the present month set in, the wind, what
little there was, has been pretty much

TIE LEADERS OF REBELLToN.-Of

rebellion, VIM. L. Yancey whose death
was recently announced, was one of the
abest as well as one of the most lndefa-
tigable. He was, besides, in more ways
than one, type Of the men who are en-
deavoring to destroy this country. 1t is
a singular fact that scarcely one of the
chiefs of the rebellion is without some
stain in his private character. John B.
Floyd, while Governor of Virginia, swim
died his State out of several thousand
dollars, in selling certain stocks entrusted
to him by the Legislature; Benjamin was
in his yonth thief; Slidell prostituted
his influence as Senator to push through
Congress the Houmas land grant, one of
the most barefaced swindles ever perpe-
trated in this country; Wigfall is a mur.
derer; Letcher drunkard Davis an i'm
pudent repudiator of debts Pickens a
ridiculous braggalt. Yancey was not an
exception to this rule he was a tried and
and convicted murderer. While still
living in South Carolina, his native State,
be had disagreement with his uncle, a
DR.. Earle, then living near Greenville,
and shot him dead, as the latter was ap-
preaching house on the verandah OF
which Yancey was sitting. He was con.
victed, imprisoned, and afterwards par
doned by the Governor.-Post.

REMARKS OF MR.. sHOBER,
Or Rowan,

On a Privileged question in the House Of Com
mons, on Tuesday, the 9th of January.
Mr.. Shober rose to a question of privilege. He
had this morning seen a statement in the Fayette-
vile Observer taken from letter of correspondent
of the Salem Press which misstated (no doubt un-
intentionally certain remarks made by him upon
the bill to establish the Office of Treasurer Of the
Literary Fund. He had not said, as represented by
this correspondent that certain bonds belonging to
the Literary Fund "became and remained mis-
placed" and that in consequence, a loss of from
seventy five to hundred thousand dollars had been
incurred He did, however, say, in the discussion
of the bill in question, upon information received
from the Superintendent of Common Schools, and
as a reason why the Literary Fund should have a
special financial officer, that the bonds and other
evidences of debt belonging to that fund.- had often
been placed in insecure positions-not that they
had become worthless, and loss thereby sustained.
lie had further said in the debate upon the SUBJ
