Notes Of the Rebellion.
THE NORTH APPRECIATED.

from any foreign source. In striking con-
trast is the following frank expression from
The Toronto canada West) Globe:
| Virginia would have an immense effect in bring.
| ing into the field thousands of the SOutherners
who are friendly to the Union, but do not now
see their way to interfering safely on its behalf.
Is it likely that the North will win victory
1t is impossible not to remark that whenever
the Northern troops have met the Southern on
equal terms, the latter have always given way.
Even when the South has had the advantage IN
numbers, they have frequently been defeated.
Even at Bull Run the NOrtherners had the adj
vantage when they met on equal terms. We
cannot but believe in the superiority of the
Northern troops. But the South was better
prepared for the war when it broke out, and
North.
EXPULSION OF CITIZENS.
The New Orleans Delta of the 18th re-
joices over the contemplated expulsion of
citizens of the United States " from the
Confederated States" The law, it states,
is, and the fact is confirmed from other
sources, that all owning citizenship to this
Government are to be banished from the
Confederate States. The Delta advises the
worst and says:
We cannot afford to tolerate enemies in our
midst, because, forsooth, they may have the
discretion to keep silent and to bear no arms
in their hands. The man of Massachusetts,, or
the man of Kentucky. living, and perhaps
thriving in our midst. has no business at this
time to be among US, and if he allows rea-
sonable suspicion to exist that he is not also
cordially with US.
What would become of the thousands of
the friends and adherents of the South in
"the United States if this rule should be
adopted
PATRIOTIC.
A leading dry goods house in PEiladel-
phia, according to the North american, re :
Gently received letter from customer in
Tennessee inclosing check for 5000, and
an order for goods to that amount. The
firm responded that as Tennessee had Sc
ceded, and was arrayed against the Union,
they could not send the goods. On receipt
of this letter the Tennessee house wrote
again, directing the goods to be sent to a
certain direction at Louisville, Kentucky,
by which means, of course, they would have
received them. Upou this the Philadelphia
firm sent back the check, and declined filing
the order at all.
PATRIOTIC CONGRESSMAN.
Hon. JAMES B. mexican, Member of
Congress from the Fifteenth District of the
State of New York, has issued the follow,
ing circular:
Traitors in arms seek to overthrow our Con.
stitution and to seize our Capital. Let US go
and help defend them. Who will despond be-
cause we lost the battle at Bull Run. Our
fathers lost the battle at Bunker Hill, but it
taught them how to gain the victory at Bemis
Heights. Let US learn wisdom from disaster
and send overwhelming numbers into the field.
Let farmers, mechanics, nero hants, and all
classes, for the liberty of all are at stake, aid
in organizing companies. | will cheerfully as
sist in procuring the necessary papers. Do not
misunderstood me. l am not asking for an
Office at your hands. If you, who have most
at stake. will go, will willingly go with you
as private soldier. Let US organize Bemis
Heights Battalion, and vie with each other in
serving our country; thus showing that we are
inspired by the holy memories OF the revolu.
| tionary battle fields upon and near which We
are living.
SUPERVISION OF LETTERS BY THE REBELS.
The rebels have established supervision
of all letters forwarded from the Southern
States by express. The Mobile advertiser
makes the announcement as follows:
We learn that instructions have been received
at the Express Agency here that supervision
of letters is deemed necessary to insure their
speedy transportation. This is done in pursu.
ance of an order from Major General Polk, and
Major Forsyth has accordingly appointed DR..
r. Miller supervisor for letters sent from this
city. Parties wishing to send letters out of the
Confederate States will therefore have them
endorsed by him before they can be sent for
ward.
OF course, letters presented to DR.. Miller
must be unsealed, so that they can be exam.
| ined and certified to Understandings.
MAJOR WHEAT.
The correspondent of the New Orleans
Delta writes from Richmond, under date Of
August 10:
But the most remarkable case is that of Mai
Wheat, who is rapidly recovering from the Sc.
verest wound that any man of his condition
ever survived. A mimic ball struck his right
| arm, passed through II, (graZlng the bone ),
entered his breast near the arm.pit passed
through his body, and striking his left arm
broke it, No one who saw him after the bat
tie entertained the slightest hope of his recov
cry but, thanks to good nursing and skillfu
surgery. and doubtless to the presence of hi
venerable mother and father, and his brother
Capt. j. X. Wheat, his case took favorable
turn, and he is now able to ride about in car
riage.
APPEARANCE OF THE CONFEDERATE MONEY
The Nashville Banner has the following
notice of the Confederate Treasury notes
Financially speaking, these notes will nj
doubt be found preferable to much of our pres
ent paper currency; but. mechanically view
ed, they are the most unmitgated bOtch WI
have ever seen. They are autographed upOl
an inferior grade of paper and the work is ex
ecuted in the lowest style of art. A common
letter press printer would be ashamed to turf
out such job. They will no more compar
with corporation and railroad bonds executed
in this city, than Satyr to Hyperion. We hop'
the Treasury Department will improve on thi
job.
