Rebel RarbaritIes.

The Memphis Bulletin reports that the
fiat boats on which the sick and wounded
of Gen. Curtis army were brought down
the river, were, though flying the hospital
flag, fred on by men, or more properly
fiends, from the bank. Our men cried out
to them to stop-pointed to the yellow flag
and begged them for Gods sake not to fire,
as the boats were loaded with sick and
wounded men. But the touching appeal
availed nothing-voley after volley was
poured into tho defenseless hospitals, with
out their being able TO return a shot
Slowly and steadily they foated down tho
current, unable to escape the leaden storm
unable to hide or shelter themselves, una
bic to increase their place and get out o
range of the remorseless, merciless ruffian,
who were numbering them in cold blood
All they could do, was to lie still and take
it, each one wondering whether his turn
would come next, until the firing attracted
the attention of the rear guard, when the
pitiful towards ceased their slaughter, and
ran away like whipped dogs. Why won't
some Englishman take this as text, and
enlighten the British public on the subject
Of the barbarism Of the Northern troopsl
In this wicked raid many of our men
were wourded-one, Captain, it is feared
mortaly. Confederate loss, none. Bril-.
liant engagement!

The Right Step.

We learn, on good authority, that Gen.
Nelson has ordered five hundred negroes,
belonging to rebel masters, to be sent to
bim for the purpose of putting them to
work for the benefit of the army. We are
no. informed as 10 the work they will be
required to do, but suppose they will be
made to aid in rebuilding the bridges des-
troyed by the rebels, and to construct for
tifications. 1t might be good plan TO
fortify Murfreesboro. General Nelson has
done exactly right in this case, and we hope
his example will be extensively followed by
our officers. Why don't our satboriiies here
find work for a few bundredi They might
be usefully employed, for ourselves, while
at the same time they ara kept from aid
ing the Confederate Government. We
hope the matter will be attended to prompt
ly. General Nelson has given strict orders
we learn, that DO loyal mans slaves shall
be taken, and the same rule would Of course
be observed here. This is the policy

The indianapolis Journal gives the fol
loving par,iculsrsof the killing Of MeiFord
and Carney, two Of the Indiana traitors who
guided and assisted the rebel guerrillas in
their attack on Nevburg:
While the rebels were carrying oh the
plundeT they had taken from the hospital
md such private houses as they bad rob
bed, and Just before they started with the
second boat load TO the Kentucky shore,
these two villains went 10 coffee-house and
took drink, remarking to the bar-keepei
that il was the last drink, they ever intend
cd 10 takc 10 the town, prophecy which
was speedily fulflled 10 manner very diff
erent from what they expected. As they
came out they were seen by a young coun
tfyman, who had hurried intothe town will
few others to defend Il when the news o
the attack got aboard, and he said thel
should never leave the town alive. He wa
armed with an old-fashioned large bor'
rife commonly called the ''yager," and a,
the traitors were making their way towards
the boat he drew a bead on Mefford and
shot him, tho ball passing through bis hips
The traitor fell mortally wounded, but mol
dead. Carney made dash for the boa

rusty old muskot and bayonet stepped
out and fred at him. The ball struck him
in the breast, killing him instantly. The
man then walked up to Meford, who was
lying close by, and stabbed him with the
bavonet two or three times, but not fatally
Mefford was taken 10 his house and left
there Cor some time, but the citizens were
so perfectly enFaged that to prevent bis be

Of the Warrick Legion, determined to take
him to Evansville. He was placed on a

he was lying there voice in the crowd

perished two traitors, who had guided the
enemy to their own town, and assisted them
in attacking and plundering their own fell
low-iowpsmen. II WAS a bloody but q Just
retribution. We cansot approve the bayo
netting and shooting of ths wounded traitor
richly as be deserved il, bct before it b
too harshly censured let the ceusor imagine
how he would feel if be had beeu subjected
to the same outrages that these people ol

In various parts Of Tennessee which ar,
the fayorite rendezvous of guerrillas, there
are largo quantities Of the old crop, and
ine prospects for the present season. The
rebels gather at these points and their sym,
pathizers furnish them gratis with immense
quantities Of provisions. We talk Of star
wing out the rebels, and yet we assert that
these guerrillas are as well supplied with
corn. wheat, and fresh meat as we are. and
supplied at much cheaper rates. Now is il
right to suffer oil this provision and pro-
vender 20 fall into the hands Of the guer-
rillasf They are taking it now; and un-

A GUERRILLA MURDER.-The guerrillas
who operated at Tompkinsville had gone
about mile and half to a house, and
called for some water, when young lady,
a Miss Stevens, took water out to them
They asked her if she had seen any Lin
colnists pass there. She told them no, but
she had seen some Union men pass there.
The rebels then asked where they were.-
She said she did not know, and if she did,
she would not tell them. One of the par
ty then shot her IN the stomach Nth seUen

Brigadier General Dodge is applyingthe
true remedy in Humboli, Tennessee, to
traitors. We find the account 10 the Chic
ago zribuass letter from Cairo:
Two hundred Of Jackson's cavalry came
to tho house Of wealthy man named
Bradle, residing near Humboldt early yes
terday morning, and as he was about start
ing to pilot them to the bridge inside Of
our lines, he discovered a party Of six or
seven Federal scouts riding towards them !;
coucealing himself behind fence, Beadle
directed tho rebels to an ambush, from
whence, upon tho arrival Of our men, they
could bounce upon and capture them. This
plan, however was frustrated By young
slave of Beddle, s0ho at the risk ofhis o'0'l
life started across the cornjfeld and oorned
theFederals oftheir peril, who at once turn
ed back, hotly pursued by the rebels. Only
three Of our men succeeded in reaching
Humbolt safely. One received ball in
the breast with which ho rode six miles,
diving soon after he reached the town.
The other two were probably captured, as
they have not been seen. A portion Of
the rebels then proceeded TO the bridge, six
miles from Humbolt, driving of the small
force stationed there, and set FIRE to it,
Our men being reinforced by small party,
drove the rebels back to the river, where,
they in time were reinforced, and the Fed
erals again driven back, and it was not un-
I'll our troops were reinforced from Hum
bolt, that the rebels were put to fight.
Scouts were sent out, and Beadlo and
four others who guided the guerrillass were
caught. The following dispatch furnishes
the story;

curlo.l,le. Of ,he Earth.

AT the city Of Medina, iu Italy, and
about four miles around it wherever the
earth is dug, when the workmen arrive at
the distance Of sixty-three feet, they come
to bed of chalk which they bore with an
augur, FIVE feet deep. They then withdraw
from the pit before the augur is removed,
and upon its extrication the water bursts
up through the aperture with great violence,
and quickly fillsthe newly made well which
is effected neither by rains nor drought
But what is most remarkable in this opera
ton is the layers Of the earth as we descend.
At the depth of fourteen feet is found the
ruins Of an ancient city, paved streets,
houses, floors, and different pieces of mas.
ouic work. Under this is found a soft oozy
earth, made up Of vegetables, and at TWEEN
ty-six feet, large trees entire, such as wal
nut trees, with the walnuts sticking to the
stems, and the leaves and branches in a
perfect state Of preservation. At twenty
eight feet deep soft chalk is found, mixed
with vast quantity Of shells, and the bed
is eleven feet thick. Under this yegeta-
bles are found again.

Ohio Statesman, which said:
"The worst discouragement that can be

To this the Register replies in substance
that "no one asks for volunteers to fight
for the negro" The question is whether

to do the latter. Shall we not allow them
