dering by the Rebel Governments.
The utter disregard OF the right OF
property that which belongs to its
secession subjects, --manifested recently
on all occasions by the rebel Government
is arousing the fierce opposition Of the
people. The agents Of the Government
break open meat houses, rob mills sack
stores, plumber barns, corn cribs and
stables, drive Off herds Of cattle and
aocks of sheep, and ven take away the
wardrobes and bed clothes of private
families, by force, for The use Of the army.
Payment for these articles is no longer
rendered, and even If il were, it would
amount to nothing, as gold is GOO per
cent premium in Richmond.
TO show the state of feeling against
the Government, we quote the following
extracts from the Richmond Examiner:
"Ohleial, legaGzed, yoDJeries never answed
a good purpose in any country or in any
age Of the world; and Of all countries
and ages they suit ours least.
These arbitrary impressments Of Cow
eminent touch the peoples pride and
sense of justice, and they effected great
and natural change in their sentiments TO-
yards the cause Men who, in romantic
and pious enthusiasm for their country,
have cheerfully given up their sons TO
the battle and have assisted with sort
Of mournful pride in the burial Of their
offspring slain on the field, have had their
feelings and temper towards the Govern
mont suddenly changed by the rude and
and rapacious action Of Government pres
gans" .'Ii,Ho-
The temper Of our people revolts ut
| injustice and arbitrary violence. They
are accustomed 10 the enjoyment Of their
rights unimpeached, and, until recently
| they have been strangers 60 wrong and
insult from Government officials. If
they are properly compensated and
equally dealt with, they will give all
their labor and savings 10 the Govern
ment and give them cheerfully, but If
these are exacted arbitrarily, and with
iasolence and insult, they will not only
give nothing at all, but they will take
eI'eciual measures to prevent HE nlinions Of
G0vs,,laeft from chanting tchat they prolel
through The country 10 seize for mockoyy Of
payment. There is a feeling of resentment,
deep seated and widely pervading the best
class Of tie community against Government,
which is held responsible for these mad
and reckless impsessments and there
are high officers in this goodly city who
fancy they are popular in the land, bit
,choss names are held in erec,ution BIZ he
stdaach classes ,Vhieh control public opunon.p
The explanation of these Government
robheries lies in the fact that the Gov
eminent has no funds but its own paper
to pay for its supplies, and this is now
worthless. Itmust live like a highway
man, and either rob or die. 81. pu
b The leading editorial Of the Augusta
CoRstitati0nalist of the 9Th inst, is nothing
but prolonged howl against The re-
morsoleas seizure and impressment Of
property by the rebel Government now
taking place ell over the South. II pro-
nounces such impressment an arbitrary,
high handed measure, for which there
can be no psllialion ;25and says that "if
persisted in, it will drive the people from,
the production of all articles Of prime
necessity, except what may be sufficient
for the necessities of their families, thus
sapping the very foundations Of the Con-
federate Government, and even OF society
in the Confederate States" IN bsa..u,
The Columbus, Georgia, san Of the
18th March, has the following upon the
same subject: 70 efo'.'' .hI
considerable excitement preyailedon
the streets yesterday, In CONSCIENCE Of
the seizure Of bacon in the hands of pri-
yate parties, by person claiming to be
an agent Of the Confederate Government.
The person who made the seizures, is a
young man, represents his name as Sper-
~, and claims 10 be acting under au-
thority from the Secretary of War. lie
had made several seizures, when his,au. (
thoriiy was questioned, and himself ar
rested by The civil authorizes and placed
in the custody Of the Sheriff to await his
trial op Saturday morning next N ,lrl. i

dynasty, and desiring its success Foo 800
That Government by the confession

Gov BRowS, Of Georgia, says in mes
sage 10 the Legislature that the Wash.
inglon Government showed a higher re-
gard for State Rights than was shown by
the ono at Richmond. And here we have
two leading Southern Journals declaring
that Dyyis and his associates irample
upon perscpql rights as well as State
Rights. To fight for such GOVERNMENT
is only Fighting for ones own enslave-
ment. A man might as wisely fight for
the right to live in a den Of serpents. L.
