sions os human nature than by any show OF

They impose upon your credullty by telling
YOU of wicked aud even diabolcal intentions on
our part; of our desire to destroy your fee
DOM demoish your property, hbcrate your
slaves, injure your women and such like enor-
tmties.-al Of which, we assure you, is not

outrages perpetrated upon helpless women in

think that such things can be in this 10Th cen.

things which cannot be transferred to paper,
but which, sooner or later, must bring down
divine vengeance on their perpetrators. We
do not believe that Gen. Mcclellan is aware OF

Yattle Of Pittsburgh Landing.

Pittsburgh Landing is about eigh-
teen miles North-casterly from Cor
r:nth, which latter place is from ninety
to ninety-tive miles East of Memphis.
On the 6th' and 9TH inst. one of the
most desperate battles that has ever
been fought on this continent was
fought at Pittsburgh landing. The
enemy attacked our forces Sunday
morning with a force nearly or quite
double ours, and gained a decided VIC
tory over as during the day, driving
us from our camp, capturing our bag
gage and about 1000 prisoners. The
field was won, however, on Monday,
our forces under Gen. Grant having
been reinforced by Gen. Bucl. 1t was
an awful battle, and: speaking of tin
the light Of the gallant conduct Of the
men and officers, who fought, it was a
splendid victory;, but when we look
Mt theresult, and compar' the advantage
gained Will, the terrible cost, we {: are
sorely pressed with the conviction that
it is a bootless victory: Undoubtedly
Gen. 1Haheck intended to fight a bat.
Leland gain ! victory at Corrinth, and
as the result Of that victory he intend
ed to take tho Railroads that lie atsthe
mercy OF that place, and pursue his
victory to Memphis. Not one item OF
this has been accomplished The enc.

The committee on political prisoners have
ordered that Mrs, Greenhow, Mrs. Heath
and Mrs. Norris three female children o.
perdition, who have infested the atmosphere
o. Washington with the deepest, blacklist
treason, during the season just past, to be
sent beyendour lines. The evidence against
them is positive. Indeed, Mrs. Greenhow
eeniossed to the committee that she had been
engaged in forwarding information to the
reb.ls. Why such criminals are treated
with more lenity thar persons of the opo-
site sex, guilty. Of the same crime, Is not
clear to us we are not aware that the law
makes any exceptions: nor that justice,
mercy, or chivalry require any. 1fa NO
man voluntarily, and, as in the case Of Mrs
Greenhow, persistantly invoke the vengeance
Of the law, no reason exists why her prayer
should not be granted.
Treason consists in levying war against
the United States, or in udhtr'ng to Mei,
enemies, gir;ny them aid md c"~f,t So
saith the constitution War has been levied
against the United States, and those who
levied the war are the enemies Of The Gov
eminent This woman, according to her
own confession, has adhered, and still con-
tinues to adhere to those enemies o! the
Government, and, by giving them informa
ton beneficial to them, aud prejudicial to us.
has given them aid and comfort This she
does not deny, this she glories in. The law
fixes the penalty for treason. 1t is not :'to
he sent beyond the lnes,'' but it is DEATH.
Mrs. Greenhow refused to reveal to the
committee who her secret agents in Wash
ington were; but from other sources they
discover the names Of several, including two
ex-senators, and several members of con
Gress, one Of whom, tire report says. still
retains his seat. II this is true it is past all
endurance. How long will traitors be al
lowed to sit in our councils, plotting it's des-
sruction to meet around the public board,
TO fatteD at the public expense to betray the
government upon whose bounty their worth
less carcases are subSisting, with The, hypo-
critical smile? IF there is one member Of
the human family more to be hated, !oathed
snd shuned; upon whom the swift, devour
ing vengence Of his fellows ought to fall in
oil its fury; upon whom the whitening frown
Of God ought continually to dwell, that
person is he, who having been specially en-
trusted by his fellow men with the guar.
deanship Of all that man holds most dear
and sacred, has taken an oath, swearing by
and in the presence Of his God, faith .ully
and diligently to perform the duty imposed
by such trust, turns traitor to his constitu-
ents, his country and his God, using the
very confidence OF his countrymen as a
more certain weapon for their destruction.
That man, whoever he is, ought to be taken
out and hung to the first lamp post, and
thus end the matter.
