of the money ought to be expended in erecting a continuous gallows around the Capitol grounds, to be thickly strange with head rebels, from Jeff., the arch traitor, down to the microscopic Twiggs, the most contemptible of them all. Tell the boys — do hold on; a few more pork rations and hard crackers, and you will have the pleasure of opening up avenues through the ranks of the fighting rebels, and hearing prayers under the scaffold of traitors of the upper ten. Give my best regards to Hosford. He is a good fellow, with an excellent mother, and sisters who love Christ. I think he wants to be a Christian. I hope the solemn surroundings of a soldier's life have not failed to impress him with a need of a preparation for eternity. I am comfortably fixed in Brooklyn — an advance in every respect over the old spot. Secession is an infection, you perceive. Fourth Ward Mission is apparently near its end.

Letter from the Perihelia of a Zouave Chaplain. Groveton, Prince William Co. Va., August 25, 1861. To the Editors of the Richmond Dispatch:--I send you a trophy from the Yankee retreat from Manassas. It seems that the Rev. G. W. Dodge, Chaplain of the Elisworth Fire Zouaves, in endeavoring to dodge from our cavalry on the evening of the 21st of July, dropped his portfolio near my house, (which is the house known in the various descriptions of the battle as the Sudley House.) One of my children picked it up, and, on making a minute examination of its contents a few days ago, I found the accompanying letter from a Brother Saint of the New York school of reverends. Respectfully, yours, Crawford Cushing. 63 Portland Av., Brooklyn, July 12. Dear Brother Dodge: Your welcome letter reached me two weeks after date. I have been away a week, and so I have seemed to be neglectful of your epistle. I was very glad to hear from you. I have thought frequently of

hance to do a big thing with those infernal traitors before they get home. I wish I could run down and see you. It would be delightful to see the boys in fierce array, spilin' for a fight, and no fight at hand. We have great confidence in Gen. Scott up here; and we have confidence in prompt measures, too. There are some rebel batteries a little too close to Federal lines to make it particularly honorable or creditable. I think the boys would like to take some of these posts by contract, ao much for the job. I think in that case the rebel Congress would never meet in Richmond. And wouldn't the Fire Zouaves "be there to see," and have a big finger in that pie? Methinks so. Do you think it would be worth while to correspond with Gen Scott on the subject? I am anxious to have these palm-leaf nabobs gloriously whipped — so thoroughly that for a generation they will be glad to hold a Northerner's horse for a six pence. I wish you and the boys could be in at the death. Can't you a

y. Suppose you are permitted to look out for your own provender, and do up the rebellion at so much for the job. I think in that case the rebel Congress would never meet in Richmond.

I wish you and the boys could be in at the death. Can't you all hold on to the end? No doubt you have longings for the good things of Broadway restaurants, or the better comforts of home; but it is not often that free-born Americans have an opportunity to fight or die for such a country as this. Hadn't you all better stay till you wipe the thing clean, and then for once tell your children a tale that the angels would love to listen to ? I suppose if you would on

Brother Dodge: Your welcome letter reached me two weeks after date. I have been away a week, and so I have seemed to be neglectful of your epistle. I was very glad to hear from you. I have thought frequently of you since we parted in Broadway, after the purchase of that knife and revolver. If a bullet from the latter had been honored in a lodgment in the assassin Jackson's vile carcase, it would have been a pleasant piece of information. I am very much afraid your boys are not to have a serious brush with the rebels within the unfortunate three months of enlistment. It will be a dry rain with them if they make a return march up Broadway without having had a real grand tug with the ice. It will be like running the machine to a fire and finding the fire out. I hope, for their own sakes, they will have a chance to do a big thing with those infernal traitors before they get home. I wish I could run down and see you. It would be delightful to see the boys in fierce arra
Abraham Lincoln (search for this): article 2
h we do not so well like her neutrality, believing that she should be with us, adding another star to our Confederacy, we could be reconciled to it if she would in reality preserve neutrality. Instead of which, she only cries neutrality, whilst Lincoln & Co. are sending in arms, money (if any he can get) and men to aid her disloyal sons to deprive the rest of all power, and finally, in a fight which they must soon have among themselves, to subjugate and turn Kentucky over to the usurper. Kentfight among them. Some evil spirits have been and are now exerting themselves to get up a difficulty between our State and Kentucky. I hope they will fail, and that Kentucky will yet merit the assistance of Tennessee when her hour shall come. Lincoln, Scott & Co. can go into Kentucky, if Kentuckians will permit their neutrality to be disregarded; but woe be to them when they pollute the soil of Tennessee; for all her men, old and young, even women and children, will fight them to the death.
