AN CID MANS ADVICE

Never attempt to str;ks tho guilty, where

cent, the gallant and the good may suffer-
Never attempt to expose a villain, if your e'-
forts in so doing are likely to injure those who
have been the unsuspecting dupas Of bis arti-
fce. Never shake hands with man if ven
are not really glad to see him. Never forget.
when you meet to recognize your friends, and

who are poor. Never ran eztrayagantly into

cause, but if ii be necessary that you do take
up quarrel, then Gee that quarrel firmly to
an end. Never betray confidence OF Gny kind,
but more particularly THAI Of woman.

The Captured Iowa Rerimenfs.

James c. Ii. Hobbs writes to the Chi.
cago journal under date of Pittsburgh
Landing, April 23d, that it is a mistake
that the Sth, 18th and l4th Iowa resi-
ments were captured early in the day Of
Sunday, April 6th-the first day of the
great battle. He says that he was with
the 18th and l4th regiments as late as ,
quarter past o'clock in the afternoon of
that day, out upon the field. They had
driven the rebels in repeated assaults,
and were still advancing when be last
saw them. They did not yield their
ground once, but steadily advanced till
their final strait, when surrounded by
the enemy who had turned our right and
left flank and closed ip their rear They
fought their way half mile back, but
were overwhelmed by swarming rebel
regiments, and surrendered about a quar-.
ter before five clock, p m.

is important, as it corrects a msstatement

Massachusetts teachers at Port Roya
give encouraging accounts Of their sdu
cational enterprise among the contra
bands. The Boston journal, noticing
the substance of these communications
says:
"The negroes are busily employed ia
planting cotton, corn and potatoes, labor
ing cheerfu!ly for slight pecuniary ro.
wards, and manifesting a tractable, ODE
dent, and defercutial spirit, which has
deeply impressed the white teachers who
are striving to fit them to take care of
themselves. On some plantations they
had planted sufficient corn to meet their
own wants before the Government under
took to direct their labors. Some of
them arc very intelligent in practical
matters, and manage the affairs Of the
plantations to which they belong with
much skill. They all manifest an eager
desire to learn to read, aud make excel.

Awful Rebel Outrayes.

Fort Pillow Correspondence Of the N. Y. Tribune.
Just above where We are lying, on the
Tennessee shore, in Lauderdale county,
resides family formerly of Iowa, who
have lived there for the past four or FIVE
years, aud have Witnessed the workings
Of secession in this vicinity They say
that Immediately after the declaration
that Tennessee had gone out Of the In.
ion, bands of armed men went prowling
about the country, robbiug whomsocver
they chose, insulting women, and forcing
loyal citizens into the rebel service at the
point Of tho bayonet They committed
the greatest outrages everywhere, and
the family Of which | speak were depriv.
ed of everything valuable in the house,
while the head Of the household was
compelled to fly from home and hide in
the woods at least six or seven times to
avoid impressment.
A number of Union men refused to
embrace treason even when threatened
with death, and those brave spirits were
carried off and executed by the mob -
The wife of the Iowa man says a great
many were hanged, and that she herself
knows six who were suspended from a
tree within two miles of her own dwell
ling, and left prey to the buzzards and
crows. Their bodies were afterv ard
taken down and buried, but not before the
rebel outlaws were at a safe distance, as
the people we're fearful, and and without
reason, that had it been known the rights
of sepulture had been given the poor
martyrs, those who performed that com
mon act of charity would probably have
shared their fate.
The woman says that one Of the Union
men who had been impressed and after.
ward deserted, more perhaps because he
believed his family were starving than
from his adherence of joining so uuholy
cause, was captured in Lauderdale CO.
while on his way home, and was actually
nailed to tree and left there to perish
by inches. The man was found there a
week after, merely by accident, as he had
been gagged to prevent bis outcries, and
thus deprive him of all hope of release,
and taken to the house Of a ncigbbor. -
The unfortunate victim was still alive,
but so much exhausted FROM exposure,
famine, and pain, that he died on the
second day after his release, notwith-
standing every effort was made to save
his life. This story seems most improb-
able; too horrible for belief but the wo-
man, who has no motive for misrepresen-
tation, declares it true, and l can see no
good reason for discrediting her account
Of the unnaturally cruel and entirely
monstrous transaction.

question for themselves to determine.-
There 10 40 ,erong to the rebels in employ
ing and armiug slaves for the suppression
of this "slaveholders' insurrection, af-
ter what they have done in the very spir-
it of the bottomless pit for the overthrow
Of the government. The howls Of their
sympathizers will fall upon ears deaf to
such outcry from them.
The policy which General Hunter is
reported to have adopted is, We presume,
limited, and for specific purpose. The
posts of the South cannot bo aban doued
again to the hands of the rebels, but must
be retained through the approaching
sickly season. The troops Of the North
are uuacolimated, and therefore humanity
would dictate that they should, as far as
possible, be replaced by men who can en-.
dure the trials of that climate. Those
who imagine the negro slaves, even the
most stolid, cannot be drilled into sol
diers capable Of resisting effectively ;heH'
chivalrous masters, mistake the eharac
ter. Under the control Of competent
officers, with the hope of freedom and
the fear of reinstatement, negroes will
hight. From outrages they will Of course
be restrained
For the purpose Of garrisoning the re.
captured forts in part, and such other
military service as they are capable of
under the discipline and restraint of
white officers, We see nothing to disap-
prove of in General Hunters policy. -
Upon other grounds than consideration
Of what is due to the rebels, we have op-
posed, and do still oppose, any general
arnins of the free blacks of the North.
or the slaves Of the South, as soldiers in
this war. We have white men enough,
willing and ready to put down the reb.
els,.with all their slave auxiliarics and all
their Indian allies. But some consider
alton is due to the brave patriot soldie S
of these loyal States. Their lives are
too precious to be thrown away upon a
chivalrous scruple
We acquiesce, therefore, in the ex-
pediency of fighting the devil with q lit.
tie of his own internal fire. They who
scruple not to arm their own blacks, and
to employ the savage Indians Of the from
tier to "protract the war until the sickly
reason,' relying upon continuance Of
that forbearing policy of which they take
unscrupulous advantage, will find them
selves for once in fatal error The
idea of arming slaves and Indians agains
us was not at all revolving. The table.
are turned to a limited extent, in copse
quence Of their prolonged resistance, anG
they may comfort themselves either with
rofecting upon their own atrocities. o,
the equally comforting thought that this
which they dread is the work of their
own hands. Not even upon principle Of
retaliation'would VIC sanction the general
armiDg of slaves at the South for servile
war upon their masters. A policy rs
just and more moderate would be equally
effective for the suppression of the re-
bellion.-Missoayi Democrat.
