to submit an account of Il few Of the outrages
committed upon citizens of Alabama, by the
confederate troops. While all their leaders,
from the president down, are Boosting of their
carving on this war in accordance with the
laws that govern nations in such cases, and
are charging upon our troops all kinds of dep
relations and outrages, think few simple
facts might put put them to blush and make
those parties, and those of our press and peo-

cast stigma upon us, ashamed Of the work
they are doing. will state merely what L
know to be true.
Abe Canadi and Mr.. Mitchell were hung
two weeks ago, for being Union men. They
lived in the Hackleton settlement, Marion
county, Alabama Mr.. lIallwork and his
daughter, of the same county, were both shot
for the same cause. The latter was instantly
killed. The former is still alive, but will pro-
badly die. Peter Lewis and three of his
neighbors were hunted down by one hundred
blood hounds, and captured. The houses Of
Messrs. Palmer, Welsby, Williams. and the
three Weightmans, and of some thirty others,
were burned over their heads. The women
and children were turned out of doors, and
! the community was notified that, if they al
lowed them to go into other houses, or fed or
harbored them in any manner, they would be
served in the same way. Mr.. Peterson, liv-

was done for the simple reason that thay were

DISPATCH FROM BRIGHAM YOUNG.
WASHINGTON, March "a telegram re-
ceiyed here from Brigham Young, says a
meeting was held in the tabernacle to petition
the president to remove governor Harding,
and Judges Waite and Drake, and appoint
good men in their places. He adds that " the
majority Of the federal officers and other gen
temen are acting honorably." From this, it
appears that chief justice Kenny, secretary of
state Fuller, and superintendent of Indian
affairs Doty, are included in the compliment.
Congress has altogether failed TO promote by
legislation measures for quoting the disatiec-
ton in that territory, leaving that duty tothe
executive department.
THE COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS.
The printed report Of the select committee
on the charges preferred against the commits
sioner OF abe patent Office, Holloway, will be
accompanied by defensive and explanatory
statement from that gentleman.
VARIOUS MATTERS.
Joseph j. Lewis of Pennsylvania, it is gen.
orally believed, will be nominated to the sem
ate as successor to the commissioner of inter-
nal revenue, Mr.. Boutwell,.
The provost marshal has issued an order
forbidding enlisted men of the army from
wearing side arms of any kind within the linn
its of Washington, excepting when their du-
ties require them. The reason given for this
is to secure the public peace and preserve the
property of the government from loss through
the negligence or viciousness of careless and
unprincipled soldiers.
The president has recognized Don Manuel
Alvarez as consul of Spain at New York, and
Don Juan De Amnana San Martin vice CON
sui of Spain at New Orleans.
Mr. Frank Moore has been authorized to
prepare for the library Of congress a collection
of documents on the rebellion from its com
mencement.
A distinguished statesman says in recent
private letter. that the reaction in favor of the
cause of the Union is so strongin Great Brit
ain that no cabinet could live an hour, which
should take steps toward the recognition o.
the southern contederaey.
The resignation Of the Hon. George 5
| Boutwell, as commissioner on internal revenue
took effect to-day 1t is believed that VIM
B. Lewis of Philadelphia will be Mr.. Bout
Wells successor. Speaker Grow, it is rumor
ed, is not candidate. VIM. c. f. Estee

Immediately. The river is rising fast and the
water is interfering much with the camps at
the head Of Island No. 90. The levees are

fearful rate.
Another flat boat ran the batteries at Vicks-
burg. She was fired upon by the rebels and
struck three times. A fire at Lake Providence
on Monday destroyed nearly the whole town,
including Il considerable amount of commits
sary stores. A barge with propellers had got
through into Lake Providence. 1t was push
ed over the land in slides to be used for ex-
ploring the lake and neighboring bayOus.

STAFFORD COURT HOUSE, Va, March g.
Capt. Shuttle, formerly resident near Aide,
recently headed a body of Union cavalry to
that nelghberhoud to surprise a band Of guer-
rillas commanded by the notorious Captain
Mosely of Whites command. Sending one
of his own men disguised as secession
soldier, he ascertained the time Mosely's
guerrillas would be at the farm to which
his scout was sent. Meanwhile he disposed of
his own force in the basement of the barn he
formerly owned, and awaited their coming.
The rebels were set upon when they least ex-
pected it, and some thirty prisoners taken.
The escape Of the rest OF the guerrillas was
owing to the fact that Capt. Schultze's force
was less than that of the enemy.
