REBEL BARBARITY-One Of the cor
respondents Of the New York Tribune
with General Shcrman's army, thus
refers to rebel barbarity on the bat
tlctield at Rcsaca:

ing attention. Many of the cnemy's $
wounded fell into our hands during
the fight of yesterday, who were ten

balances, and we're cared for in our
hospitals, receiving the same atten.
tion as our own wounded. While
we were Ding this in obedience 10
the dictates Of humanity, and the
principles Of civilized warfare, the
rebels were. scalping our dead and
wounded on the field. Reelling
scalps freshly crt from the heads OF
our heroes, were found suspended to
the limbs OF trees by the hair, with
inscriptions written on slips Of pa
per attached like the following:
"How do You like this?' Gen Sher-
mans attention was called to several
cases of this kind, by persons who
saw these evidences Of savagery on
the part of our adversaries.

tions by truthful persons. After Fort

warfare that the rebels can commit
will excite surprise or credulity.

The Miscegen Party

There are in the United States about
seven hundred thousand mulattoe
sons whose mothers were of African de-
scent. put whose fathers or grandfathers
were white men. 1t is not probable that
of this whole number ten of them are the
children of Republican fathers. All the
rest of the seven hundred thousand were
begotteh by the so-called Democrats of the
Uopperhead and Confederate breeds
Where there Is one case of miscegenation
between Republicans and wencbes, there
are ten thousand between those who call
themselves Democrats and hegresses. The
Republicans want to have the blacks let
alone. and the only way to prevent anal.
gamation with them is to give freedom to
them. When once free, the male blacks
take care of the female blacks, and prevent
miscegenation. In state Of slavery they
are subject to the absolute will and brutal
usts of their so-called Democratic mas
ters, and a progeny of mulattoes is the
consequence. The whole African race in
the South is being bleached out by the
Democratic miscegenation. Emancipation
is the only preventative, and this the Val:
landigham Dem of the North and
South fiercely resist. Why? Because it
would put an end to miscegenation.- =
Which is the miscegen party-the Repub-
licans, who want to put an end to the vile
practice by releasing the female black front
the lustful clutches of the master, or the
Democrats who insist on retaining the pos:
session and control of them?

A young man named JOS W. Redding,
a Sergeant in Company d. 3sth Indiana:
reported to the Adjutant General day or

has probably been as varied and tindesif-
able as that of any single soldier in the
Uhioh armies. He was captured Septem-
ber 10Th in the battle of Chickan anga and
taken to Richmond, from whence he es-
capped in December. He was re.cabtured
within six miles of our lines on the PEN
insula, and again escaped while en- route
by train from Richmond to Americus,
Georgia. Making his way into East
Tennessee. he ran into another trap, and
was again recaptured by somc of Long,
