that the conservative compromise peace

We thank our correspondent sincerely
for the complimentary opinion be ex.

Well, we hope in a few weeks to present

this suggestion? Here is the paragraph
of the Times. It's author deserves to
have it branded upon his forehead, and
be whipped TO the tune of the Rogue'a

should look after the interests and wei

Rebel Murders In East Tennessee.
We learn, from an objectionable bri-
vAts source, that three citizens of East
Tennessee were murdered in cold blood
by apArty Of rebel soldiers a few weeks
ago.
One Of their victims was ToL STAPLES.
Esq, an old man hear sixty years of age.
for many years Clerk of the Chancery
Court of Scott county. He was a gem
tleman Of unblemished reputation, and
great influence. He became obnoxious
to the rebel authorities for his firm and
fearless loyalty, so a squad of soldiers
was sent to his house, who arrested him,
hed him to a tree, and shot him!
About the same time Major Duncan.
Capt Cross, and private DAVIS of tbe
9Th East Tennessee Infantry were cap
tured by party Of rebels. Cant Cposs
escaped, but Major DuNoAY and DAVIS
were tied up and shot dead, after being
made prisoners.
Surely retaliation in kind upon tbcs,
villains would be jusufable. II appears
10 be not only justGable but absolutely
demanded by the highest considerations
Let some OF these murderers be shot in
like manner and they will soon learn to
respect the usages Of civilized warfare.
The lives Of our people must be pyotetc-
Cd Ulemency is all thrown away upon

OPERATIONS AGAINST WILMINGTON.

1t longer secret to the enemy says the New York
Commercially that Gen Foster with very large force is
proceeding transports and by the overland route to the
attack upon Wilmington. The enemy is already aware
that there is large feet of vessels Beaufort bar
bor and among these vessels are the Montauk and
Passaic.
Wilmington IN CO. isaccessible by boats by two nlets
although probable that this inlet at the mouth of the
Cape Fear river will be chosen inead of New Inlet
distance above the coast the latter at this Of
the year somewhat dangerous for vessels drawing
nine feet of water The deencss Of tho mouth Of Cape
Fear river Forts Caswel and Johnson Both well

New Inlet
That portion Of the land fore under Gen. Foster
which has been embarked transports will doubtless
proceed to Masonboro Inlet which directly east of Will
miDgton, effect binding, and march across to flank
attack upon that city The other portion of the land force
will probably pursue the same that taken by
Gen Foster in his recent movement Godsboro, and
on reaching the railroad down upon Wilmington,
and at the time engage any rebel renforcements
that may be sent forward.
Gen. Foster it is added, has abundance of men and
means with which to accomplish his object
