RUINATION OF SOUTHERN PLANTERS.
The Washington Republican says that a state
ment has recently been going the rounds of the
press, that "a majority of the sugar planters of
Louisiana are Union men at heart." We have
never heard before that these gentlemen bad
"hearts,"any and are still Somewhat incredu
lous as to the fact We kn6w, however., that
they had pockets, and. have doubted that suffi
cient pinching in that quarter itvould,4incline
them once more to "keep step to the music of
the Union." No class of men in this country
has been more pampered. by nationallegadation,
and it was in truth principally because they had
waxed fat under good treatment, that they
kicked against. their . benefactors. They are
now gettinglean.againi, aryl If;they, ifick atall
it Is without vigor. It
_mayftven be true that
a majority of, them are now "Union men." If
not, they soon wil t , be.
Sugar, which liesin hogsheads for miles on
the levees of New Orleans, is quoted at from
one and a half to two and a half cents per
pound, and this in the same currency in which
the planters:pay one:dollar per bushel forlndi
an corn, and forty-five dollars per barrel-tor
mess pork.
The.prople in Swamis. are divided into blacks,
who never use sugar, and whites, very, few : of
whom have now-antmonerviherewith to pay
for sugar. Nor do the triitibleit of tile singer

fleshpots of the Old Union.
What is, true of the sugar planters, is true of
the entire agricultural interest of the south.
Cotton, in •the-small: gnantities.in which it can
be sold, t ailbSAsbutkern manufidturers, sells
for six or eight cents . per pound. Tobacco find,

The following is related of the battle of
thainesville, fought last week and gallantly
won
Col. Jackson, of the 9th Pennsylvania regi
ment, ltft his negro servant in Charge of Ms
horse while he advanced toward the enemy.
Seeing two rebels who, had discharged their
muskets approaching him, the boy drew his
carbine and threatened to shoot them if . they
did ndt surrender at once. This they did, and
marched before him to the camp.
The act of the negro was clearly a violation
of the Constitution according to the "conserva
tive" press. What right had that nigger to
have,a carbine , and threaten to shoot,
_white
rebels ? How dare be take prisoners ? We ex
pect to see the "conservative" Times and Jour
nal demand that this shooting darkey shall be
driven from our. lines for infracting the . Con
stitution. Negroes must only be allowed to
fight on the side of the rebels and shoot Union
e t : r lc i : s iigs. The country would go to eternal
if they were employed to shoot rebels.
How profound are the mysteries of flunkeyism !
—Chwago Tribune.
The Nashville Banner indulges in the follow
ing bit of irony in reference to the TenAessee
Legislature :
"The, Legislature has really agreed to ad
journ on the 28d of this month. 4s much as
this patriotic resolution gratifies rui it is duti to
candor to state that we scan e expected it. We
still think that some of the patriotic members
of that hotly must have sacrificed themselves or
been immolatedfiltreby upon the altar of their

if such there be, it would be a good idea for
some philanthropic Individual, who does not
care ifouch for his record, and expects to stay at
home the balance of his life any way, to move
a reconsideration of the vote of adjournment
or cafinot some miscellaneous lover of mankind
manage, to get up a sensation or a. little more
important busintrier, to keep our ,General As
sembly with us a while longer, and cost the
State a.few thousand dollars extra ? Our fi
nances are so flush just now that we can afford
a little margin to legislative extravagancies.
We regret to say that considerable evidence
of disloyalty to the Confederate government
has been manifested in some of the counties in
West Tennessee, since the call upon the militia
was made, one county (Carroll) having gone so
far, we learn, as positively toilefuse 30 submit
to the detail. In Wrakly county, also, (Em.
Etheridge's county,) we learn there was serious
trouble on Monday last, which led to the feax
that some difficulty would occur there ;_ but we
understand that matters were settled peaceably,
and without bloodshed, which was one. time
apprehended.
In McNair' , county—John V. Wright's—how
ever, the disaffection seems to have reached its
higtiest point, as we see from the West Tennessee
Whig, that it was found necessary to send troops
into that county to arrest some of the authori
ties ; and to send detachotents'of soldiers into
some 'ot the other counties for the same Fir
pose.—llrenton (Thrin) Stenictirret.
