totmicatim For the Yorkvllle Enquirer. To the Volunteers from York District. Gallant Sirs:?In the developement of the point in hand, you are brought to the fifth illustration, which is one that should commend itself to every mind and heart: 5. It is that the favor of (rod, and the experience of a Christian, do alone prepare the soldier for the fearful havoc of life to which he is exposed. The warrior is so conversant with the ravages of disease, death in the camp, and destruction of life upon the battle-field, that his sensibilities are made callous, and hence the peril menacing his own life, excites no alarm. But still there are terrors about it, that should not be suppressed or forgotten. The destruction of human life is the avowed object of war, or, at least, a necessary concomitant of all wars. To this end the soldier is summoned, armed, drilled and led to the field. The more successful an army is in inflicting loss of life upon the enemy, the more nearly do they nprfpofr. the mission linon which thev are sent. And that this result has been achieved, upon a grand scale, is clearly j . evinced by the history of some of the noted battles and campaigns whose sta- j tistics are before us. The siege of ancient Troy destroyed one million and eight hundred thousand liyes ; that of Jerusalem one million and one hundred | thousand. The whole number of souls that followed Xerxes into Greece, was' more than five millions, of whom only three thousand escaped destruction.? At the battle of Austerlitz 30,000 fell; at Jena and Lutzen 30,000 each; at Eylau, 60,000; at Waterloo, 70,000 ; at Borodino, 80,000; at Fontenoy, 100,000; at Chalous, 300,000 of a single army. By the wars of Napoleon, six millions perished; and, even in his Russian campaign, which lasted less than six months, a million of lives were sacrificed. In the late Crimean war the total loss of life is estimated at 450,000, and this during a period of one year. In the siege of Silistria, as an example, 30,000 Russians fell; and in the siege oMtekistopol, more than 100,000 were S^^*ed, excluding the num? * k ? ^ oers who were swept away Dy disease. And in the late contest in Sardinia, it is said that at the single battle of Solferino, 30,000 womeruwere made widows. This dark array of statistics only shows what fatality has attended the wars of the past, where such immense armies were engaged. The probability is, that in proportion to the number on the field, the number destroyed was not larger than the average where less armies are collected. When the modern improvements in the weapons of warfare, the perfection of military drill, and the courage of soldiers battling for inaliei.able rights, are all remembered, the inference is irresistible, that very many must fall upon the field of earn- j age. But besides the liability to death | in this way, the dangers from accident! and disease must, also, be brought into j view. What proportion of men are| injured, and even loose their lives, by j weapons in their own, or hands of their j friends, no estimate can he made. In, South Carolina, within a few months, j at least, six have been thus shot or pier-! ced with a bayonet, and half of these | fatally injured; and in Virginia fully j ten have thus suffered, and a part of i them have died, within a few weeks. As to mortality from disease, it is certain that on an average, many more! thus perish, than fall in battle, where the campaign is protracted. As specimens : It is said that in the Peninsular war in Spain, only 40,000 soldiers were killed, or died of wounds, while 120,- j 000 died of disease. In the Crimea, it! is highly probable that, where one perished on the field, at least three died in camp, of Cholera, Typhus Fever and other diseases. In the Avar betAvecn the United States and Mexico, there were to every one of the United States' sol- i diers killed in battle, more than five who died from diseases incident to the climate and camp. The soldier then must be regarded as actually environed by the footfalls of death; he meets it in its 7 j most ghastly and terrific forms at every j point. To die, as the soldier dies, is no! ordinary fate. Gloomy as the monster' death usually is, he puts on his blackest habiliments when he approaches the warrior. If the man falls in the crisis of battle, he is either hurried into eternity without a moment of time for thought or preparation, and with revengeful purposes in his heart; or he is compelled to agonize for hours or days with some frightful wound, and under circumstances which are by no means favorable to repentance of sins, or equipping the soul for its eternal flight. Or if he dies in camp, there will be no soft hand of love to wipe the death damp from his brow, or voice to cheer his last hour with Avords of affection. Neglected by comrades, far from home and friends, and perhaps, alone, except his surgeon be present, he passes to the unseen Avorid, and without, in most cases, a single opportunity of having the Gospel provisions presented to him.? Thus to die is wretched, is awful, is horrific to the soul. This shocking picture ?and it is not dark enough even to be natural?is too frequently a melancholy reality. How then, can the soldier who is not at peace Avith his