Of giving big names to little things, calling

HANGING q Game for Cwo.

We can inform the Federal ruthsns, news
paporial aud military, that their darling idea
Of catching and hanging JEFF. DAVIS is
likely to produce al effect which they have
act altogether anticipated. There il another
neck which is quite as likely to be broken as
that of JEFF. DAVIS, and there are men who
have registered vow" in Heaven Of an eye
for an eye, and a tooth for t. tooth, and q life
for a life. It does not follow that because high
public functioHaries are surrounded by SOL
diers and bloody minded newspaper editors are
crying on in supposed safety the slaughter OF
an unofeuding people, that the means cannot
be found of making them receive in their own
persons the punishment of their crimes.

ment rendered, sGot as to himself, but TO his
State, whose good fortune it had been to in

which they were engaged-con tending for
principles, in the support of which their an

memories of Henry and of Jefferson, and
would make around the halowed tomb OF
| Washington q rampant which would save the

| Il cause, and with motives thus impel-

| That the soldiers of South Carollna would
| be at their side, and the descendants OF the
Shelbys, the Williamses and the Cleveiands
would en- ulate the deeds OF their ancestors Al
| Kings Mountain. He alluded 10 the sacreo
! day on which he was addressing them, and
referred TO the holy associations which THEN

Mayor, on suspicion Of being spy. When
carried before the Mayor he exhibited pass

detained short time he was let loose, no one
appearing against him. The person alluded
to was not long since in n. c.. where he was
waited upon by the citizens and told to leave.
He said at that time that he was an office
holder under lincoln, and resided in Wash
ington, and bad only obtruded himself where
be formerly resided to gee lot of acquain-
tances he had. Foster, if we mistake not, used
to edit paper in Norfolk. He is Vermonter
