COLONEL NAYS INDEPENDENT REGIxENr.-It
is stated that the independent regiment of Col.
May. of White Pigeon. is rapidly filing M.
Over six hundred have already been mustered
into the service, and these are being perfected
In drill. They have the best of fare, and large
and comfortable quarters are being made for
all that come. Colonel May is determined that

State. The uniform of the regiment is to be of
the finest quality, and the arms, the celebrated
Enfield Rifles. battery of ten guns is to be
attached to the regiment when it takes the
field.

CONDITION OF REBEL FoRcEs.-The Washing
ton Stars correspondence from Fairfax County
says there are now no disunion troops at vi
emma, picket guard only being kept there.
Immediately around Flint Hill, half way be-
tween Falls Church and Fairfax Court House.
there are remains of four South Carolina regi-
ments-Cols. Kershaw's, Cash's, Bacon's and
Williams regiments. They are reduced to
about half their original number by the contin-
gencies of their service, and principally through
sickness. Each Of these regiments was oripi-
nally 900 strong. The camp measles has ragged
long and terri6cally in these regiments as
throughout the rest of Gen. Beauregard's army.
As soon as man is taken down with it now he
is removed to some hospital in the interior.

A FIENDIsI BUTCHERY.-The world stands
aghast at such wanton horrors as that recently
committed by the 6endish secess;onists of Mis-
souri,. Search the records of crime committed
by savage nations, and nothing can be found
to exceed it in black and terrible cruelty.
What language can depict the character of the
malignant devils in human form who could
coolly prepare SUCH horrible death-trap for
innocent women and children, and bury their
mangled forms in such an abyss Of ruin?
Yet We have men in our very midst who not
only sympathize with these butchers of the in
nocent, but who openly avow their sympathy [!
We doubt not these black-hearted tends would
commence the same work among Us if their
craven souls could only feel the stimulus of
courage! Men who will sympathize with such
wre:ches as are the traitors in
arms against our government should no longer
be tolerated in our community Their very
presence is sufficiently loathsOne to breed a
pestilence. Let them bewarel

some time since the Albany Esssing Journal
in m article entitled Let us take an Observa-
dsn. ipauleed itself in an extensive " sbservs'
tion" Of past political events and controversies
connected with the compromise question, in
which We can but think ii departed from its u.s.
u.lly sound discretion. Though We deem such
discussions at the present time out Of place, We
weld in this instance to the better judgment Of
the Journal, determined TO vindicate what We
believe to be the truth in this matter.
The Journal sets out BY saying that certain
=. suggestions which it made in December last,
viz: a modification in the Fugitive Slave Law,
divestine it Of its vindictive and repugDant fea
ture.-and the restoration of the Missouri Com
promise" aroused . storm of indignation
from the Republican press both in and out of the
State Of New York.
If these propositions embraced oil the com
promises preferred by the Journal, it may vel
complain Of the indignation" aroused against
it. Our impression ia that it proposed something
more than these-but let that pass. We viii
pass also the copious extracts it produces of tie
fierce discussion which ensued, and turn our at
tsntion to the point where its grievances take q
wider range than mere newspaper chickering's
and are laid at the door of the Republican party
in Congress.
The Journal says:
"And, finally, Congress adjourned, having
done and said nothing to strengthen o. eDcour
age the Union men of the border States. Then
