treatment TO human beings. to which no
parallel can be found since the time of
the martyrs. The time once was, even
in the midst Of the rebellion. when We
thought and spoke of them as 9 our mis-
guided bFethren of the South - but that
time has past. Their basbarous treatment
Of plisoners,-their total disregard of
their word of honor,-their wholesale
system Of lying, by which they fan the
latent fires Of demor iacism in the breasts
of the common peoples--sheir inhuman
treatment an6 indiscrininate slaughter
of those holding Union sentiments at the
South, has vanished every svestage of re-
spect or goodwill, and gixen place TO q
deep and inextinguishable feeling of
hatred. We see this in the ssowling
alaRces, the deep drawn breath, the
clutcbed Rst and close see teeth of our
citizens, when IL 10 spoken of. Why

That grand humbug and eyesore Of the
nation, the Army of the Potomac, after
another years fruitless campaign, has

that the troops 80 raised are for the
avowed purpose of achieving that object
which the Potomac army has so effectu-

a fair chance to whip them once.
At the last elections the North polled
1900, 900 of votes. One half of these are
able-bodied soldiers, and at least one
third would be willing, with these guar
antics, to make athree months campaign;
which would be long enough to accom-

Let the press, the lever that moves
the world, take this thing in hand--fet

for it, it will be accomplished. Let it be
