And s'trangcr yet than tfiis. the crowd that never run away, lias doubled on that very list, to what it was that day. She’s got six sisters like her too, that lives tip in the East, They Ray who’d rather go to fight, than tend tho mayor’s feats, Nor did they loose a drotted man, in nil the bloody rows, And since then gathered up right smart, like dim Lane’s Kansas cow>\ We are told this fighting crowd has come, to uncle Abrams town, And swear they’ll whip our Southern boys, and everything around. Now! what will we do? our hoys arc there, and must bo menstrua sheered, To hear the bloody devils swear, they’ll have their scalps and beards. For God sake ! Mr. Editur, pleaso send ’em word for inc, And tell ’em that 1’vc heard it said, that if they’ll klime a tree, And take what little change they’ve got, and scatter round the root, They’ll gethorup the lad red cent, but nev er tldnk to shoot. 1*11 swear the plan will win the fight, and then our hoys can shout, And say they whipped the tiger band, and put the crowd to route. I’ll toll you what- thoy’ro wonderous folks, they’ve scared a many a man, And made old wiminen smoke like tar, and fried Vm in a ran.. They used to kill all old blade cats, and x catch all witches too, And tell an ’oinau used to fits, by looking in her ulioc, They skeeved our old folks once before, a burning of blue lights, And daddy Rays that that’s the time, they had these mighty lights, Besides ! they’re full of cunning tricks; they can take.au old cow’s horn, And malcn a real nutmeg sure, and also sugar corn, They can feed a hog on hickory grubs, and turn him all to Lain, hu e Chi-inti fttbulu "—what wealth ; dot's tin’s fiction of Christ filing ns. | Upon the view-ship of such efiris- I[unity 1ms tins profligate broker ol tho prestige of religion, issued his diplomas of indulgences for tho usages of iniquity and tlio ctnolu- . incut of sordid lust, thus filling the i mission of Ids destiny—a disgusting, stenciling slough of moral filth.— p j [low stupendous the depths of Ids social debasement !

Empires have risen and crum bled, and earth lias rcuiodlod her thousand noble and ignoble nation alities, and yet there arises but one lone aspirant of the apotheosis of such infamy; Horace Greely—flic And when yonv’o bought it, yon will swear, ilIcaTnaU(mo f al ] human depravity it h wood, ana not a tslimn.

Tho gals are constant jineiu’ hands with the blackest sort of darkies, And at the Xorward, I am told they have no other sparkies, * Now what a bully' race they’ll make, the Yankee mixed with nigger, A double cunning mixed with fight, and Lord, they’ll ho heap bigger, And then they’ll sweep this land at last, (he men will hook the munny, The gals in time will come along, and each will take a bunny', iSo tell our hoys they’d best come home, and give ’em what they’ve got, For they are hound to have tlie last red cent before they quit tho spot. llow at Knoxville, Tenn.— A passenger who came through this morning liotn Knoxville, reports that a collision took place there day before yesterday, between tho Lin- coinitoB and I’atrinis, in which one of the former was killed and a seces sionist wounded. Old lirownlow escaped with diffi culty and took to the woods, Andy Johnson made an appoint ment to speak at some place near Knoxville, but the people told him they would cut bis head off if ho at tempted if.

To-day, nf chrislcndom is jubilant with the ac claim of bis triumph. Purgatory lias heralded the transit of bis pro cession, and Hell lias brightened the splendor of her regalia for the coro nation of her first love. In all the dire crusades which have mantled the earth in man’s unholy passions, no spirit fiend has arisen from the seething cauldron that 1ms equaled this man. Begotten in a name (Greely alias Griley,) tho etymon of which is tho rilling vampire of (he human grave ; christened Horace, sue reproche, the infanticide—thus has lie been conformed by nature, and dedicated by the itsngo of hu man art, to the achievement of his accursed destiny—the loftiest terrace otvlinnnvn depravity mult moral tur pitude.

His paternal es cutcheon is the hail of slaughter, chnvroucd with pale, fear, hearing tho nlmtemcnls of the family’s mod ern achievements, the gallows— threoof which support tho inscrip tion of his patronym in nz.tiro of petit larceny.

Yes! New York, the boasting cm— poriunt of a Christian people, in the ltttli century, fins sanctioned this vile'profanation of civilization, and thus her volunteer companies have announced the status of her race, and the tone of her moral grandeur, with banners or “ Beauty and Booty,” “ Arson and Dry Hones." The Loves, the Graces and the laughing hours with their sister-train of Music and Poetry, have been burled from their Lyceums and Par- tbonous for tho saturnalia of their savage heroes and bloody banquets. The young rndienco of Hope, have fled at the approach of tho Gorgon form of ghastly Fear, and tho sooth- song of Henson and Truth have been strangled by the circlet of snakes from a God-defying Atheism. Wlmt potent lias worked this monster transformation ? Wlmt fiend has smitten the brightness of our land with this Cimmerian dark ness ? Bonstinglv, it is answered ! Horace Greely, of the New York Tribune, a festering vermin who has fattened on the putrid carcasses that have been miigotcil by the treachery of his friendship, the baseness of his ingratitude, the perjury ofhis trusts mid the nttrocily of his villanies. “Oinonuter! mix'd of ineolcnco nnd four, Tliou dog in forchond and in heart n dcur!
