ry as ours to supply our armies and our people, if those at home will devote their whole energies to the task. A vast portion of our land, once employed in the production of cotton, tobacco and other exports, is now devoted almost exclusively to the raising of breads. stuffs, and, notwithstanding the devastation of raids, there will be more than enough, if the cultivators of the soil are diligent and Heaven blesses their labors, to feed themselves and half a dozen such armies as that of General Lee. No man should be detained from cultivation by the possibility of raids any more than by the possibility of rust and chinch bugs. It is the duty of the farmer, in the one case as in the other, to sow his seed and trust to God to give the increase. Let those who are exempt from the peril and privation of battle struggle to support those who are exposed to both. Whilst the soldiers are fighting against the bayonets of the enemy, let the farmers fight against the starvation tactics, whic

The soldiers of the Confederacy have won the admiration of the world, not less by their splendid valor than their heroic endurance. The world has no such army as that of the Confederate States. It is not composed of mercenaries, who fight for their monthly pay, and have no interest in the cause which they support. It is made up of the valor, the pith, the intellect and the soul of the country. It is fighting for home, for wife and children, for freedom, for honor, for religion, for all that is dear in memory and precious in hope. The young men who compose that army need not be told that their mothers, their sisters, their aged fathers, are looking to them for deliverance from slavery; nor that there is no future for themselves but exile or bondage, if they fail. We are not surprised to hear that there is no such word as fail in their hearts or their thoughts. We wish that some of the croakers at home could have heard the cheers of a certain division, lately, as it confron
Andy Johnson (search for this): article 4
The Northern journals do not seem disposed to patronize His Excellency, Andy Johnson, Vice- President of the United States. The exhibition he made of himself on the Inauguration Day was not worthy of the wisest and most virtuous people in the world and the best government under the sun. The American Eagle was much chagrineh state of inebriation, and invited several of the prominent friends of temperance to engage with him in single combat. The Army and Navy Gazette says that Mr. Johnson's "bearing at the capitol, 'trembling a little, probably, with excitement,' and his rather incoherent speech, 'which was scarcely audible on account of the noisrive their power from the people' is too obvious a truism to require 'two minutes and a half on that point.' "On that fatal occasion, the prominent idea in Mr. Johnson's mind seems to have been that he was a 'plebeian'; and that he was 'proud of the title.' --In the strict sense of the term, however, the claim he makes at dist

ominent idea in Mr. Johnson's mind seems to have been that he was a 'plebeian'; and that he was 'proud of the title.' --In the strict sense of the term, however, the claim he makes at distinction on that ground cannot be conceded. He must show some other reason than that why he should fill the second office in this country. Here, every man is supposed to be a plebeian." And then the Gazette goes on to express the hope that "the peril of assassination with which, according to rumor, Mr. Lincoln was threatened a week since, may be averted for the sake of the country." We cannot express our own shame and dejection that the free and enlightened country should elect such a Vice-President, and, what is worse, that he should compromise the superior gentility thereof before those benighted, insolent foreigners, the European Ministers, who were looking on and listening all the while, and no doubt drawing the most unfavorable conclusions against the virtue and intelligence of the pe

arth. The New York Tribune deals the Hon. Andy some awful licks, and the Army and Navy Gazette dissects him with a sharp instrument, and with evident loathing, as if it were dissecting something very disagreeable to its while hands. Our readers recollect Hon. Andy's speech to the assembled wisdom and virtue of the nation on the occasion of his being sworn in. We do not recollect any speech that seems to have created a like sensation except that of the red-nosed apostle of temperance, Rev. Mr. Stiggins, when he attended the "Ebenezer Branch" in a high state of inebriation, and invited several of the prominent friends of temperance to engage with him in single combat. The Army and Navy Gazette says that Mr. Johnson's "bearing at the capitol, 'trembling a little, probably, with excitement,' and his rather incoherent speech, 'which was scarcely audible on account of the noise in the galleries, ' have not escaped the reporters.

Why did not his Excellency Andy, before he went to Washington, familiarize himself with the counsels of Mr. Sam Slick when appointed attache at the Court of "St. Jimses, Buckin'ham," and instructed "to sustain the honor of the nation on all occasions, demanding and enforcing your true, place in society, at the top of the pot, and our exalted rank at foreign courts as the greatest, freest, and most enlightened nation now existin'." Mr. Slick, now, was a man who could realize that it would not do to carry the clockmaker to court. "An attache! " says he. "Well, it's a station of great dignity, too, aint it? It makes me feel kinder narvous and whimble-cropped, for I have got to sustain a new character (which Andy forgets) and act a new part in the play of life.
