Rebel Buster.


A late number Of the Charleston Is.
O. Mercury speaking of the anticipated
attack on Charleston, says
Nothing but the most assured convic-
ton Of their success will ever tempt the
Yankee army to come off Of our islande,
aud give us an opportunity TO meet them
in open field ON the main land. They
will now fight as they did formerly,
They have armed portion Of our slaves
to destroy us; and however weak and
futile this expedient of their war against
us may be, it makes all the officers of
their army fight with halters around
their necks. All who may be captured
by our troops win, according to the
Presidents proclamation, be turned over
to our State tribunals, as instigatOrs Of
instruction in the State, to be tried for
their lives. The Governor Of this State
will demand their delivery, for the en-
forcement of the laws of the State. We
presume not a man of them doubts, under
such circumstances, what will be their
fate. They will be hung in broad day,
as sure as the day Of their sentence ar
rives. All the officers of their army
must come out to fight us with this result
before their eyes. Will they be eager
to meet us in battle under such circum-
stances? viii they seek dangers in this
most dangerous of all warfares, when,
practically, to be taken a prisoner is to
die ignominiously? We doubt it.
This is very ferocious talk, and re-
minds us strongly of the speech of the
rebel Senator from this State, eagle
Orator" Henry, in favor of hosting the
black flag. HENRY said that there were
instances in history when the sight Of q
black flag chased whole army off the
field without firing a gun, and he be-
lieved il would be good policy TO hois
one The Mercury is trying the same
trick. II is determined TO scare Tho
Yankee army to death by threatening
the gallows. If tho fools should attemp
to carry out the threat, a descendant o
the Southern chiyalry will be prodigy
in the next generation, equal to whit
elephant. You walk on dangerous
ground, Mercury.

Tennessee, heaflily endorse the creed Of
loyalty as announced by Gov. JoHSsoS
in his tour through the North. Firmly,
and shoulder to shoulder, DO they stand
together, in the cause Of freedom. II is
not for them TO talk Of compromising
with traitors, who have destroyed their
State Government, burned their houses,
and driven them fugitives from home,
Let them talk Of Armislices, and Peace
Conventions, who have not seen the NOR
ster of Southern rebellion face TO face,
aud felt It's demoniac rage. The loyal
ISIS of Tennessee ask TO be spared the
infamy Of making concessions to the as
sassins who have struck at the heart Of
American liberty. Rather would they
die in the van Of battle,
"Aud leave behind name Of fear
Th1t tyranny shah quake to hear"

Lawrence County, Kentucky, which
lies on the Big Sandy River, is one Of the
hot-beds Of treason in tn State. The
Assessor of the Internal Revenue in that
county has encountered great difficulty

Colonel Of Federal regiment in that re-
gion, determined that the Assessor should

furnished him with full company Of
soldiers as body-guard, and, with
cleaning bayonots at his back, he is now
travcrsiug his district assessing without

The Springfield Qll) Journal has the
following hit at some dealers in this
city:
The Nashville (Tenn,,) Union says that
number of the leading mercantile firms
of that city, who were active in aiding
the rebellion during the reign of terror
are in great distress about the approach
ing term of the United States Court
They say that judgement against Them
for their Southern debts would ruin them,
as they cannot collect from their South
ern debtors. If this will ruin them, it is
but Just judgment upon them; they
robbed Northern men TO aid the South
in its treason; purchased large stocks of
goods at the North, at the commence
ment Of this rebellion, with the inten-
ton of never paying for them
Some Of these traitors we know per-
sonAlly-they were active members Of
the various vigilance committees and
other organizations for depressing and
driving out Union men.
We are told by official authority, that
certain well known rebel merchants not
only were guilty of bad faith to the old
government, but actually tried to de-
fraud their own bastard government by
giving in and swearing 10 list of less
than half their Northern debts, which
were to be paid over to the Confederate
authorities under the Sequestration Act

The 6ne old song of Jefferson and

very popular with The JEFFERsoNIAs
Democrats, who were an entirely different
race Of people from the bastard Copper

dark and odious Richmond dynasty shall
have been overwhelmed by the Union
armies, the redeemed South will clap her
hands and sing its nervous and thrilling
words which present most strikingly the
picture of a free government, where all hon-
est labor is respectable, and where no
odious aristoeracy exists:

BUY THE BEST.

THE subscriber keeps constantly on hand
1 those Railway Horse Powers and Combined
Threshers and Cleaners, which took the first
premium at the N. Y. State Fair for iS62, and
1t has also at every State and County fair at
which the proprietors have exhibited it in COM
petition with others, and this, we know, is
more than can be said of any other Machine in
the United States. Some of the advantages of
those powers are: low elevation, slow travel of
team, and of course ease of team. 1t is great
labor saving implement, and will save more
than twice its cost every year, besides making
hard work easy. A bor Is years old can use
it with ease. You can use any kind of horses
the second time loose, in Power without harness
es or halters, and with safety.
The Subscriber has had great experience with
all kinds of Horse Powers and Threshers for
the last Is years, and can safely say, taking all
things into consideration, this Machine will
whip the World, and do it easy, and one look
at it will be all that is wanting to make a de-
cided stand on what Machine to purchase. Ii
is painted with Indian red, and striped with
blue and white and vanished.
Those wishing these machines must speak for
them two or three months in advance, as the
orders on the Manufacturers are so large that
they cannot supply as fast as they are wanted.
