By the way, since we have thrown off our connection with Uncle Sam, and have become the Confederate States, we may call ourselves the children of Cousin Sally. I propose as a philosophical query whether, in view of the family alliance indicated in the word “Cousin,” we are to regard Uncle Sam as a foreign relation?
SIGMA.

“We must have a pet name for the Confederate States. Uncle Sam is turned over to the Yankees as an inveterate old curmudgeon. Let us make Cousin Sally our watchword and rallying cry. The thought would be in harmony with the chivalrous gallantry that should mark the character of the sons of the South. Who would not fight for Cousin Sally?”

The Mobile Tribune proposes “Cousin Sally” as a pet name for the Confederate States. The name is rather effeminate, but then her male fire-eating cousins could very appropriately be called Sally-manders.
