TEE INSIDE OF DIXIE.

and show of unanimity in support of the in.
surrection secured, will thrill Christendom
with horror. The Rev. Mr.. Aughey's account
of what he saw, and felt, and suffered, in
Northern Mississippi, has just been printed in
a modest volum eentitled The Iron Furnace, and
will richly repay a perusal. Where our National
thorities have arrested one person as disloyal,
the Rebel chiefs have seized Of least ono humid
rel and while our Government has put no
person thus arrested 10 dealh-not even those
caught US spies-but has let nearly all run
after few weeks or months detention, tie
Rebels have shot or hung good part of tier
"Tories'--in fact, nearly all but such as they
could terrly into uniting their fortunes with
the Rebellion aud taking up arms in it's be-
half. When the whole truth comes out, it
will appear that nearly or quite as many
Southerners have been put to death by Rebel
authorities aud mobs as have fallen in battle
with the Union forces.
And still the work of death goes on. Though
as little as possible is said of it in Dixie
especially in the Rebel journals, we have
adyices within few days of conflicts in East
Tennessee, and in NORTHEASTERN Georgia, az
at an earlier day in Western North Carolina
and Western Texas also, between Rebel
deiachments and what arc called Tories "
or Submissionists that IT, loyal citizens OF
the United States who defy the Rebellion and
oil its works. In either case, the 4" Tories ="
are said to have been routed-which, as they
were doubtless attacked by overwhelming num-
bers, is probably true. But that the Rebellion
is intensely hated in every section of the South
where Slavery does not dominate, eau hardly
be doubted. Who ever heard Of partisan OF
tie Rebellion who was not also deyotee OF
Slavery Who can imagine or invent grcv-
ance of the South that is not based on the
rightfuness and benefcence OF Slavery
And what possible motive can impel the Poor
Whites of the Mountain districts OF the South
to embark in a rebellion whose success must
intensity and perpetuate their own degrade

quest of homes where Manual Labor is no
badge Of social degradation would be resumed
the day after, and new Egpts" aud
" Pockets" in the Free States would continue
to be populated with tho fugitive Poor Whites
Of the South, unable TO endure longer the
atmosphere Of Slayedom. Already, despite
their general ignorance of letters, these Whites
realize that this war is no concern of theirs,
and are flying at oil points from the merciless
rgor of the COnscrption. The Memphis cor

The press Of Rebeldom IL muzZled with re-
gard to these atrocities, yet an o5liquc gro"l
of discomfort sometimes escapes it. The naked
despOtism Of the present autOcrdic rule OF
Davis is often complained of, and the Governor
and Legislature of North Carolina complain Of
the arbitrary and sanguinary treatment, by
Confederate authorities, OF citizens Of that
State suspected Of Union procli,ites. A Lou