God, Avho is not o P!hri<stinn mppt. death. which as sails him on every hand? Can the last deeds of his life array his soul aright for the presence of his God ? No.? For, at best, works cannot secure the pardon of sin, or renew the impure and depraved heart, and the dying warrior's last deeds are chiefly mingled with malicious and revengeful feelings, and so, do but aggravate his sins. Will it suffice him, that he was brave and skillful and falls doing his duty as a soldier ?? No! Courage, patriotism, and fidelity to one's colors, are no passport to Heav en, for they work no change in the soul whose sins are not purged by anything less than the blood of the Lamb of God Heroes and patriots may and do live a: impenitent sinners, and may and do die as such, but thus dying they can ant must perish forever. But will not the justice of their cause either shield then from death, or be a covering for theii sins, and thus secure their possession o: eternal life ? No! The cause of righi and justice is not always crowned witl victory. Leonidas and his three hundred brave comrades, were defending a just and righteous cause, and yet they perished at Thermopylae. Whilst it is true, that the probabilities are in favor of such a cause, yet injustice and oppression are sometimes allowed to triumph over the defenders of home, religion and country, and all dearest rights ?and in these triumphs, even for a time, many a valiant and worthy hero may perish?his cause not being a sure defence against death. In his fall, the purity of his motives, and the justice of his cause, may relieve him of the guilt of being a murderer at heart, or of falling in the actual perpetration of wickedness, but more than this it can' ""i d /V An f A A iiui uu. i ainuusiii aim ucivuuu iu a, holy and just cause, are not religion, nor are they any sort of equivalents for it; and hence they are utterly incompetent to furnish the soul with a title for Heaven. Will not the fame and halo of honor that will attach to him who perishes in battling for his country, be, in some way, a substitute or compensation to him who lacks an interest in Christ ? No! no ! Poets have always chauntedthe perils of falling heroes, and grateful countrymen will ever embalm with honors, the memory of him who sacrifices his life upon the altar of his country, and an ignominious death is ever to be shunned, consistently with right; but all these are valueless to the soul, as it stands unstript at the bar of God. Earthly favors and fame never purchase the smiles of God. But the eternal frown and contempt of Jehovah must be the heritage of every man who dies without being allied to Christ by faith. Let none of these things, then, gentlemen, delude your souls, but give all concern and effort to secure the essence and gem and argument of religion. Thus will you have ground to expect that "God will cover your head in the day of battle," and thus at least, if you fall, by death you will gain the victory of eternal life. MENTOR. For the Yorkville Enquirer. Messrs. Editors:?You will please insert the following letter, which was written in answer to one I received from a gentleman in Pennsylvania, in which I have copied certain of his remarks, as sent to me. I make this request in answer to many of my friends, as well as yours, who have insisted upon its publication in your journal. Rock Hill, April 22, 1861. Mr. : Yours of the 19th of February in reply to my communica tion, has been received, and contents noticed. You say, that agreeable to your reading of the Constitution, that it was the purpose and desire of its makers, "that slavery should soon die out," and that "a republican and christian sentiment would confine it to the control of the State authorities," requiring Congress to have nothing to do with it, "except securing the rendition of fugitive slaves." In reply to this suggestion, I beg leave to say, that if your construction be correct, then language can have no meaning; as if there was no such intention on the part of those who framed it. and solemnized the same by one amonsr the most solemn oaths that can be O _ t # # penned on paper for its protection, it could have been nothing less than an act of knavery, to delude and deceive the great mass of the American people. Now had they intended to have nothing to do with it, why was it, that negroes, as property, was at all put into the Constitution in any shape or form, more than that of any other species of property ? Why say that the slave trade, may or may not be suspended by the year 1808, leaving the question open for the consideration of Congress. as to ? - - ;o ^ whether it w ould be expedient to allow j it or to suspend it ? This position, I j am sure, can not be denied by the most j ultra abolitionist, upon a plain logical view of the claims of the Constitution alluded to. So far as slavery has to do with either Church or State, there can be neither a moral, religious, or a political wrong attached to it; on the contrary, socially viewed, by both races, (where capable of appreciating their relative condition) will have a natural tendency to an acquiescence 011 the part of both parties, so that they will naturally agree to abide their respective situations, so long as the black man and woman shall produce after their kind, and the white man and woman after their kind. Otherwise, a revolution must take place in the order of God's decrees, that must put him to shame. This, I presume, you are not prepared to admit, nor am I prepared to admit that a negro is a black white man, to be put on an equality with the white race, any more than j God was when he made us thus. But you may appeal to reason, as you have done, rather than abide the declaration of the Bible, within whose lids are precepts, examples, and commandments, regulating the institution of slavery, more numerous than I have space for at this time. A few of which I will call your attention to, viz : Gen. 9 :25, 26, 27 ; Levit. 