cold llloadea murder,

A report comes from North Carclina Of a
shocking act Of iRhunanity performed by
the rebel officers In command III that State.
II il said that sweaty three loyal North
EaFUsiHians belonging to Colonel Fosters
regiment and taken prisoners not long ago
in an engagement botween oul forces and
the eneaY, were lsasged at KinstoR las de.

rebel ieaAaTs, bai the Raleigh iohrnnis give
repeFts OF the banging. and there appears
10 be 40 doubt that these twcnty-ihree poor
fellows were thus murdered in Geld blood
The behavior Of the rebel leaders recently
has ehown their desperation; like gamblers
whom losses have made mad, aud whom
raia starcs IN the face, they play wildly.
Our government will nol, We hope, let

Too Hard to Swallow !

Sam. Medary, editor of the ColumJu,
(O) Crisis, and an influential leader of
The Buckeye Democracy, said:
1T is well known that Gen. Mcclellan
has not one spark Of pretensions to the
Presidency excep; what he has made out
Of this war under Mr.. Lincoln. He never
held a civil office in his life. DeunisoD
brought him forward as a military man
Yet in three years, as a mere soldier, he
rises to the demands Of the Presidency tc
head party which is for pcace-a posi-
iion requiring Q statesman of enlarged
views and statesman's experience. And
for what? That few men who have got
bis ear may get foreign missions and home
positions, at the expense of the peace Of
the country and the lives Of their constit.
uents. This is paying too dear for such
whistles, and, for one, We protest agains'
it in behalf Of our bleeding, ruined, and
distracted country"

the Divine protection to our brave soldiers
and their leaders 10 the field, who have SO
often and so gallantly perilled their lives
10 battling with the enemy, and for bless
ing and comfort from the Father Of Mer-
cies to the sick and wounded and prisoners
and to the orphans and widows of those
who have fallen in the service Of their
country, and that He will continue to
uphold the Government a the United
States against all the efforts of public en-
emies and secret foes.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
