Policy Of tho Southern Confederaey.

As the Hon. A. III. Stephens passed
through Atlanta, few days since,on
his return from Virginia to Mont
gomery, he was met at the depot by a
crowd of citizens. to whom he made
brief speech, in the course Of which
he said:
You have probably seen it stated
that overtures Of peace had been made
by Lord Lyons, and perhaps by 9TH
er parties. l tell you it is not true,
and is only intended to deceive you.
1t is also said that the Lincoln gov
ernment has done so. This may be
| true; but if it is, it is all for treacl,e-
ry, as they gave traitorous assuran-
ccs to our commissioners at Washing
ton. For weeks they We're kept there
under the most positive assurances Of
a pacific policy and intentions towards
us-all with the basest motives that
can actuate u treacherous heart. If
peace propositions are made by them
now. | con- ure you not to trust them
for Il single moment-they only in
tend to deceive and betray, and to lull
your suspicious and energies till they
secure cowardiy advantage.
What is to take place before the
end | know not, a threatened war
is upon us made by those who have
no regard for right! We fight for our
homes, our fathers and mothers, our
wives, brothers. sisters, sons aud
daughters, and neighbors! IHey far
MONEY! The mercenaries Of the north,
are all against you.
A general opinion prevails that the
city OF Washington is soon to be at
tackled. On this subject, l con only
say that our object is peace. We de
sircno aggression on any ones rights,
and will make none. But il MARYLAND
secedes, the District Of Columbia will
fall to her by reversionary right
the same as Sumter to South Carroll
na-Pulaski to Georgia, and Pickens
to Florida, When we have the right
We will demand the surrender of the
city of Washington, just as we did in
the other cases, and will enforce our
demands atevery hazard, and IT what
ever cost. And here let me say that
our policy and conduct from the first
has been right, and shall be to the last
l glory in this consciousness of our
rectitude.

Says the Baton Rouge, Gazette
& Comet
A lady Of this city, received yes
tcrday from Worcester, Mass. 4 let
ter from her mother, who resides in
that place with her two daughters,
and years ago lived in Louisiana.
The letter informs her daughter
here, that she is forced to leave
Worcester on the following anony-
nous notice received by her
through'thc Post Office in that place
Worchcster, Mass, Apr. 80, 1861.
Mrs.--, Ii you wiz raise I,
flag in some conspicuous place on
your premises, (with the Thirty
four Stars and Stripes) Of not less
than three by seven feet dimensions,
between this and Saturday night,
and forever hold your peace, while
you stay in this city, it will be well
with you. Otherwise we are deter
mined that every advocate of Slave
ry shall leave the place forthwith.
(Signed.) One Of Many Citizens
of Worchester, Massachusetts,.
The ladies were alone and unpro-
tected when the villainous and cow
ardly missive reached them, and
their alarm may readily be imagin-
cd, as they make hasty preparation
to leave. knowing the feeling of
the people there, against all persons
who have lived in this section, the
ladies avoided as much as possible
all visitors, and this is the result.

Outrages by Soldiers.-A number
Of soldiers from Camp Curtin threw
Harrisburg, Penn, into considerable
excitement, on Tuesday last, by their
villainons proceedings. They were
led on bya fellow named McCan,l .
Pittsbnrger. After abusing private
houses they made II dash or Il hotel,
and the police interfered. The ae-
count says:
Immediately on the arrival of the
officers the soldiers became furious.
and made an indiscriminatc attack on
them, as we'll as others, with their
bayonets. One of them ran his bay
onet through the MANNED arm Of Isaac
Mcguire, also entering his side, and
intlicting several severe but rot dan
gerous wounds. McCann made d,s
perate attack on Mr.. Raymond, when
the latter knocked him down with Il
chair, laying open his skull in "a fri sht-
fulmanner. For a long time he was
supposed to be killed. The made
quate police force were unable to cope
with the armed soitlires, and their ar
rest had finally to be effected by u
file of soldiers, who marched til. N
to Jail. SO eHasperated were the pee
pie who had witnessed the riot, which
ragged for nearly an hour, that the
soldiers who made the arrest, had to
protect the prisoners with the point OF
the bayonet.
