From the Raleigh Standard.
THE FOE At HOME.

BY LUCIA.
All honor to the old North STATED
The steady and the bravei
Who doth her gallant sons give up =
Our dearest rights to save:
All honor to the patriot hearts
Who drain their Golfers dry.
That they may to our soldiers brave.
The needed help supply.
Not mine the voice one word to raise.
Of censure or of blame,
| glory in her gallant deeds.
Her well deserved fame:
But there are foes within our midst.
A dark and cruel band,
That threaten with their love of gold,
To desolate the land.
OH ye who've power to legislate,
Who make and charge our laws,
Now lay aside less weighty acts,
And make a common cause
With those who look to you for help,
With those who now implore,
A force to check the enemy
A foe just at the door.
With deep disgust you turned from him
Whose insolence did dare
To change into a tyrant's throne
! The Presidential chair;
+; And then in acts that holder were
Than mightiest words could be.
I With sword and cannon you declared
The South aoouM still be free,
! To you we look. Heaven richly smiled
Upon the closing year,
Ger hill and dell did golden grain
All beautiful appear;
Rich waving corn the fields adorned,
And heaps of yellow grain,
Before the mowers glittering scythe,
Fell on each bounteous plain.
Food, food enough for man and beast,
A gracious heaven supplied.
And nothing that our wants required
Was by His hand denied:
He thought Him of the soldiers wife.
Her grief, suspense and care,
And toll to earn her children's bread,
And kindly placed it there
Yet men-yes, men who loudly boast
Il Devotion to ouI cause
And willingness to shed their blood
For Southern rights and laws,
Do gather up this harvest store,
DO take these children's bread,
And still a poison which mi death
And desolation spread
A thousand gallons are each day.
(My cheeks with shame do burn.)
4 Within half a hundred miles
Are for the soldiers turned.
The price of bread is rising fast,
; And many with dismay,
/, Do see starvation's spectre form,
: Draw nearer day by day.
= oh does not war cause tears enough :?
: Does il not widows makeP
Does it not from his helpless ones
3 Full many a father take?
That men inflamed by fendish lust,
Should liquid fire distill
From grain God meant to feed his babes,
4 In camp the sire to kill.
We may not ask his blessing,
d For help we may not look,
If on such deeds of death and wrong
Our rulers calmly look
Ye doom the pirate to the tree,
d The traitor to the ball,
IF New weeping wives and children
z To YOU for vengeance call
Come ballot-box, come right, come laws,
10 Come pulpit, press and song,
= Unite and put these traitors down;
~ Avenge your country's wrong.
1t Let darker dooms than erst has been
81 C1poo that xrh;oL ell - o.
On the distiller's head descend,

A late rebel paper contains the following
"a late number of Harpers Weekly con-
tains large cut representing the ironclad
navy as it will appear when completed and
aAoat. The sight of these monsters is
enough TO excite the gravest apprehensions
as to our coasts and seabosrd cities during
the coming winter. 1t is to be hoped our
Secretary of the Navy was aroused to take
a look at them.
"0ur rural districts are literally o7esruu
with partridges. They have not been hunt
ed since the severe winter three or four
years ago, and since the war broke out
there have been few people TO hunt, and
less to hunt with, lead and powder being
all in the hands Of the Government. There
would be splendid sporting now, if shot
were not selling at So 80 TO SO pound.
"There are but fifteen students at the
University of Virginia. All their leisure

New Orleans has been entirely free from
yellow fever this season, thanks to the ad
mirable sanitary regulations under General
Buffers administration Of city affairs. Ae-
cordihg to advices from Charleston, the yell
low fever seems to have progressed from
Hilton Head TO Charleston, and two hund-
red cases of it are reported iD that city
From Hilton Head it IS said tbs fever has
aba;ed, at Wilmington, N. c., It was on the
decrease, and at Key West it had entirely
disappeared. 1t is thought that the pres
snee Of the fever at Charleston will not sus-
pend the operations Of the u. s. forces now
in progress against that rebel city. The
season viii be 50 FAR advanced BY the time
the expedition can. be got ready, that the
city may be occupied with safety. General
Beauregard seems TO apprehend the proba-
be issue ofthe assault, in ordering all non
eombatants cut Of the city before the at.
tack begins.

Grent naval Problem solved.

Last Saturday the naval authorities oI
New York tested the practieability of firing
the great 15-inch gun inside the tunet Of
the iron-cad Pa.saic, and with complete
success. Three shots were fred, with no
smoke in the turret to speak Of, and no in
convenient conclusion. The balls weighed
$50 pounds each, and the charge Of powder
was 35 lbs. The gun was handled by
Ericsson's new machinery, aud four men
worked l5-inch gun, weighing twenty
tons. The Monitors ll-Dch gun required
eight men to work it with the machinery
used.-Ericsson has made a revolution in
naval laboras well as warefare. The gun
ners are not exposed, for sosoon as the piece
is fred thick bali proofscreen is slid across
the aperture.

rhe Rerolnrion In Grecce.

