MORE CRUELTY AND Observation-Disclosures men,
who have escaped from the upper counties of
East Tennessee, within the past week. say that
the rebels, in addition to robbing families of their
grain and stock, plundering their houses and
setting fire to them are actually, in many in
stances stripping decent Union women, old aud
young, Of every vestage of clothing they have
on, and turn round and taunt them, and black
guard them. Let these imps Of hell die most ig-
nominious deaths when they fall into our hands.
Let the rebel families in their neighborhoods,
who have pointed out these women as the wives,
sisters, and mothers Of the men in the Lincoln
army, regret the day in which they were born.
We must turn over new leaf in East Tennessee,
and do 1t at once. Let the fathers of the men
who lead these bands of robbers be robbed of
all they have, and let them know it is because
OF the parts their sons are acting in this work
of plumber and robbery.-BromnLom.

Gen Burnside's staff. Mrs. Wiiamz kept quiet
until the guerrilla chief fell asleep then she
hastily procured a horse, rode full speed for ff-
teen miles, and returned with a small squad of
Union soldiers. Just rs they arrived Morgan
awoke, and, seeing his danger, broke from the
house, but was confronted on all sides by bayo-
nets. Desperate at being thus caught by a wo-
man, he drew his revolver, swore he would not
be taken alive, and undertook to break through
the guard. They fred-and John Morgan's ca
rcer of infamy and blood was finished.

(Hroa the Wing Of the 18th II Jaauaryl
Some years ago-not more than two,
Or, u the outside, three-the world was
startled by the appearance in the New
Hemisphers Of numerous and very war
like people. Thsy we're from Eve 70 eight
millions strong, occupied vast and ex-
ceedingly fertile territory, and q the time
were engaged in ! bloody war against :
people three times ~ numerous, who dis
putsd their right to independence.
They asserted that they we're of . diff.
fennt type and better rAee than the peo-
pie against whom they we're warning. and
With whom they had once lived in COM
mon. They declared that they were
homogeneous, while their enemies were
heterogeneous. They styled themselves
the chivalry of the Nineteenth century,
and stigmatized their foes as peddlers.-
They were moral and religious their late
partnefs immoral and tanatical. They
were truthful and honest; the Yankees
flor 90 their enemies were called were
liars from the womb and cheats BY pro-
fession.
Strange to say. this new and heroic race,
which gave such brilliant promise, has
disappeared as suddenly ~ it appeared ;
and BY = metImorphosis unparalleled in

every whit IS bad, il no worse. than the
Yankee. If recent issues of the same
disgy newspapers which three years ago
breathcd 20 defiant tone, and such con-
rciousness Of superiority. may y trusted.
the once noble population Of the South has
become utterly extinct: Patriotism is
dead corruption and fraud stalk in high
places the finances are in ruins food il
nearly exhausted extortion and spscula-
ton rule supreme; not particle Of states
manship is displayed Congress has gone
mad civil liberty is threatened at the
hands Of the friends of the Chief Magis-
sra,e; civil ability has persisted; military
talent is rapidly Winning; and, what il
worse than all, the people are bsgrudging
food and clothing TO their sons who are
6ghing, and have given themselves up,
the men to drinking and the women to
paint and exposure of their persons.
Worse, yet, everybody is frightened be.
cause, forsooth, some hundreds Of thou.
sands of Yankees (nearly two millions oil
whom have already been whipped) ART

| OF course these are not the same PEG
pie who Inhabited the South three year,
ago. A disbolical and inexplica ole met
amorphosis has been wrought. An IN
ternal incomprehensibls transmutatior
has taken place. As for the people whs
have taken the place OF the Sou,herners
it is impossible to say what they will do
