we bten content to bear humiliation lor ourselves and
degradation hor cur children.
But tbat is no longer left us. It is now rictory or
unconditional eubmiesion ; submissiou not to the con

party of infidel lancfici, with an army of needy and
greasy soldiers at their backs. Whostiall be able to
restrain them in their boar ot victory I When that

over, and tbo spoils ready to be divided, every outlaw
will rush io fill their ranks, every adventurer wdl rush
tj swell their legions, and they will sweep down upon
the South a3 the hosts of the Atilla upon the fertile
fields of Italy. And shaH you find ifi1 defeat that mercy
which you did not in victory ?
You may slumber new, bat you will awake to a fear

Think you that the victorious hordes, made up in

AWFUL DISASTKH. IS CHILI CATHtiDKAL IJ2
STROYED BY FIRETWO IHOVHAKJ) WOMEN
Dl'KKT TO DEATH.
An awful disaster occurred in Santiago, the capital
ol Chili, on the S.hcf December. The Immaculate
Conception was being celebrated in tha church of tbe
Jesuits. It was about 7 o'clock in the evening and the
crescent ol light (gas) that formed the pedestal lor the
Virgin Mary fired the wood nponwhick ii rested, ad
the flames sprung wildly ovor the building. There were
en thousand persons in the church. Tf e suddenoe?s ol
the fire was awful. The dense mass of women frighten
ed out of their senses, numbers fainting, and all eutao
tled by their lot g swelling dresses, rusbed as those who
knew that death was at their heels, to the one door,
which soon became cbockesl up. Fire was everywhere
Streaming along tbe wooden ceiling it flung the cm
pbene lamps hong in rows there, among the struggling
women.
In a moment the gorgeous church was a sea of flame.
Michael Aneelo's fearlul picture of bell was there but
exceeded. ileJo was all but impossible. A ILrculee-
might tave strained his strength in vaiu to pall one
from tbe eeried mass of IreLZ ed wretches who pildd
one above unother as they climbed over to reach the
ai.-, wildly fastening the grip ot death upon any one
cicapirg, in order that they mikht be draggtd ont with
them. Women seized in tbe "tmbrace ot tne flame?

fct earns of the horning were hushed id death, was hor
rible. It was the silence of the grave, unbroken by
the bitter wail or faimitg cry. Uvr two thvutand
souii bad leaped through that ordeal ot fire to the judg
ment seat of God.
The writer, referring to tbe fire, bandies the clergy ia
the meet severe manner, and eajs tbe populace ot San
tiago are fi ed with indescribable indignation at the
monstrous conduct cf tbe priests, holding them guilty
of tbe death ol all these victims, and particularly the
mountebank Ufarte, the inventor of the "Virgins'

It Prisoners of ttie ftorUi.'
It is interesting to tbe friends of Confederates in pris
on at the North, to know where the prisoners are loca
ted, and with what degree of humanity their inmates
are treated. A returned prisoner who has tried them
all writes the following Jes?ription of taeir accommoda
tions :
Fort McIIenry is si uared on a peninsula in Balti
more ci'y .harbor, exposed to the blrak winds that blows
from the Cnesape3ke tsay. It is very uncomfortable
in every way. The officers are quartered in tolerably
good buiidmgs, bat the privates of our army suffer ter

Lee's army, though not so large as it ought to be, is
ia fine plight. It is large enough, too, to send Meade
on a begging for more men. Food is yet ample, cloth
ing abundant, ehoes plentiful enough, and tne spirits of
the men all that could be wished. Whoever has the
blues, the hippo, the megrims or the hysterics, need
only go to Lee's army to be cured instantly. Ali who
have been to that army agree tbat a visit thf re is an in

With regard to General Johnston's array, we
have the following assurances from the Atlanta Con
federacy :
Every ind'eation which reaches ns from the army is
cheering. It is not so much that the troops arc com
paratively comfortable in their rude huts, ndr yet that
a single, universal sentiment of confidence exists in fa
vor ot Gen. Johnston. The chiel feature that arrests
our attention and our '-pleasure is that the troops are
re -enlisting. The noble example was set by the Ten
nesseeans. These poor exiles have held meetings among
themselves, and have resolved never to" go home except
with muskets upen their shealders. The Kentttckians
followed suit, and the whole army is now readily sub
scribing to a new term of service. With tne new
levies which shall be poured in alter the first of
Febrmry, we shall be able to meet and repel Grant's
advance in the spring. Tbe cry ia the rear will put
bis chouider to the wheel, and contribute whatever
he can t the prop r equipment of the army, especially
in the way ct blankets, there would be no more suffer
ing. We confess, frankly, that the apparent apathy of
the country bad excited some grave misgivings within
our hearts, alter the retreat from Missionary Ridge, but
tbe bercism of the soldiers restores us to a perfect faith,
and we now look upon tbe advent ot hcttilities with
sanguiue spirits. Tbere is no use micctng words about
it we must defeat the next lorwatd movement, pre
serve Georgia from iavtsion, and save the Conf deracy.
Wi:h this result, the coming elections in the North
will go against Lincoln. Another party introduced to
power, and then comes negotiation. With negotiation
comes peae. , v
gplitt of the Army.
We-present below a preamble and resolutions udopt
ed by the One Hundred and, Fifty-Fiuenh Tennessee
Regiment, Colonel M. Megevney, ia their camp at Dal:

