proudest white oppressor feel that the

high as he stands in the eye of equal

Let us now see what an undigniGcd
whining and bowling the head of the

the effects of the liberation measures of
the North. First comes tissue of rid
icuous falnShnol and Mr Davis pretcnds
to tell his subjects what their enemy
means by success. i" His malignant rage" "
so says the slavery Presidents paoclam-
alton, aims at nothing less than exter
mination OF yourselves, your wives, and
children" and he describes the offer of
freedom to the negro as I" debauchng an
inferior race, hitherto Intended, by prom
ising the indulgence in the vilest pas
sions as the price of treachcry." Follow
ing this explosion Of rabid rubbish is an
offer which proves the statement that
dcsertion has been very frequent from
the Southern ranks. He promises gen.
eral pardon and amnesty to all officers
and men who may be absent without
leave, and will return within twenty days,
and he piteous cntreats the women of
the Confederacy not to shelter the runa-
ways at home
The mean whites" also begin to be
troublesome. They hoped the war
would open the slave trade, make negroes
cheap, and enable them to settle advan-
tageously in fresh territories, where they
fancicd to get rich by the labor Ct the
black. Now they talk of having no
interest in the struggle, and say they are
not Shareholders, and don't care to fight for
the benefit Of those who are.
Nothing has been more ridiculous than
representing the Secessonists as actuatcd
by high principles. It is as absurd as if
we were to imagine that the fight for the
corn laws, made by the English arstocracy
was founded upon an unseltish motive

Southern cause is much worse than that Of

toimagne that higher motives have in-
huenced its leaders and animated It's ranks
Hatred Of the North was genuine, mixed
with the contempt that an aristoeracy
always feels for those who have submit
ted to its yoke; but the struggle has been
most distinctly for power and personal
gain, and as it becomes palmer that it
must end in loss, the imaginary patriotism
takes it, flight. Let no one wish such Il
war to be smotherel in a Compromise
The worst thing would be an unjust peace,
and We hope the heck Of slavery will be
sufficiently stiff not to yield till it is broken
in the strife.

A Terrible Deed of Blood

The town Of Lawrence, Kansas, was
surprised and utterly destroyed ON the
10th inst, by Quantrell and his band Of
muIdcrers. The list of killed and
wounded citizens is said to number $50
and the majority of whom were killed
outright. Among those killed were the
Mayor and his son, and a number of other
prominent citizcns-all shot down in their
own houses, in the midst Of their families
pilago aud murder has not before during
the war been carried to such fearful ex-
tent, even by the misereants who compose
Quantrel!'s band. Gen. jim Lane, it
now appears, succeeded in mixing his eS-
cape from the town on horseback, and
rallied twenty men, with whom he pursu-
ed the murdcrcrs, though with ne success.
1t is doubtful whether they can be over
taken before they will have disposed Of
their plumber and dispersed Tae loss at
Lawrence, it is estimated, will amount to
about two millions, which will fall heavily
on New York as well as Lawrence mcr-
chants. The people of Lawrence, it APP
pears, were wholly unpreparel for this
attack, and they received no assistance
from the military in the district until too
late To avert the calamity. a later dis
patch says From the ruins of the burn
cd houses the charrea remains of victims
are constantly being founl. But one ho-
tel is left standing in the place, ard Guam
trell spared this in consequence of having
made his home there some years since
without expense but its propr,etors was
Shot by his men. Ia one case the gaer-
illas drove twelve men into house, shot
them. and burned the building, and the
friends OF these twelve men, while stand
ing on the banks of the river, were fired
into by the gucrilas, AID 4 number killed
and wounded. Twenty-Five negro recruits
were shot dead. The auerrilas took all
She money that could be found in the
pockets or houses of the citizens They
stole all the jewclry of the ladies', even
to the rings on their fingers, They spared
nothing that was at all valuable. No re-
sistancc was made at Lawrence to the
guerrilIas. The people were shot d wn
as they ran through the streets in their
night-cothes, and their bodies thrown in
to wells and cisterns. Two banks were
robbed Of every dollar they had, and the
third escaped a similar fate only because
the heat was so great from the burning
buildings that the rebels could not stop
long enough to get the safes open.
Twenty-eight bodies have been buried.
1t is still utterly impossible to obtain a
complete list Of their names, as many are
so much disigured as to prevent recogni-
tion; while others are still missing, and
are supposed to be concealed in the woods.
And all this was done by men who cry
"the Constitution as it is, and the Union
as It was, by the so-called "conserva-
tiyesn of Western Missouri. Yes, they
want the Union as it was when they sack
ed Lawrence in 1856 The "eonserya,
tives' of Missouri, who burnt Lawrence
and massacred two hundred helpless peo,
pie, the mob party of New York that
burn Orphan Asylums," and the party
that supports Bion Bradbury of Maine
are one i'll sympathy.

The PAru OF PEACE.-Gen. Meade,
in the speech made by him last week, on
his being presented with sword, said;
Il have to request YOU, gentlemen
who are in civil lite, that when you re-
turn home you will spare no efforts to
make the people understand that all we
want are men to fill up our ranks. Send
these to Us. Give Us the numbers, and
the war will soon be concluded. | think
the rebels are now satisfied that their
struggle IS only matter of time, as We
have the force on our side, and that as
soon as they see that We are bringing out
that force in earnest they will yield.

WRECKS OF HUMANITY. Why SHOULD
THEY SINK ?-The excitement of .4the
chase has always been supposed to have
Il healthful tendency; but there is a kind
Of chase which breaks down the constitu-
tion, be1ilitates the frame, and shortens
life. We mean the headloug, uninter.
mitting hunt after the "almighty dollar"
which is the great business Characteristic
Of the present day. 1t besets other evils
unnecessary to namel which precipitate
the fate of thousands. There is, however
possibility Of recovery from the prostra-
tion produced by these causes, long after
their victim has ceased to hope for it. If
we are rightly informed, the most aston
ishing cures Of what is called general
weakness and debility, which have ever
been known in this country, have been ss
tected through the agency of DR.. Hollo-
ways inestimablc remedies. Mere skele.
tons of men, out of whom the very prin-
clple OF vitality seemed to have been
drained, have been restored to hcalth and
vigor by the operation of the Pills and
ot the Ointment, in case Of paralysis,
rheumatism, &c, we hear an equally ia.
vorable account. If men will break down
their energies by over exertion.-if. in
their anxiety to "go ahead" they will
override the most precious of Gods bless.
ing, hcalth-it is well they should know
how to repair the mischief. when they
come at last to realize the fact Of their
premature decay. The wrecks of hu.
manity, who, without any particular dis
ease, appear to be sinking from mere ex-
haustion, would find, without doubt, i'm,
mediate relief from DIR. Holloway's RENEE
dies.-PhH. 3'ribuAe.
