A g-ir g of "R -c'.t nsi.c'" or hunters from I O )g Tom, Soap Creek find Cuvote, have been in tl.e habit of coming to town every Saturday for some time, for the purpose of swe.ring allegiance to Jeff Davis, and disposing of a few gallons of "Jersey lightning." Last Situiday, while on their regular visit, the old tice ot the band, an old thing w iih a head about tit- size and bliHoe of a large Dutch K'jUash, tiluck on the .boulders of a hideous looking caroais, wilb the flit end up, and hair as eurse as rye straws, all bristling on end, like jKiKiipiiie quills, concluded that he must "begin the war." So he cornered H boy oo the side-walk, informed hi:n that Le was an "abolitionis.," and that every man who supports the President of the United States is u thief. A numerous body guard of "waruick barks" surrounded the beio, to prevent liim from getting hurt, and hfer he I. ;d vented his wrjith on the terrified "abolitionist," and on the "g;itig of thieves" that support Lincoln, he wound up by hoping that the "war would soon b'gin so he could get to kill abolitionists." Another chap, w ho famishes the Cry water which makes them so brave, is reported to have said that he was in favor of commencing the war on tl.e abolition ist soon, so he wouldn't have to pay any Federal license. A few others, who are out of money and have no property, are probably in favor of the same thing, us they w ould rather Heal and plunder than work. We hope the Egyptians will postpone the "war" uutd Summer, us the valley of the Long Thomas river is not adopted to the manceuvering of large armies at this season of the year, except in canoes, which would be a very inconvenient mode of going to waw, be sides they might take cold by slushing around in the midst of a Winter cam .ign. However, it would not be strange if the great and powerful Stales of Long Turn, Snap Creek an 3 Cayote, should secede immediately, and joiu the ''Con f -derafy or set up an indejtetideiit kingdom. Jf they should go out, the United States of Ameri ca will cease to ex;st, fir the few hundred thou and "abolitionists" that the Government could send against these powerful bur fighters, would hot be a mouthful for them.

It has been generally believed that a certain secessionist, who had the old Jlyitter office f it nale, took advantage of this young man's inapt rkwt, and caused him toeinbuik in a bad busi ness, by assurii g him that wealth and fame would be hi sure reward. So he co nes out iu the above handsome in-inner, an J, denies it, by insinuating that lie merely went into the dirty business, as a temporary necessity, to make It s bread until he could get into some respecta< CjVinp.
