The spectacle of these exiled patriots discussing huge surloins of beef and quaffing vast goblets of ale, while their countrymen are hungering and bleeding at home, must satisfy the world that the South is not altogether that race of impulsive and hot-headed abstractionists which it is often represented. We dare say that these well-fed exiles have their trials too — just the trials which maddened the more sensitive youngsters and drove them back to their country. --No doubt the

A boy always has his head full of fighting and fair play, and it is more than you can expect of juvenile human nature to keep its eyes on a book and be amusing itself with dead languages when it sees its own house set on fire and the red blood of its own brothers and sisters staining the threshold. Sidney Smith once declared that boys ought to be put under a barrel and kept there from fourteen to twenty-one, as the only mode of keeping them out of mischief. We certainly cannot expect boys to act like men. Besides, the army is, after all, a very good school for Confederate boys.

Lee, the best Roman of the day, at the head of the Southside University, with a good many thousand promising boys under his charge, who do the Latin exercises in a style that the world has never seen since the days of Cæsar. At any rate, the parents of these returning youths should not expect from them the discretion and self-command of the grown-up Confederate men, who, having remained in their country, and given her the benefit of their counsel and advice till her affairs became unfor
