The REELECTION OF LINCoIN.-The last pro-
clamation of Lincoln, permitting tenth of the
voters of any southern State who shall first have
taken an oath to support Lnco}n's proclanations
and the laws Of the yankee Congress on the sub
ject of slavery, to organize State government and
cast the vote.of said State in the next northern
election for President was designed by Lincoln to
secure his own reelection For instance few
tories and yankee squatters the frontiers of the
southern States will get together and organize a
new State government, and in the next Presiden-
tal election cast the whole electoral vote of the
State for Lincoln. A New York correspondent,
writing to the London Herald, thus explains the
manner in which the Lncolnites will hold on to
the northern government:
"Four new States will be admitted this session,
making thirty-ni that will vote at the next Pre-
sidentai election The new cnes are Nevada,
Colorado, New Mexico and Utah These will give
II electoral votes for Lincoln. Under Lincoln's
new arrangement for organizing neg States out Of
old ones, he will also get the votes OF s. Carolina,
Georgia, N. Carolina, Virginia. Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Arkansas, and
Tennessee-about 80 electoral votes. 1t will be a
fraud but, they say, a justifable one. We shall
see. The admission of these new States will give
alarge administrative majority in both Houses for
either the purposes of legislation for electing

THE MURDER OF DR. .LEAVY.

A correspondent of the Wilmington Journal
writes as follows concerning the atrocities of the
yankees in Eastern North Caroliua
II don't know whether the circumstances Of the
murder of DR.. Leavy, Of Chowan county, have yet
got into the papers not At any rate such
atrocities cannot be too frequently brought before
the minds and eyes of the people, and in this way
the Government may learn OF them and take some
measures towards putting stop to them in future.
Some time last year the yankees went to Dr.
Leavy's house and carried off all his negroes and
his provisions. But with the. help of his children
he managed, last summer, to a sufficient crop
for the maintenance Of himself and family. About
five or six weeks ago, the Buffaloes and yankees
went to the Drs house and demanded his corn. He
refused give it to them, and they threatened to
Dr. then told them he would shoot the first man
inundated by the Dr's spirited manner they
went off without going nto his barn. Shortly,
however, they came Iack again, accompanied by
an armed body of U s. marines. When they at
tempted to 90 into the barn, the DIR. fired at them,
but it is not known that any one was hurt. I'm
mediately upon discharging his gun he seized
and hanged with rope which they had brought
for the purpose They hung him in front of his
own door, and in the presence Of his family.
These murters are OF frequent occurrence, and
the attention of the Government has been often
called to them through the public journals.
[ hope these things will meet the eyes of some
of the Union lovers who are still left in our midst
and are endeavoring to disseminate the sentiment
more widely by means OF peace meetings"
