One Of the chief duties Of every public
officer is to encourage trade and inter-
course among the people, so as 70 eslab-
lish a unity Of feeling. The present
revolutionary state Of things IN the South
is, we acknowledge, extraordinary, and
renders il impossible, for reasons of pub
lie safety, TO encourage universal traffic.
But yet even here, il would seem truth,
too plain TO require an argument to sup
port Il, that al friends of the Govern
ment should be encouraged TO pursue
their usual av0cations. Is il wise, is il
just to establish general blockade at
evsry petty military post ?--to lock up
city with an embargo ?--to enclose its
daily and necessary traffic in fuel food
and clothing within an impossible mill
tary entrenchment ? These are thoughts
which should force themselves upon The
serious consideration Of our military
authorities. TO thrust them aside IS in-
different suggestions is a mark Of neither
prudence nor patriotism. The loyal peo-
pie Of this place and county, and there are
hundreds and hundreds Of them, as faith
ful and true as the Christian martyrs of
old--and faithful, too, not only when OPP
pressed by their enemies, but, what is far
harder, when oppressed by those who
claim TO be their friends, and are en-
listed in the same cause Of Union and
free government have a right TO
demand that their applications for re-
lief shall not be rejected with indifer-
ence, We want bread, we want meat,
we want vegetables, we want fuel and
the products of the surrounding country,
and unless we get these articles of abso-
lutte necessity, appalling suffering will
follow the present priyations
Will these appeals be needed ? Is no
to be given publicly to
armers to bring us their crops, which [
We must have ? Or are they still to I'M
lerstand that if they have the temerity
0 bring US supplies they must do it at i
he risk of having their wagons, servants o
nd teams impressed Unfortunately il
Dhe most loyal men in the State have e
ad their wagons and carts impressed .
gently at our market-house. We see il
o reason why the same liberal policy d
hould ncsbe adopted here that has been g
dopted at New Orleans, at Memphis, =
nd other cities under military rule. r,

The Foul Work of the Rebels in
Kentucky.

Since the rebels have backed out their
vile and atrocious work is being hourly
brought TO light, While Braeg's army
was at Glasgow, Mr.. 4. 4. Z. Tabb. for-
merly a citizen of Richmond, Va. but
for several years past resident Of Gal.
latin, Tenn, set out from Nashville 10
come TO this city, but unluckily was
caught by company Of Bragg's assas-
sins, somewhere near the line. and bv
them conducted 20 Glasgow. His wife
and two interesting little girls accom-.
panied him 10 Glasgow, from which place
they were persuaded by the rebels To re-
turn TO tbsir home in Tennessee. but not
until they had been assured tbat Mr..
Tabb would not be harmed. So soon
as tho poor distressed mother and
daughters started for home. Mr.. Tabb
was ordered TO be shot, and accordingly
was led ont like beast, tied 10 n tree
and shot This is certainly one Of The
toulest and most atrocious crimes that
we were ever called upon 60 record. For
no other crime under heaven than his
adherence Of treason, poor Tabb, de-
tenceless and innocent, fell victim 10
these traitors and ruthless assassins.
How long are we 10 suffer these ont

Bfhh Z Oh Ne&roas Tor MILITARY Services,
We notice that in Texas and in some
portions Of the Mississippi Valley tbe
proposition is urged TO make conscrip.
tion or forced levy Of slaves, where their
labor is necessary for the army. Since
the invasion of the South the Yankees
have stolen tens of thousands Of negroes
and made them useful as teamsters la
borers in camp, sc. 1t appears that
Shareholders are averse for some reason.
to hire their negroes in the Confederate
army. The prejudice is certainly an ir-
norant and mean one. As The war oripi
mated, aud is carried on in great part for
the defense Of the STAKEHOLDER in his
property, rights and the perpetuatfon of
the institution, it is reasonable to sun
pose that he ought TO be first and fore
most in aiding and assisting, by every
means IN his power the triumph and
success of our arms. Good wages are
offered, and proper care and attention

leaving behind them to hlacken the history
Of onr country. Mr.. Richardson boldly and
fearle>sly denuuuces the Abolition members