25:1?8, 44, 45, 46 ; Ex. 21:16, 32; Eph. 6 : 5 to 8, inclusive. Outside of the Bible, and agreeable to the cardinal laws of physiology, nature ever has and ever will produce after the prime cause of her germination of like kind, hence we see her so perfect and uniform in all of her developments, and rarely ever swerving, unless brought about by some second cause producing {corresponding developements ; so that jthe mind caves in at the thought of bej ing forced to any other conclusion. In a political point of view, I take it for granted that the slaves who are well informed, consider themselves better of I . , ,1 1 . tnan tnousanas 01 me poor wmies, as . well as that of their free born brothers [ and that they will contend alongsid< . of their masters for their places mor< r assiduously, than any of those who ari . living as hired servants in many part > of the world; because, they have al r ways a good provider and one whose in terest it is to look after them with care i and often with much anxiety for thei i safety. So that, peradventure, shouh I your philosophy prove true, that w ?j may be surrounded by a cordon of fre< i' States, whose people may come dowi I upon us like a pack of "vandals," nev f ertheless, we can and will meet them a t (the gateway, and play bomb and bard 1 i to their tune of Yankee Twaddle, tha will teach them a lesson of good manners, as well as of good breeding, for the edification of their offspring. So far as "numbers" are concerned, there can be but one contingency that can possibly produce a disturbance between the white and black races ; and but for the abolition doctrines, there never can and never will be any want of ability to control the negroes. I will now state to you and your black republican friends, that the doctrines they teach, as well as yourself, tend only to disturb this relation; and but for this intermeddling, the brawny arm of the naturally ignorant slave, and incapable of intellectual culture to any great degree, would never have been raised against-foa only true and benevolent benefactor, who has brought him out of bondage the most servile, ignominious, degraded and degrading, that the human mind is capable of conceiving. And yet, notwithstanding all this, your party has had the audacity to induce those ignorant creatures to visit, in the dark and secret hours of the night, the houcnc orifl nKnfloc nf frtnnrlc \rVir\ sir a tfl thein the best and greatest benefactors, that God has been pleased to bestow upon them; and thus to put an end to their existence, by such means as the abolitionist may confer upon them, or advise them to use. What an awful accountability must rest on all such as are conscious of such misrule and devotion to Hell hound sinners. But for such, and the like causes, the negroes would be undoubtedly the most happy people on earth, and we would never have any difficulty in their management. No sir, the negroes of themselves, by and with the advice of one white man and his family, could and would be controlled in the proportion of one to the hundred or more, as they (negroes) know full well that their subordination is absolutely necessary for their own happiness. It is true, that the course pursued by your party, has caused much greater strictures on the negroe's liberty, but in no other way, than with those who have foolishly pandered to the tancy of those strikers, who have been sent in among us, and who have had to leave, on account of their insolence, with a coat of tar and feathers, or the lash and a shaved head. This, I have no doubt, will be called the act of slaveocracy, mob-ocraey, or by some other hard name. Be this as it may, we are bound to provide for our own households; otherwise, we would be worse than infidels. You say "during the contest for power in the government, that 'the slaveocrats' took the lion's share in the purchase of Louisiana." Suppose I admit this to be a fact, and then prove that we paid for it; when, at the same time, we were paying your merchants, manufacturers and paupers, on merchandise, at the rate of 50 to 150 per cent., on account of the ungodly law of protection to your manufacturers, what would you then say ? The fact is just this, that we are an agricultural people, and have had to support the government, vour manufacturers, shippers, ironmon1 1 X - ll i - gers, ana almost every otner enterprise that has infested the brain of your ismmongers for the last 40 or 50 years; and now the time has come when we have determined to shake off the manacles that