Rebel Account q e .IIs.lrHetion Of HOLY

Rebel Account CT the Desrruction OF Holly
The rebels arc sxulting over the raid
upon Holly Springs. A correspondent Of
the Mobile Register gives long account
Of IL BE aays;
The scenes was Wild, exciting, tumul-
fusus, Yankees running, tents burning,
Confederates shouting, Abolitionists beg
eing for mercy, women, IN dishabfIte clap
ping their heads, frantic With joy, crying,
fKin them, kill them p He adds:
The extensive buildings Of the Mis-
sissipbi Central depot-the statiOn house,
the engine houses, and immense store
houses-were filed with supplies Of cloth
ing and commissary stores. Outside the
depot the barrels Of four we're estimated
to be half q mile in length, one hundred
and fifty feet through, and fifteen feet
high. Turpentine was thrown over this,
and the whole amount destroyed. Up.
town the Court House and the public build
ines, livery stables, ana all cspaeious es-
tablishments, were filed, ceiling high,
with medical and ordnance stores. These
were all fired, and the explosion Of one of
the buildings, In which was stored one
hundred barrels Of powder, knocked down
nearly all the houses on the South side Of
/ the square. Surely such scene Of devas-
tation was never before psesented 10 the
eye Of man. Glance at the gigantic esti-
mates; 1,s09, 600 fixed cartridges and 9TH
er ordnance stores, valued at 81, 500 600,
including 5000 and 1000 reYolYers; l00,-
600 suits Of clothing and other quarter
masters stores, valued at S500o00; 500,-
900 barrels Of four and other commisssry
stores, valued at $500, 900; 100000 worth
Of medical stores, for which invoices to
that amount were exhibited, and LOCO
bales Of cotton and $500 900 worth Of suit
ler's stores. -
"The ladies rushed out from the houses,
wild with joy, crying out, There's some
at the Fair Grounda, chase them, kill
them, for Gods sake One lady said,
The Federal commandant of the post is
in my house; come and catch him;' and
search WAS instituted, but without sue
cess, when the noble woman insisted that
he was there, concealed and finally, after
much ado, the gallant (save the mark
Colonel Murphy, the intrepid Yankee
oommsndant at Holly Springs, was pulled
out from under his bed, and presented
himself in his nocturnal hRbiliments to
his captors.

and, ADDRESSING General Van Dorm, said:
We'll, General, you've got us fairly this
time. I know it. was in bed with my

hours before. All his papers, charts, maps,

his papers was found pass, to pass the
bearer over all railroads and steamboats,

All accounts give Mr.. Diekmsn great
credit for his argument against the traitor
Olds in the House at Columbus on Monday
The correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gsz-
ette writes;
"Mr Dickman Of Cuyahoga, a Union
Democrat, made an able argumentatiYe re-
ply to the Doctor. He agreed in some
things which the gentleman had said but
he differed from him in many others. He
did not believe that we have the Spanish
Inouisition here. The gentleman had
drawn largely upon his imagination, his
papers, &C., but mot on facts. Perhsps..all
these arrests have not been made for good
couse. It would be surprising ifsuch were
not the case. If any serious attempt had
been made to destroy the peoples rights
there is not q party which would not rise
up against it. The suspension Of the ha-
bsas corpus is contemplated in the Consti-
tuition. If you have a right to suspend it
you must acknowledge that the results fol-
lowing are authorized The Constitution
SAYS that suspension can be made in time
Of rebellion. Who is todeeide when there
is a rebellionl When there are so many

question, it is the duty Of the President to
act as be thinks best for the preservation
Of the public good. No one win deny that
the exercise Of this power (suspension Of
the writ, has been beneficial 1t saved
Maryland The gentleman thinks these
are troublesome etimes-tyranny is appear
ing. Ifhe had read the history of thecoun-
try he would have found precedents for
the acts Of the President-even for his own
arrest No one viii deny the love that
Thomas Jefferson had for the rights of
man. No one detested more than he did
the Alien and Sedition act he was al
ways q good Democrat How did he act
during the Burr conspiracy He request
ed Congress to suspend the writ of habsas
eorpus, which they refused 10 do, when he,
by the authority Of the war power, order
ed the arrest Of Burr and his associates.
/ They were arrested and taken to Balti-
more where they were confined for trial,
notwithstanding that they complained
that the laws and Constitution were being
trampled under foot by the act. Mr. Dick
man closed by saying that he was willing
to vote for resolutionin the proper spirit,
making inquiry Of the Governor as to these
arrests

The nIurder of Nerroes.

The correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial writes as follows Ofthe steam
boat captures on the Cumberland, and of
MOrgan's and Forests guerrillas:
They have many bands, well supplied
with light artillery, and good horses
In conyersing with them, they laughed at
our style of trying to capture and destroy
their bands, until we adopted q mode of
warfare similar to theirs. One Of them
said they had undertaken heavy job,
viz whipping the United States; and
though there would not be a grease spot
Ieftof them, yet they intended to do it.
&C. This remark caused laugh all round.
As usual, the poor contrabands had to
suffer. They TODD six from the steamer
Charter and two from US, led them out on
the bank, and shot them all; also one
poor fellow who was found clinging to the
water wheel Of the Parthenia.n

ANOTHER MARTYRED CoPPERHEAD.-The
Springfield correspondence of the St..
Louis Democrat relates the following hap
py incident which occurred at that place :;
"A few nights since, member of the
Legislature, who was sleeping double at
one Of our hotels, was kicked outby a bed
fellow, an officer in the army, for ventilat-
ing his secesh sentiments atthe unseason-
able hour Of midnight. The officer threw
the offenders clothes after him into the
passage, The member was compelled to
sit up the balance Of the night in the Office,
before the cold stove, in no very pleas
ant mood
The member must have discovered that
q fire in the rear" was what Unionists
could play at as well as the Copperhead.

The tories Of Iowa are endeavoring TO
keep pace with those Of other States in
the war against the negro. A fugitive
slave from rebel master in Arkansas, who
was endeavoring to earn an honest living
by hardwork in DesMOines county, was ar
rested and committed to jsil under an OBJ

Our Situation.'

Our negbor, the Yorkville Enquirer, under
the above caption, makes the following peril
nent remarks:
A the militia Of the State have been called
on by the Governor. in certain contingency,
for three months, unless sooner discharged, il is
a matter Of moment to consider the state Of our
supplies Of bread stufis at the present, aud for
the future. On Saturday last, seven OF eight
wagons from n. Carolina passed through our
town loaded with corn, purchased IN the Dis.
trict, while from that State, all shipments OF
corn, wheat, flour, &c. is positively prohibited
The article OF corn has been put up to 81 per
buskel, with no sufficient reason, and Il is being
boarded at that-now, what are the families OF
soldiers to do, should the emergency arise for
the militia call Should the Governor inter
ferc or will the CON. far more necessary than
the cotton Ia the hands Of the rich, have
to be pressed when the bulk Of il Is removed {?
This Is subject Of interest to the people, and
deserves the notice Of TIC Press. Really, we
have "Riiemen In front Of Us, Raemen in rear
OF US, Ritiemen right Of US, Riaemen lef, Of vs.,
Rihemen all around us"

OBITUARY.

JAMES T. TRUEsDEL, a member of Co. g, 2d
Regiment s. c. v, fell pierced through the
head at the battle Of Sharpsburg, on the l7th
September, 1869. The fatal ball struck him
while the company were wheeling into line, be-
lore he had fred his gun. James was the son
OF the late John Truesdel of this district. Born
OF pious parents he imbibed principles of chris
nauity while young, and at the cann. .neetng
at Salem in 1859, united himself to the Metho.
dist Church. The writer knew him from his
boyhood up, and can testify to his many virtues.
lie was kind and obliging to all, no young man
was more beloved by his nishbcrs. As sol.
dier he was brave and ever at the post of duty.
In the various relations Of son, husband, father
and friend, he was all that he should be-
lie leaves young and affectonate wife, in
iaht son, and large number of friends TO mourn
his nntimely death. But it is consoling to think
that he died in the defence Of his country
Among the many noble sons Of Lancaster who
nave iallen in this cruel war, none deserve to
be more deeply mourned-more gratefully re.
membered Friend of my youth farewell.
