Treason Denned in CnIIrnrnin.


AT the recent session of the Legislature

was passed, defining what was treason in
that State:
"SECT1oN /. Every person who shall in

Hatred o. tne Germnna

We copy the following paragraph from
the Knoxville Register of the 18th of June.
1t is almost too scurrilous and indecent 10
be admitted even as quotation into re-
spectacle journal, but as it illustrates two
or three important truths, we trust our
readers will forgive the extract for the
sake of the uses which it yields. Here is
the paragraph:
Of late, in all the battles and in all re-
cent incursions made by Federal cavalry,
We have found the great mass OF northern
soldiers to consist of Dutchmen. The
plundering thieves captured by Forrest,
who stole half the jewelry aud watches in
a dozen counties of Alabama, were inn
maculate Dutchmen. The national odor
of Dutchmen, as distinctive of the race as
that which, constantly ascending to heav.
en-, has disteuded the rostrils of the negro,
is as unmistakable as that peculiar 10 a
polecat, an old pipe, or a lager bier saloon.
Crimes, thefts and insults to the women
of the south, invariably mark the course
of these sinking bodies of animated sour
kTOut. Rosecrans himself is an unmixed
Dutchman, an accursed race, which has
overrun the vast districts of the country
of the northwest. X
1t happens that we entertain greater
degree af respect for an Ethiopian in the
ranks of the Northern armies than for an
Oderiferous Dutchman who can have no in.
terest in this Revolution. X x
Why not hang every Dutchmau capturedP
We will hereafter hang, or shoot, or i'm
prison for life, all white men taken in com
maud of negroes, and euslave the negroes
themselves. This is not too harsh. No
human being will assert the contrary
Why then should we not hang Dutchnan,
who deserves infinitely less of our sympa-
thy than Sambo. The live masses of beer.
krout, tobacco, aud rotton cheese, which,
on two legs and four, on foot and mounted.
go prowlipg through the South, should be
used to manure the sandy plains and bar.
rem hill sides OF Alabama, Tennessee and
Georgia. < < Whenever a Dutch
Regiment adorus the limbs of Southern
forest, daring cavalry raids shall cease. Y
i President Davis need not be speci-
ally consulted, and if an accident of this
sort should occur to laundering band
like that captured by Forrest, we are not
inclined to believe that our President
would be greatly disgruntled.

IT is the inevitable result of Southern
institutions that the leading classes should
come to dislike the Intervention of the
people in politics. They are educated in
society which has no respect for human
rights, which holds that certain men are
born to be the servants of others. and
which naturally crystallizes into small,
compact and arrogant Oligarchy. ''The
establishment of the Coufederacy," said
the Richmond Enquirer of the Both ult., sis
verify distinct reaction against the
whole course of the mistaken civilization
of the age" For Liberty, Equality, Fra.
teruity," it proceeded to explain, "we
have substituted slavery, subordinatiou
and government" Thus, while other ma
tons are struggling to emancipate the
masses of their people from the old feudal
restrictions aud oppressions-whils they
are enIarging the sphere of popular rights,
yielding new privileges and new opportu-
mites to the many, this hideous abortion
of the South meditates the arrest and re.
versal of this career of progress.

Aud although there is president in the

Alliof our outposts have been evacuated

singular, indeed, if the loyal ueichbor-

Clarksburg should be thrown open TO the
mercy of the hired thieves of Imboden and
Jenkins lack words to express INV
feelings when we were ordered to leave
Weston unprotected. more loyal people
don't live than the Inhabitants of Weston
and vicinity, and if the Government will
give them arms, they need cot keep more
than one company of cavalry aud one of
infantry there, to repel all fears of The
thieViug jenkins. The citizens are willing
to protect themselves if they were armed,
Buchanan will do the same.