unscrupulous demagogues have imposed upon us ; because of the majority being from the North, and having it in their power to out vote us, regardless of the true meaning of the Constitution, thereby converting the government into a machine shop, to make shavings of our people, so as to turn to their account all advantages, regardless of consequences. The result of which has aroused our people to a pitch that has completely enveloped the i whole populace to a most daring atti| tude. You thought "there would be no war at this time;" that old Abe was a very clever fellow and that he would not hurt us if lie could help it." We are not afraid of any man, who has had the impertinence to say, there has been 'no harm done,' 'nobody hurt,' 'all is right,' when the reverse, to an alarming ex icm ail uvu LUC vjruvui 11U1C111-, Y>a? tut; fact. Why, sir, if you or I had said such a thing, we would have been marked as fools, if not as idiots. He is a coward, and a puppy of the sneaking, sheep-thief kind, or he never would have used such language, and much less to have attempted to reinforce Fort Sumter. Our brave boys gave him a reinforcement on his war vessels lying outside the bar of Charleston, from the rascals within Fort Sumter, that ought to have been hung. It is true, as you have said, "that a President and Vice-President have been elected without leave of the South, and that the like never was done before." GdWtorbid that it should ever be again. If the course be pursued as proposed by your people, it will, in time, be a mixed mongrel breed of nobodies, degraded beneath the dignity and nobleness of the white race. I hope that neither God or man will ever allow it to be. This very act, in conjunction with others ot like kind, have been the cause of all our difficulties ; and as you say; "destroyed one of the best Governments the world ever knew." What an awful thought! Of this onr hands arc clean, and you are bound to admit the fact, that our statesmen, have from year to year, for the last 30 consecutive years, plead, insisted and remonstrated with your members in the great parliament of the nation, but failed to make any lasting im pression, even as Paul did with the most noble Lord, Festus. Yes, they con; tended with the powers of reason and I eloquence, for the strict observance of f the faith once delivered to us by our an> cestors; but it was all unavailing. Fa; naticism has prevailed, and your leaders i have become the foot stool for the corJ ner stone of this once great and glorie ous republic of freemen, who will most s certainly be crushed to atoms. It is - now too late for reconciliation ; the Ru bicon has been passed, and the die is cast forever. You seem to think our r "politicians feel rather bad." Be asI sured of the fact, that they are all a e fine looking set of men, and that a more e grave, patriotic, generous neartea, magi nanimous, representative body never as sembled on this globe, than met in the t Convention in Charleston and Mont, gomery, as a body. As for grief or fear, t these words can find no place in the bosom of a single member ; nor will it be found among our people. No, sir, the fact is, and will be, that the fears are on the Black Republican side; and well may they fear, for a cruel and destructive war awaits them in your own country, that may prove a terrible scene for contemplation. I find your people are terribly divided, whilst we are a unit. (Here I sent him many proofs of this fact, as published from his own country). You charge our 'slave-ocrats,' with saying that "those who have no negroes cry white trash, and have been accustomed to rule the nation." In answer to this charge, I have in part already shown, that we have been ruled with an iron rod, by your ism-mongers. As for "white trash," I have no doubt but you have a sufficient quantity to fraternise with all of the negroes that can be induced or stolen away from us. So far as regards our poor ptopie, wno regard themselves as gentlemen above the low sordid serfs of degradation, we take hold of their hands, in the bonds of friendship and fellowship, either in Church or State, and do all such acts of kindness as properly belong to gentlemen. Poverty is no disgrace; it is only an inconvenience, that is all. You ask the question if "I am not afraid that the Republicans will send down an army and take away our negroes, &c.," &c. I have no such fears; nor do I fear the negroes, nor do I fear any body else. Yet I do fear that the still born, sneaking order of the Black Republican party, may do us some harm, to infest our country with a pack of sneaking dogs; whilst at the same time, they are making every preparation to reinforce our forts. It was most fortunate for them that Fort Sumter did not get reinforced, for if she had been, there would have been a terrible slaughter among them, that could not have been helped. You say that you think "the North will rule us whether we remain in the Union or not." If this be the object of the Black Republican party, the sooner we are separated the better, as then we will stand some chance of knowing how much we may have to pay to Caesar for naught. What a contemptible idea! Why, sir, if we are thus to be menaced and driven about, be assured of the fact that the day it is attempted, will be a day of retribution. You have advised me and your friends "to come out of Sodom and Gomorrah, and flee to the mountain tops, lest we be polluted and partakers of the plagues of your (our) people." If you nman fanaticism on almost all subjects, it would be well enough, perhaps, for Us to retire. But as the signs of the times bids fair for a serene and clear blue sky, we think we had better stay where we are, for fear if we should come up among those burning volcanoes, that are pushing the oil through the earth among you, that when they burst, we might be found ?