Patriotism of the South.
--As illustrative of the feeling of determined resistance that animates all the Southern people against the base usurpations attempted by Lincoln and his unholy crew, a gentleman relates the following:‘ "A wounded soldier belonging to Captain King's company, Seventh Regiment Georgia Volunteers, is now in Richmond. He is twenty seven years old. His wife is 22. They have fourteen children, nine boys and five girls, eleven of whom are now at school. His wife gave birth to twins six times. who are all alive. All the sickness of the whole family since his marriage would not exceed the sick ness of one person there days. His parents raised twenty- seven children, six boys and twenty-one girls. He is six feet and one inch high, and weighs one hundred and eighty pounds; is a healthy, raw-boned man, and is the smallest of the six brothers. He is a farmer."
’ When patriotism leads a man to leave so large a family of small children as this, what must be the causes that influence a man to go to war, and what enemy on earth can conquer such a people? The soldier spoken of above has now a brother at Manassas, who weighs two hundred and fourteen pounds, and wields a bowie-knife weighing six pounds.
