Stoneman (search for this): article 1
ich were once a terror, have fallen into almost equal contempt with friends and foes, and now the horses, with which Yankees are much less familiar than with gunboats, are expected to take the place as an element of Yankee power of the defunct monstrosities. We are not disposed to underrate the potency of this last instrument of mischief; but to be forewarned is to be forearmed. The Yankees are always good enough to announce their amiable intentions to us in advance, as on the occasion of Stoneman's raid, and they now say a hundred thousand cavalry will be added to their army in six months. We may as well believe them, and prepare for the result. A comparatively small force of infantry, availing itself of the natural difficulties of the country, can keep back a large force of cavalry; but, for this purpose, the whole population of able bodied exempts should organize, and peremptory measures be everywhere adopted for any sudden emergency that may arise. Our military leaders might be

would "get along in the world." There is hardly anybody in this world — and impossible that there is any one in any other either above or beneath it — who will deny the truth of Beecher's portrait of his own people. It brings to mind a celebrated trial of skill at the World's Fair in London a few years since. Hobbs, the Yankee lock manufacturer, went to the fair and challenged the world on locks. A famous London mechanic unwittingly took him up. We forget his name. It may have been Brown, or Johnson, or Smith — he was certainly a locksmith. He presented his lock in comparison with Hobbs's. How was the question of relative merit between the locks to be settled? Hobbs said "easy enough."--"I'll undertake to pick your lock and you undertake to pick mine. If I pick yours, and you can't pick mine, of course mine is the best, and vice versa." The Englishman was green enough to accept the terms — he was not posted on Yankee cuteness and skill! The result was inevitable. The E

Henry Ward Beecher (search for this): article 2
A Feature of Yankee Excellence. Henry Ward Beecher some time since, in one of his speeches, took notice of a scheme that had been mooted for the restoration of the Union minus the New England States. He ridiculed the proposition as preposterous, as utterly impossible. There was not such thing as keeping them "cut in the cothe world."

But the Englishman could not escape the consequence Hobbs's lock triumphed, and the Yankees boasted immensely.

New England (United States) (search for this): article 2
A Feature of Yankee Excellence. Henry Ward Beecher some time since, in one of his speeches, took notice of a scheme that had been mooted for the restoration of the Union minus the New England States. He ridiculed the proposition as preposterous, as utterly impossible. There was not such thing as keeping them "cut in the cold"--they could not be kept out. The Yankees, he said, were too inquisitive, too prying, too permeating, to be kept out from any place they wanted to go. They were the pick locks among the nations, and no fastening was proof against them or could keep them out! This picture, drawn by a Yankee of his own people, is not only true, but one of which they are rather proud. From early times the most interesting traditions of Yankee households — the pleasant conversations "to hum"--are the reminiscences of Yankee pedlars among the people of the South, showing how the poor, simple Southerners were robbed and swindled before their very eyes, and defrauded out of
James (search for this): article 3
The elegant and Comfortable for Yankee envy. We gave some pictures of Southern homes from a Yankee letter writer in our paper of yesterday — of the homes that the Yankees are revelling in and desolating. The reader will remember that one of the extracts spoke of "the princely mansion of Mr. James, with its colonnades and cupola," visible from the place from which he wrote, on the bank of the Mississippi. Such a mansion could not long survive Yankee envy and malignity when once in Yankee power. We now learn that since the date of the letter from which we made the extracts that splendid private dwelling has been destroyed — reduced to a heap of ashes — by the hands of the enemy. Worse than this, the generous owner and his wife have been taken prisoners and marched to the place of their inceration with manacles upon their arms! There they are confined in separate apartments, and no doubt treated with a brutality in keeping with the general conduct of the inhuman foe. What has <
Alabama (Alabama, United States) (search for this): article 5
Organizing at home. The people of Alabama and Georgia are organizing themselves into companies with the view of presenting some obstacle to Yankee raids should they occur. It is easy for a body of cavalry to pass through a country where there are neither soldiers nor armed local guards to present some obstacle in their way. If those who are not in the field are enrolled, officered and armed, even with shot guns, they could be promptly called out, and would in many cases afford efficient protection, and prevent the destruction of a great deal of property. The example of Georgians and Alabamians deserves to be followed elsewhere.