-?AttrliAwn Vv a n tti n a/1 nti/1 iiu it iic;i J.iiuicivicj uu auviocu anu take counsel of those who are as wise as serpents, and come out from your place of stay, lest you be swallowed up in eternal ruin. (Since writing this letter, one of those oil wells has exploded and destroyed a vast amount of property and a great number of lives, and is now a burning volcano and destroying everything before it. So say the papers). I do not think as you do on the relative rights of superiors and inferiors, since it was the pleasure of God to make such discriminations. If he had made all men equal, it would have been so; i and we as intellectual beings, would have been, from necessity, compelled to have discovered the fact; but this not being the case, facts drive us on to the most certain of all conclusions, that it was not his pleasure to have it so ; consequently, we see the vast difference that exists among men of the same race, as well as of different races. Therefore, inferiors must, of necessity, look up to their superiors for counsel and as sistance in time of need, even of tne same race, and when we come to separate and distinct races, I consider the necessity of much greater magnitude, and wholly to be regarded as a duty on the part of the inferior race, to be in subordination and subject to the entire management and control of the superior race. Therefore to say that all men are equal of every grade, class or kind, is a moral and physical no such thing. You have asked me to do the thing I cannot, although I might strive ever so hard ; yet because God's law forbids such, how can I do it ? In this wise you have asked me to do a thing, that would require Deity to change the whole organism of my organic structure, and then to put within me a new spirit, so as to adapt my mental and physical abilities to the requisitions of a suitable subject of subordination. A question I have answered notwithstanding its im pertinence. I must now close, hoping that you will review your works on the right of man, and think of the distinctions as made by Deity ; and for all time to come, never descend to put yourself on an equality, or any of your friends, with that that you know your (rod and father has never allowed to he. For as it is said whatever God joins together he allows no man to put asunder. No, nor even so, whatever he has created apart, does he alloiv to be joined together.? No, never, never advocate the doctrines of Robespiere, who must now be hanging by his fangs, to the central post of perdition, there to atone for the miseries of the millions of happy beings, who were plunged into hell upon earth, to gratify his fiendish purposes. Do not be angry, keep cool, and be advised by one who cares for his rights. JON. N. McELWEE. P. S.?Since writing the above, I have read an extract of Wendal Phillips' lecture, as delivered before the Lyceum, in the city of Boston. He has i made predictions that may come true ; I believe it will, as to the West, but not i of the New England States, New York or Pennsylvania. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Just look now at Washington city.? Lincoln and his party have turned the whole city and State House into an harbor for demagogues and thieves. No wonder Phillips should cry aloud, and when he does so, how much more should we ? Our government is now gone forever, and God will damn the party to everlasting destruction for it. The course pursued, has fixed all things for , all time to come. Slavery is now doomed j to exist forever. Just the greatest ; blessing to the negro, white man, and society throughout the world, that can be sprung. God has decreed it. J. N. M. Probable Movements on the Border. The New York Herald gives us the following consoling information as "the situation of affairs There can be very little doubt that the Government is about to inaugurate an active aggressive policy towards the South, and that the same vigorous course which has reduced Maryland to submission, and has happily saved her from annihilation, is to be pursued towards Virginia and the two Carolina8. The Cabinet has been in almost continuous session for the past two days, arranging the programme for a grand Southern expedition, the result of which has been to decide upon the creation of a military department of Virginia, which will embrace Eastern Virginia to the summit of the Blue Ridge, together with the States of North and South Carolina. Major-General Butler is to have command of this department. His head-quarters will be at Fortress Monroe, which will be the basis of operations. The garrison of the Fort is to consist of three