spirit ot our aojdiers :
Whereas, the present ex'gencies of the service render it
extrei eiy precarkus to hazard its defence by the with
drawal of its old troopi fiom the army at the expiration ot

The German Hrolne-An Ixclil.tg &or-.
It W9 in the year 1832, towards the close cf Novem
ber, a slight snow, mingled witb sleet, was whirled
about by tbe wind, and pierced through every crevice
of a little roadside inn situated between Hornberg and
Rottwell, on the frontiers of the dacby of Baden.
Two travelers, driven by thg bad weather to the shel
ter of this hostelry, were forgetting their hunger and
weariness in tbe comforts of a hearty repast ot smoked
beef. TLe hissing and roaring of a large stove contrast
ed agreeably in the travelers' .ears with the loud moan
ing of the north wind without, and disposed them still
wore to the eDjoyment of the good things within.
1 he inn keeper and his wife had, for their only do
mestic, a young girl of Baden, whom they had brought
up rem childhood. Krettel, for'fuca was hernoms,
wa3 a host in fitrself ; housekeeper and maid to mis
tress,cook in the kitchen, valet-de-chambre to the stray
visitants. in the ore best room, and groom in tbs stable
tba hardy, scuve, and good humored German girl
fulfilled aili the duties usually shared by a large estab-
lithment of servants.
Ten o'clock struck, and the travelers havinar uVshed
their euppcr, drew nearer to the group which had col
lected around the stove Father Hkfiiiircb, the miois-
ter, their host, and acme neighbors who entered by
chance. Tbe conversation turned Tm the fearfo! aTti
murderous events ol which tbe ne iijhboring forest had
been the scene, and each one. had his own story to tell,
surpassing tbe rest in horror. Father IltUkirch w is
among the foremost in terriiying his audience by the
recital of diuereot adventures, oil more or If t-s tramcai.
Phe worthy la'ber bad just finished a horrible story ol
robber chef d'eeuv e iu its way. TLe scene of the le
gend was ti tle more thin a gun shot from tbe inn d j. i;
it was a tradition, unfortunately ; but an ancient gib
bet, wuich still remained on tbe identical spot, gave u
the narration an air of gloomy vetity, wbieb no on-
dared to question. 1 his place wis, in truth, made for
audible tiru-ugbcut tbe province as beiOi!, it was eaul
tt e rend &vous ot a troop of bar ditti, who held there
every mgbt. tbtiimysteriou3 meetirgs. All the gueete
wer still under the influence of the teiror which the
story of Father H. fiiirch had cms d, when one of tb-
travelers belore mentioned, cueicd to bet twodu atp
t at no one daied to set ell at that moment to the fa
tal spot, and trace witb charcoal a cros on tbe gibbet
I be vtry ide of such a ptop.-sitiou increuSid the lear
ot the company. A hmg sihnce was their only reply
Suddenly tbe young Kettrei, ws quietly spinning tr
the corne'r, rose up and accepted the bet, asking her
mis er'8 consent at tbe same time. He atd bis good
w.fe at first refused, alleging the loi.elioess of the place,
in caee of danger ; but the fearless damsel persisted, and
was at last suffered to depart.
Krettel only reqaested that tbe inn door shonkl be
left open Until her return ; and taking a piece of char
coal, to prove on the morrow that sloe hud lealy visit
ed the spot, she rapidly walked towards the giboet.
When close beside it, she Btarttd, fancying she heazd
a noise ; however, elter a mcment ot hesitation, she
stepped forwaid, ready to take flight at the leaet d m
ger. The noiue was renewed ; KVettel listened intent
ly, and the soand of a horse's loot struck up in her ear.
Her terror prevented her at Srst from seeing h ;w near
it was to her ; but tbe next moment ehe perceived that
the object of her fear was? fastened to tbe gibbet itfc-if
She took courage, darted forward, and traceeMhe cross.
At the same iubtant the report of a pistoi stowed her
that she had been noticed. By a movement swilt as
thought, she unloaded the horse, leapt on tbe saddle,
and fled like lightning. She was pursued ; but, re
doubling her tpeed, she reached the barn-yard, called
out to thtm to close the gate, and fainted away. - When
the brave girl recovered, she told her 3tcry, and was
warmly congratulated on her courage and presence of
