Sherman has come 10 the end ofhis row.
Like wilkins Micawber, he is waiting for
something to turn up. The goal Of his
ambition was Atlanta. By great superb
oriiy Of numbers. he succeeded in advanc.
ing from Dalton at the rate Of mile and a

Of his men. The army Of Tennessee was

Judge IIUmDI,rpyS,

\ late Atlanta paper gives the substance
of speech made before the Cadets Of the
Georgia Military Institute, by the mean
dcmagogue and periured scoundrel whose
name heads this article As usual he deals
in abuse of the United States Government,
in false promises to the rebels, and in the
slang Of the chvalry generally. This cor
rupt and cowardly man, held Rebel courts,
under commission from jeff Davis, Sworp to
support his bogus government, while he held
in his possession, commission from the
United States, as a Federal Judge, SWoW to
support the laws and constitution of the
Federal Government lie did even worse
than this-he sat upon the Federal Bench,
under pay, with the binding obligations of
this oath, and then adjourned and made
speeches in favor of destroying the Govern
ment The cold-blooded murderer, and un-
mitgated traitor, sat upon the Rebel Bench,
both at Nashville and Knoxville, and tried
Union men for their lives, and sentenced
them to hang. lie mas since been lmpeach-
ed at Washington, and hurled in disgrace
from the Bench. He has more recently
been indicted for treason, by the Federal
Grand Jury in Nashville, and if he can be
caught, he will be tried, convicted, and eX-
ccutcd. Should our East Tennessee troops
get hold of him, whose relatives he has SEN
fenced for their Union sentiments, they will
save tho Federal authorities from all trou-
bic with him. He always was an unprinci-
pied man, corrupt Locoioco, a dirty Dis
unionist. He has deserved killing for the
last fifteen years, independently of the part
he has taken in this Rebellion, and if he
did-not sneak along under the protection of
the Rebel bayonets, he would be made to
bite the dust

The New England States.

The guilty authors of the rebellion in the
South, and their unprincipled allies in the
Northwestern States are unspairing in their
abuse of the New England States. New
England needs no culogy at our hands-hcr
annals are written in all the records Of this
vast nation-hor brave sons have fought on
all the battlc-fiolds of America from the
DAYS of the Revolution down to the Rebel
lion Her literature is read at all the fire
sides North and South and in the North
west-not a school district in all the wide
domain of this vast country that has not
profted in the light of the example Of New
England. She has originated and manuac-
tured our school books, maps, and all else
connected with our Colleges and Academies.
Her teachers have presided over our male
and female colleges, and educated the chill
dren of the slave holders of the South. New
England has manufactured all the labor
saving machines used in the South-built
our railroads, cars, and locomotives and her
mechanics have had to teach us how to use
our means to our own advantage. There is
not a city or town in all the South that has
not been beautfied blythe presence, example
and skill of the Yankee character
And so far as concerns the great North
west, the seat of wonderous progress. New
England thrift, daring morality and loyalty.
are the chief and controlling ingredients
Still these newborn Democrats of the great
Northwest now propose to cut off New
England from the rest Of the States To
th;a infarnol entarioinmnnt snrno of her own
descendants, who have come South and
West, are urging their countrymen to take
part. and to enjoy the feast. What the
South wants, and what is needed all over
the Northwest, is more of the frugal, indus
trous adventurous, and ioydl spirit of glo-
rious old New England.
There are set of unmitigatcd fanatics in
New England, desperate gang of Adolf
tonists, whose one idea is niger" and
whose iniquitous lives have been spent in
agitating the slavery question-but these
mad men are few, when compared with the
real people of New England, and they do
not represent the wishes and feelings of the
whole people, any more than as bad class
of Secession leaders in the South do the
loyal people of the down -troddcn States of
the late Southern Confcderacyl

Rebel InSOlCncp,

The insolence Of the rebels Of Knoxville,
is only equalcd by their proscriptive course
towards Union men, since the Inauguration
of this rebellion At the close of the past
week, the rebel prisoners were ordered to
prepare for their removal to the North
The officers, by courtesy, were allowed to
quarter at the house of Dr. Curry, a notori-
GUS rebel absent in the rebel army. On
Saturday night they were visited by those
in sympathy with them, and were furnished
with liquors and wines. Among their
guests, shaking hands, and speaking words
Of encouragement to them, was the Rcrerend
Joseph II Martin, late pastor of the Pres
bvtcrian Church, and ldtc member of a
rebel company Of armed tigers, organized
here to demUlsh the Union army!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT as il takes Southern
she-rebeI to make. The rebel prisoners, as
n matter of course, replied with shouts and
yells. Every one Of these women ought to
be sent South, and the Curry house ought
to be taken for hospital.

