REIGN OF TERROR IN Rebellion "A rebellion
against the rebellion has broken ont in Northern Ala
bama and Mississippi. Those who have revoltea
against the rebel oligarchy are hunted down by the
Confederate troops with the utmost ferocity, even
setting bloOd-hounds on those who have fed to the
woods. In one instance it is said n young girl carry
ing food to her father was torn to pieces by blood
hounds Two women in Tuscumbir County met the
same fate. Not less than 900 Union men have
reached Cornth. and a regiment is forming there
ShIch already numbers six full companies. A num-
Der of Unionists have been shot and hanged, and
their houses burned.
CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN-wAxT OF THEM THE
gentleman with rather n seedy over
coat on, attended a funeral in the fashionable Grace
Church. New York city He took n prOuniuap. Saat
but the ceremonious sexton sent him off 10 n free
pew near the door. a pompous little Lieutenant,
wearing an elegant new uniform, was graciOusly
shown TO an eligible seat. On the congregation
rising at the singing of a hymn. the seedy coat was
partially removed, displaying the starred shoulder
straps Of a Major General. Urgent civilities were
pressed on the distinguished ~ofiicer-prayer books,
offers of n better seat, etc but Gen. Banks quietly
declined these turnkey attentions, and concluded his
devotions in a free pew near the door, having eyre
giously mistaken Grace Church for a Christian in
stitution, in the character of some of its frequenters.
The Rochester Express, of a recent date, has the
following remarkable story 1--WE have previously
noticed the death of Sergeant Charles II. Stevenson,
of Henrietta, who was killed at the battle of Fred
ericksburg, but one incident connected with it is
worthy of record. On the day Of the battle his wife
was out in the yard. when suddenly she was aware
of a presence behind her, and turning felt a warm
breath on her cheek, aud saw her husband, who,
however, almost Immediately vanished. As she
turned she cried out, "Oh Charlie, is that you 2,
and returned to the house, when she told some
friends that she had seen her husband, and that she
should never see him alive again. As near as can
be ascertained, the event occurred just at the time of
day when her husband was killed. Altogether it
forms one of the strangest incidents of seeing spirits
of which we ever heard"
The PRINCESS RoYAL.-The work of unloading
this splendid prize is completed. The Marshal has
received directions to use all expedition, that the
Princess Royal may be put into commission without
an hours delay as n United States war steamer.
The Princess Royal is an iron steamer. She is
divided below decks into four compartments, each
water-tight. She is Clyde built. has the royal arms
upon her stern, and is said to be capable of excellent
speed. Her cargo is most valuable. Yesterday
brought to light the machinery for two propellers, a
large lot of first-class drugs and chemicals, teas, and
hospital stores. The iron plating removed from her
hold was intended as mail for the rebel ships. 1t
will now do the same duty on Union vessels. Yester-
day an enormou box was hauled out. 1t was screwed
down with huge screws, like those used to fasten
Old fashioned bedsteads. This box was opened while
we looked on. 1t was so extremely heavy that some
anxiety existed TO know its contents. They proved
to be steel pointed, conical shot, such as Beauregard
fired at our iron-clads from Charleston harbour.
There were some hundreds of cylindrical bars Of the
same kind of metal ready for casting into shot. The
machinery and everything is of the best description.
The drugs include large lots of quinine, aud expen-
sive articles, whose price in the market has now
nearly, or more than doubled, in some cases
quadrupled. The estimated yalne of the cargo is
81 600, 900.
