Arkansas true Democrat., 1861-11-21

inc receiving letters from absent husbands aud fathers of wearing red and white ribbons or dresses or having given charity to the widow or orphan Of some one who died in the southern army. Against the men no chrages are made and the only warrant upon wlIeh they gre held Is that their names are inscribei by Mr Lincoln or Mir Seward upon 8 list in tiae hands of a cou. victed murderer and burglar. The experience Of one week in Baltimore, andthe horrors inlict- ed upon the unhappy people of that ftcad c;;y, would appear to any naa used to the actions of regular government-eyen cf the greatest European daspotsm--an ezageeration, did not the papers in the service the tyrauaous fanatic, who despo,ically w;ald the government of the land themselves foreshadow the gross iniquity, and call upon the gaping and frightened crowd to fall down and worship tae bloody ideal they have set up before them
 The prime executive and minister to the ven> geance of Lincoln and Seward is tho most ab- horrent scamp, and has naugurated their reign of terror in Baltimore only as such wretch could conceive 1t. This IT n Is q pardonad con, vict. named Derrett who, after receiving sentence of death for murder and burglary, and having been known to have committed six ass8ssiaa> tions, was released from prison and made gao lar, but was dismissed for misconduct he was the captain Of @ murierous crew, called the Blood Tubs and when all he,aes. men shrank from him, employed him as the minister Of their vengeance. This rufiAn has daily interviews with the President, and returns from Washing ton with 3 fresh list of prescribed victims. Ser. rett has chosen the tools and habits of his oli trade of burglar to do the work of his employ CTS.
 The universal terror and abiect subservancy of the northern States to the dictate, of their hos hoao ara1 o,,N and 1t has therefore been deemed more prudent to make the donliciary visits in the dead of night. Barrett takes with him several escaped theves, his former ''pAIs," and accompanied by a file of soldiers. goes forth after midnight to do the bidding of ''the best and the treest govern. ment in the world" by breaking into the houses oftheir victims dragging them from their beds and thrusting them handcuiIed into the cells of Fort ress. .McHenry. sGen. Howard, an old gentleman, the candidate for Governor, and his s jn, Mr. F. Howard, were taken from their beds, and from .he sides of their wives, between one and two o'clock on Thursday morning, by Berrett and fife of soldies who woundei with their bayonets Mr. r. Towards little son, six years od and so i'll treated Mrs. Howard that she died on the Sun. day following. Ar. Lincoln thought she was "served right and declared that 'tne wives and brats of traitors deserved to be threaded up- on red-hot jackchains.' To the suffering cbii- dren and wives of bis victims he replies to their request to be permitted to see their parents with refusal couched in obscene and brutal lam guage or with some filthy jest that could not be put upon paper.
 The week before last, Berrett unan Stewards order, broke into he mansion of a lady of rank. whose husband is in Europe, and with file of soldiers pulled her from her bed without permit ting her to dress, or even to put On her shoes; the fellow forced her to go with him from the attic to the cellar in her night gown, whilst he tore up the carpet, forced the doors; and cut tu pieces the beds, mattresses, brocaded chairs, so- t;}s, etc., and turned out every trunk and drawer leaving tue beautiful residence to.a! wreck No reason has been assigned for this outrage except that his patron, the President wiIed it. on the following night the house of a venerable gentleman was torc bly entered, and every bed eat to paces his three daughters were pulled out of their beds, and subjected to brutal lndel.
 cacies the heart sickens at. The following morning the Colonel of these honorable and gal ant defenders of their country, named Wilson, was taken into custody for y2rlpus rJhberieS, tbe property having been found 1T Lis shop in Brook Iyn New Iork The house of Ar. George, who had no connections with the politics, was search ed for arms; as d matter Ot course none were found, but quantity Of wine was, and the off cers Tn command of this respectable aud gallant army carried it off. Mr. George determined to brlng the thieves to justice, but Mr. Seward has thrown his protection around them, and threat~ ems and bui!ies the sufferer.
 Mr. Faulkner, the Iate Embassador from the United States to France, has been imprisoned in a common feions cell, without even straw to lie upon. leaving his three motherless and un~ protected daughters in a hote-lr. Lincoln re- tusing him permission to send a message to them and rohbng Alm Ci all the money he had with him. Lincoln, when told of the young la dies grief, aud that their dresses were wet with tears, ridiculed 1t, and made filthy and obscene jokes at their expense. Mr Wallis, President ot the Senate, man of refined mind, elegantly educated, who held his large fortune as a trust for every good and benevolent purpose whose eloquence and high talent vied with his good ness and his virtues, has been confined to 8 mar rOw cell, with six other gentlemen, without the commonest convenience that the srpooFest beg gar can command for the wants of nature, torn from his wife and family while suffering from severe sickness without change of linen and robbed of all his money. Mr. Ross Winans, nearly eighty years ot age, vas taken fro n his splendid mansion in the middle of the night, and for second time, consigned to cell. This time his crime was giving food, daily, to 2,500 poor people. His last release from prison cost him S50,000 brihe to member of the govern ment that the Toronto Globe defends.
 Mrs. Davis, a lady of large fortune, hal fed nearly one thousand poor daily. Mir Seward commanded her to desst from doing so; she re- fused, and published his command and her let ter of refusal the paper that published t has been suppressed, the materials of the office car ried off, and the editor imprisoned, ant this the Toronto Globe with an assurance as hrazen as only the Globe can assume, has the hardibood, on British Territory, ia land of freedom and the to boards of treenem, put itself for ward to sustain the viiiainies of the foulest fac ton that ever disgraced any land--~a fraction that cal! for liberty, and strangles freedom,- muzzles the press,-punishes charity -1erides vrtue,-and raises the most hideous despotism to hide it's robberieS and its ncapacity.
