The Difference.

The Yankee, McCook, who was lately killed
in Tennessee, was one Of the coarest ruffains
(not excepting the bandit Pope) in the whole
Federal army. He is the same man who, on
one occasion, said TO venerable clergyman
Of Nashville, "Your people shall submit, sir
or they shall all be exterminated. am your
master, and you are my slave" The butche-
ries which the Yankees have committed in try.
ing to avenge the death of this miscreant, pre-.
sent suggestive contrast to the conduct of our
own people, when Gen. Caswell one of our
most valuable officers, an estimabe gentleman
was lately assassnated in Tennessee. There
was excitement, no cries of vengeance, no
innocent people hung or shot, no retaliation of
any kind that we have yet heard Of. Such is
the difference between the two people.

Times, under date of 22d ult says that pub
tic attention there is turned only to one subject.
the Cotton famine, the war, the future of
Canada and the fate of England manufac-
turing and commercial nation, are all bound
up together. There is want and terror here.
In three months at the beginning Of Winter,
the cotton supply will be exhausted, the whole
population of shop keepers and artizens will
be as badly off as the factory operatives, the
rate payers will become panpers, and England
will have such Winter of famine aud distress
as no one has seen in this generation. With
this will be the loss, in large degree of the

by President Davis-oetweep Generals Lee
and HallecE in reference to outrages by Butler
in New Orleans, Hunter in South Carolina,
and Pope ard others in Virginia. Gen. Lee
calls Halleck's attention TO the murder of

Missouri by Pope's orders, and the hate orders
issued by Pope on assuming command in Vr.
gina, and accompanies his letter with the
General Orders issued at Richmond and
heretofore published. -
He returns Gen. Lees letter and the Orders
declining to receive them because couched in
language exceedingly insulting to the Govern

attempt to defend what cannot be defended or

The officers of Pope's army of Sepoys are
trying the only dodge they can invent in order
to escape the retaliation promised them on
account of the late murderous DEGREES issued by
their unprnciped master. Instead of wearing
their proper uniform they enter a skirmish
or raid habited in plain private, and if captured
claim to belong to the file. One of the fellows
was recently detected in the dodge and is now
safely looked up.
