The Daily Dispatch: January 7, 1862., [Electronic resource], Patriotic Southern ladies (search)
Patriotic Southern ladies --A correspondent of the Petersburg Express, Writing from Clarksville, Va., January 1st, says: There lives in the lower and of Mecklenburg county, Va., two sisters and one brother. Some time in June last the brother volunteered in the noble defence of the South. The sisters said go, and we will do the best we can; and what they have done is not to be beaten. They have clothed their brother, gathered the crop and taken care of it; wove about one hundred yards of cloth for the soldiers, and made about forty garments for them, besides taking care of and feeding all the stock. Such patriotism can never be overrun by the Yankee vandals, let them come as they may. I withhold the names, but it is certainly true.

Sermen by Rev. Dr. Cheever on the Masen and Sildell Affair.[From the New York Herald, Jan. 1.] The reverend Doctor delivered a sermen, or rather harangue — for, from the applause which greeted him during its delivery, we fancied ourselves at a political meeting in Tammany Hall rather than an edifice supposed to be dedicated to God--at the Church of the Puritans, Union square, in the presence of a large congregation, on Sunday evening last. He chose this text from the Second Book of Samuel, twenty-third chapter and third verse. "He that ruleth or sermen must be just ruling in the fear of God." And from the Prophecy of Mica, sixth chapter and eighth verse: "He bath showed thee, Oh man, what is good, and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" The reverend gentleman said that justices was an attribute of God most clearly reflected in the ordaining of goverment; that it was most important in all its tra

re, that the Cherokees should be delighted to have an opportunity of fighting against their persecutors. Freak of nature. --Col. John McKee, of this county, sent to our office last week a rare natural curiosity, which shows how fantastically nature disports at times, and departs from what is considered uniform laws. Col. McKee slaughtered a hog, the two fore legs of which had four well-developed feet, or twice the usual number. The extra feet were attached on the outside forming two angles of a square, and connected with the superiors about one and a half inches above the hoof, appearing as if the animal was preparing to side foremost as well as in the direction which the snout indicated--Iredell (N. C.) Express, 9th. Movements of British troops. Eastport, Jan. 1. --A British transport screw steamer, from Halifax, passed here at half-past 7 this morning, with 600 of the 62d regiment--400 to remain at St. Andrews, and 200 to proceed to Woodstock per railroad.

The Sinking cause of Jeff. Davis and his Southern Confederacy. [From the New York Herald, Jan. 1.] The independent Cotton Confederacy of Jeff. Davis has seen its best days. Under the increasing pressure of our fleets and armies, it is reduced to the condition of a city invested by an overwhelming force and cut off from its supplies. Growing up, as in a single night, into a luxuriant development, like Jonah's gourd, it is willing as rapidly away. From every quarter of the South, in every variety of manifestation, the facts and the evidence are daily accumulating upon our hands that nothing but the intervention of England or France can prevent this overstrained and exhausted rebellion from collapsing within Mr. Seward's limitation of ninety days, like the Great South Sea Bubble or any other audacious but shallow imposture. In the interesting statements which we published yesterday from two Union refugees who had run the gauntlet of the Davis despotism from Texas to Indiana
