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.

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!
