a Poor .Artlele, % Repel.
From Harper's Weekly.


The most pitiful and mean of all rebels
are those who have escaped from the rebel
section to the North, and devote their time
and tongues to the abuse of the Govern
tnent whose protection they have sought.
The memorable despotism of the rebel
sway, the enormous prices of living, the
certainty of rebel CONSUMPTION have driven
them away. They reach city where they
can say just what they please, where the
aspect of life and the means oflliving are
as little affected as possible by this bloody
attempt of a faction to overthrow the Gov
eminent, and they openly express their de-
light in every disaster that befalls that
Government, and at every success of the
rebellion from whose dominion they have
run away.
They denoHnce the unconstitutional acts
OF the Government, while the rebellion in
which they delight is stupendous act of
destruction of the whole Constitution.
They declaim against the restriction of
liberty of speech while their tongues are
entirely uubridled aud under the tlomin-
ionlof their beloved rebellion, If they dared
toinduIge corresponding freedom Of talk,
they would be incOntinently silenced
They scold at the danger 10 the liberties
of the citizen from the Government but
when they are reminded of the reign of
terror ia Texas, of the inconceiyable hor-
rors WHICH have pursued the Union men ut
the South, they declare that il is not the
act OF the rebel authorities. When, then,
they are asked what kind of government
1t is which does not repress such atrocities
at any cost, they shift the question, and re-
ply that where there arc slaves it is not
safe to let people say what they will, which
gives charming fOretastG of the delights
OF government based upon "the system of
involuntary servitudep as its chief corner
stone.
They declare that if the Government had
let them. alone there would have been no
trouble, which is equally true of all other
public offenders who resist the laws. They
seemsto think that they should have been
allk3IZed 90 steal forts, territory, and public
Improvements Without tho lsast notice iDon
the part of the Government which owned
them, while no man in the country is suf.
fered to steal so much as watch with
iRpunity. Aud with incredible aud anu
sing stupidity, some of them seem honestly
to think II strange that a great, sovereign,
imperial Government would not suffer it.
self to be snuffed out like tallow dip.
These gentry who have not had the
courage TO stay Mt home and maintain with
arms the cause which they consider SO lust
and holy, are the most contemplate plIe-
nomeua of the rebellion. They conere-
gate with our own indigenous Copperheads,
and hiss at the Government to which thew
owe the security of their lives and rights.
and the protection of all the property
which has not been consumed by the re-
lentless despotism for the success of which
they so ardently pray.

Expected Financial Trouble in
Europe.

The New York Journal of Commerce
remarks thus about the position OF
matters in Europe:
The prophets in Great Britain have
sneered over many Of our financial
troucles, but from present appearances
they are quite as likely to be caught
in the jaws Of q momentous crisis as
their more reckless cousins on this
side OF the water. The trade with In.
dia for nine months leaves them do
felt Of over fifty million dollars to bo
paid out in specie, and the continued
arrival Of cotton, at high prices, are
adding to the embarrassment. To buy
cotton ola people who are hungry for
nothing but silver, and who swallow
all sent to them without promise of
disgorging dollar, will be found a
very different task from buying of the
Yankees and paying in sundries at a
handsome profit. 1t is true that
large amount of English capital here
tofore used in the United States has
been drawn home, and still greater
amount added by the timid Americans
who feared to leave their all in their
native land, amid these scenes of COM
motion and bloodshcd and this will
partly bridge over tho English diff
Guilty. But it will not give permanent
relief; and if our difficulties should be
settled, and this money called back,
the pinch in the English money mar.
ket would be anything but laughable,
however funny our troubles appear in
English eyes. There are those who
predict the suspension of the Bank of
England before the close of this year 4;
but whether this occurs Or not, it is
certain that there will be sufficient
stringency over there to turn tho at
tention homeward which is now occu.
pied concerning American affairs
France may share in the same trouble,
as her imports from new avenues of
trade have not been counterbalanced
by exports Of French products suffi.
cient to equalizo the current of ex-
change.

The Tax Law.

