We are informed that the Yankees have
resorted to poisoning the negroes that they
cannot make available. Our informan,
says that some FIVE thousand negro women
and children have been thus disposed of
since the occupation of Natchez by the en-
envy. Our foes should not boast of human
ity If such is the course they are pursuing.
it must be evident to all. that the love they
bear the negro, is akin to the murderer,
who gives friendly grasp of the hand to
him, he is about to send to eternity. Free
dom, is high sounding word. though many
are ignorant of its true meaning and conse-
quences. Yankee-like our enemies breathe
this word in the poor negroes ready ear,
and he becomes infatuated, and falls an
easy prey into their treacherous machina-
tons. The poor deluded creatures how
ever, learn when it is too late, that ''all

Gen HOlmes.-Last Friday evening quite
Il number Of our citizens called upon this
officer at the rooms of Gov. Flanagan. and
spent some time with him in familiar con,
versation. We would have liked much
that every man in the county could have
been present. We think they wOud all
have left with better feeling towards the
District Commander than some of them
have entertained.
The General cOnversed freely upon the
difficulties he had encountered. from the
citizens themselves. and eXhortcd them to
lend their aid in sustaining the numbers
and discipline of the army. pledging him.
self to do all in his power to suppress ont
RACES and defend the State. He earnestly
represented that if the people in the coun-
try exhibit opposition to the conscript law,
and screen those who endeavOr to avoid it
and if they encourage and shelter de-
serters from the army. and for their own
purposes oppose and thwart the lawful
commands of the military authorities. the
army will be rendered inefficient. and be-
come unable to defend the country. If, on
the other hand, they assist in bringing in
conscripts and deserters. and in every man
ner discountenance those who shirk their
duty. and honestly endeavOr to send them
back, the army will be kept up in its tull
strength, and be able to make an efficient
stand or drive the enemy from the State.
He advised the people not to runaway,
but to remain quietly at home, and cult
vate their farms to the full extent of their
ability. He urged upon all who might suf-
fer improper treatment at the hands of SOL
diers, to make complaint at once to the
commanding officer, and if they failed to
obtain redress. to report the case t0higher
authority. He seemed anxious and deter
mined that everything of the sort should
he effectually stopped. Washington (Ark.)

During President Davis visit to Brandon
we had the pleasure OF meeting him AT The

Patrick Henry. and in conversation with
Mai. Maxey concerning the fall of Nicks-

least-he is one of the most gallant and
skiliul generals in the service. Ficksburg
was not surrendered because of the want
of provisions and ammunition, but because

When the President visited the army be
fore Chattanooga he took Pemberton along
with him. probably for the purpose OF as

Can any Of our readers peruse the fol-
lowing. which we find in an exchange, and
not shudder at the cruelties and barbarism
Of people protesting the principles of
Christianity:
The CONSUMPTION in the North has not
yielded many soldiers, and of these not a
few are being shot as deserters. A shock
ing but significant scene took place at one
of these executions. Two substitutes. sent
from Boston, were condemned to death as
deserters, and the 18th of September was
nxed upon for carrying out the sentence.
With the usual parade the men were
brought to the place of execution, their
eyes bandaged, and one was seated on his
coffin, and the other, knceling beside his.
audibly engaged in prayer. The word was
given TO fire, but though sixteen guns were
discharged at the agonized men the fire
was Intellectual One was slightly wound
ed. and the other, uninjared. jumped up
and tore the bandage from his eyes. The
reserve was brought forward, fired, but
missed the men. Then the provost marshal
took out his revolver, went up to the VIC
tins, and blew out their brains.

So fully impressed are we with the idea
that the Federal Congress will propose
making offers for the termination of this
war, that we cannot refrain from laying our
thoughts before the readers of orr paper.
think they what they may. of such a con-
ception of the brain.
Every effort possible to crush the rebel
lion Of the Southern States, has been re-
sorted to by the North. Expense and loss
of life being minor considerations. Call
after call has been made, and with results
go discouraging, that, in imitation of the
Southern Congress. our prosecutors were
compelled to enact law of CONSUMPTION
in this gigantic attempt but little was at
tanned tending to the effect desired : on TIE
contrary. if the truth was known. it has re-
tarded instead of advanced them in their
work of subjugation, destruction, and de-
moralization. The people of the North are
not to be blinded by those in power or by
dispatches prepared expressly with the
view Of misleading the readers of their re-
spective journals. The rapid and constant
fuctuation in their money markets is ample
proof of this. The crisis is now drawing
to focus which cannot be prevented by
all the herculean attempts they may make
The once industrious farmer, the prosper
Gus manufacturer, have now no market for
the products of their industry. The thriv
ing business of the merchant has ceased ::
the poor operative who by hard toll gained
livelihood for himself and family, is now
seen in a distressed condition, he cannot
earn what would be commensurate with.
his expenses, and he compulsory dons the
uniform Of soldier. The sequence is.
that those who are untitled for the field, and
have but little employment, on account of
the number thrown out of employ, barely
are enabled to earn sufficient for their sup
port, and are thus necessitated to resort TO
strikes, which according to Northern ac-
counts are daily assuming very serious
aspects.
Our reasoning may not be very lucid.
still we think, after taking careful survey
of the the condition of the North, that some
measures, as minated will be proposed.
