It is not for us to complain of the great loss which mankind at large must suffer from the deprivation of Yankees.Three years of self denial have enabled us to dispense with even such a luxury as their companionship. We find that, by dint of manly fortitude and abstemiousness, we can manage to exist without Harper, Beecher, Greeley, Everett, or any of their works. But how can Yankeedom give itself up in this wholesale suicide, immolate the memory of its ancestry, and slaughter that " manifest destiny" which was to appropriate the whole continent of America to the Yankee race ? The Confederacy can look with philosophical composure upon this tragical performance. We are not to be astonished at this time of day at any exhibition which Yankees may make.

fire of a city of fifty thousand souls, we are not to be amazed by any new wickedness which Yankee ingenuity can invent. Having cohabited spiritually with the Devil till their souls have become as black as the ace of spades, it is right and proper that they should adopt some process by which their bodies will approximate the complexion of their souls. Our only sympathy is with the sable medium of this national transformation. The polishing of Yankee boots, which has hitherto been their chief occupation in the free States, will now give place to the polishing of the entire Yankee nation, an achievement which no human power has yet been able to accomplish. A quarter of a century hence, the United States bids fair to be an empire of mulattoes, inheriting some improvement, perhaps, upon its abolition blood; but a sad depreciation of the African stock, which, in its lowest thraldom, was never so debased as when its "rich currents" commingle with the vile spawn of Black Republicanism.
Ingraham (search for this): article 2
feel assured that Capt. Preble by the same act saved the honor of his country and his own bones. Perhaps he dimly remembered the fate of the Hatteras. When that same ship, the St. Louis, was commanded by a hot headed South Carolinian, one Ingraham, of Kosta fame, he defied the strong naval force of Austria, and came near involving his country in a formidable war. But he was troubled with a "wildness," foreign to the character of calm and discreet commanders like Preble, and so instead of guns, he put them in. He came out of the affair, it is true, with flying colors, and so might Proble, with the risk, however, of the colors flying the wrong way. Yet such is the irrational admiration of mankind for heroic deeds, that the name of Ingraham will probably be associated with the St. Louis long after that of Preble is forgotten. The fact that the Florida had steam, and the St. Louis only sails, is mentioned by Preble as a sufficient reason for his inability to make an effectual p

was watching the Florida with extreme vigilance. His "men were wild," he says, to have a fight with her, so very "wild," that he felt compelled to withdraw the shot from the guns, lest they should incontinently pitch into her and violate the neutrality of the port. This was a very discreet proceeding on the part of the rational and law — abiding commander, the advantages of which are evident in keeping his country out of a bad scrape and himself out of a worse one. We don't know whether Moffitt has sufficiently recovered his health to resume command of the Florida, and perhaps Capt. Preble did not know. Whoever commands her, we respect the sound sense of Capt. Preble in venerating the rights of a central port. The United States has shown through the whole war such rigid regard to the rights of centrals, that it is pleasing to record another instance of their illustrious adhesion to international law. Virtue is its own reward, and it is gratifying to feel assured that Capt. Prebl
