were obliged to wander about the
streets, as if fighting for the very life
of the unfortunate outcasts. It was a
day when the rich wrapped themselves
more closely in thpir costly furs, and
'Shuddered when a fresh blast rattled
the window casements, as if they mis
trusted the power of their solid walls

It was a day when the forsaken and

how unbecoming does it seem for Mrs.
President Lincoln to be daily dashing
through the lines of soldiers upon the
Avenue, with her diiver and poati ion
in livery, in a glaringly labelled carri
age, to denote who is the passer; and,
..s if, in a time for fashion and dress,
shopping by .the way! But the dress
reception at the White House of the
evening was worse. It was strange
that such an official festival could have
been thought of. And then, as though
all were peace ami happiness round
about, as if there was “nobody hurt,’’
how gay was it, and what display
lliere was'
That the effect of such things is mis
chievous must be apparent. How must
they take heart out of those who, hav
ing surrendered to the President, to be
used by him in this war, for the sake
of the government of oar fathers, their
veriest darlings, so to find their great
sacrifices apparently not weighing at
all upon him. A mother’s letter,which
I have seen, whose first-born has com
mitted t.is fortunes to the war, runs up
on this subject as follows :
“Ob! tliiswa:. ILwv sad and heavy-
hearted is every one! And yet the
President has a reception ai d Mrs. 1 in-
coln figures in drejs. XVhy should
her brocade and pearls, even if worn,
be jnentioi ed ? Was it to torture the
many who have had to part with eve
rything, by reason of the distresstul
condition into which sectional parties
have brought us r Far fi'tcr is it in
my view, in this our day of humiliation,
for us to wear sackcloth and be in ash
es, than to be t ecked in pearls and
brocades ; it wou'd Show a truer spirit.
Why not our chief lay aside all fashion,
all festivities, all dress, all parade, atul
seem to realize the crisis, all with which
the hours are charged, and so be to
us, to all, an example that shall inspire
respect and confidence, and force from
the milli ms the promise of co-opera
tion ; whatever may betide—“ where
ihoti goest I will go.’’ Ho do we feel
here, that we cannot bear to put on a
head dress. Even the gaity of flowers
; mucks, and music has no charms.”
j W hat will this mother say, when she
shall learn that Mr. Secretary Seward
follows up what was begun by the
President, nnd gives a grand party
Tuesday evening? And what other
mothers, yea. and fathers too? What
a spectacle will that ue, to angels as
well as men—that feasting, when those
who will be participants in it know lull
well how sudden, as at the fea^t of
Belshazzar, the scene may be changed
and that the sun of to-morrow may
rise upon a people who, for the man
ner in which they shall be stricken
arc not as notoriously viip as Ellsworth
and his Zouaves we nevertheless find
the most lawless and inlan.ous regi
ments of the forty thousand now in
and near Washington, proceeding at
once to acta of violence. Why was
the worst of all the regiments of the
enemy allowed to fo in a portion of the
invading force, if pillage and insult
were not contemplated as initial steps
in the contemplated subjugation of
Virginia.
Jocxson acted wise'y when he shot dead
the ruffian who sought to disgrace and
dishonor him, altlioi gh he knew that
in doing so he offered his own life as
the sacrifice.
Let every Virginian reason and act
as Jat-kson did, and very soon the
Ellsworths of the invading army will
find that pillage and violence will not
pay.
As the thieves and outlaws of the
North have invaded Virginia, let every
shot gun, rifle, bowe knife, spear and
other deadly weapon be put in read
ness. Let every horse b • trained to
staml fire, and every farmer get his
weapon ready for ihe roost terrible
guerilla warfare which a brave people
ever carried on in defence of their
wives and their children, and their
sacred liberties. Let it be the boast
ot every citizen that he is either a
volunteer or a member of some com
pany ready for any exigence.