mind. All admired the horse, which was of striking
beauty. A small leathern valise was attached to the
saddle ; but Father He Skirch would not Bofler it to be
opened, except ia tbe presence of the bu-g . master.
On tbe morrow, whica was Surday, tLe in u keeper,
his wife ard his guests, all set of! to tbe neighboring
town, where they iut n -ed, after service, to at qcaint tne
burgomaster with their last evening' adventure
Krettel, left sole guardian of the house, was advised not j
to admit any one until her master's return. Many a
girl wcu'd have trembled at being left in such a situa
tion ; but this young servant-maid, having watched tbe
party disappear,, fearlessly set about her household du
ties, singing, with a light heart and a clear voice, some
pious hymu which her kind mistress hid taught her.
Au hour had scarcely passed by, when there came a
knock a;t the outer door ; it w"as a traveler on horse
back, who asked leave to rest for a little while. Ktet
tei at first relused ; bufj on the promse ot the cavalier
thr.t he would only breakfast and depart, she agreed to
admit him. Tbe stranger wished bimself to take his
horse to the stable, and remained a long time examin
ing and admiiing the noble steed which bad arrived
the previous evening in a manner so unexpected
While breakfasting, he asked many questions about tie
inn and its owners ; inquired whoee horse had attracted
his attention so much ; and, in short, acted so success
fully that the poor girl, innocent of ail deceit, told him
her late adventure, and ended by confessiu that she
was ell alone. She felt immediately a vugue fenso of
having committed seme imprudeuce, for tbe stranger
lieiened to her with singular attention, and seemed to
take a geater interest than cuiiosity in what she was
saying.
Tbe breakfast was prolonged to its utmoet length ;
at last, after a few unimportant questions, tbe travelei
desired the servant girl to bring him a bottle of wice.
Ktettel rose to obey ; but, on reaching the cellar,
found tbat the stranger had followed ber, and, turning
round, she saw the glitter of a pistol bardie through
bis vest. Her presence of mit.d failed her cot at this
Ccilical moment. When they reached the foot of tbe
steps, she suddenly extinguished the light, and stood up
close against the wsil; the man, uttering imprecations,
advanced a few et:ps, groping h:s way. Kreael,
profntiDg by this movement, remounted the steps,
agile and noiseless, closed and firm'y bolted the door
upon the pretended traveler, and then barricaded ber
sel secure in an upper chamber, there to await her mac
ter's arrival.
Krettel bad not been many minutes ensconced io ber
retreat wben a fresh knocking retoaQded at toe ion
door, and she perceived tbere two ill-lookiDg men, wbo
asked ber wnai had become of a traveler who tad been
there a short time before. From their description ol
his appearauce, ihe young girl irumediate'y discovered
tbat the person sought for was the stranger wbom ehe
bad locked in the cellar ; nevertheless, ehe thought it
most prudent to make no admission cn the subject.
Oa her refusing their n q iest to open the door, tne two
men threateneJ to scaleAne wall. Ihe pnr girl trem
oled with fear ; ber courage was nitb d ertHg brr
for she knew they could eaa ly acccrnjiisu their p.-ject
by means jol the iron buts fix;d to the wkdows ol ua
lower s ory. In thi? perplexity K.-ettei l.ka arou- d
her, and ber eye fell upon a musket which hung from
theiwaJi, a lelic of her master's youuter daji. S e
sei d it, and oin-ing the muzaie out of the window,
cried out that she would fire on the fi.fct man who at
tempted to ascend. Toe two robbece tor mcb they
were--could to longer be djnbttd sirack dumb at the
sight of fire-arms wuere, exp c?iug no resistance, tbey
had brought no weapons, tod confoundS-d by euch iu
trepidity, went eway altering tbe most tearful menaces,
and vowing to return in greater lotce. In spite of he
terror, our heroine remained firm at her post. An hour
paeged away io this critical position. Ai lust the girl
perceived ber master and hia Iriencs cormtjg in sight,
iicoompanied by the burgomaster and some; efS.erB.
The brave Krettel lusbeu to the dour, tna he fear
