ELEVENTH VOLUME---NU MBER. 527.
TWO SPIRITED YOUNG LADIES.

Memphls correspondent Of the "Appeal, in
referring to the bad treatment Of citizens by the
federal soldiers, relates the following:
The most unmanly and brutal act that | know
OF Is their treatment of the two Misses Coe.
Levin Coe, their brother, was at home discharged
IRON the army They surrounded the house be-
lore the family knew they were on the place.
fortunately, young Coe had gone fishing, and two
OF his sisters escaped to the garden and ran TO
warn him not to come home The Yankees saw
the way they went, and followed them, but the
sisters outran them and gave their brother in
formation Of their coming, They came up with
the ladies at house in the vicinity of the creek,
anc attempted to arrest them, but they were both
armed, and dared the six big strapping Yankees
to lay their hands on them. One would say to
another She's got a pistol take it away from
her And she, weak woman, stood at bay and
told them to touch he, at their peril And the
craven wretches dared not do it. At last, to get
them from the neighborhood of their brother, they
agreed to 60 to headquarters with them. 1t was
then noon, and these girls had ran two miles, and
then these scouudrels marched them off on foot
four miles to town. At every step they tried to
get their pistols from them threatening them with
instant death if they did not give them up. Three
times they placed their pistols at the girls hearts,
with them cooked and their finger on the trigger
telling them they would kill them. Each time
the girls replied, Shoot can shoot as quick
as you can" And they never did give them up
until their brother-in-law came up with them and
told them to do so, and gave himself up in their
place. Levin Coe escaped.

MoRt TYRANNY-Sometime since, Lincoln
ordered all the political prisoners confined in the
various northern bastiles, except spies, to be i'm
mediately released. His reason for this act of
executive clemency, as alleged, was, that the re-
bellion was virtually crushed, aud that the Baboon
President could afford to display little magnani
nifty Since them however, the tables have been
turned Grant, at Shiloh, was terribly thrashed;
Banks has been routed in the Valley Fremont
and Shields Jared no better; and last, but not
least, Mcclellan, at the head of the best Yankee
Army ever put upon field, has been driven
thirty five miles with loss Of between 10000
and 40 900 men. This does not look SO much
like crushing out the rebellion, and Old Abe and
Seward have recommended their tyranny AS an
evidence, the Baltimore Sun of the 18th says the
State prisoners confined at Fort McHenry have
been sent to Fort Lafayette.

The PRorucE LoAN.--We learn that the
government has determined to require subscribers
of cotton and money to the loan to comply imme-
diately with the terms of their subscription
Heretofore the payments of this loan have been
at the option of the su5scriber-the suspension of
the collection being allowed by the department in
consequence of the low prices of produce and a
desire to facilitate the interest of both the sub
scriber and government. No further indulgence
will be granted, and subscribers will be required
to perform the obligations which they have
sumed.-Richnaond Examiner

A~oT1rFp ESCAPE oF pPTSoSll

ANOTHER ESCAPE OF PRIsoNERs.--Se
more of the political prisoners confined here,
effected their escape last Thursday night. AS in
the former instance so in this they took advantage
of a dark and stormy hour, and when the rain, as
they supposed, had unfit the guns of the guard
for service. They were discovered, however, and
fired upon, but without serious effect. One of
them has since returned. He can give no account
of the others, further than that two of them were
wounded by the guard-one in the hand and the
other in the breast.-.Salisbury Watehnsam.

Rsg- Although Mcclellan has been chief Cen
eral of the yankee army for some time past por-
tion of the northern people are disposed to doubt
his loyalty to the Lincoln Government. Since
his defeat at Richmond, he has been openly
charged with being a traitor Whether he is true
or not to the Lincoln Government, he did his best
to take Richmond, knowing that if he succeeded
it would make him the greatest man in the yam
kee nation. Mcclellan certainly did not fail
to take Richmond on account Of his dislike of
Lincoln and the vile men who advise him-he
failed because it was impossible to whip the Con-
tederate army.

FROM NORFOLK.

