election is an indispensable tonic to the stomachs of Southern freemen. From time immemorial we have found it as useful before summer as a mint-julep before breakfast in those days when mint, ice, loaf sugar and whiskey existed. The precious compound, which sent joy to so many hearts and ruin to so many hearthstones, is a thing of the past; but the Spring Elections remain, and, in the midst of battle and bloodshed, retain their potent fascinations. Political campaigns are now rivalling the interest of military campaigns; there is generalship in politics as well as in fighting; there are flank movements, ambuscades, mining and counter mining. The great difference is, that he who runs fastest wins the laurels in one case, and loses them in the other. The fastest pair of legs is the desideratum amon

d vim that, if combined in a physical demonstration against the enemy, would sweep him from the face of the earth. Whatever else the raids of Sheridan & Co. destroy, they cannot extinguish the inevitable sparring for legislative honors. Lee and Grant, Johnston and Sherman, must be content to stand aside from public attention for the present, till the great battle of the Legislative Ins and Outs is decided. We suggest to the enemy that the coolness and system with which our people are nowst to the enemy that the coolness and system with which our people are now going about this work do not look much like the deportment of men who are in daily expectation of being subjugated. We have none of us the most remote idea of permitting them to deprive us of our favorite pastime of voting. We intend to go ahead, in Old Virginia, voting for our own rulers, or servants, as they modestly style themselves, for the next hundred years, Grant, Sherman & Co. to the contrary notwithstanding.

Elections. We admire the tenacious ardor and vitality of the passion to vote and be voted for. Scarcely has a huge cavalry raid swept over the country, and apparently stripped it of every living thing, before there spring up in its track, green and imperishable, political candidates and their supporters, who pitch into each other with a patriotism and vim that, if combined in a physical demonstration against the enemy, would sweep him from the face of the earth.

to many of other races who have been ravaging our country. A larger number of them have been converted to Christianity in the slaveholding States than all the conversions which the whole missionary enterprise of England and America have accomplished in the whole world. Our enemies, therefore, need not expect us to be either astonished or mortified by what seems new to them in the character of Southern negroes.--The Northern and English slave- traders brought them to us savages; they are now civilized and Christian. Have we not done better by them than those who brought them here? It is sad to think what a change may be wrought by negro emancipation in those sections which have fallen into abolition hands. If, with all the Yankee teachers imported for their instruction, and all the appliances of a pseudo-philanthropy for their improvement, they do not deteriorate in both moral and physical qualities, we have read the history of mankind and of the African race to little purpose.
Sherman (search for this): article 3
Whilst Sherman advances northward, the sea closes behind him, and lifts up its unfettered hands on high. He leaves not even a trace of his conquering keel over the vast expanse he has crossed. The subjugation of such a territory as that of the Confederacy is simply an impossibility, if the people are true to themselves. Borne down in one place, we will rise in another, and let him discover that he has a war on his hands which will last as long as his most passionate desires for bloodshed can demand. We cannot yield life, honor, property, freedom, all that makes us men, without struggling till every hand is paralyzed and every heart grows cold in death.

as as soon as he became assured that Arnold had escaped. From that time until his death, Andre seems to have reposed the utmost confidence in Major Tallmadge, who was nearly of the same age, and deeply sympathized with his prisoner. This is a very singular circumstance connected with this affair, which, as it is told by Sparks, himself a Yankee, we suppose we may repeat without the imputation of undue prejudice against that interesting people. Many years after the death of Andre, about 1818 or '19, Major Tallmadge, then an old man, was a member of Congress when a bill was brought in to bestow a pension on David Williams, the survivor of the captors, and opposed it most vehemently. In the course of his speech, he gave a most interesting narrative of the whole transaction. He said that Andre told him, when he came upon the three militiamen, they were sitting on the ground playing cards, and that they would have let him pass if he had the money to pay them for doing so which they

ave been sufficiently numerous, there has been no case like that of Arnold. No general officer has, so far as we are aware, ever been suspected of selling himself and his country for gold. An Arnold could have been produced only in Yankeedom. No other portion of that immense terrihowed Jamieson Arnold's pass, Jamieson ordered him to be carried to Arnold. The affair would thus have been only temporarily delayed — Andre on duty, arrived after Andre had been started off, under escort, to Arnold. He no sooner saw the papers that had been found on Andre than he saw at once that there was treason in the case, and that Arnold was at the bottom of it. He entreated Colonel Jamieson (who seems to have been it will be recollected, was disguised as a merchant and passed in Arnold's passport by the name of John Anderson. As soon as Tallmadge laid confined. Andre told who he was as soon as he became assured that Arnold had escaped. From that time until his death, Andre seems to have r