thousand men, and a force of fifteen to twenty thousand troops are to be placed in camp outside, in the vicinity of the fort, and under the protection of its guns. The Tittn and Sixth (Massachusetts) Regiments are to proceed at once from the Relay House to Fortfess Monroe. It is decided that two large camps are to be established?of reserved forces, we presume?one at Staten Island and the other at Harrisburg, Pa. A Washington despatch to the New York Tribune would seem to confirm the above. It says : The Day of Jubilee has come, and the 30,000 troops remaining in and about this city are rejoicing that they are so soon to show of what mettle they are made. That Richmond is the point of early attack is no longer matter of doubt, but by which route the force will go is undeveloped. At Culpepper Court House, Brigadier General Cocke has 6000 well armed troops, who are in expectancy of an early assault. Scattered at convenient points between Alexandria and in it, are nearly 3000 troops, who are not expected to make a stand or show fight until they have retreated to the main body at Culpepper. Government has definite information nn i-Vioan nrtinto it is onnsirtarrrl hv military authorities that the proper course will be to march direct to Culpepper, and thence, if possible to Charlottesville, where are now two thousand five hundred troops, and thence to Lynchburg, as may be deemed best.? There will also be despatched forces by Aquia Creek, and a large-force by way of Norfolk, so that on all sides Richmond will be surrounded. Probably the first battle or encounter will be at Culpepper C. House, which is a town of 1000 inhabitants, about 60 miles from Washington and one hundred from Richmond, though the route is somewhat circuitous. Ik? fJniMi?

May 3 18 tf THE "PORTFOLIO."?AT THIS I' particular time, when we have severed every political ' lie which bound us In vassalage to an arrogant and oppressive North ; when we have plucked our stars from the hateful nnd contaminating atmosphere of fanaticism, and plnced "1 them in the clear blue of our own Southern sky, that they may shine encircled with a halo of truth, adorning our own J bright sunny land with their glorious lustre; when we have I erected a new ltepublic, declared our independence to the r world, It peculiarly becomes us as n people, to withdraw thnt r patronage, hitherto so liberally bestowed upon those who have proven themselves our worst enemies, and extend a ( helping hand to those "to the manor bom," who are true to our institutions, true to our principles, and to our native home; we should throw otf all shackles that hold us in any ( wise dependent upon a section whose creed is inimicnl to . our dearest rights; and whose people we can no longer con- ' template with the pure and holy love of brotherhood. 1 The Intelligence of a people Is ever estimated by the ^ character oftheir literature. We have intellects which will pale before none ! Authors, whose graceful pens drop ink- ' lets of gold, and strew shining pearls of thought. Let us, 1 then, turn our faces from the North, and seek literature for ^ old and young within our own borders?establish literary enterprises of our own, and foster and maintain them. lie- 1 Having that it Is the desire, nay intention, of our people to J do this, we propose to esutblisli a flHTWUPDV IfTVVVVl P DPDfAniPi T I. and thereby fill a vacuum, which has existed since the dc- < mise, years ngo, of the sweet little "Jioje Bvd." We, tlierefore, confidently appenl to nil to aid In establishing the ' enterprise upon a firm and substantial basis. Relieving ' that we appeal not In vain, we shall at the first, or during i the month of May, commence the issue of "THE PORTFOLIO," a monthly periodical, devoted to "Truth, Virtue and Temperance;" which shall not only become an agree- i able and amusing companion for the young, but, by the nb servancc of a high moral tone, seek to Instruct die rising mind, and teach the youthful heart. As far as we are able, we will make It interesting to nil. < Many of our most gifted writers, both of prose and verse, have kindly consented to assist in making THE PORTFO- 1 LIO rich with sparkling gems?the Southern asphodels of i thought. Of those who have thus vouchsafed their nid, we ] are permitted to name our esteemed poet friend, JAMES WOOD DAVIDSON, Rev. c. P. GADSDEN, Rf.v. J. R. KENDRICK. EDWIN HERRJOT, Dr. A. L. HAMMOND, B.

WtUie Lighthrart, Tom Lynn, Charlie Wild wood, I Louise Manheim, Kate R. Moreland, f'iola, Nellie, Toconh, , Stella and Maud; thus combining a brilliant contributory start*, whose merits have been recognized and justly appreciated. We will spare no pains to make THE PORTFOLIO the juvenile paper of the South. It will be neatly printed in clear type, upon fine book paper, quarto form, of good size; and among Its many attractions will contain a "Promenade," I in which our fair friends are invited to walk with us Into j every southern heart and home that is open to us; a "Joker's Bddget," which shall unfold rare wltticlims ; a "Little Farmer," and "Dairy Maid's Apartment a "Flo- ' ral Column," in which the prettiest flowers will bud; to- , gcther with a corner devoted to the "Brigade of Infantry," where our smallest friend can shine.
