All persons enlisted by his Majesty on earth, are hereby appointed his special agents, because of their loyalty and strict obedience to Lis orders, and lie congratu lates you on yoursuccess iu bringing suf fering and destitution on liis enemies. For he has the most undoubted evidence of your zeal in his cause —by the large num ber of poor careworn women, and ragged children, aud the thousand female, appli cants for work at Davis’ clothing bereau ; and his-satauic Majesty hopes you will still show your loyalty by a continued obel dience to his orders. .If. Buy all you call, as low as possible, anil soil it for all the necessities of the peo ple will compel them to give, and make them believe there is no more in the world only what you have on hand, for you know a lie well,stuck to, is as good as the truth. 111. Be very careful not to give full weight, or measure, aud if you have any 1 tainted meat, or other damaged article on hand, let the poor have that at a reduced price—say one cent, in the pound cheap er than a good article, for you know it won’t do for the poor to live well in this world—- as they'have a kingdom promised them hv ••afmv-... , . - x . /. IF. If you have a contract-for wemen’s work, be sure you don’t allow them to earn more than one pound of beef iu a day, or a pound of bacon in three days, and by this means you will soon get rich from govern ment contracts, while the poor fool women have no better sense than to work out a fortune for you. V. If a poor woman comes to you-for as sistance or work —be sure to insult her if you can. Make all the Proselytes, and Prostitutes you can —as females once en listed make the best of recruiting agents for you master’s service. YL You who are engaged in the liquor traffic are injuring the cause of your mas ■ ter by selling too high-, you - should sell it cheaper than anything else, as it is one of His Majesty’s best recruiting Agents, and causes them to report much earlier, and'more promptly at these headquarters. VII. .Depreciate the murrbpoy all you can by every groundless excuse, and be sure you get it all ,if possible and bring it with you to these headquarters. VriL. Go to churcli often, wear very long faees —and don’t forget to wear the livery of Ifeaven—which you stole to serve the Devil in. £-,()bey these orders and you shall be rich, and live well at no other cost than that of your immortal soul, which will be required of you when your term of ser vice expires. Bouthcru papers copy as before. Beelzebub. a Dixie,” the Richmond correspondent of the Atlanta Appeal, ventilates another recognition rumor. He says that Mr. Mc- Rae, of North Carolina, who lias just arri ved in Richmond, via Bermuda and Wil mington, from Paris, brings intelligence of a final arrangement which has been made by the Emperor of the French for the res cognition of tire Confederate States and the termination of the war. This is, iu sub stance, the policy foreshadowed with so much distinctness in the famous pamphlet of M. Michel Chevalier, butwc have been so often humbugged by similar rumors that we place no reliance upon it. It is said that Rothschild possesses a million millions of franps, but that, compar ed witlj others, he is poor, at least, so it pleases the good people of state, for they have just lieaul that there exests in India a naboUavo- thfa trillion, which, represent ed in fibres, would do 1,000,000,000,000. To count this sum, coin by coin, the coin being a franc, at the rate ol two hundred ‘ a minute, aud working twelve hours a day, it would occupy nineteen !k v tud three hundred and nineteen days. •oath of a Young Woman on the Bat tle-field of Chickamauga. The case of a young woman in Willough by street lias brought to our mind the sto ry of the unfortunate -Maid of New Or leans, who was “ burnt by wicked Bedford soy a witch.” It well illustrates the sob monie proverb that li there is nothing new under the sun.” The superstitious of the dliys of Joan of Are still fiourshed iu e.ur enlightened and renowned city. It may sadden us that tliis should be so; yet sen timent is not so much the business of a 'm - vplist as to record the things that oc ■* Tm every. *L.yJih. About a twelve-month since, when dis aster everywhere overtook the Union arms, and our gallant sons were falling fast un der that marvelous sword of rebellion, o young lady, scarce nineteen, just from aq academy in a sister State, conceived tho idea that she was destined by Providence, to lead our arms to victory, and our nation through successful war. It was at first thought by her parents, a highly respecta ble family in Willoughby street, that her mind was weakened simply by leading ac counts of continued reverses to our arms, and they treated her as they would a sick child. This ouly had the effect of making her more demonstrative, and her enthusi astic declaration and 'apparent sincerity gave the family great anxiety. Dr. B. was consulted, the- minister was spoken to, friends advised, family meetings held, in terview's with the young lady by her form er companions in the academy were frequent, but nothing could shake the feeling which had possessed her. It was finally resolved to take her to Michigan. An old maiden aunt accornpa - nied the fair enthusiast, and for a few weeks Ann Arbor became their home. The stern command of her aurit alone prevented her from making her wav to Washington to so licit an interview with the President for the purpose of getting command of the ; United. States army. Finally if was found necessary to restrain her from seeing any but her own lUmilv, and her private par lur became !,<■-r jO'Ai, To a high spirited girl this would he unendurable at any title, but to a young lady filled with such a hallucination it w T as worse than death. Bhe resolved to elude her friends, aud succeeded, leaving them clandestinely, and although the most dis tinguished detectives of the East and the West were employed to find her wherea bouts, it was unavailing. None