A CARD.
IN view of the certain increas of the army by an exten
sion of the Conscription act 90 as to include men be
tween 35 and 45 years of age. the undersigned has resolved
to raise a volunteer infantry company, conditional upon
the extension of the Conscript act. If this act should not
go into effect, persons joining this company arc thereby re
leased from it. It is not impossible that a bill will pass
Congress immediately enrolling all men liable to military
duty. Should this bill pass, it would be too late to volun
teer, and all men b-tweeti the ages of 85 and 45 years ol
age become conscripts. It will, therefore, be a measure oi
prudence, on the part of persons liable to conscription, at
once to become conditional members of a volunteer com
pany.
The Lieutenants of this company will be thorough officers
—one of them having served as surgeon of the Home Light
Jluards in the Sth Ga. Regiment. No man will be received
the eompauy who is of known immoral or low habits.
y s Mature will commend it to men of character who de
*re to avoid unpleasant associations In camp. Middle
*KeJ men,our time has come! Our country calls —shall
refuse to listen ? Our boys have done their duty nobly.
Let us, their fathers, now do ours. This winter is to wit

A at HI 3 EARLY LIFE AND ASSOCIA
TIONS.
‘ The Wretch * * *
Luring aiiaU forfeit fair renown,
Doubly dying shall go down
UvhiH vile dust from whence he sprung.”
Ediior Mi3sissippian :—An object of
so rnuci abbefrence to the Southern people
as the tt.au or ihe tiDiiiial now tlisgi’aoiui? the
Presidency of the North, must excite some
desire learn whence and how he came in
to pubic life, who and what he is. If the
'eeliDg prevalent in some minds be sdmitted,
that he is an instrument in the hands ol God
to lead to destruction the people of the
North, to blast and blight the national pros
perity of that section, and lead to their le
gitimate termination the wicked sophistries
of that people, a glance at his linage and ex
traction, his early associations, and the iu
fluence that controlled his more mature
thoughts, and gave shape and tone to his
ideas, will convince us that he is a most fit
and appropriate instrument for tha exposi
tion and administration of the besotted, vul
gar and fiendish views of the Yankee bigots
whose suffrage made him their chief magis
trate,
It will be well, too, in view of the fact,
often mentioned as a singular coincidence,
that our own high-iuiuded and distinguished
President came from the same county, al
most from the same neighborhood, asUu
,eoln, that we become familiar with the early
-‘flfeory of Mr. Lincoln that we may appre
ciate the circumstances which made the two
men so dissimilar in every element of pri
vate and public life.
Abe Lincoln was borne not more that 30
miles from Bowling Green, Ky., in what is
known as the ‘‘Green river country of Ken
tucky/’ Every Kentuckian knows the state
of society which existed 25 years ago, and
which, to a certain extent now exists, iu the
“Green River country” of Kentucky. Two
distinct classes mark the social status of that
portion }f the derk and bloody ground.—
These classes are, those who owning negroes,
generally small planters, educate their chil
dren and preserve and cultivate all the ele
gancies and amenities of private life, who
desire aim cultivate the good opinion of their
neighbors, and woo, as a consequeuco, man
ufacture ni control the healthy conserva
tive public opiniou of their country; and
; those having no negroes, who live in idle-
Ui**'-. vr i uis ipsttcja, fcteol their neighbors'
chickens, shoot their neighbors’ hogs in the
i woods, bestraddle logs and play cards on
: .Sunday, and who, not working and having
| no property, liye either by their wits, or the
I astute but not very honest manipulations, of
! the “light-fingered gentrywho, in a word,
I lie Bnd steal for a living ; and not having,
I never having had, and never expecting to
; have, negroes, most cordially hate those, and
j everything connected with those who have
[them. They are abolitionists per «e. They
| lire abolitionists for no other earthly reason
j but because they hate the refined and re
j ipectable who own slaves—despairing of ev
; er having slaves, and therefore of the refine
! meet and respectability to which that owner
; ship is incident. Their vagabond, vicions,
i and idle habits precluding the possibility of
; ever saving money enough to buy slaves,
they instinctively hate the institution as
cordially as the .Jew hated the Gentile.—
Tree this latter clans, from its very heart’s
core, sprung Abraham Lincoln; from the
former clasr, and from amongst its very best
Emilies, hails Jefferson Davis.
“ Look upon this picturf, ami cn this.”
But we wish to speak of the Lincoln farn
i ily of Kentucky. Now, while we give Mr.
Lincolns credit for elevating himself above
the stercoracecus ma f -2 of pater fumiUias, it
will be readily seen tLat. all his recent acts
as President of the United States savor of
the domicil whence he sprung, and herein is
our reason for drawing aside the family cur
tain ; it is right and proper that the people
of the State of Mississippi should know the
origin of the man who has put a premium
upon murder and rapine, and promises the
assistance of the United States force to the
slaves who rise in insurrection against their
unoffending owners, and who has made him-
Wtf most loathsome to the people of the
Southern Confederacy.
The Lincoln family of Kentucky is one
of the lowest and most disrespectable in that
’State. Abraham is one of the four brothers
who lived with their father, and “ a woman
claiming to bo the wife of old man Lincoln
a. aAc mother of the boys.” They had no
farm, do stock, nor property of any kind
save the house in which they lived and sup
ported themselves by levying black-mail of
the property of their neighbors. So disre
putable had they become, and so annoying
were their “raids” upon their neighbor’s
stock yards, cribs, gardens, &c., that they
were notified to quit the country, agreeable
to which the family moved to the more con
genial soil of Indiana. A short time prior
to the removal Abe (then but a little lad)
shipped as a “hand” on one of the flat buats
navigating Green river and the Ohio, into
which it falls, c.r. l the Mississippi, und tra
ding chiefly -n i.uy and hoop poles.
