Two Cobbs, one Toombs and Crawford, pub
lish an address to the deluded and pundered
people of the Paper Coufederacy of the South
in which they say. " our enemy" (the Govern
ment,) has exhibited an energy, a perseverance
and an amount of resources which we had
hardly expected, and disregard Of Constitu-
ton and lars teiict IRE can hardly credit"
The bigoted bloats and punderers of the
American Government, and of the outraged
people Of the South armed for the destruction
of the Constitution, they demand that our
enemy" shall not disregard it! We trust
Government will adhere to the Constitution,
and see that such traitors and their sympa-
thisers are Constitutionally hanged by the
neck until they are dead, that their corrupt
carcases may enrich the soil they have desc
Grated and plundered while living And may
their exit be accompanied by an equal number
Of Northern fanatics.
\ letter found in Zoliicofiers deserted camp,
declared that they (the rebels could "whip
fifty Thousand. We can whip four or five to
one" Yet the fleeing braves of Zollicofer
were numerically superior to their just armed
pursuers; aud still they fed, leaving intyench-
ments, arms and provisions, in their great haste
to escape the hated sight of Union and Con
stitutional men. They WHIPPED and spurred
like devils to reach Nashville
Secesh papers accuse the rebe! Gen Critten
den of selling his command for 1000, over to
the Government, and Of drunkenness. He has
been arrested. If that is so, is it not fair to
presume that 100000, together with an as
surance of his personal liberty, would induce
JEFF. to sell out the entire rebel army?
Some rebel barroom bummers Of Alabama
have armed themselves with Bowie knives two
feet and six inches long in the blade, and are
to raise the black flag when the Union and
Constitutional troops advance upon Mobile.
They declare they will not practice " the fire
and fall back" tactics. In their daily drill at
the bar we suppose there is no FIRE and fall
back" movement practiced, and, if their con-
suming rage and hatred Of constitutional and
Union men, is sufficient to carry them to the
encounter, Gen. Butler will consign to the devil
a fresh invoice Of ready eampheued lamp
wicks.
The Abolitionisis of Vermont are about to
recognize the rebel Confederaey. \ cores
pondent of the n Y. Tribune writes:
Unless a stop is soon put TO the favorng of
slavery, Vermont will soon put stop to re-
cruiting recall her troops and seceie in the
name of God and freedom.
May cotton rope contract the thorax of
such reasonable fanatics.
Many fires have occcured in New Orleans,
and their origin is charged upon Union men.
If we credit the statement of the rebels aid
their sympathisers, there is not Union and
Constitutional man in the imaginary bounda-
ries of their Contederacy. Is there no error
about either of these rebel statements?
a riot at Richmond is reported, but it is
hardly true, for have not the rebels repeatedly
assured US that all was unity in the land OF
Dixie?
THAT Is THE QUEsT1os.-The Pacific Echo.
which is somewhat on the secesh order, has
this Inquiry in reference to the Marysyie
Express, q brother of the same faith;
Has this paper (the Express) obtained al
additional editor, 50 that one can write for war
and one for peace, and thus occupy two posi-
tioDs at one time?
The trouble is, the Express is trying to get
into the Democratic ranks through its peace"
party platform, just as the mischievous old
SOW tried 10 get into the corn field through a
hollow log, that brought her out every time on
the same side of the fence that she had started
II on.
