Southern Barbarism .

The incredible stories of rebel atrocity
and barbarism at Bull Run are receiving
constant confirmation. 1t is settled that
the body of Major Ballou was taken up for
that of Colonel Slocum and the bones con-
verted into rebel trinkets. Numbers Of 9th
ers were served in the same way, and so
called ladies, rejoice in the possession of
trinkets manufactured out of human bones
At Pittsburg Landing the other day some
of our sick were killed in cold blood, and
with refinement of cruelty known only to
the most savage tribes. The hospital tents
were fired and sick men burned to death
while others had their heads set op fire =
Our prisoners have been fred at and killed
in Jail, and the provisions which flying
rebels have been unable to carry off have
been poisoned in order to thus murder
those who should unfortunately partake Of
them. The whole tone of the southern
press; the statements of many of the pris
oncrs, and the notorious unfeminine con.
duct of secesh women in those localities ia.
ken by our arms all attest the sad grade ci
civilization prevailing.
On Tuesday week the rebels came out
from their rife pits, in front of Lees Mills
near Yorktown, killing one Of our pickets
After he was dead about thirty of them
fred their pieces into his head, completely
riddling it with bullets,
Notwithstanding ali these and other
we'll authenticated acts of the southern
6ends, there are men in the North who
would welcome back these hellhounds as
citizens, who talk of them as " our brothers,
and would gladly get their votes to bolster
up the rotten and corrupt party leaders
lately in power
