The Southern press, headed by DR..

about the "perils of peace" They see
danger Of au immense Yankee immigra-
ton which will abolitionize the border

The Southern troops in Western Virgin
ia got sick enough of Virginis and Virgin
iaus. A letter from Surgeon J. B. Buist
was found in the pocket Of his uncle killed
at Port Royal, which says:
- Par! of the sick of Lees North Caroli-
na Regiment are under my charge, and
such spectacle as they present would
make your heart sick. Colonel, -Lieuten-
ant Colonel, Major, and both doctors are
sick, learn, and the men are dying like
sheep. Out of 200, rank and file, there
are now only three hundred fit for service.
Their condition is deplorable. Ii,
Henry Clay Pate, Of Border Ruffian
Kansas notoriety, was Captain of COM

massacre.
sa The Richmond Inquirer brags that the
recently arrived English steamer with a
cargo of war munitions for the Confeder-
ates, cost the government 5000, 900, has
capacity of ,6lO tons, and was one of the
swiflest steamers in British waters. The
Enquirer says "sbe carries havy arma-
ment, as the Yankees will some day learn.'
Beauregards report has made no end Of
disturbances in the South, though it is
not yet made public. From what i print
ed on both sides in the rebel newspapers
it is evident that the Louisiana General
not only reports the battle, but also what
he calls the imbecility Of Davis and his
Cabinet. It seems that "anierior to the
battle of Bull Run. General Beauregard
submitted plan TO Davis for junction
OF the armies of the Shenandoah and the
Potomac, and an advance upon Washing
ton, and that this plan was rejected by
Daris." -
The venerable Robert ]. Breckenridge

the Louisville Journal on the rebellion
1t is hardly necessary to say that be de-
nounces it as the blackest crime that ever
stained our national history, and insists
that itmust and shalLbe crushed, whatev-

The Richmond Examiner is very severe
on Gen. Lee because he can't drive Rosen-
cranz out Of Western Virginia. Floyd
and Wise both made the same effort, yet
they were equally unsuccessful, but Leesis
more fiercely attacked by the Examiner
because morewas expected from him, and
he is accused of making elaborate procla-
nations, telling timber, and marching co..
umns with great pomp for other Spur-
pose than to take good look at the enc
my's position, while Rosencranz was using
his legs and striking blow where he was
not expected. That is very impartial his
tory. rgqr Qgvaf.a1t 1FQT a.
