Rebel Atrocities.

Since the news reached Us Of the atrocities
praciiced BY the rebel soldiers 10 the several
massacres of Fort Pillow, Plymouth, and other
places, it has become fact patent to the world
that large portion Of The Southern soldiery
are even more inhuman and barbarous than the
Druids OF Mount Lebanon. We can call to
mind instances which were of common occur
renee during the reign Of profound peace in the
United States, Of ba.barous and cruel treatment
to slaves By their Southern lords and masters,
that should have made the blood curdle 10 any
Christians veins. There are many instances
on record where slaves of both sexes have been
most inhumanly put 10 death by whipping,
shooting, tearing to pieces by bloodhounds, and
even burning at the stake These unfortunate
beings have thus suffered for crimes or pretended
crimes, without shadow of law, or one single
justification, except the simple plea that il was
necessary for the protection Of the white race.
These atrocities equal anything hat has trans
pired since the war commenced, with this differ
ence, that heretofore the instances have been
individual, aud now they are general. Now,
this state of things has been brought about. in
what is termed this free and enlightened coun-
try, By the manner in which the Southern
chivalry have been reared and educated. Grow
ing up, as they do, habituated TO lord it over
the poor white race and negro alike, they have
finally become overbearing ard cruel. Consid
ering themselves a superior race, they neither
acknowledge the laws of mercy nor humanity.
The laws of the land are regarded with utter
contempt when they conflict with Southern
Chivs idea of justice to this down trodden race.
Civil laws have at all times, in the Southern
States, been made subseryient TO the bowie
knife or pistol. The orders issued by JEFF
Davis satanic government at Richmond and
the rebel and Copperhead endorsement of the
above murderous massacres, bring to light the
true character Of the bloody villains that our
Doble army has 10 contend with, and how much
the people owe them for purifying our country
and cultivating the tree Of liberty, although it
has been necessary to irrigate the noble plant
with the best blood of the nation. The chivalry
have failed to recognize the negro, or accord o
him the customs of civilized warfare Our
Government bas armed and equipped the
negroes, besides placing on their persons The
National uniform. Now, the problem that
remains TO be solved is whether our Government
sill allow these noble soldiers bayoneted like
dogs, after surrendering as prisoners of war to
these miserable bloodhounds or whether the
actors in this cursed rebellion shall be made to
know that there is in store for them a sure and
terrible retribution.

ROAD TO THE IDAHO MINES A bill is now
before Congress for the construction Of road
from Larimie to the new gold mines OF Idaho
near the headquarters of the Missouri river
This road will shorten the route by near five
hundred miles, as compared with the present
travelled road. Efforts are being made tc
establish military roads in that portion o
Idaho now called Montana, for the protection
of Ofprospecting or gold hunting parties, as the
Blackfeet ard Crow Indians are the most

Poor BERIAn The editor of the Demo
cratic Press is in a very bad way because some
patriotic individuals have had the name of the
President of the United States painted on an
American flag. 1t hurts the feelings of that
patriotic (?) man. Read how he talks:
Ir SHOULD BE Torn OFF Suspended across
Montgomery street, near the Russ House, in
the busiest part of the city, bangs long and
beautiful American flag. On the end of the
flag, in great black Significant color letters,
is painted the name Lincoln" Whether you
walk up or down Montgomery street, that
odious name stares you in the face, Haunting
insult to every man who loves bis country, and
despises the man who has brought desoation
TO almost every threshold in the land The
name of Lincoln should not be attached to the
American flag, for the bunting is polluted by
the association.
The only trouble with Beriah Brown in
regard to the American flag is that be is not
"ou it." The Rattlesnake flag Of South Car
olina is the banner Beriah trains under.

Gold.

In the proceedings of the House Of Rep
resentatives, March 29th, Mr.. STEVENS OPP
posed the proposition to strike out the au-
thority proposed to be given to the nation
al banks to buy and sell gold and silver
coin and bullion, and loan money on real
and personal property. Mr.. Boutwell,
thought that these banks, with circula-
ton of S30O,OOO,O0o, would be able to
raise the standard value, which was the
very thing the House had been endeavor-
ing to prevent. Mr.. STEVENS commended
that the banks should be left to buy gold
the same as State banks and individuals,
and declared that the time had passed for
us to consider gold as currency. 1t is SIM
ply commodity, the same as bill OF ex-
change. The House agreed with Mr.. STE
VEINS.

SecenM.-It is understood and agreed upon
that the said John T. Chichester. or his duly
appointed agent. shall be permitted to trans
port without mOlestatiOn or hindrance on the
part of the Confederate States Authorities all
cotton paid to him or his duly authorized
agents, by virtue of this contract, to any for
eign part that he or his agents may select, pro-
vided the cotton Is not sent nor shipped after
wards at the city of New Orleans, Louisiana.
EghM.-lt is understood that all assistance
that may be required by the said John T. Chi
chester, or his duly appointed agents, for the
purpose of protecting his property from que
rillas, and otherwise assisting in transporting
it to the point or points selected for delivery,
shall be given by the military authorities OF the
Department Trans Mississippi, provided such
assistance is not detrimental to the pubic ser
vice.
N;nth.-It is understood that no member OF
the Senate or House of Representatives OF the
Confederate States, shall be admitted to any
share or benefit to arise from this contract.
The Times observes that there is little
room to doubt that immense quantities of
such articles as the rebel army has needed
most have been supplied to them from the
United States, and payment received in
cotton, very large quantities Of which are
known to have been received within our
lines in the Southwest, in accordance with
this arrangement. 500
Whether our government, or its agents
and generals, have had any connection
with this traffic, we have no means of
knowing. 1t is scarcely possible that they
should have remained ignorant of its ex-
istence, and it is not easy to see how it
should have been carried on in defiance of
their wishes. The especial agents F" sent
out into that region by the Secretary OF
the Treasury, undoubtedly had very large
powers confded to them in regard to trade
with the Southern States; but it can
hardly be supposed that they were author
lied to supply the rebel armies with cloth
ing, provisions, hardware, and other arti-
cles OF which they were most destitute.
If they have any such authority, it should
either be revoked or the. war should be
stopped. 1t is scarcely worth while to
maintain an army Of soldiers to fight the
rebels, if an army of Office. holders is
also in the field with authority to feed
them. ode

Coal In WiscOnffn,


The Hudson and Saltwater papers allude
to discoveries of coal bed, as also of a
valuable vein Of copper on or near the
head waters OF the St. Croix in Wisconsin.
Among the many explorers, lumbermen,
surveyors and others, who have travelled
through the northwest part of Wisconsin,
few have failed to notice indications of me
tallic deposits, iron being of most frequent
occurrence. The character of the gentle
man who reports to the Hudson papers
this discovery of coal and copper, is such,
that no doubt can be entertained of his
truthfulness; and though he is, as we are
informed, not scientific explorer, yet his
description leads to the belief that his coal
bed may prove to be something more than
a drift deposit 1t will, however, be of
little practical value until it is connected
by railroads with navigable waters.