The Montgomery Advertiser, in com.
menting upon the Tax Law, ftly re-
marks that there is provision in the
tax aWwhich it will be we'll for holders
OF provisions especially to notice, and
that is the imposition of tax of eight
per cent. upon all provisions on hand
on the first day of July next, beyond
what is necessary for the family con.
sumption of the holder. This will
touch the pockets of those who are
holding bacon, -four, corn, and other
articles of food. AS there is no pro.
liability of aa advance of prices be.
tween this and that time, holders of
surplusprovisions will do we'll to con.
slider whether it is advisable for them
to pay the tax or to sell out before the
time and let some one else pay it
The probability is, that as the first of
July approaches, the prices of provis-
ions will decline more and more, in
consequence of the anxiety of parties
to dispose of their stock in time to
avoid the tax collector Tho benefi.
cial effects of the law will be felt in
this sensihly as in anything else. In
the prospect for decline of prices
spectators will not be likely to make
very extensive purchases of articles on
which they will be compelled to pay
heavy tax. They will be more in
clined to hold off, and let them pass
into the hands of those who need them
for family consumption In this way
the law will arrest speculation and
benefit that portion of the community
who make their living by hard labor.

The Yankee Prisoners.

The Rome Courier has the follow
ing about the conduct of the Yankee
prisoners whom Forrest captured be-.
fore they could do any harm to Rome:
The prisoners generally, were re-
markably impudent and Insulting; es-
pecially the officers, One of their
officers, a Major, was publicly cursing
General Forrest on the streetS.a for q
:scOundrel and rascal-stating that
when Forrest demanded surrender.
the Yankee negotiators were trying
20 get the best terms possible, Forrest
appeared suddenl y to get very mad
SworeS Se would wait no longer, that
he would rather kill the whole Of them
than not. Ordered his couriers i'm /.
mediately to direct the commanders of
four separate batteries, to place them
on separate points Of hills And Or
dered the commanders of four separate
regiments, to be formed Immediately
at particular points in line of battle
And that the couriers absolutely dash
cd off, as though they were going to
have these orders executed And us
they dashed off, Forrest told them his
signal gun would be fired in ten min
uGes, when in fact, he said, the rascal
had bnt two little cannon, and not
more than half regiment cf men all
told. That Forrest was nothing but
damned swindler.
The impudent whelps, openly on the
streets, avowed their intention to be
back here in less than three months -
burn up the town and hang every man
in it, because, they say, they were
bushwhacked. This is, of course, an
idle boast of tho poor cowardly devils,
to cover their shame and disgrace.
They said of course they did not
come into Rome just as they expected,
but they couldanot stand all that but
such number of them to be gobbled up,
by such little squad of dirty snotty.
nosed'butternuts was past endurance.

Spirit Of our Women.

Among the passengers on the train
yesterday coming out from Vicksburg,
was a woman, who from her appear
anee, was undoubtedly familiar with
poverty and acquainted with grief
Accompanying her was her soldier son,
some sixteen or seventeen years OF age,
in somewhat delicate health, who had
obtained a Through at 'Vicksburg, and
was on his way home to spend a short
season with his mother
On their arrival at Edwards depot,
and hearing that that point was threat
ened by the enemy, the mother remark
ed to her son that he had probably
better return to his regiment, that ne
might be cut off from his command by
going on with her, that a critical juno
ture was upon us and that his country
now needed his services more than
ever. AS happy as she would be to
share his company at home tor a few
weeks, she told him she would prefer
that he should remain at the post OF
duty until the present crisis was passed
over. He accordingly got on the down
train and returned to Vicksburg.
Had the men of our State the cour'
age, patriotism and self.denial OF this
widowed, mother, a Yankee would not

BsB- The Columbus Times says: In
General Bragg's report of the battle
of Murfreesboro, occurs the following
paragraph: "The enemy's loss we have
no means of knowing with certainty.
One corps, commanded by Major Gen.
Thomas L. Crittenden, which was least
exposed in the engagement, reports
over 5000 killed and wounded. As
they had two other corps, and a
separate division, third of a corps, end
their cavalry, it is safely estimated at
5000 killed, and 10000 wounded, add.
ing the 6,273 prisoners, and we have a
total of 25,273" Here General Bragg
estimates the Yankee loss in that bat.
tic, exclusive of prisoners, at $4,000
men. The official report of Rosecrans,
as we have lately seen, sets down his
loss in killed and wounded at 19,340.-
1t must be conceded then, that Gen
Bragg, while he may not be so great q
strategist as some of his civilian critics
whose absence from tho field is so
greatly to be deplored, can still form
tolerable correct opinion on some
matters.

The New POSTAGE CURRENoY.-A
new issue of ten cent postage stamps
has been made, and is quite popular
currency, being as much sought for as
change in the absence Of small notes
as for posting mail matter. The stamp
is Of lighter print and much neater
than the old stamp, and bears the bust
of the President Of the Confederate
States in profile, enwreathed by the
words Postage ten cents, Confederate
States Of America" The issue of these
stamps has already been large, and
threatens to supplant the five cent
stamp, since the postage on letters
has been increased to ten cents.
