exult at the conversion Of Judge GUILD!
Seriously speaking, we think it would be
a great outrage on the feelings Of thou
sands Of Union Exiles from Tennessee,
now wandering over the land penniless
and homeless, TO release these rebels II
they do regret their enormous guilt, we
are very glad oft, They ought to regret
it. They have robbed us of millions Of
money. They have murdered thousands
Of our ow-citizens in cold blood.
They have Convulsed the nation with a
frightful rebellion, and have done more
mischief than they can repair werethey
TO live thousand years. But their con-
fession is most important and should
awaken serious reflections in the minds OF
Secessionists. Let all such treasure up
the admission Of these Tennessee rebels
that the people of the South have been
deceived by the rebel leaders, that The
North is sound, conservative and just,and
that The war will end at once as soon as
the South shall be informed of the true
feeling of the North. We append to this
article paragraph from the Detroit i'd

We refer TO Generals Barrow and Harding
and Colonel Guild, Why are they not thrown
into fGted dungeons? Why are they no

higher authorities at Washington should b.
called to this matter.
A contemporary states that the officers re

more reason Why they should be kept il
