on Linocln's anti-slavery policy, though
with abatsd yigor. We have copy ol

steady spirit Of opposition to .he infa-

If we continue in the right way now
we will never leavei it. The decision will

will be only from one stage Of madness to

shall assume savage and extermina,ory

The Vendetta in Mississippi.

The Starkville Advocate contains an
account of quarrel in Choctaw county,
Mississippi which resulted in the almost
complete eXtirpation of two families,
named Edwards and Gray. One Of the
Grays James, had married daughter of
Judge Edwards, and ono OF Judge Ed.
wards sons had married sister of the
Grays and died. Robert Gray, one of the
brothers, administered upon the estate,
and feud arose in consequence Of dis
putes about the administration, leading 10
a rencounter on Friday, Nov. "a, in which
Robert Gray killed Judge Edwards and
James killed one OF his sons; another who
participated in The fight being severely
wounded, and the two Grays mentioned,
and another named William, Suffering
still more severely. The Grays were taken
to the Jail at Greensboro the next day,
and a guard placed around II for security;
but on Sunday night the friends of the
Edwords stormed the jail, shot Robert ard
William, and taking james about mile
out of town. hung him. The citizens
brought his body to town and sent it, with
those of his brothers to their father, who
resides in Carroll county. Four widows
are the result of this horrible affair,

Lincoln and his Cabinet.

II is pretty certain that serious disa.

and his Sccretary.of.war, in reference TO
the radical and pcrilous recommendations
on the question Of slavery, embodied in
his report 20 Congress. The Now York
Herald, in alluding to the subjoct, ssys.
II appears that Mr.. Cameron, in his rA-
port. AS submitted 10 the President 10 bo
laid before Congress, recommended, 70 It's

CoChranc's late extraordinary speech at
Washington, in regard 10 tho slaves of
southern rebels. Col. Cochrane II is thus
manifest, did speak like one having au.
thoyity; for we ARE informed from source
which cannot be questioned, that Mr..
Camoron's propositions, intended iof Con-
cress, as from President Lincoln's Secre-
tary, oomprchended, under certain con
tingoncies the arming Of southern slaves
against their rebel masters, and embraced
this other revolutionary idea, to-wits that
IN whatever manner the slaves Of rsbok
may BE- used by the government, an con.
imbaDd OF war, they arc IN inct liberated
by the acts of their rebellious masters,
and should never be restored 10 bondage.
II is no wonder that President Lincoln,
was brough, TO s,ard by these novel
and extreme propositions. No wonder
that he does not like them. We are nd.
yised that Gen. Mcclellan, upon this vital
issue, is 10 earnestly in favor Of tho war

pose. Tho spectators were very busy,
snatching up all the leather and shoes
they could lay their hands on in all di.

From Knoxville.

CAMP Cook, Knoxville, Dec, %, lS;l.
FL PoH.-Supposing that our friends
are anxious TO hear from the "Haly
Rifles commanded by Capt. Burch
Cooke, have concluded To drop you a
line. We left Athens on the train, last
Thursday, and landed Here about dark,
all safe and sound. Capt. KAN, of Knox
vile, had put up our tents, and prepared
us a warm supper, for which tender
him the thanks OF the company. All
along the line OF the Rail Road our com.
phny was greeted by cheers and shouts,
ard the waving Of hats and handkcr-
chict. by men, women, children and ne.
groes.
After much UNNECESSARY delay. hard
work and reSation, We have roe our com
pany in pretty comfortable quarters
Some companies have been here two
weeks, and are not as pleasantly situated
as ours Was the next day after our arri.
val. In some of the military depart
ments here, there is much neglect, mis-
management, and tyranny. and some of
them are doing moro to destroy the
health, and subdue the proud spirit of
the brave boys Of the South, by neglect
and oppression, than can be done by ten
times as many Yankees on the field OF
battle take pleasure in stating that
Gen. Fain, Commissary General, and his
son, and Mr.. Patton are kind and gen
tlemanly, and are performing their yari-
Gus duties with honor to themselves and
the South, and they will be gratefully
remembered by thousands of poor sol.
diers who have perilled their lives and
their all in defence Of their country,
their homes, and their wives and chill
dren. But there is another class of mon,
who ars as selfish. unfeeling ana cold
blooded as fish, and will be remcm-
bcredsDy the soldiers with scorn, con-
tempt and loathing.
Our Captain has labored day and night,
with his hands, his head, and his purse,
in order to render his company of manly,
noble and gallant boys us pleasant and
comfortable as circumstances would adj
nit. There are several thousand volun.
teers in the vicinity of this place, and it
is generally conceded that Capt Cookies
is the star company, physically, mentally,
morally and religiously. Last Sabbath
was an unpleasant day, but many OF them
volunteered to 90 with me to church, and
their behavior was proper and gentleman
ly. On next Sabbath expect our en-
tire company to attend church. -
rell my friends who predicted that
could not staud camp life, that so far
have been fully able for duty, though
have bad cold, and not much appetite.