When ..he craft arrived at Vicksburg the
owner sold ut ids stock of hay and hoop
j cits, dismissing his “hands,” who taking
passage in an up river boat were in due time
lauded at the delectable town of Cairo.—
I Here left the river and sought the in
in ttrior of the State of I Him is. He had
never been to school a day in his life, his
conversation was om!y rude, but partak
! ing strongly of the parental and fraternal
bias us protaaity and vulgarity, his person
was uncouth and forbidding, and tus morals,
(Uod save the mark !) were “deceitful above
ail ihiDgs,. and desperately wicked ” But
he was trora Kentucky, and to be from Ken
tucky then Was a distinguished honor, for
Kentucky’s name was a synonym for chival
ry and high-toned honor and patriotism
Alas !
“ Hovsr are the mighty fallen ! 1
and although he could uot claim any inter
est in that (once) gallant State's reputation,
yet a portion of hri native State went with
him and the “suckers’ who had commenced
to hew themselves out a living from the for
ests of Illinois, gave “ Abe” employment at
the only honest business he was ht for,
namely, “mauling rails,” for which he was
to receive fifteen dollars per month. He
spent the wiuter iu the woods on the edge
ol a prarie, uot a thousand miles from Spring
field, saving his wages, and iu the following
spring went up to Indiana to see his father
and brothers
Returning to Illinois he found one of the
boxes of an election precinct had been estab
lished near the “clearing” where he had
been at work during the winter, and with a
con amort penchant established a “grocery”
or “droggery” at the point where the ballots
of the suckers were to be deposited. Here
was the coiuer-stoue of his popularity ami
luture success. Here he learned, while deal
ing out the vile drug most happily yclept
“bust head” to the sturdy Suckers, that in
exhaustible store of anecdote which “with
his elbows on his knees, and his head in his
hands, and his feet on the topmost round of
his chair,” he still deals out to the bored
visitauts of tho White House. A grocery
keeper on a remote clearing in the back
woods of Illinois ! How the disgusting re
alities of such a life rise up before the mind’s
cyo i With what ease could Lincoln, cradled
in infamy aud vice, glide into the impure,
the loathsome and devilish associations of
such a life ! Here was tho school house of
the future President of the United States,
this the vestibule of that Temple whose god
is the Devil, whose doctriue was hypocrisy
aud lust, a doctriuo that has culminated in
the proclamation of the Ist of January,
1863, invitiug servile insurrection with its
; train of unmentionable calamities and dark
! and damnable deeds, and which will at last
lead its votary to the fate of a Robespierre,
a Marat, or a John Brown.
Young Abraham’s grocery became the fa
vorite resort of the disipated and rowdyish
suckers, uiid many a iislieuff and set-to was
had before and behind Abe’s bar. The Jus
tice of the Peace for tho beat of tho county
of had reason to thank Abe’s “villain
ous compound” for sundry fees, the product
of pretty assault and batterry cases, etc.,
ete., brought for ad justification before his
Honor, and tho enterprising young lawyer
from the wooden nutmeg State settled down
with his books and parchment to practice
his profession (!) in one of the corners of
jVbc’s caravansary. Abe took him in with
aa eye to business; while the lawyer was
away attending to court, Abe, who had
learned to read, conned over the \ T ankee’s
limited libary, and being gifted with the
brass and impudence incident to his life, and
being withal a shrewd, coarse witied fellow,
soon made ail baekwoodsdom believe that
he knew as much law as any member of the
bar of Illinois, certainly as much as Tom
Corwin or Steve Douglas, both of whom bad
just been admitted to the bar, and both of
whom sprang from obscurity and poverty. —
So Abe was admitted to the bar. He next
offered himself a? a candidate for the Legis
lature. The patrons ol his bar, bis old
friends who Lad so often with him
“Tippled o’er the bailey brae”
elected him to the House of Representatives,
and here his effrontery and boldness, but
particularly his ardent abolitionism, which
had grown with his growth, and strengthen
ed with his strength, gave him force and
character with the leading Abolitionists iu
Illinois. After the adjournment of the Leg
islature. Abe went in search aof wife. At
the agricultural fair at Paris, Ky., he saw
Miss Lizzie Todd. Lizzie Todd, now
Mrs. Lincoln, was not of the Todd family
proper of Kentucky. Hers, however, is a
collateral branch of that family, but neither
in material nor intellectual wealth a fair rep
resentative of that highly respectable fami
ly. The Todds were plain people, with no
pretentions above mediocrity, cither in purse
or pineal gland, else Abe Lincoln would not
h&vc dared address Miss Lizzie. But plain
as was Mr. Todd’s family he had pride en
ough to feel his superiority to. that of Lin
coln. He knew the Lincoln family, knew
its orign, its antecedents, its penchant for
scurrilous and low missions, knew, like
Beliol’s.
“Its thoughts were low, to rice industrious,”
and therefore he no sooner learned that a
scion of that family sought an allience with
his own than be forbid Abe bis house and
his daughter’s socieiy.
“Lizzie,” said old man Todd, with mourn,
ful determinatian and pathos, “Lizzie, I
would rather see you in your grave than the
wife of Lincoln !” Abe returned to Illinois
and surreptitiously corresponded with Miss
Todd. Time glided on, so did the abolition
element iu the West, strengthened as it was
by daily importations from frantic New Eng
land. A vacancy cc-cured iu the Congres
sional delegation from Illinois. Abe offer
ed himself as a candidate on the abolition
basis and was elected. Asa member of
Congress, he again sought the hand of Miss
Todd, and this time was successful. But old
Todd gave his content reluctantly, regretting
the ueios of his daughter with a Lincoln!
