The Southern Pirates.

The Southern Congress has passed an ac t
authorizing the issuing of letters of marquc.
The tenth section of this piratical enactment
reads as follows:
THAT bounty of $50 for each person
on board any armed ship or vessel. belong
ing to the United States, at the commence
ment Of an enga cement, which shall be burnt,
sunk or destroyed by any vessel commissioned
as aforesaid, which shall be of equal Or infe-
rior force, the same to be divided as in other
cases of prize money--and "a bounty OF go
shall be paid 10 the owners, officers and crews
of the private armed vessels commissioned
as aforesaid for each and every prisoner by
them captured and brought into port, and de-
ivercd to an agent authorized TO receive
them, in any port Of the Confederate States
and the Secretary Of the Treasury is hereby
authorized to pay or cause to be paid to the
owners officers and crews of such private
armed vessels, commissioned as aforesaid or
their agent, the bounies herein provided.
Itappears that the South are driv to
perfect desperation. They are bent upon the
destruction Of our Government, and no meas
ures are TOO vile for their use, if they eau
contribute to the object they propose. They
invite pirates to prey upon our commerce,
and even offer them a bounty for the murder
of our citizens. The offer resembles those
made for their fugitive slaves, so much If
taken. either dead or alive, and they offer bu:
trifc more for the living than the dead
This is the grateful return we receive from
the South, for the over lcnity and forbear
aacc Of the North. Our troops have acted
against slave dsafTection W lether in Florida
or Maryland, and the Governor of Pennsyl-
yania has refused transit for black troops
across his State No efforts are bring made
to stir up insurrection among the slaves, but
We have been waiting 10 forbearance for some
indication of penitence and loyalty to the
Government, but they arc trying to make the
gulf between themselves and the North too
wide to be brdged by any compromises,
and even offer twenty dollars a head for
the murder Of their own countrynen.-
They appear willing to take the chances OF
the most violent hostility to the North,
which we are driven to accept, and of the
final results they have no right to complain.
If they make free plunder of the property
of our citizens can they reasonably find
fault if we make free passage for the escape
oil the property they claim to hold in en-
shaved human beings? We may learn from
the movements of the Southern Coincidence =
the code of morals which the spirit of Slave
ry cherishes at the South.

to shoot,' that if there was to he fight he