King Otho has been deposed by the rev.
oIutionsists Of Greece, after reign Of thirty
years. With his fall the Bavarian dynasty
ends. The monarchy which was establish
ed for him by the Great Powers Of Europe,
be lost through bis own misconduct, and he
becomes member Of the large company OF
fugitive princes, in consequence Of the sud
den and irresistible uprising of his own
people On the 24th of October the King
fed from Athens, abdicating in favor Of
his brother Leopold; but the leyolutionisls
refused longer to recognize the Bavarian
dynasty, organized a provisioning government
and convoked national assembly. TLis
was the condition of affairs at the last ad-
vices-the nation independent, its king
driven into exile, a dynasty overthrown af-
ter 80 years of arbitrary rule, and the gov-
erumens disorganized and troubled. ~
1t is reported that Garibaldi has been
sounded as to his acceptance of the crown.
The result not announced.

PenetralIng one Interlor.

Our forces in North Carolina are pene-
trating the interior, evidently with the in
tsution Of getting possession Of the great
North and South line Of railway running
from Wilmington, in the extreme Southern
part Of the State, to Weldon in the extreme
Northern part. and so ranniRg up directly
to RiehnOnd. Our forces have captured
Hamilton on the Roanoke river, and DOW
threaten TArbOro, which is connected with
said line Of railroad by short branch
When that road shal be seized a very Sc
we're blow will be struck at the heart Of the
rebellion At Richmond--becsuse that road
is one Of the main aHeFies--And severe
blow viii be struck 10 North Carolina tIea-
son. Is IS highly probable Raleigh, the
Capital, is one Of The points aimed at BY
ouT Generals.

The condition Of the army is such as to give

clads. The inhabitants will be ordered 10 leave

flames, rather than be surrendered. So far as
can learn, both army and navy desire that the
rebels should take precisely this course, feeling
that it would be fit and proper that this treason
able city should be destroyed. The preparation.
for attack are so perfect, that there can be nc
doubt that one or more iron-clads viii succeed
in approaching the town at least within shelling
distance

Refnlia,ion.

The unwritten history Of the war in Ken
lucky is full of horrors. A correspondent
writing from Crab Orchard on the 3lst ult.
gave US some of the sad particulars of the
hanging of Captain H. King and fifteen
other loyal citizens by Kirby Smiths troops
on their passage out Of the State, in the
vicinity of the Cumberland Gap. 1t was
not pretended that Capt. Kings party were
guilty of bushwhacking or of engaging in
irregular warfare ofany kind, as they had
been organized only for the defence Of their
homes. 1t is but natural that such atroci-
ties should excite spirit of retaliation, and
that spirit has already been manifested.
On Thursday, the 9th inst, a party Of
loyal men visited the vicinity of Hackuey's IS
Corners, two and half miles from Big
Rockcastle River, and captured party Of
nine men, belonging to different corps of
the rebel army. Tho captives were held
in custody but short time, but were execu-
ted upon tree not far from the scene OF
the outrage perpotrated short time ago by
Kirby Smiths pckets. In fact these out.
ragged citizens announced their determine
tion 10 hang any rebel soldier caught be
tween Mt Vernon and London, and in the
execution of the nine men their threat wa,
carried out.
a perfect terror exists in that unhappy
portion of the State, and our informan
states that the residents along the public
thoroughfares are all forsaking their home
and seeking safety in the mountain wilds.-

The INDIAN ExredLtion.
VICTIMS OF THE EMAsSACRE-sHocRISG SCENES
corrcsponaenee OF the 81. Panl Pioneer.


REDwooD AerNcY, Nov /, 1862.
We are still finding victims of the Massacre,
A foraging party was out day before yesterday
on the other side of the river, and twelve miles
above here found the remains Of twelve persons.
In one house a skull lay upon the bed, and in
the same room was dead hog, which had pro-
badly been feeding upon the remains. Around
the premises were n couple of dogs. How hor-
rible the thought of these animals preying on
the bodies. One skeleton was evidently thato of
a very strong, powerful man. His skull was
fractured into bits. Cattle were running around
almost as wild as the buffalo.
An OK was lying on the ground writhing in
agony, and frothng at the mouth. The men
shot him, thinking that he had the hydrophobia.
Many of the dogs are said to have gone mad
Desolaton reigned supreme It would not have
been well for a "Lo'' to have made his appear
ance on that scene of their inhufnan bntchery.
Heuceforth, for many year i have no doubt
that on our borders Indian Hunters viii be
found who will emulate those of whom the car
ly history of our country tells, bent on war to
the death with the savage.
Men whose wives and children have been bru-
tally murdered and mutilated, homes desolated
forever, will never rest till blood has answered
for blood.
1t is supposed that there are many other bo-
dies still lying unburied above Beaver Greek.
Antoine Premier, on his way down from Yellow
Medicine to the Fort at the commencement of
the attack, while the battle at the fort was rag
ing, saw 81 bodies that he thinks have not yet
been buried. He went into a house to find a
match 10 light his pipe. There he saw seven
little children, the eldest not over eight years old
-Germans. One Of them, girl, was wounded
in the hand. They appeared TO be. stupid and
unconscious of their condition. He asked one
where her mother was and she pointed him in
the direction.
He went out Of the house, and, passing down
little path, found, closely grouped together, 81
dead bodies. The only living creature there
was little child on the breast of its mother,
vainly seeking for nourishment. Being alone
and beset by sayages, he had to leave them to
their fate-starvation.
The Indian camp containing several thousand
souls, and compo- ed principally of women and
children, is pitched close to ours. Nearly in
the centre of it stands the blackened walls of a
church, which charitable and pious hands built
for their edifieatiOn, but which they ruthlessly
destroyed.
