We Venture Is assert that no policy
has been adopted BY tho administration
sinca % came into existence which meets
90 fully The approval Of the popular mind
e chat which Is set forth 10 the Prasi-
dents letter % General Lae. The people
Of the Confederate States hayo suffered
intensely, bat have waited patiently ia
the confident hope that the Government
At Richmond would come to their rescue.
and now that it has, they hail the event
With Joy and as the harbingar Of a better
state Of things. The only matter Of re-.
grel Is that the President did not embrace
in his bill Of exceptions the cases Of those
sweet smelling scoundrsls Butler, Curtis
and Shcrman-the 6rst brute and a
murderer the second murderer and vi.
lain, and the third an accessory to and
pailiator Of one Of the most atrociouc
crimes in the criminal calendar. Why
they were not included ii is difficult to
divine, but we live in hope that they
will be attended to in due time. Surely
if disregard for the rules Of civilized
warfare to say nothing 81 the claims ol
humanity and justice, should entitle oul
enemies to the penalties Of outlawry,
these fellows deserve 10 be. placed at the
head Of the list Of felons. Butler, whose
brutal murder Of Mumlord, and still faore
brutal treatment Of Mrs. Phillips, vel
cry to Heaven ior redress, should be put
ia the same category with RAna.- ana
Steinwelif. Curtis, who has hung with
out mercy a number Of unarmed and de-
fenseless citizens Of Arkansas, stolen
negroes by the thousand and &C ually
armed. drilled and organized them int
companies-and regiments for the purpose
Of fighting against the whites, has PLACED
himself, by his acts, without the pale O
our forbearance. And Sherman, BY biz
refusal to deliver up the slave who out
ragged and murdered Miss Waugh, de
serves death. Against all such enemies
Of mankind les the black flag be raised
and no quarter be given. Let them BE-
made to quaff the chalice which they hole
to the lips Of the innocent and the help
less until'the last dregs are drained ant
they have realized to the fullest extern
the bitterness Of the draugAt. Let th'
blood hounds Of war be unleashed, not t
return to their kennels until they arr
gorged with blood. Let mercy be erased
from our banners and VENGEANCE in
serted instead and when the Black Elal
is unfurled the nation will greet it as th'

the mine, properly worked, would supply

The owner is now charging at the NINE

Arkansas, willleave for Richmond tonight
for the purpose Of contracting With The
Secretary Of the Navy for building mate
