The REBEL CONGRESS sMANIFEsTo.-Th
list OF severe terms employed in this paper
TO designate the purposes and acts OF our
government and armies in the present con-
hlct, IS long and bitter one, well nigh ex-
hausting The vocabulary of fopprObrious epi-
thets, and strongly indicative OF deep and
burning revenge, as we'll as of nervous
eagerness to fire up the Southern heart to
the last desperate struggle. The paper
abounds in gross exaggerations and glar-
ing ialsehOols, and all tending to the same
end. II probably originated with J. l..
Orr, genuine son Of South Carolina, and
IS carefully wOrded, with an eye TO the crit
ical position Of the rebel leaders and the me-
cessity Of employing every resource toavert
their merited doom. These shrewd dis
cerners of passing events are not inobserv-
ant of the fearful portents now visible in
their political sky, threatening treason with
an early and impartial reckoning. They
make this !mpassi0ned appeal 10 their con-
stltuents for one final desperate encounter
in full view Of the contracted area Of their
jurisdiction, and the hard necessities press
ing them on all sides. Nothing at the pres
ent stage OF the war can ever retard the
progress of the Union, but a very general
conscription and the most determined val
or. The final result is not doubtful. The
Why then do they persist? It 10 for what
they call honor. There is feature of honor
peculiarly Southern. 1t is the offspring of
cOwardice. It will not allow Of the abxn-
donment Of project on the mere discove-
ry of its hopelessness. It is SO keenly SEN
sitive to the suspicion of timidity, that it
pcrseveres in the face Of every discourage
ment, until certain failure is palpable to all
the world. This is the most rational solu-
ton Of the present persistence in the rebel
lion. The rebel chiefs have not the obtuse-
ness to ignore the sure progress Of the ma
tional arms, or tae ability and purpose of
the government and loyal people to crush
out the last vestige of treason. Their bet
ter Judgment says-"We have miscalculxt-
ed; our project OF separate nationality is
for the present hopeless" But the coward
ly apprehension that from some quarter
may come an irritating taunt Of lack of
courage, htifies the wise suggestion and
impels them on to the unequal strife. On
the altar then Of this Dagon of false honor
the Southern people are yet to lay the cost
" sacrifices of their blood and treasure.
When that demon is fully gloated, the arch
traitors TO the government and deceivers of
their people, if not caught and hung, will
escape to other lands, and peace and pros
perity will again ensue.

TABRhD AND FEATHERER-Somee eight or
ten years ago, an iron manufacturer Of
Youngstown, who stood high in rank
among business men, and was reported to
pc wealthy, suddenly disappeared, leaving
MS wife and family, and taking with him
an unmarried woman with whom it was
alleged he had been on terms Of too great
intimacy. After his departure his affairs
were examined, and it was found that they
bankrupt, and that he had probably de-
camped with from thirty to forty thousand
dollars.
The interesting pair were traced to New
York, where the iron manufacturer was
found to have secured . passage for himself
and the woman 70 England. AS thestean-
or was about leaving he got on board leav-
steamer suddenly left tthe dock and set out
on her voyage, fulfilling the scriptural
saying that zone shall be taken and other
LETT The luckless female beckoned to
the departing steamer in vain, and she was
compelled to return in sorrow and shame
to Youngstown, where she took up her resi-
denOe with her sister.
On Monday of last week prominent
lawyer OF Youngstown suddenly left his
house and the wife Of his bosom. coming to
Cleveland and going TO Pittsburg. BY a
curious coincidence, the sister Of the wo-
man whose journey to New York had ended
SO unfavorably left about the same time as
the lawyer and also went to Pittsburg via
Cleveland. Enquiries led to the belief
that the lawyer and his imm0rata were en-
acting second edition of the adventures
OF the iron manufacturer and her sister.
The deserted wife, on learning the facts,
picked up her household goods and sought
refuge with her parents, realizing the truth
OF the assertion that
"Oaths are straws, mems faiths are water
cakes,
On Saturday of all last week, the female
fugitive, to carry ont in all points the re-
semblance to her sisters history, suddenly
returned to YOUNGSTOWN. and the sisters
again lived together. This was too much
for the virtue of youngstown. It was bad
enough for them to carry misery into other
households, but to return in triumph to
the scene of the ruin they had caused, and
where they might carry mischief into 9TH
er families, was too much to be borne
So the good wives of Youngstown mediia-.
ted revenge for their wrongs, past, pre-
sent aud prospective.
On Monday night last, whilst the crying
damsels were locked in the embraces Of
MOrpheus-that very improper person who
10 no respecter Of beds-a posse Of infuria-
ted females, with blackened faces and dis
guised habilimente, suddenly entered the
sleeping chamber and dragged the Sleep
ing beauties from their couch. The clothes
of the offending damsels were torn to
shreds, and themselves reduced, as far as
physical condition went, TO the state in
which Eve appeared before she learned the
dress making business. Then they were
attired ia close fitting garments Of tar and
feaihers, and sent into the street 10 s.artle

binary appearance.
Considerable excitement exists in
