Of hearts by the tenderest and most pre-
cious ties of nature Look at the fatal
cup brcwed for your lips and the deadly
banquet TO which you are invited They
are filed with a venom more swift in its
workings than the fury of the viper, or
the poison of the asp. Al your stand as
a loyal member of the Union was highly
embarrassing" TO the cotton lords, and
they were determined to drag you out Of
the Union into their rebellion. in the
language of the Memphis AUalanchc they
were "resolyed to have your territory at
whatever cost of blood and treasure. The
people are not a necessity, but the territory
is =" You were to be forced into the re-
bellioD, your fields were to be overrun
with the troops Of Davis, and then you
were TO be devastated by long and
bloody war. Yes, Davis exulted in the
thought that IL you were with him that
he could maintain a protracted war
within your boundaries and exhibit to
the world on your hills and valleys
frightful drama of fire and carnage and
desOlation. When we look infinitely into
this array of evidence we are amazed
and COMPOUNDED at the cold blooded and
atrocious ambition of the leaders of this
rebellion, who seem.to have fathomed
ihe lowest depths of ingratimde, hypOcri-
sy, treachery, and despOtism.

Rebel Prisoners.

A fri0nd of the prisoners taken at Fort
DonelsOn, and now at Camp Butler
Springfield, ILL.,, who has just returned
from said Camp, informs us, that they
are generally willing to take the oath of
allegiance to the United States Govern
ment in good faith. They acknowledge
that they were deceived by political dem-
agogues, that they now see their error
and many of them say that the United
States Government treats them better as
prisoners of war than the SO called Con-
federacy did as soldiers.
Our friend spent several days with
them, dining with them in the barracks,
and informs us that they are abundantly
supplied with good substantial diet. Our
friend is so well satisfied with their 10y
atty, i. G., those from Middle Tennessee,
with whom he is personally acquainted,
that he is of the opinion that their re-
lease and influence at home would do
more towards restoring true, loyal sem
timent than large armed force. We are
positive in stating our belief chat the Fed
eral Government has no malice, no re-
venge to crafty, 1t seeks nothing but
the establishment of the Union and OF
the Constitution, and of the uniform en-
forcement of the laws over the nation
And if any soldier in the tebel army will
candidiy and in good faith place himself
in the ranks of the loyal party, we will
welcome him with open arms II is "a
all loyal men matterof deep regret that
so many Of their fellow citizens have
gone astray, and they will hail their re-
turn to loyalty with joy. We have fought
the rebels not because we loved them less
but because eve loved our country
more But are compelled to add, thal
JEFF. Davis proclamation releasing all
returned rebel prisoners from their pa
role of honor, or from any oath of allie
glance they may have taken, may place
serious difficulties in the way Of the fu-
turc release of prisoners.

Researches in the State archives are
revealing some facts and letters which
will place various distinguished gentle-
men in different States in an unenyiable
light. We have now before us a letter
signed "Y. . dated Louisville, KY, July
4. 1861, and addressed TO Gen. s. Il. An
derson, at Nashville. The writer inten-
ded to remain iacogaito, but unluckily the
Secretary of State endorsed on the letter.
r. MCKEE, at that time editor of the
notoriousLo louisville Courier Mr. Mckee
appears to have acted as a regular cores
pendent and spy for the rebels in Nash
Vile. He says:

There is also another letter from Nc
Kee, giving items which he and his
friends had succeeded in pumping ON OF
Federal officers and Union men relative
to the military movements of the Federal
Governments During the time Mr.. Mckee
was writing these very letters he pro-
fessed, through the Louisville Courier,
which he was editing, TO entertain the
profoundest regard for the wishes and
welfare of Kentucky. He was not only
a rebel, but hypocrite and spy. We
believe that he is still going at large in
Louisville.

The "sobcr second thought Of the
masses who have been deluded into the
rebellion, will find food for digestion in
the "reminiscences of the reign Of terror
in this city, which we have been repub-
fishing for several days. In times Of
great excitement, when depression and
fear on the one hand and yindictiycness
and ferocity on the other, whirl tho
judgment and reason of the populace
down their resistless current, the most
atrocious things may De said and done,
almost without notice, which az other
times would chill the very soul. II is
we'll to remind people what the mischief

A prIviIeaed order.

"When a priest once said . celebrat-
ed Bishop, commits an offence the peo-
pie should cast down their eyes and keep
profound silence" That is exactly
what the big rebels say to the little reb-
els and 10 the law and order men. They
claim the privilege of doing things which
they would hang any one, else but their
own aristOcratic clans for doing. They
Danish men, they threaten them with d
short shwift and long rOpe," with "cold
steel and bullets" with confscation and
disgrace for not endorsing their deeds of
treason. 1t is all very proper for them
to do so, for they are the priv legged Or
der, the oligarchy, the aristocracy. But
let the law raise its hand against rebel
and mad howl of rage and persecu-
ton alarms the land. Oh no, it will new
er do to punish elegant gentlemen like
Davis, and his clan, the sweet-scented
gentry must go scot free. The people
must not be suffered to stare boldly at
the shame and disgrace of aristocracy
They must Cast down their eyes and
maintain profound silence" What bus
mess have vulgar mudsills in looking
at the crimes of the lords of the Confed-
eracy?

Your friend

What further comment need we make
on this letter? 1t speaks out, in thun-
der tones, its own infamy and the infa-
my of the oligarchists who were ep-
gagged in the great plot of destroying the
liberties Of Tennessee. Il stamps DAVIS
and HARRIS, and Henry, and their assoc
ciates as the foes of democracy, and base
traitors to the people who had entrusted
to them their dearest interests. II adds
another link to the already long chain of
evidence which has been put on record,
that this internal rebellion is the work of
disappointed politicians, determined TO
hold on to- the power from which they
had been driven by the people, even at
the cost and sacrifice Of the liberties OF
the people, and of that Government
which they had established
But that portion which relates to our
sister State Kentucky, we commend es-
pecially to the earnest consideration Of

Trenchery OF -the Southern Rebel
LeRders-Yaneey Emphasized.
A late telegraphic dispatch in the Paris
papers from England discloses the infa-
nous treachery of the Southern Commits
sioners who were sent TO Europe to obtain
the recognition of the Southern Confede-
racy, These men YANoEY, RosT and
MANN, have been guilty of attempting to
sell out their constituents for the purpose
Of obtaining their own elevation to pow
er. Read the dispatch:
PARIS, 2.-The Independence Beige as
serts that "the Southern COMMISSIONS re-
have informed the English Government
that in return for a recognition of the
Southern Confederacy they would estab-
lish most absolute free trade for fifty
years; abolish the external slave traffic
and emancipate all the blacks horn after
the recognition" These offers, however,
will not determine Lord Palmerston TO
abandon his policy of neutrality.
What a stupendous piece Of scoundrel-
ism ! The leaders promise that if they
are made secure by the help Of British
soldiers, the slaves of the people may be
turned loose if England prefers it, They
are perfectly willing TO ruin confding
people, provided they can hold the reins
of government When will our people
open their eyes 10 Che true designs of the
rebel oligarchy? They are The deadly
enemies of popular government, and will
do anything 10 aggrandize themselves.
