Feeling of the Soldiers.

The tory papers would have us believe that
the soldiers are tired of the war and anxious
for peace on any terms, in order that they
may return to their homes This is a part
of the plan to brow-beat the North into an
ignominious surrender to the demands of the
South. But we have the best of evidence
that this statement in regard to the feeling Of
the soldiers is false. An intelligent volunteer,
abiding to this subject in writing to friend
in this city, says truly that "none but COW.
ardly poltroon would think of giving up the
struggle without accomplishing the object
of the war on our part-the subjugation
of the rebels. That the soldiers are anxious
for the war to end, in order that they may
return to their homes, is true; but not till an
honorable peace has been conquered"
Tory editors and tory orators who are so
grossly misrepresenting the feelings of our
soldiers will meet with the retribution they
richly merit when our brave volunteers
finish the job they now have on their hands
and return home to the enjoyment of peace
and free, united country. Does our neigh
Dor, whose penchant for Office has made him
notorious, understand the import of these
words?

tWThe Courier has wasted considerable
sympathy over the brutal murder" of the
thieving, numbering Williams, by Gen. Mcneil,
heaping the foulest epithets upon the "perpe-
traitor Of the outrage" Below we
copy piece from the Louisville Journal,
the tone of which is somewhat different from
that of the Courier The Journal has re-
ceived the unqualified approval of the Judge,
with recommendation to his patrons to
patronize it. How does the Courier now
look upon its great satellite?
'.Let the President of the rebel Confeder-
acy consider what his people have done. 1t
is all affectation-it is hypocracy in him to
pretend to regard with horror the shooting
of the ten Missouri citizens. He knows that
Kirby Smith hung fifteen innocent persons
near Cumberland Gap and tumbled their
bodies into hole, not even assigning rea-
son for the awful deed. He knows that seven
Federal prisoners were recently shot or hum
in louisiana upon no other pretext than t. ai
they had enlisted in the United States Sc, .v;c.
in New Orleans. He knows that bis mer
butchered Gen. McCook uuder circar distance,
that have made the biood of TIE nation
run cold. He knr.ows that his guerrillas in
Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee, all
bear' ..g regular commissions in his Confeder.
acy, have been in the regular habit of rid
ing up to citizens houses, calling them to
their doors, and shooting them down or tax
ing them ont and hanging them to the first
trees, or cutting their tbroats in their beds
| by the sides Of their weeping wives and in
the midst of their sflrieking children. He
knows that hundreds and hundreds of muir.
ders of this kind have been committed by his
men, and still continue to be committed daily
and nightly He knows all this, and he knows
that the United States authorities have never
demanded the surrender Of the perpetrators
of the bloody horrors, or even threatened
retaliation. He now orders that the ten United
States officers first captured perhaps Gener.
ais, perhaps Colonies, perhaps Majors--shall be
sacrificed, unless surrender shall be made
that he is fully aware cannotpossibly be made;
and his object is to inaugurate demoniac
warfare, which, as conducted on both sides,
shall horrify and appal the nations Of the
earth, and compel intervention. Our gov
eminent may have need of the highest wis
dom in determining its own action in view of
these things a. .a -s

REBEL EFFoRrs AGAINST THE BLOCKADE
The Navy Department has received intelli-
gence of the activity of rebel agents in the
British ports. The rebels are in great
strait for munitions of war, and their plan
seems to be to concentrate large number Of
small, swift ocean steamers at Nassau, let
them start all together for one port, and get
in as many as possible. They believe that
by this plan at least half would successfully
run the blockade, and furnish them the need.
ed supplies. The government is strongly
urged to capture Charleston at once, in view
of these facts.
