Ihe prisoner, i. appears, attracted the attention
Of jho officers By bis loud abuse Of the admins

Southern C5nisdsTacy.

so abusive IN bis remarks that TIE officer deemed
iJ Bis duty 20 take him insa eustody
Upon being brought before Gen. Wool the
prisoner acknowledged his usms, and said he

seven days' battle before Redmond Is also
said he was appointed provost marshal %, Rich

that he was stopping attha New York hotel, and
that the police might search his baggage if they

nothing which tended 70 criminste the accused.
General WODi then proposed TO release Hicks II
he would take the oath of allegiance but the

General Wool then ordered the prisoner to be

North now listen eagerly to the fsintsst whis
/ perings of Cancellation and peace.
Il Is a sign Of the times that men can now
stand on the floor Of the Federal house and
sonata aud utter language which six months aeo
would have incsTesTated them in the bastiles OF
the North, and tind Ia popular audiences th0u-
sends Of tarobJing hearts aud voices swelling
up in behalf OF any measure that promises a
cessation Of the war
Il is a sign of the times that the fanatieal
element of tde North IS now carrying on the
contest alone, aaa with its diabolical shape sx-
posed to the view of 8 world whose only senti-
msnt toward it is one Of OpDrobrium and dis
gas5; and that 57ery other m0sivs which ss-
ducad the people OF t1at section into tha war

tien Of southern wealth s8d intelec5-is now
arrays3 against the abolitonists 10 antag0nisms
that are Tgt.ing and already shaking the govern
ment to its core
1t is 8 sign Of the times that the people Of the
Northwest are stirring IN their might and already
discussing the terms of alliance By which they
can effect q separation from the heaven-besieg-
ny hsii-dsfying, lsw-despising, pulpit-crushed
Purit21s OF hsw England, ard come within tie
sc0po of our own generous Constitution.
IL IS 3 sign of the times that the Yankee gov
eminent cannot support their armies, and that
turmoil and 6isssnsions have dam0ralizsd every
srm Of their service, while we of tbs South ara
growing stronger in our national pulse every
hour, and developing the material resources
which constitute the real wealth of the country
il ia 8 sign Of the times that the 50 nigger -
has become the Sighting god Of the abOlitiouists.
and tho poor, starved Ethopisns, who have bsea
enticed to the Northern Utopia, are compelled ~
last to work out redemption which the Augio-

England, su9 ring in their every department Of
industry, still confines to lock sullenly on a
contest and prase Of the horrors of war" when
one bold step would at once relieve themselves
and the people with whom they pretend to SYM

the times that, in this nineteenth century, less

times their force in numbers, provided with sll
the appliances Of a successful warfare and yet
