SHOCKING REBEL BARBARIrIEs.-The
Louisville Journal says it has good author
ity for this almost Incredible instance of
rebel barbarity:
"On Friday, April II, the mail guard
from Gallatin to Carthage, Tenn, was
captured by detachment of the 22d Ten
nessee rebel cavalry. -Four citizens of
Roane county, East Tennesseans, were
with the escort, and were taken prisoners ;
their names were Wyley G. Robinson,
sutler to the 9Th East Tennessee regiment,
the Rev. Mr.. Patley, an aged and much
esteemed clergyman, Andrew G. Wyley
and DR.. Everett. After their capture they
were robbed of several thousands of dol
lars, taken from their persons, and they
were then marched out on to large rock
by the roadside and all four shot dead
This brutal deed was committed after the
victims had surrendered and were prison
ers OF war. The act was committed near
Hartsvill, and who will say that the town
ought not to be completely destroyed and
its site sown to salt Gen. Spears brig
ade was ordered to proceed to the scene of
the murder to secure the bodies and send
them to Nashville for burial, as they were
all highly esteemed men among the Ten
nessee regiments, and the news of their
butchery created intense excitement among
those who knew themn

TAKING SoMETHING.-A correspond

found in the army of the Potomac:

We'll my fine fellow, what are you here
for?'
For taking something he replied
What do you mean?'
Why said he, one morning did not
feel very well, and went to see the surgeon.
He was busy writing at the time, and
when l went in he stopped and looked at
me, saying, well, you do look bad you
had better take something. He then went
on with his writing, and left me standing
behind him. / looked around and saw

ENCOURAGEMENT.-W have received from
a friend private letter, from which we cannot
forbear making the following extract, animated as
it is by the mistaken faith of the writer in the
ultimate triumph Of the right:
90 | trust we are soon TO see favorable turn in
our affairs. do not expect any sudden great ef-
feet from the New Years Proclamation; rather,
twill act like the sun in wasting the SHOWS of
winter, on the approach Of spring The Rebel
lion will waste away by imperceptiblo and
ever increasing drops under its influence. Al
ready it has settled the question Of foreign inter-
vention. No foreign government will dare, in
this age, espouse openly the side of slavery against
freedom. As much as Louis Napo con and the
English aristoeracy dislike America as the center
and home of Republican ideas, they more dislike
to incur t. oppprobrium of their own masses and
the civilized world and future generations, which
would assail them or backen their memory if
they should take such course. And other re-
suits will follow soon. | wait in confidence and
expectation. Meanwhile you are doing good
work in trying to hold public thought and con.
science close to the great principles of liberty and
righteousness involved"

ever. directly into the hands of jeff Davis, and
doing their utmost to make the war unpopular,
and to induce the people to withhold supplies
from the Government for lis vigorous prosecu-
ton, must be apparent to every impartial OBJ
server of current events.
And we think we can see purpose In
these disorganizers, to lot the South succeed,
DOT permanently, for that would forever
spoil all their hopes of an alliance with slave
holders hereafter in the political control of the
Govornment--but permit the rebellion to be
success now, and suffer the " hayward sisters to
depart in peace" After this, in this Democratic
programme, would come the reconstruction of
the Union upon the improved, Democratic, free
trade, Davis, negro confederacy basis, recogniz-
ing Slavery as o Divine institution, and the cor
ner- stone of Republican Government, and
building up free institutions, with Freedom left
out, the Declaration of Independence ignored,
and the rights of man left wholly at the mercy
of the traffckers in human flesh. No doubt
the trainers of this new, Davis, Democratic
Government would leave New England out
Plymouth Rock, the Maydower, Bunker HILL
would be too unpleasantly suggestive of Free
dom for slave-driving confederacy. The pure
Democracy of the six States in she Northeastern
corner OF the old Republic, would be perpetu-
al rebuke to the corrupt, negro'driying Democ-
raey'of the new Confederation which would ig-
more every New England idea.-But the De-
mocracy and jeff. Davis may console. themselves
with the consideration that into such recon
structed Union as they propose on this Western
Continent, New England would have as little
desire to enter, as they for her companionship.
Whatever ideas may control other portions OF
the old Union, however much they may depart
from the precepts, the maxims and the laws
which governed the fathers and trainers of our
Government, whatever new lights they may
follow in their course of empire, New Eng land
will ever remain true to the principles upon
which the Republic was founded to Liberty
and the rights of man and will connect her
fortunes with no new or reconstructed Union
in which these ideas are not so plainly written
that neither legal ingenuity nor traitorous mis-
construction cAn ever again lead the people
away from the clear truths of the text.
