Mr. George Thompson, N. f., writes from
London to the Boston Ls6e7ator:
/ have just become aware Of the existence
of society il. London, calling itself The
London Confederate States Aid Society,"" It
processes to be originated by Englishmen, and
Las issued an address "To the British Public
and all Sympathizers in Europe" have pro

And then, the following:
' 'Fe1low countrymen.' Remember that the
Southern chiEalry,' which asks your sympathy
and admiration, is composed Of the wrctehes who
pcrpetratc these atrocities the weak and defense

now rebel commissioner, On beholding this
placard,
*Grinned horribly ghastlg zmile,'
and, as soon as lie was able, got beyond sight

THE REBEL ADDRESS.
The address Of the Confederate States aid
association is a virtual appeal for pecaniary
contributions, to enable the rebels to ICON
tinue their war against their unscrupulons
enemies" It begins by charging the North
| with having "insulted, imprisoned, logged,
! violated and outraged the women Of the
South in the most inhunlan and savage man-
ncr'' Further, the North, in executing
ttcir fendish and denonilcal purpose, are
bent on mischief, robbery, murder, arson and
crimes Of the most revolving nature; gluttlng
their hellisl1 rage By ind1cting every kind Of
torture, spreading wild ruin, devastation, de-
struction and universal desol2tion, for the
purpose Of revenge and hatred. In their
fury, madness and malice, the atrocities,
cruclties, crimes and outrages committed
against the South are without a parallel in
tie history Of the world" After much more
Of the same sort, Englishmen are invoked,
in the names Of " Civilization, justice peace,
| liberty, u humanity and Christianity"
This anti-cl1nlax is followed by an appeal to
the women Of our country. Here are the
words: To rouse themselves toarrest the
| horrors Of the blood-stalned marh o. tyr
amy, anu TO rush to the aid Of the South
witll-their pence, slilliugs and pounds:'
Fai1cet and hest of earth! Fo. the sake OF
violated innocence and the honor Of Jour ee1. come
in womans majesty and omnipotence and give
strength to cause that has for its object tie high
EST ams-the amclioration and t3altation Of hu-
nanity.
"This address is followed BY statement OF
the case OF the North against the South,
which is thus put: The not-cxecution Of the
fugitive slave law was virtual dissolution o.
; The Union, and absoiycd tic South from thei,
allegiance to the national compact. The Re
publican party is .. politital eonspiracy. and nc

most every nation The South has no rival
!. either in commerce or in glory England
: neutrality has starred the South while i
J has rcplenished the North, The conduct Q