Sending Them SOuth,

The preparations making TO send certain
rebel families South Is creating quito stir
in the camps Of their associate traitors, and
1t is looked upon rs great hardship, and
rs species Of cruelty far ahead Of anything
acted out by the beast Butler at New
Orleans, Although these families and in
diyiduals are active, unrclonting, and insult
ing rebels, defiant in their conduct and con-
versaton, and most Of them Actual home
spirr, it is cruel to send them ont from their
homes and upon four or five days notice
To send ont the families Of Maynard and
Brownlow, upon 3G hours notice, and then
to siozc upon their effects, sell them ut pub
lie cutlery, and confscatc them, was all right,
To send out Vaughn's thicving band Of
murdcrcrs, to burn down houses in Roane,
Anderson and Morgan counties, over the
heads Of poor Union women and children
because their husbands and sons had gone
into the Federal army, was not cruel but
patriotic and right To imprison hundreds
OF Union men in their filthy Southern pris-
ons, and cause their deaths by starvation,
cold and grief, was all right! Torob Union
families, all over Eastern Tennessee, to shoot
down husbands, brothers and sons, in tho
presence of mothers, wives and daughters
was not cruel but the tender mcrcies Of Il
Confederate Government, having and enjoy
ing the smiles Of God
Oh you scoundrcls, you have had your
day-ours has at length comc-and You
must take consequences, Some Of these
shc-deys who are to 90 South were of the
very class who, two years ago, waved their
handkcrchieis and eXulted when Union men
were hung here These are beautiful devils
to claim the sympathics Of Federal officers
now They are daily trotting up and down
these streets, abusing the Lincolnites, and
avowing their devotion to the Sonth. Let
them go to their friends, and stay with
them!

Aiming The Slaves.

There has been great deal said, pro and
ton. about the bill before Congress to arm
he slaves in this war. Had we been Il
member Of Congress, at the time Of the urg-
nc of the bill, we should have spoken and
totcd against it, on the ground that this
great nation is able to carry ON this war,
ind to succeed in its conduct, without call
ng upon the slaves of the South, or the free
negroes of the North, to fight the battles Of
dc country. At the same time we should
have advocated the using Of the slaves Of
pb.ls, as transfers, cooks, servants, and
hborors in every department, to aid put
ing down the rebellion, as Washington,
jackson, Gaines Taylor and others did in
The different wars we have passed through
On the other hand, we do not agree with
pmc Of the ultra peace men Of the North,
that slaves never were before used in battle
Our reading of history is to the effect that
Cataline's famous conspiracy received much
existence from those doomed to scrytudc,
his ranks being filled with escaped slaves.
Ald Rome. the MISTRESS Of the World,
nearly fell before their blows. She cXcrted
oil her immense resources Of wealth and
tlent, and vet the conflict between the
loorly-armed slaves and the best drilled
loops the world ever behold, was quite du-
Gous. At another time the foundations Of

ever witnessed up TO that period. Spartims

first blow. An army sent to suppress the
rebellion was defeated another shared the
SINE fate: while the bones Of Hird, sent

claims. Last, but not least, the rebels Of

armed them in battle and where they have

the war because Of the negro and without
any provocation. Let them now be fought

A Rebel Preacher.

As bad specimen of rebel Preacher
as East Tennessee affords, and society is
cursed with is the Rev. FIELDING PopE. a
Presbyterian preacher of Blount county
lie managed by hook and by crook, to get
up a revival among his deluded followers
and connected it with the raising of volun-
teer forces for the rebel army. He preach
cd to them that God was on their side-got
them up to the mourners manufactured
them awhile-thcn advised them to 20 into
the rebel army, and assured them that if
they died in the cause, they would be saved
We have known this old hoary headed
Rebel for 30 years. lie was an anti-slavery
man until he married a widow lady owning
gang of negroes, and then he turned reb-
ell. lie ought to be sent South, and that
without delay.