The true and brave soldier always
loves his flag. This will be doubly
dear to us, since it is the gift of our
friends, our mothers and our sisters.—
Because it is the last parting gift of
serving as guards the twenty-four hours
through, instead of being first anti pro
pel ly serve-1, as is the practice among
regulars, are too generally left mainly
to their chances, to get their rations
pretty much as they can catch them,
without regularity as to the hours, and
very often scanty and unsatisfactory.
These t'.ings ought not to be. Heart
is thus taken from the men, which di
minishes their value in the service, and
converts those who, at call, with en
thusiasm, espoused tne cause of the
country, into impatient waiters for tinu
to run out for which they have commit
ted themselves, in order that they may
again be free.
Another cause of complaint is, that
the lines are so invidiously drawn be
tween the officers and men. I some
time ago stated the offensive fact, ob
served upon the arrival here ot certain
worn and weary soldiers, that the offi
cers at once betook themselves to com
fortable hotel quarters and bountifully
supplicd tables, while their rank and
file were left for full five long moital
hours in barn like barracks, without
water to wash or drink, food to eat,
fires by which to warm at night, noth
ing except dirty floors to sit on, or lie
down on. And to-day officers are
luxuriously quartered, and fating sump-
turously, while their men are ill far-off
attic shanties, deserted and unfurnished
buildings or tents, and fed from pan or
cup, upon the (to them) unusual fare,
after the unsatisfactory manner hereto
fore stated.
But toojmany seem lo regard this as
1 The butchery of Jackson, the first
patriot mart) r of Virginia, reveals the
true objects and designs of the Vandals
who hove invaded our soil. The lead
er of the thieves and burglars of New
Yi rk, when he violated the house of a
respectable and quiet citizen of Vir
ginia, was merely initiating a campaign
which is designed to be the most law
less anti brutal of modern times. The
wretch fell, it is true, by a hand as
biave and fearless as that which smote
the gigantic Gaul, who dared to touch
ihe beard ol the Roman Senator,in the
Senate Chamber; but while the in
cident immortalized a hero, and ended
the existence of a ruffi an, it also teaches
a most impressive lesson.
The invasion ot X’irginia is to be
controlled by the Ell worths, the ruf
fians, the thieves, the vagabonds of the
No: I hem armies. Ape I. to commence
this unholy and infernal war, so are
they to direct and control it! The
educated officer, and the honest fanatic
may plan the campaign, but they will
not be able to controi the lawless
wretches of whom Ellsworth is a type.
The violation of Jackson’s house
shows thj cloven hoof of the invader.
It will be idle hereafter for the Reach-
erous, canting hypocrites of the Sew
ard school to talk about “repossession
of the torts, dock yards,and arsenals,’’
as the objects and ends of the war.—
It will be equally idle for the enemy,
by “proclamation and general orders,”
to attempt to lull into a sense of false
security the people of Virginia, by pra
ting about iheir sacred respect for
“private property’’ and the protection
of the “unarmed citizens.”
Although five thousand soldiers, oa
Thursday night, invaded Virginia, un-
The Killing of Ellsworth.
A gentleman who arrived in Rich
mond on Saturday, furnishes the Rich
mond Dispatch with the toilowing par
ticulars :
Ellsworth ascended to tbe roof of
the Marshall House anti secured the
flag. Coming down with the flag
wrapped around him, he met Mr. Jack
son, when Ellsworth remarked, “Here
1 have got a prize.’! Jackson r- plied
Yes, and here is anoth prize”—at the
same time levelling his ddouble barrel
shot gun, and shooting Ellsworth dead
on the spot.
Jackson was speedily murdered by
the Zouaves. The sho' that killed hiin
pierce-J his brain.
Mrs. Jac-kson and her sister, as we
are informed, took possession of the
flag, drew revolvers, and defied the
Zouaves, who endeavord to take it
trom them. The lathes tore the flag
into shreds, determined that it should
not pass into the hands of Lincoln's
ruffians.
Connected with this affair, we may
publish the following copy of a card,
which Mr. Jackson had circulated to
advertise his business. It shows the
spirit of the man :

A Brave Boy.—A correspondent of
the Petersburg Express, giving an ac
count of the engagement at Sewell’s
Point, says:
The coolness and bravery of a young
Georgian,about seventeen years of age,a
member of the Columbus Light Guards,
ought not to be passed over in silence.
Something needing attentidfcit the
muzzle of one of the guns, then in po
sition pointing through the embrasures,
the little fellow, with the coolness nntl
deliberation of a venteran, in the face
of the shots and shell being poured
upon the battery, walked out upon the
giro, put in order what was wrong, and
returned as coolly and deliberately as
he went out. I regret being unable to
record the name of one bo brave.
A Compliment—The New York
Sun of the 20th says:
“An ingenious rebel has invented a
new five shooter at Portsmouth, Va. It
is simplified so that a single chamber,
or the entire five barrels, may be dis
charged simultaneously.”
For the further enlightenment of our
once esteemed cotemporary—lor the
Sun was once the head and front of
liberal principles—we may add that
this self-same “ingenious rebel” is now
completing a nine-barreled rifle pistol,
which can be discharged upon the same
principle as theflve-sbooter. Its range
is considerably superior to that of the
ordmary army musket. Mark this,