The Richmond Enquirer publishes an extract
from letter signed "A Virginia Girl in Norfolk,
| as follows
"The people of Norfolk are not idle even though
surrounded by the armed soldiers of the "Union ,
Our wounded in possession of the enemy are re
guarly visited by the ladies of this place, and
their wants asccrtained and relieved Their ab
sent friends may feel satisfied that they are we'll
taken of. Nor need those brave men whc
have volunteered in defence Of our dearest right.
and liberties, and who have left families here un.
provided for. feel that they not with friends
who consider it privilege to assist and relieve
them.
The yankees who have brought goods here for
Starving Norfolk, have sold the same for gold
and silver only, Or 30 per cent. discount on Virgi
MA money. City notes are utterly repudiated.
Her British Majesty's man-of- war, Jason, now
in our port, | understand, has prohibited the i'm
portation into Norfolk Of goods by the Yankee
government, unless foreign powers are allowed the
same privilege.
The people of Norfolk are as true to the South
as though no other government was in our midst
4 few Of the lowest characters in Norfolk and
Portsmouth, assisted by about 200 yankees, had u
grand procession here, few days ago, sin honor
Of the arrival of Gov. Perpont," the traitor who
pretends to preside over Western Virginia.
REFUSING CONFEDERATE MoNEY-We hear
of person, now and then, in this region, who re-
fuses to take Confederate money. That grossly
and criminally ignorant man whose heart is net in
the right place. should hesitate, is not very sur
prising. But that any with thmble full
of brains III his skull, who is not q Lincolnite,
should scrupe to receive Confederate money is
matter of profound astonishment to us They
surely have sinister design. There must be a
"wheel within a wEeer'-a desire to depreciate
Confederate paper and buy it up at big dis
count. We assert what every man Of sense knows
to be fact, when we declare that Confederate
notes is the best money in the South? Why?
Because the last particle of property-a the land,
negroes, stock, everything-is pledged for their
payment Your State paper may be good-Confed-
crate paper is unquestionably better. When it
ceases to be solvent, we would not give button
for a bushel basket crammed full of the best State
bank paper in the South. II it falls, it will tum-
BILE in the same grave in which lies buried all
your State bank money--the only difference being
that the Confederate paper will be on the top.
For our part would as leave have it as gold
or silver We have but single objection to Con-
federate money, and that is, we can't get it.
It is mooted question whether the man. who
refuses Confederate money should OF be deemed
traitor and outlawed. If this money is offered
in payment of debt and refused, there should be
law decming the tender payment.-4uHtom
Chronicle.

MARK TIE DIFFERENcE.-A certain portion
of the people of North Carolina are stigmatized
as "destructives," and the clique of which the
Raleigh Standard is the organ and Mr. Vance
the Gubernatoria candidate has determined to
put these people-these "destructives" down, at
the risk of divisions, heart-burnings and animosi
ties in our midst.
Now mark the facts. These so called "dcstruc-
tives' of the opinion that an electioneering
struggle now is unpatriotic, and whilst they are
disposed, therefore, to be quiet, the ' conserya-
tives' (?) pulling and hauling and growing
and making charlatans of themselves generally
Well, this may be conservatism" but plain man
would be led to question whether persons who
had time and disposition to indulge in such things
now, did not think far more of their own triumph
and the downfall of those whom they hate, than
they do of the liberties of the people. Are not
such suspicious warranted by their acts?
We ask the people of the State to look at it,
Look wherever you may, and when you find a
man preaching conservatism" after the style of
the Raleigh tStandard, you will find him bitter
and uncompromising partizan. Wespeak of the
leaders and those who hold forth. On the other
hand, when you meet q "destructive," as the
Standard calls the Southern Rights men, you
find man willing to sink, for the time at least,
all other points in the great interests of the cause

THE FATE OF INVADERs.-The fate OF Nc
Clellan's army-the sickness and casualties in all
their armies; the thckly increasing deaths from
numerous causes everywhere among the invaders,
lead us to believe that righteous God is punish
ing them as such invaders have ever been pun
ished few instances will suffice:
Xerxes invaded Greece to subject it to bis sway,
with an army estimated by the best authorities at
5,288 ,320 fighting men-including the usual
attendants, over 100000. In one year this vast
multitude was reduced to 3 100000, and even
tua!ly of these only about 5000 escaped destruc-
ton! So ended his attempt at subjugation.
France invaded Spain with, altogether, over
6O0, 900 men, and was expelled in few years
with less than $4,000 survivors And so ended
this attempt at ubjugation.
Napoleon invaded Russia with 400, 900 of the
best troops ever gathered together, devoted to the
fortunes of leader whom they esteemed insinci-
BILE. Forty thousand only escaped-poor, weary,
and broken down in spirit, one half of whom died
within a year SO ended that invasion of an in-
dependent nation, by the greatest captain OF the
age"
Looking at these examples Of the fate OF the
tapoder, and ir view Of the prospect now opening
within our own borders, can not wildly realize,
even while we continue to fight our own "battle of
freedom" that the sway Of the transgrcssor is
hard" and that the controlling hand of the God
of Justice directs the affairs Of nations Let US
reyerertly bow to the fiat-"Vengeance is mine,
