THE WAY THEY TALK-A war meeting held in
Philadelphia recently, where of the bitter
and denunciatory speeches made against the
South. The speakers manifested the spirit of
demons than of men with souls. For instance a man
called the Rev. Mr.. Jackson spoke follows:
"Carry the to the knife to the hilt, and the
death of every rebel. There is place in my
heart mite of judgment in my brain, that is OPP
posed to American slavery. (Cheers) We ought to
be little severe the traitors, like friend
Butler down in New Orleans. He knows well how to
give counsel to the British minister's and learn South
ladies good manners Immense applause and
and it is not exactly the time to speak. Hang them,
hang them as high as Hannah. That is my motto and
what would do for the manufacture of hemp
This is specimen of the feeling entertained for US
by "norhern brethren! The people of the South
what they would get by submission. Our
young and old to be hanged, and such
Williams as Butler to be employed to teach "South-
ern ladies good manners"

ENLIsTMENTs AT THE NORTH of the
exchanged prisoners from Fort Warren Boston
harbor) state that previous to their departure for
the South, they had good opportunities of learning
the facts in regard to enlistments in the Fedora
army, and they fully confirm the accounts hereto
fore received from various sources In the city of
Boston stupendous efforts have been made to
stimulate volunteering, but thus far without prac-
teal result. Meetings of citizens are held almost
daily, and money is literally subscribed to the
bounty fund; yet this bait fails to tempt the
poorer classes, who frequently answer the appeals
to their patriotism by asking the wealthy men
why they do not set an example by cnlisting them
selves! In some instances these meetings have
broken up in regular rows. Criminals have been
released from prison on condition of their joining
the army and every possible subterfuge is resort
ed to in the hope of avoiding general draft; but
the impression is that the quota Of Massachusetts
can not be furnished by any other means, and
hence the newspapers are laboring to convince the
public mind of the peculiar advantages of measure
which the masses universally condemn. state
ment has been put in circulation that thirty thou
sand men have already volunteered in the several
States, but this utterly at variance with the
truth that New York Journal refused to give it
currency and came out with fiat contradiction.
The guard over the prisoners at Fort Warren is
composed of paupers taken from the poorhouscs in
Boston and vicinity

clothes, took his watch and chain, returned to the
parlor, and impudenty told his master that for the
future he might drive his own coach. Cases are
reported where the negro women have attempted
to slap the jaws of their mistresses and it is quite
common for them to dress in their mistresscs'

was followed up on the same day, by an attack

FROM THE NoRTH-We have received North
ern papers TO the 4th inst. There is nothing of
importance from McClean's army. A regiment
crossed the river and destroyed the houses and
levelled the trees on the opposite side which had
screened the Confederate artillery the night OF
the last attack. The Confederate dashes are
going on bravely. They have captured Canton,
Mo-, and quantity of arms. They are also re-
ported to have Federal force surrounded at
Bloomfield, Missouri. The Governor of New York
is to issue his proclamation for drafting in few
days. Among those killed in McClellan's camp
by the artillery attack was one of the provost guard
at the Selden Mansion The Confederate firing
was too high to do much damage.-Rich. DIS.

Esa% We are indebted to a friend in the army for a
copy of the New York Herald of the goth ult We
find nothing in it of importance than has
already been made known to the public. This is the
second copy of the Herald have seen since the
commencement of the war--it is worth more as a
curiosity than anything else 1t is strange how
people will lie, practice in which the " Y Herald
was always pre-eminent, and the less so since
the commencement of the war But even that paper
has to confess that recruiting for the Lincoln army
moves on slowly.
FALsEHooDs.-We did not expect to again allude to
the Raleigh Standard but that paper on the of the
elecion-the day before the election-pnblished a
batch of charges against Mr. Johnston for eectoneer-
ing purposes, of which notice for the purpose
of saying that there is word of truth in them In
fact, the whole article to which aIude shows such
wanon and INSCRIPTIONS disregard of truth, that we
surprised to it in the Standard.
The Standard says that Mr. Johnston canvassed the
army in person. and expended his money freely in
fuence the election. Now, we say that Mr. Johnston
did such thing and the Standard has no authority
for its bare-faced assertion. Mr. John on has never
visited or been near camp Richmond Petersburg,
kinSton or Wilmington. These were thu only points
at which he could have cectoneered with the soldiers
and as he never visited either, the public judge
how much truth there is IN the charge of tire Standard
But how does the Standards candidate stand in this
respect? is notorious fact that Mr. Vance has been
electioneerng with the soldiers ever since he entered
the army, and since his nomination for the Office of
Governor, he not only eectioneered himself, but he
engaged others assist him. We know the fact that
some of his who off from camp on furlough
quite active in electioneering for him. While MIR
Vance has been heaped with fulsome praise for
in he he took adv Dtarp Of
to Feather his nest" BY electioneering. Why
didn't some of Mr. Vance hypocritca 'no party part-
zans denounce such conduct as that? With them it
was all right for the Raleigh Standard to abuse and
assai Mr. Johnston but when the least thing SAID
against Mr. Vance, their righteous souls became very
Indignant The Standard did the dirty work while
they lay low and returned thanks
