Adding Insult to Injury.

We learn from a private letter to
friend here, that a flag of truce was two
days since sent to Port Royal Ferry from
the Lincoln feet. The purport Of it VISA
to extend proclamation from the despot
Lincoln to all loyal citizens to return and
occupy their houses and plantations; that
they did not come to make war upon the
loyal, DC, bu. to protect all good citizens.
Capt. Elliott, who received tho party,
replied that he knew no person with such
ideas Of loyalty as they had, and very
properly declined receiving the procIama-
ton.
Abe Lincoln is reckoning wilhou. his
host If he calculates on finding Union
men in the Atlantic South to which his
grand Armada is sent. The fleet may
take and possess few islands on the
coast within reach Of their ships guns,
but they will neither finG foo,hold on the

Northern News via Manassas.

Manassas, Nov. 8.-We Rave received
here the Washington city Star, of Nov.
a., and l send you a brief synopsis Of
some Of the chief points of uew..
The Star insists on the accuracy of the
Federal report, announcing a brilliant vicr
tory near Piketon, Ky, but changed the
location Of the triumph to Prestop,burg.
1t says that the number Of prisoners is
1000 instead Of 1000, and that Gene.
raj Williams aud Howe are among the
prisoners. The Confederates killed, it re-
ports to be quito four hundred. This re,
port is evidently for Northern consump.
ton.
The flags captured at Port Royal are
now in use as curtains in the Navy De,
partmsnI
1t states that the Confederate force on
the Eastern shore Of Maryland has been
increased about 1900, and that General
Dix has sent a Federal force to destroy
them.
1t says it has reason to believe that
Gen. Johnston has concentrated At Win.
chester IL 600 Confederate troops.
The Secretary Of the Navy has direct
ed that a national salute te fired from
each Navy Yard throughout the United
States, expressive Of the high grati6ca.
ton Of the country at the capture Of Port
Royal.
Fifteen thousand moro troops will be
''nmejistely y despatched to reinforce Gen.
SLsr,nans command iu South Carolina.
Col. John Cochrane delivered an ad.
dress TO his regiment on the 18th, in
which he SAID, "We should use every
means in our power to subdue the rebel.
lion. We should take their cotton and
sell 1t, or burn it, as might be best, and
seize their arms and munitions Of war
contiscats their property, and, when nee.
esssry, take their lives aud a. their
slaves are used a. an element Of strength
against us, We should not hesitate TO take
and, II necessary, to place srms In their
hands, that they nigh. assis, in establish.
ing the rights Of common humanity"
lJobn n certainly getting very de,perate.1
Senator Cameron, and other prominent
'ndlviduals were present, and they all
warmly cheered Johns speech.

Spectators

The following article, taken from
New Orleans journal, is but fair expo.
si!ion Of the hear,lessness Of many indi.
viduals who infest almost every conmu,
nifty at the South. To those who are
guilty Of needless extortion in bread
stutfs and other nscessariss of life, 10
times like the present, no language cat
be too severe for them. Let the public
scorn and the contempt Of every good
citizen spurn them from their midst:
1t is proven to every Ltelligen, man
that this city is infested with Yankee
speculators, whose bodies are here and
whose souls are in Lincolndom.
For months past every article used for
home consumption has been growing
dearer and desrer each week. Pork,
coffee, tea, cocoa, butter, army and navy
cloths-in fine, articles which people
must have, and for which, therefore, a
demand exists, have been gradually raised
to ruinous prices. What will become Of
the people unless they do something to
put a stop to speculation. no human "a
gac;,y can tell.
The Confederate Government has suf.
lered immensely, aud suffers every day
from spectators. The hugsst swindling
has BEEN and is now practiced by army
contractors. Men whom j: were gross
outrage to call Southerners, are making
fortunes from the treasure Of cur young
Republic, and speculating on the blood
and health Of our gallant soldiers, who
need comfortable clothing to protect
them against the cold winters Of Virginia,
Kentucky, and Missouri. We venture the
assertion tha, the money thus pocksted
by shameless speculators in the sale Of
unseawor,hy steamers, bad medicines,
poor uniforms, and stale provisions, since
the commencement OF the war, would be
sufficient to furnish winter clothing for
the army Of the Po,omsc. 1t is even
openly said by some Of the specializing
gentry that If fortunes cannot now be
made, another chance will not soon oc
cur, and that as thousands are engaged
in speculations. they zee no reason why
they, too, should fail to embrace good
opportunities. The aTpument in that IL
