the army himself, and no son in it to rep resent him, complaining of other people being out. He ought to shoulder his gun and “ pitch in.” We don't like to see people professing to be good Southern men charging big prices for the necessaries of life, in view of the fact that their high charges tend to subju gation. It is thought that all such carry their patriotism in the pocket-book. We don't like to see people no better than they ought to be presuming cn their blood nr family connections. It is the best evi dence in the world that there’s “ something rotten in Denmark.,” and their pedigrees won’t stand tracing. (We uever boast of such things ourself, but the world is invi ted to investigate.) We don't like to see people hiding their „ Tax in Kind, and lying and cheating and defrauding the Government when they give in their taxes. An honest man is the no blest work of God. We don't like to sec a man arrogatiug to himself too much aelf-eonsequenee and dic tatorial power. He must be taken down. W r e don’t like to see people meddling with gentlemen’s private affairs. The manners only becomes the bogs of Jarmany” and Yankeedom. We don’t like to see men of big estates scrambling after all they can got from the suffering people for what they have to sell. It is a puor way to whip Lincoln and save their fortunes. We don't like to see wounded Soldiers treated as if no one cared a straw about their losing an arm or a leg, or getting a ball for their country. It is poor encour agement to the men in the army. We don't like to see people in these soul trying times taking advantage of people's misfortunes to make money , Houesty is the best policy. We don’t like to sec people u making out ” that they have “ nothing to spare,” just to get a price they are ashamed to ask. It is mean, and very unpatriotic. We don’t like ta see people laying the shame of their extortion to Confederate money, and at the same time scrambling worse than a dog after a bone to get it all. ]f such scamps were half as good as Con federate money, they’d have some soul. We don’t like to see hogs on two legs. Just now they are abundant, but the devil ouly has a use for them. We don't like to see people pretending to be Christians selling Jeans at §25 a yard. , ——* J Richmond, Nov. 23.—The following was received at the War Department to night : Missionary Ridge, Nov. 23.
