kee accomplishment in times gone by
(some specimens of it hays bees seen in
the South but the unheard Of effrontery
that prompted these villains, who we're
caught in company with the thieving,
numbering vandals who have invaded our
country, despoiled our homes, murdered
our citizens, destroyed our property, vic.
lated our wives, sisters and daughters, to
boldly claim of the press of the South
the courtesies and civilities which gentle
men of the press usually extend to each
other. is above and beyond all the IN
blushing audacity we ever imagined. -
They had come along with Northern van
dals, to chroHicle their rapes, arsons. plum
ders and murders and to herald them to
the world as deeds of heroism, greatness
and glory. They are our vilest and
most unprincipled enemies--far more
deeply stepped in guilt, and far more
richly deserving death than the vilest van
dial that ever invaded our soil, and out
ragged our homes and our peace. We
would greatly prefer to assist ip hanging
these enemies to humanity, than show
them any civilities or courtesies.
The eemnea robber, thief and murder
err is more respectable, in our estimation,
than these men; for he never tries to
make his crimes respectable, but always
to conceal them. These men, however,
have come into our country with the open
robbers aud murderers of our people for
The express'purpose of whitevaihing their
hellish deeds, and presenting them to the
world as great deeds Of virtuous heroism
They deserve ropes end, and will not
receive their just deserts till their crimes
are punished with death.

a JOKER FOR A RULER.-The Washing

that paper publishes the following: 70
The town has been laughing over new
story about the President. .zs
A worthy and very pious minister, 1t sp-
pears, had recently. by means unknown es-
capped from the confines fithe Confederacy.
Though very much digusted with its tenn
poral, he had high respect for its spiritual
condition Their rulers were praying men
he said; j. eff. Davis himself was an earnest
Christan,. and was constantly in the habit
of seeking the Divine blessings on all his
undertakings. 1 tell you,' he exclaimed; {;
God always answers sincere and fervent
PRAYERS. and it is because Mr.. Davis and so
many of his people have so humbly bowed
before the throne of Divine grace, that. he
has vouchsafed them so many mercies and
so signally prospered their cause.
But intefposed the practical preacher.
with whom he was con1ersing, don't you
see that they pray on this side for success
lust as earnestly as the rebels do. Mr.. Lin
coin is a man of strong religious convictions
and doubtless, prays earnestly to God for
success to crown our arms. Don't you Boz

would Mr.. DavisT

which the license will cost him. If that
value is $4,000 he must pay, $3.50; it IT IS
