In letter to Hon. II. G. Winthrop, Of
Boston, the well-known divine and pat
riot Robert j. Breckenridge, writes
1t may be the will of God that the
most dreadful changes await our country.
If the very worst comes, look that true
and regulated liberty will perish last in
New England. In past years / have
spoken freely in disapprobalion of much
that has been felt as en- evil influence
from New England, as il appeared to me.
But never doubted---and now less than
ever, that the roots of whatever produces
freedom, equality and high civilization,
are m1re deeply set in Ne,O England h,an in
any equal population on The face Of The earth.
Az 10, Kentucky, | will not trust my self
TO speak, / heard General Burnside say
that he considered the loyal people of
Kentucky the most decided and disin-
terested he had anywhere seen, and that
embraces tWo-thirds of the entire popu-
lation. 1t is people held by its enemies
to be bOastful; but they will do, Away 8,
more than they ever say they will do. "
What rebuke 10 a class of foul
mouthed revilers at the South is contain
ed in the italicised clause in the above
extract And the tribute to the Kentucky
psoplc is just. When corrupt leaders
preached earned neutrality" the Ken
lucky people enlisted under the banners
of Nelson and Rousseau.
While MagolIin was intriguing with
Governor Harris, the people voted Unior
again and again; when pro-slavery wire.
workers invited an Indiana "conserva.
tive" to address Union convention, tn,
Kentucky people hOoted him off the stand
And when the Louisville Journal and it,
clique denounced the gallant Gen. Smitl
as an abolitiOnist, the people elected hin
to Congress by near 5000 majority.

The reader will learn from the card
of the Surveyor Of the Port j. Il.
DILLON, Esq, which we reprint below,
that, although the Convention at Cincin-
natl awarded TO Nashville wholesale
trade, our Merchants cannot, as vet,
avail themselves Of that privilege. The
proceedings Of the Convention must first
be revised and approved by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, There is no
doubt Of his approval. In the mean
time, Nashville merchants, wishing to
wholesale, must possess themselves with
patience.
Persons applying for permits for
family supplies should heed the admo-
milton of the Surveyor, and take with
them duplicates Of their bills. He can
not take time TO make copies, IL is no
pant Of his duty, and should not be ex-
pected of him.
These restrictions upon ones priyi-
leges are, no doubt, unpleasant to all.
But they must be borne. They are evils
caused by tho rebellion; and, together
with the thousands Of others, which have
been visited upon the community can be
gotrid Of by restoration of peace and
fraternity. The sooner this restoration
takes place the better for all concerned.
Let the people of Middle Tennessee pro.
coed TO discharge their duty in the
premises, firmly and honestly. They
have grieyously sinned, Let their re-
pentAnoe be sincere, and their lab0rs act
i've and Jealous in behalf Of the old gov
ernment which, after all, they must con

Ile Chicago Post has a letter from LIT.
Cole of the Mississippi Marine Brigade,
which says:
"Tho day after the battle of Miliken's
Bend, in June last, the Marine Brigade
landed some ten miles below the Bend
and attacked and routed the guerrillas
which had been repulsed by our troops
and gunboats the day previous. Major
Hibbard's cavalry battalion of the Ma
rine Brigade followed the retreating
Rebels TO Tensas Bayou, and were hor-
rified at the finding Of skeletons of white
Oilioers commanding negro regiments,
who bad been captured by the Rebels at
Mililen's Bend. In many cases these
officers had been nailed TO the trees
and crucifed; in this situation a FIRE
was built around the trees and they suf-
fered Glow death from broiling The
charred and partially burned limbs were
| still fastened to the stakes. Other in
| stances were noticed of charred skele-
tons of officers which had been nailed to
the slabs, and the slabs placed against
q house which was set on fire by the in
human demons, the poor sufferers having
been roasted alive nothing was left but
| charred remains"
A statement of this ala furnished by
Lieut. Cole to Tie Missouri Democrat adds
the following:
"Negro prisoners recaptured from the
guerrillas confirmed these facts, which
were amply cOrroborated by the bodies
found as above described The negroes
taken were TO be re-sold into Slavery,
while the white officers were consumed
by fire. Lieut.. Cole holds himself res
ponsibie for the truth of the statement"
An Inc dent OF the Morgan Raid-.-
CoId-biOOded Murder by the
Gang.
In conversation with Methodist min
lister, a member Of the Ohio Conference,
and O resident of Jasper, Pike county,
We learned that when Morgan's band
was within four miles of Jasper, Pike
county, Ohio, they captured a number o.
citizens, among them q school teacher
by name Of Joseph McDougall, aged
forty-seven. The captured men were
marched on the double quick TO the
village Of Jasper, allowed few moments
rest, and then double quicked two and a
half miles 70 Piketon, and there, with
others captured, formed into line fol-
parole
Before the oath was administered
however, Capt Mitchell, Of one of Morg-
ans companies, ordered Mr., McDougal
to step out of the ranks. After a little
parley, this Mitchell ordered two soldiers
10 march McDougal to tie Sciota river, a
short distance of. Here he was placed
in a canoe, facing Mitchell and his two
men, and st a signal from Mitchell two
shots were fired At the prisoner, one ball
taking effect just below the right eye,
the other in his left breast, near his heart.
Death followed instantaneously The
wretohes left their victim in tho canoe
Prisoners who were with Mr. McDougal
represent him as a gentle but brave
hearted man, the flag of his country be-
ing sacred to him above all earthly gym
bol5. lie was a school teacher and q
most exemplary member Of the Methodist
Church. A wife and i've children sur

Oaght not the proper authorities hum
up Capt. Mitchell, and put him on tria
for murder? The rope is a merciful in
