4 The subjoined articles we copy from the
Republican" of the goth instant:
THANKS We are indebted to the Kindness
Of young lady of this city, who obtained
for us copy of the Richmond Enquirer, OF
The 18Th inst, and an issue of the Richmond
Wing, of the same date, for which she has
our thanks. We make the following selection
from the Wing, in an article on Conquered
Cities !" it closes thus:
:" Our object is neither to get back into a
Union with the North, or to conquer her, or
to wrest from her any portion Of her territory
1t is, as we have said, simply to avert from
ourselves the war Of conquest which has been
urged upon us, and to bring the struggle to an
end. We are, therefore entirely justified in
doing anything consistent with the dictates
OF humanity to secure these objects. We
have right and ought TO exercise the right,
to levy contributions upon Northern cities,
not only by way of indemnity for our own
losses, but in order to damage and cripple
our adversary. We have right to arrest
and deport Northern citizens, and hold them
as hostages for those of our people who have
been seized and immured in Northern dun
geons. We have right to appropriate and
impress everything necessary for the supply
of our troops thus relieving ourselves from
a great burden by transferring it to the shout
ders Of the enemy. When we declare these
things not to be accessons to a system Of con-
guest, or snbjugation, but instrumen talities
for procuring peace, the world will see,
that while they are just retributiqn to tn
Yankees hey .trc stTTcssy iay, fvzf d ,s xAss
The Northern people will discover themselves
that they have something more to dread in
continuing the war than the mere loss of life
or limb upon the field Of battle; and that the
concomitant honors Of the conflict, its evils
and its burdens may visit them at their own
doors, and even at their own hearthstones
In this way, we shall gain some real benefit
from an invasion Of theNorth, and, even if
compelled to abandon the Northern territory,
we shall leave behind remembrances which
will, questionless, entirely destroy our adver-
sarys taste for the war.
PARoLEs.-OP the transports which had
been to receive the paroed soldiers from the
Confederate authorities three arrived here on
Monday, having on board five thousand pris-
oners. They are from Belle Island, in the
James river. opposite to Richmond A num-
Der complain Of il-usage, while others say
they were treated as well as could be done
They were marched out to Camp Parole,
where accommodations are being made for
them. Three thousand more arrived on Tues
day Preparations are being made to receive
the Il 600 paroled at llarpers Ferry by the
Conlederates. There are now about u, O0o
here.
What the government intends doing with
them is a source Of much speculation among
the soldiers Some say they will be sent
home, Others contend that the able bodied
will be exchanged, and returned to their reg-
ments which seems most plausible, from the
fact of number being already exchanged.
Many Of them are in a bad condition, some
having no shoes, while others can boast of no
shirts. A number Of them have not been
paid by the government for a long time. They
do not pay much attention to whose property
from which they help themselves, as the farms
around their camps can show. A large num-
Der of the soldiers are without tents and suit
able clothing, but supplies are expected daily.
We have conversed, with several direct from
Belle Island, anu they state that they Jared as
well as the Confederate soldiers.
Is is stated that al Che oaroled FEDERAL sol
diers are 10 be brought the Camp at Anna
