E9- Some low.iifed fellow has been writing
smart piece in the Northern papers about the
young wife of Gen. John H. Morgan. He is
very witty over the expressions of affection for
her husband, which the young bride writes to
her sister in Nashville. The letters, it seems,
have fallen into Federal hands, and her sister
(Mrs. Cheatham) been sent to Northern
prison. The whole thing is repulsive to the
feelings Of . gentleman, now, especially, tina
Morgan is captive, and his wife suffering the
deepest distress. 1t is only noticeable ~ a
proof Of the total want Of gentlemanly courtesy
to say nothing Of common humanity amongst
the Northern people. II such were not the
case, the newspapers, which are shrewd
enough in cstering to the public taste, would
not be publishing such stuff as "smart." 1t is
smart in their view of it, Yankee smartness
The despicable wretches! To think what our
character must have been in Europe, for the
eighty years We allowed ourselves to be iden-
titled with them, is humiliating. The people
abroad are only just now beginning to see the
distinction. God speed the time when it can
be no longer mistaken

1t is the duty of every Government to

soldiers in tho public service. The laws
of nations and customs of war, az carried
on by civilized Powers, permit no distinc-
tlon as to color 10 the treatment Of pris-
ouers of war. For public enemies 10 sell
or enslave any captured prisoner Oh ac-
count Of his color, aud for no offence
against the laws Of war, Is relapse into
barbarisn, and crime against the ciyili-
zation Of the age. The Governmeu. Of
the United States will give the Same pro-
lection to al it, soldiers, and if the euemy
shall enslave any one because Of his color,
the offence shall be punished by retalia,
tion upon the enemy's prisoners in our
possession. 1t is therefore ordered, that
for every soldier of the United States
killed in violation of the laws of war. a

been furnished US by our friends. 1t is
very difficult to elicit truth out of such a
melange of lies. We have done the bes.
we can in that particular, and arrive a,
the following conclusions
1st. That the North is at the last ex.
tremity, and that her present success de-
pends upon the spirit with which the new
call for CONSUMPTION is met.
I'd. That the new call is not met with
the hearty cooperation Of the Northwest.
ern people, and that the attempt to enforce
the draft will meet with the most deter.
mined opposition.
3. That Vallandigham's position is suf-
fciently strong 10 excite great alarm, at
least, amongst the supporters Of the arbi-
trary edicts of Lincoln.
4th That there is no certainty that the
draft can be enforced in New York or
elsewhere. 1t is all mixed up with bom-
bastic determination and practical weak
ness. We must await further develop
ments to see the result.

of the Federal General, Hulburt, has been ex-
tended over the whole Of North Eastern Ar
kansas, including the White river country. 1t
is further said that "soon arrangements will
be made for the relief of the Union men of
Arkansas, and the opening up trade with that
people," No doubt they will find some who
need relief and are willing to trade. 1t would
be well enough for US to know them also.

The enemy had advanced in force across the
prairie, and that heavy skirmishing was going
on at Bayou Metre, and that a general engage

sure they heard firing during the day on Thurs
day, and no doubt was entertained Of q general
engagement for the possession Of Little Rock.
The mail Of Sunday night relieved our an1i-

Geo. A. Davis, Esq, our stage contractor, to
his agent at this place, contains the latest and
most definite news. 1t is dated 18th August
"On day before yesterday, the Feds advanced
on our pickets on the east side of Bayou Metre
and had heavy skirrnishiug. All day our cav

they threw pontoon bridge across the Bayou,
and about 9 hundred and fifty of them crossed
over, but our boys made them skedaddle back

"SoFr STIFFNESS AND THE NIGHT BECOME
THE TOUCHES OF SWEET HARMoNY"- One night
last week we lay half sleeping, under the fe-
verish influences of opium taken to alleviate
pain. In this half-dreamy state, a clear note
rose upon the silence of the night, fingered
and died as if the hand of some passing angel
had swept invisible cords We walked and
wondered. Then symphony of sweet voices
from our gallery took up Moore's touching
melody, which one must be old to appreciate
in all its charms. 1t was soft in the Silly
Night" We lay in delicious astonishment as
our soul hoated on that pure vocal harmony

immortal as human nature, until the warbling

turned and slept till morning.
