SATURDAY, APRIL "a,
No. when the sepoy rebellion broke out in India

nsa. When the Sepoy rebellion broke out in India
and the monster Nana-Sahib and his myrmidons COM
nitted atrocities upon helpless and children, at
which the heart cold, cry of anguish arose from
the heart Of universal Christendom almost the only
captions that we could note being among few papers
at the North either OF the ultra Celtic school, who carry
their hatred to Britain into all things of the ultra
back-republcan persuasion who having black hearts
themselves, hate every that is not equally black
hearted with themselves, and blacksknned with their
pets
We read the English papers during the great rebel
lion just alluded to- and their tone when referring to the
widest and most horrible outrages and massacres in
India was the very essence Of mdness and genteness
itself compared with the tone of the Northern press and
papers towards the South from which every Northern
who chooses has gone in peace and quieness, and
those who have chosen to stay have sad in peace and
quietness.
We have read of Nero, we have heard of Bomba and
Bombalino the late King and the present Ex-Kng Of
Naples we have seen the of the Russian Gar
and the Austrian Caisar butnever not in the times of
the erocous Duke of Ava have seen heard or read
of anything to begin equal the trucuent and rocious
spirit breathed by the organs of public opinion at the
North and East towards this section. In spite of
true men left at the North West,-some who have
higher ambition than to embrue their hands in blood
some who think that justice is better than force and
honesty more becoming than brutality.
Here is what the Tribune the leading organ of Lin
coin, says
Zone of the most authentic and gratifying items of
latest from Washington that Mr. Lincoln said to
depuation from Baltimore Monday last, that II the
passage of United States troops again obstructed he
would lay their city in ashes That's the way to talk to the
traitors"
Even the Boston Courier which so long held out the
idea of moderation conservatism, friendship for the
South and so FORTH demands that Baltimore should be
laid in ashes and we notice in the New York Courier
and Enquirer of Thursday this remark and it is worthy
of all attention coming as it purports to do. The En-
quirer says -" 1t was but the other day that MI
Dickinson whose antecedens have been most Southern
said he uord strike norU in might, and If meceSsa
ru 1Uipe the South from the face of the eart'" Why
the most erocous despo used such language as
this.
Friends returned from the North tell us that Car
form no idea of the fendish erocity of hatred the per
feet rage of diabolsm which has suddenly found vent
and expression at the North. Mr.. Cassidy, " the
Inimitabe,' who got here on Monday, says that moi
only could not Southern express opinion, but
it was as much as his life was worth to be known
Southern man. He had gone North on business anc
got caught in the storm The storm will yet catct
those who have evoked it. The North has given isel
up to the mob and cannot control it. When Stewart
and Astor talk of giving their millions, be sure the
pressure is greater than that which Austria Turkey
ever employed to draw forth a forced loan"
The Tribune even holds out the idea of robbing the
people of Virginia of their fair lands and of portioning
them out among the military followers of New
England William the Conqueror"
One would really think to read the horrible denunci
atons and threats of vengeance and to hear the cries
rage uttered by the North that the South had invaded
their soil had planted hostile forresses their harbor
or upon their coasts was blockadng their harbors O.
was seeking to impose foreign rule upon them. u
the contrary all the South asks is to be let Alone No
to be retained in an embrace which has become hateful
and must be injurious. The North will neither iV
with us in peace nor part with in peace 1t become
us not to say what the of this contest will be-
That for the God Of Battles to determine but human
~ speaking, we may be that it will not be wha
these blatant orators and editors and politicians of th
Northern cities tell US it will be- We do not underrat
our foes. 1t would be folly so to do Of that folly the
are guilty. These braggarts and blowers like Greele
and Webb, and Raymond and Fernando Wood, mus
from the force of circumstances be despcabe coward
and this Raymond showed in Italy, when be ran lively
miles on dead stretch, and no one pursuing him.
b6y~We have little time now tor reading long speed
es and we hardly ever attempt to do so; but we hay
tried to wade through the proceedings of the Mass Nee
ing held at New. York on Saturday meeting opene
with prayer by DR.. Spring-theatrcally adorned wit
the flag of Sumper in the hands of the bronze statue
Washington, and with Major Anderson and the r
doubted Doubleday paraded " Small Monuments
