The Plymouth Massacre.

No man can read the despatch from
Fortress Monroe, respecting the treat
ment Of our surrendered soldiers with
out a shudder of horror Among them
were two companies Of North Csrolinl-
ans, who had entered the Federal
service. They were Union men. They
dis claimed all allegiance to the Con
federate Government They had met
the call of patriotism, by taking I'd
arms in defence Of their country. Yet
the rebel General, acting on the sssump-
ton that they were traitors, orders
them out TO be shot, and they were
murdered in cold blood No words
can measure the baseness Of the afro
cious deed. To add to the fearful bar
barism displayed, every colored soldier
was also murdered Whist more ter
ribls convincing proof can be furnished
IN support Of the moral degradation
wrought by slavery These outrages
must cease. The Government owes it
70 the soldiers who are in arms for its
deience-to the people who are sus-
tanning u with an energy and unanimity
unparalleled, 10 the sacred claims Of
stice and humanity, to put an end TO
taese fiendish butchsrieG II they can
be checked IN no other way. let them

How the House Received the Blair
Message-Mr. sehenck's Remarks.

The reading Of this message produced
q decided sensation, and was greeted
with laughter. Gen. Schenck, who
seemed considerably surprised, imme-
diately demanded the floor, and increas-
cd the sensation by statement Of the
facts He said that when he was elect
ed TO Congress he hesitated to accept,
it being his own preference to remain
in the service till the end of the war.
He left it an open question till within
five days of the sitting Of Congress,
when he had conversation with the
Secretary Of War, in which he express
ed himself in doubt as to what was his
duty, and also intimated his desire to
know whether to remain in the service
or how he could return again to il in
reasonable length of time He init
mated his intention Of speaking to the
President about the matter, but rs the
Secretary offered to do that himself,
and gave assurance that it would all be
right, he then handed in his resigna-
ton, without any qualifications, de
mands or promises. The President
must have had had an utter misconcep-
ton of his (Schencks) ideas At that
time he bod .e.>itl.eI promise rrOr U4NpCU-
tstion of having his resignation illegal
ly cancelled and had no other idea than
his nomination would be sent TO the

Nhr Reanregard axe Charge.

The Washington correspondent o.
the New York World has conversed
with an English officer, who has had a
long talk with General Beauregard; and
what the latter said is thus detailed;
With the North every additional year
Of war tells fearfully upon the finances
Of the nation, endangers the existence
Of the government, brings up new fac
tons to life, increases anarchy, fomen;s
discomfort, and incites a notable portion
Of the people to revolt No wonder,
then, if Mr. Lincoln is in greater fear
of a defeat than Mr.. jeff Davis, because,
with Dir. Lincoln, a reverse undermines
the very foundation Of his power, while
with US it rather strengthens it. The
difference between us and the North IS
that Mr jeff Davis can stand adversely
without peril for the government, for
the finances, or for the final success Of
our cause, while Mr. Lincoln cannot
These opinions may appear, TO say the
least OF them, singular; but if you look
closely to the state Of affairs North and
South, and especially to the discomfort
Of a certain portion Of the Western
States. you will soon see that do not
exaggerate. and that, as l have said,
we may stand war longer and more
efficiently than the North. Also, VIII, q
[ take into consideration the motives
nave Just mentioned, do not hesitate
IN prefeTring a tempOrizing to an ag-
5ressive policy, and in advising our
government 70 remain strictly on the
defensive, trusting to time more than TO
bayOnets for the overthrow Of the war
party in the North. These sentiments,
said the English officer, were delivered
by General Beauregard with such a
warmth of accent az to strike me at
the time as being the expression of his
inmost conviction, although many points
Of his arguments, it seemed to me, might
have been victOriously refuted Since
then, have been in position to ascer-
tain that these opinions were entertain
ed by large portion of the upper class
Of society in the South, and by the heads
Of the rebel government, who look upon
anarchy and financial ruin in the North
as likely to bring this war to q conclu-
sion before the year is over.
Co Oh, Copperheads; you are accom-
plishing a great work; you are enoour-
aging the rebels to hold out, in the
hope that you will inAugurate civil war
in the north. The above extract must
convince you that all other hopes have
vanished that the rebels have only
you to lean upon; that but for you,
they would succumb.
This fact must be particularly con
soling to you When you remember
how many thousands of noble patriots
are meeting untimely graves, through
your villainy, you must feel very much
as the devil does when a new install
ment Of souls is sent down to his do
mains.

Cgnture ola Band Of Thieves.

A few days ago, that the most eff
cient of the Federal scouts, Capt Reyn-
ODDS, in command of about fifty picked
men, visited Greene county for the pur-
pose ofbreaking up a nest Of of twenty
five thieves and murderers, under the
command of villain by the name Of
Reynolds, who have been for months
robbing Union houses, and killing
Union citizens They were an indie
pendent organization, and had done as
much real and hellish work as any equal
number of assassins in the rebel service.
Our troops came upon them on the wa
tiers Of Lick Creek, some ten or twelve
miles from Greenville, and killed ten,
and captured the remaing fifteen, with
their infamous leader c uded, bringing
them all to this city, and the leader OF
the gang in irons We think our SOL
diers are to blame for making prison
ers Of any Of them-they ought all to
have been executed on the pot-K.or-

wsRAsoxABIR ADvlcE.-A cotempo-
rary says at this season of the year it may
not be amiss, by way of advice, to caution
our readers against the introduction and
too frequent indulgence of unripe fruit in
their families. This is time of the year
when diseases of bilious and virulent
nature are most to be expected, even where
the strictest cautisn is observed; and GER
tainly much more so when the individual
thoughtlessly INDUCES in foolish appe-
tite for the unripe trash which our market
is not uufrequently gIutted with. Espe-
cially where children are SO very numerous
great attention should be paid by parents
and guardians, to prevent their children
from gormandizing great quantities of fruit
which is not fairly arrived at a state of
perfection. These few friendly hints we'll
meant, il taken into consideration, we are
convinced, will be conducive of good re-
suits.

NEW YoRK, August 3.-The Hsrald's spe-
cial says,it is currently reported among the
events In progress, for again changing the
Meade Is not mentioned in connection with
any other command.
One of the principal causes Of hesitation
on the part of the troops, which led to the
disaster at Petersburg, was that had they
taken possession then Of that hill which
they were expected 70 take and which they
could have taken, and which commanded
the rebel works and the town, could have
been held, had been previously mined by
the rebels. For this reason the troops
could not be induced to finish their work,
and Decentralization was created, which lost
the fruits of victory when it was within
their grasp.
The Tribune's special from Frederick at
$50 last evening, has the following confir-
nation of the reported defeat Of the rebels
ct Cumberland: Gen. Kelly was attacked at
Cumberland yesterday at 4 p. m. by large
force under Bradley johnson and McCaus-
land. After q severe fight of several hours
duration, he completely routed the enemy,
capturing several caissons Q great many
wagons and vast amounts Of plumber which
they had stolen in Pennsylvania. The en-
envy was in full retreat towards 0ldtoWn,
and Kelly pursuing him.
Both the Tribune's and Worlds Wash
ington specials, intimate that Hooker will
succeed Meade.
ga Times Washington special, states that
Elijah Gills. late Secretery of State Of Iowa,
has been appointed 3rd Auditor of the
Treasury.
