Rebel Atrocities.

From a lady who has recently returned
With her husband from Richmond, have
had some sccount of rebel atrocities that
exceeded anything I have ever before heard
OF been willing to believe. l have been re-
luctant TO think that these men, whom before
this war broke out knew to be gentlemen,
could have their natures 50 changed BY the
bad passions of rebellion as be worse than
brutes. About the facts of this story there
can be no doubt-ths lady Is incapable of
eEaggeratiOn. / an not permitted to give
her name nor the whole account, as she
lshEinls from such unenviable publicity; but
I an allowed to say that when she went on
TO bar husband on the day after Boil Run,
baarlng flag Of truce in her hand, she was
me- with every insult by officers whom she
had Known IN society as geHtlezea. One ac-
4ualtY bca1ted 70 her that he had killed his
Wits uncie, and that uncle had supported
hin until the war begunl Another offered
hof al sorts Of insults. That night and the
HsEt tmorninzishe Was forced to eat at the OHi-
csfs mess, where the food consisted Of fried
baoouy eoarse corn bread, and tea without
milk Os sugar, and where she had hooking
eoooulis Of Yankes e0Wardice, anG immense
bgssfing or Southern valor. These ohival-
nous uen Wsrs not even restrained from Wi
gar oAfhs By the presence Of a refined and
aislicats lady IN distress.
Finally, ana not until morning ERs we'll
aEeanoed was she taken By guard Of
asiii9Ts 10 her husband, and to reach him
she hasi 10 cross the battlefield. Never to
hsr dyinE day can she forget that scene
There lay the dead, many Of them with
Fsping bayohet wounds, that proved how
fhoy had been struck when already disa-
blsd By some slighter injury, and al our
men, officers and privates, were stripped
entirely naked The bodies, swollen by
the lGst nights rains, presented q sight
iEo8f disgusting and revolving and yet the
nady was obliged 10 walk through this
goeaa Of dasolation. The rebel soldiers
TaEeod and dirty, were clothed In the blood,
stSfned uniform they had stolen from the
Essling bodies.
Il 3 fmpossible for the pen to attempt tC
portray che horrors she Witnessed. On the
Way 70 Richmond shs Eas subjected 20 per.
petual insults, her head often rudely seized
and her face turned Up, that some drlnkeI
soldier might look ct the ''d--d Ysnkel
woman" She says Is ia also true that thi
prisoners we're exhibited st ten cents {
BighL Her sHfsFiDgs IN the tobacco fac
tory at Richmond we're too terrible to re
late. The only food they had during thes
yVesFy months vas q sort Of porridge mad
sOf cora meal, and q soup Of Oorned beef
with the soup meat, snd herb tea. The,
never had particle Of either milk, suga
'or butter, and yet there we're wounded mel

One Of the best acts Of legislation which
has bssn enacted during the war in behalf
Of the soldier, is the allotment system, BY
which he can every month secure to his
family whatever proportion of his pay be
sess6t The provisions Of the act passed by
Congress are thst the President shall appoint
for each State having volunteer5 serving in
the United States army, three persons whose
duty it shall be to visit the departments Of
the army In which volunteers from their State
Ghall be, and there procure from them such
aIlOtmsns Of their pay as they choose thus to
dispose Of. These allotted sums, when once
decided upon, shall continue in force through
ont the war, unless changed by formulas
which are specified In the act. The soldier
nag either allOt q part Of his pay to bis fam.
81, or be may have 1t invested monthly in
savings bank for his future use. The good
effects Of this system can hardly be over
estimated. Il relieves the families of those
who are away at the army, gives character
and frugslity to the soldier, enables him to
rest oontented in the certainty that those de-
pendant upon him receive the money be sets
Gphrt for their use aad it diverts a vast
amount Of money from the suffers pocket TO
the purss Of those who are so much moue
entitled 70 it. Our soldiers are we'll paid,
and having good clothes and abundant ra-
%iOns, they have need Of but little spending
money. 0ut Of the thirteen dollars which
Shs PriVates receive they do not need more
than four or ave, leaving eight or nine dol
lars per month with which to fill the hour
bsElal and wood shed at home. vIgm
Ths Commissioners appointed under this
act receive no compensation or smolumeuts
from the Government. o.

From the Riehmond Dispatch we clip the
following specimen Of rebel literature:
A iediclal blindness seemed to have seized
.upon the whole Yankee nation. Lincoln,
their choseu Prssldsut hardened his heart,
like Phsraoh, and EOEld not let the people
20. Instead Of yielding 70 the Suggestions
OF prudence and mOderstieni be adopted
measures Of savage violence, Which aoso-
lutsly drove Virginia and every other b9utas
EN- State oat Of the old eoufedslaey, and
forcod them 70 take up arms Ia defenes OF
thsir rights and liberties. Instead OF being
warned By the solemn attitade OF the Dor
dE stsiss, the whole Yankee population
vas sXcitsd 70 such pitch Of frenzy as had
never been heard Of outside lunatic asylum.
We believe that the day viii come when the
YANKEES viii read the accounts of their h0r-
TibIe- menaees against the purity OF the
6outhern households and the lives and hon
or Of Southern men ct the beginning Of this
,var. and confess that they were sIaring
rpasd raying Bedlamite8 and ct only for
,o.rsioht jsckets and mad house. Yet
1hia & the people who have always held
aheussIves up as the incarnation Of pure
ne1aop. and have affected to look down from
theft Iceberg elevation upon the sunny
Rorth e race Of impulsige, passionate be
Fura. Whe were mere children In compari
aon With shs wise, rational, self-restraininl
philosophers Of New England.
