Brutality of tho southern YahoOs.

brutality "a SAo SOWSAG1A 0hAOosa
A correspondent of an exchanged New
York psper-gives the following account
of the manner in which the rebels fixed
their Qualifications at Yorktown, which they
didn't have the manliness to defend:
cannot close this without mentioning
Que incident which will brand forever in
history the character of the foe with whom
we have to deal. Gen. Butterfeld was
General of the Trenches on Sunday, and in
charge OF Yorktown after its evacuation
The troops found scattered Rbout,-not at
random, but carefully placed, so as to be the
most destructive-great quantities of torpe-
does, charged with explosives and so ar
ranged with wires that on being handled or
stepped on they would explode. A large
tree, around which horsemen would natur-
ally congregate for shelter, was complete
~ surrounded by them. They were placed
in narrow portions of the road or near
wells, and wherever individuals were most
likely to go. They were found in carpet
bags, in -four barrels, in corn and coffee
sacks, in officers trunks, &C., &C. One was
placed just where the telegraph wire, which
had been cut, entered the ground-and ex-
ploded as the new telegraph operator went
to take possession, killing him instantly
Seven or eight of our men have lost their
lives already from this cause. The en-
frances to the magazins have been so ar
ranged as to make it almost certain that an
explosion will follow any attempt to open
them ;-they have, therefore, been placed
under guard, and have not yet been dis
turbed.

vananalngnam too much ola Load

VallRndlngham too much OF a Load
The New York Leader, the Democratic
paper of that city, in reviewing the Demo-
cratic Address, says of Yallandingham:
Two things we know, however, and
these are. that DemUCrats patriotism, ike
woluans virtue, should be above suspi-
cion; and, that, as it is Mr.. VallRnding-
hams penalty or misfortune to bear very
great weight of public odium, by reason Of
doubts as to his loyalty to the national
cause, be ought not to ask the Democratic
party to shoulder the load. If he is
wroDged, his innocence will appear in due
season /; if he has been unfaithful, he de-
serves all the condemnation he can receive.
Meanwhile we respectfully suggest to him
TO be a little less off1cious, and to let those
be spokesman who are beyond even suspi-
cion. The Democratic party at the present
time, less than any other, is not TO be run
for any mans benefit, and least of all for
Mr.. Vallandingham's. ~-..4.s -.
Judge Law, in attaching himself as tail
to Yallandingham's kite, will find that he,
too, win be regarded as too much of load
for the democratic party to carry, and he
will be laid on the SHELF to give place to
some man who thinks more of his country
than party, and who is not afraid to ex-
press hearty desire for the suppression OF
the rebellion and the complete triumph OF
the government

E3- We commend the article from the
New Albany Ledger to the careful perusal
OF our friends of the Vallandingham, Law,
voorhees,, & Co., persuasion. Il will be
seen that the Ledger dispises the circular
of the a" fourteen Democrats" and is in
favor of putting down the rebellion. And
while it has word of condemnation for
Abolitionists in general it despises with still
more heartiness the secessionists.

The Border State Unionrsts.

The New York Times, in recently making
allusion TO the approved loyalty Of the Border
Strte Unlonlsis. expressed the opinion that the
assured salvation Of the Federal Uniun was
mainly due to their constant patriotism 10 the
hour of trial, when so many OF their more SLuth.
srn compatrlols proved faIthIess. In The judy.
Inc nj OF our intelligent contemporary, rays the
National IntetLIg encer, It was nothing but the
position helc with such undaunted hrmress sHd
bravery by the Union men Of Tennessee, KeH-
lucky, Missouri, and Western Virginia, which
aVaIIed to keep back the tide of rebellion from
sweeping up TO The boundary VI the Northern
States.
IL is apparent to every mind that the war
would have aSsum ed tar other PfopOTtSns. alike
IN its material aud moral aspects. II il had been

and valuable than the military sccessions they
contributed TO the physical infcc Of the loyal
States. The passionate character OF the whole

eyes Of the world. by The simple tact that slave