could even conjecture the hiding place. This was last April. Bhe was mourned as lost. The habiliments of mourning were donned by her grief stricken parents, aud a suicide’s grave was assumed to be hers. But it was not so. The infatuated girl, finding no sympathy with her friends, resolved to cn- , ter the army disguised as a drummer boy, dreaming, poor girl, that her destiny would be worked but by such a mode. She joined the drum corps of a Michigan regiment at Detroit, her sex known only to herself, and I succeeded in getting with her regimegt at j the army of the Cumberland. How the poor girl survived flic hardships of the : Kentucky campaign, where strong men fell tn numbers, must forever remain a mys tery. The regiment to which she was attached bad a place in the division of the gallant Van C'lcve, and during the bloody battle of last Sunday the fair girl fell, pierced in the left side by a mitinie ball, and when borne to the surgeon’s tent her sex was discover ed. She was told by the surgeon that Iter wound was mortal, and advised to give her name that her family might be infrwtu cd of *lier fate. This she finally, though reluctantly, consented to do, and the Colo nel of tho regiment, although suffering him self from a painful wound, became interest ed in her behalf, and prevailed upon her to let him scud a dispatch to her father. This she directed in the following manner: yi r ._ f N , Willoughby streets, Brooklyn: Forgive your dying daughter. 1 have blit a few moments to live. My na tive soil drinks my blood. I expected t deliver mv country, but. tho fates w0,.- not have it so. I am content to die. Pray, pa, forgive me. Tell mu to kiss my daguerreotype. * Emily. P. S. —Give my old watch to little Eph. (The youngest brother of the dying girl.) \\c are permitted by the afflicted parents to give the. dispatch as it came over the wires, suppressing only the family mime. Hero, ilien, is a short incident of war which might read like roulance. But lo -the Unhappy family who are now bowed down with grief romance loses its attrac tion—and the actual, sad, eventful histo ry of poor Emily will be a taniily record for the generation yet to come. . » Tribute to Woman’s Power. A California State Senator, in upon some bill, affecting the property o*r business of women, paid them the following compliment: 0 “ f >ovb woman; I have loved her all my life—through boyhood, man hood and mature years. I expect to love her all my life,and dying to be found faith ful to the same high and inspiring senti ment; for amid all the varied scenes, temptations, struggles and hopes of exist ence, hne star, brighter than ours, has light ed and guided me omvards. If I had any high and noble ambition, the. executing en ergy b.r been 0. the approving snfiUus com ing from the eye of woman, Gentle in her affection, yet mighty through lier influence, her medium of yule is as powerful as the ballot-box. She has ruled mo from my boyhood with the sol't and winning influ ence of her virtues and her beauty. I re member my iirst love—my baby affections of four years of age—X have been in love nearly every month of my life since; save the dark and ray Jess days and years winch succeeded the desolated hearth, and made the heart, too, desolate. And never, sir, while I remember my mother—long since in her grave —I. remember the night she died—never, while I hold in my memory one other, and her memory is all that is left me, shall [ refuse to give my voice, my vote, for any measure necessary to protect and cherish the weaker and better part of creation against the oppression, neglect aud abuse of my sex.” Brownlow is again in the field with an other letter. The bitterness of this old renegade appears to.increase with his age. In a recent manifesto lie remarks thus: The meditation i advocate is that of the cannon and the sword ; and let there be no armistice, on sea or land, until all the. reb els, front and rear, North and South, are subjugated or exterminated. And then let condign punishment be speedily moot ed out to the surviving leaders of this un holy crusade against civilization. My mot to is... G r.cpji lire. for the leaders. And none but the' loyal should be consulted in the great casting up of these accounts. A lady friend suggests the propriety of withdrawing at legst 100,000 men from the field, and recruiting in their place the same number of women. Tilt, following are her reasons : , 1. The inequality in the sexes is becom ing truly alarmiing. 2. The fact that women can scratch their way .in and out of a fight better than men. 3. There are some masculine old women at home, who are satisfied, in their own minds, that if permitted to manage things, t hey would compel the Yankees to present anas in a very short time. While Richmond papers are plied with complaints of “ hard times ” and difficul ties attending the provision markets, the Biclimoiid theatres arc filled nightly at §3 a seat, or over, and as usual in connection with these schools of morality, the bar rooms do a brisk business near the thea tres. The number of figsby dressed and idle persons walking along the streets of Rich mond and other cities, would not suggest to a stranger any notiop of high prices. It is rumored that (ion. G T. Anderson, of Georgia, was appointed a Major Gener al during the President’s late visit to the army of Tennessee. Gen. Anderson is a brave and efficient officer, and belonged to the United States Regular Army before the war. He is known among his men by the soubriquet of “ GUI i'igc.” Richmond Whig. Simkins says that Lincoln may be a fool in some sense of the word, but he has a good understanding nevertheless, as his foot measures fourteen inches. This would also imply that 110 has a good “ sole,” in spite of the many wrong and* wicked “ steps ” he lias taken. What would the Confederate notes of Sixty have said prior to the act of the Leg islature of Virginia, de'claring them good for taxes, could they have spoken ?
