DISCIPLINE IN THE REBEL ARMY. One wnu 4
think, on looking over the newspapers from
different sections of the. Goniederacy, that the
Rebel army would get considerably thinned
out by the military executions that are coutil-
uaI!y taking place. Hardly paper but cou-
tpins in its local columns accounts Of soldiers
being shot to generally for desertieu
There seems to be no sensation over these exc
cutions either among the people, or in the
newspapers. The facts are quietly chrohiced
in three or four liues of small type, as minor
incidents of The day. The Richmond Dis
patch of Saturday last, for example. says that,
"Anoher military execution took place yes
terday at Camp Lee, Lear Richmond, The par
~ being John Muigan, Fifth Virginia Cav
airy, convicted of deserving" and it adds that
michael Kiernans and James Boderick, OF
the LetCher artillery will I've shot to death

seriion "'Fhe spectacle" coolly adds the Dis
paichi sis for the sake of the example, 1t is
a dangerous thing to desert from the Rebel
Army, as military law is there relentlessly
enforced.

A Defense OF Nsu England


+ is noteworthy that New England, chlrg
:, 20 fanaticisna, factieusuess, and sneered al
every lying epithet implying want OF de.
ga to Inc Union and the Constitution, has
s'ss''ily given unconditional support to the
eteral cause to the fullest extent demanded
81 her. 1t is not within her borders that
Esins have been taken by i dominant party to
array the people against the Administration
whenever its acts or its policy have been adj
'erse to the wishes Of that party
Since the conflict begun, New England has
seen measures adopted, official changes made,
aud counsellors and leaders retained or dis
L.issed, far from agreeable 10 her cherished
opinions and views as to the demands Of the
crisis. But she has never been even pettish
under disappointment. Whateverelse may be
said Of her, il cannot be said Of her that she
has wavered fer moment, or held back dol
lar or a man in her devotion to-the Interests
of the whole country.
Would it not be well for her maliYners,
within and outside of her boundaries who
with implied bascness or arrogant hatred, are
abusing her history and character TO remem-
Der tbis! They are endeavoring in every way
within the reach Of their limited powers OF
mischief to hinder, embarass and discredit the
Administration to serve the narrowest parti-
zan or personal ends apparently drcading
nothing so much as vigorous prosecution OF
;he war, unity al the North, aid the swift
punishment of rebellion.
Can anything of such disloyalty be found in
the deeds of New England since the conflict
begun? In her six States, with an intelli-
gent population Of almost three millions oil
souls nothing has yet been seen, in the actions
of her ciiizeus and governments, but unfinch-
ing determination 10 saye the Republic
That is tie sufficient answer TO all the Sian
