Yankee Brutality.

A gentleman Of high responsibility
communicates the facts Of another
brutal outrage committed by our enc
mics sometime ago.
Young David Fan Meter, son of
David Van Meter, an old influential,
wealthy and worthy citizen of Hardy
county, died of wounds received in
battle. He was private in the Har-
dy Company Of Cavalry, at that time
commanded by Capt. VIM. Henry
Harness, i'll the twelfth Regiment com
nlanded by Col. A. W. Hartman of
this town. When the corpse Of this
worthy young gentleman was being
conveyed to his home for burial, the
two horse wagon containing his coffin
was overhauled by some of Mulligan's
brutes, the horses were taken and the
wagon with its sad burden left stand
ing in the road ! Upon remonstrance
however they were induced to return
one horse, but the other a very fine
dun horse, they retained.
A fair example of the charities and
humanity Of our enemies who desire
us to return to their tender embraces,

There is Work For All.

In looking back to the period Of the
Revolution and understanding the
difficulties which surrounded the lion
hearted people Of that age, we can but
feel an exultant pride for the eycrtions
put forth and determination shown
even when ultimate defeat made the
less sanguine falter. This spirit Of
our revolutionary ancestry oyercame
all the obstacles in the way Of their
SUCCESS and brought that independence
which we, having enjoyed, appreciate
so highly that we are risking al to re-
tain it. 1t is the same spirit of de-
termination, which our brave men in
the field have so frequently exhibited,
which for them has as often elected
the applause of even prejudiced world
and which those who are enjoying the
comfort of home must not only feel
but also exhibit. No feeling but Of
ultimate success porvades the men of
our armies, no matter how frequent
are the calls for mGn to override our
brave troops by the mere force Of ex-
aggerated numbers, and they do not
despond but now stand ready to meet
the hosts of the enemy rs they have
ever met them steady and unAinching.
we must feel that the fierce battles
which have been fought with such great
success to our arms are not the last
nor perhaps the most bloody that will
bs engaged ere our struggling land is
free, and knowing that our enemies
are cxerting themselves to their ut
most to make the next campaign a
decisive one by offering the greatest
inducements to volunteer, among which
are unheard of bounties, we must also
be ready to make any and every sacri-
flee and act out our determination to
be free. Our Congress seems to feel
that there is heavy work before us
next Spring and Summer, our SOL
liery know it and our people who are
at home should comprehend the fact
that some Of this burden is upon them.
They must plant 10 their greatest ca
pacity and when their crops are raised
they must not hoard them for high
prices but sell to the Govern
ment and consumers at fair prices or
if necessary be ready to give to the
Government, if they would preserve
their property and above all their in
dependence. Feed and clotho the men
who will be in tie field next Spring.
and their families at home, and the
Yankees may tfer bounties and call
for men for ali time and they can not
subdue us, fail to do this and it will
not even require the force they now
have to place us in a servitude to
which there is no slavery in COMPARE
son.
Our army and people can be easily
subsisted by The labor at home through
out the Confederacy, though some To-
calities are scarce Of labor, if the greed
of selfishness can but be dismissed
from the hearts of our people. Then
letus but do our workat home and
the army can and will do it's work and
all will be well.

no COMPROMISE WITH THE REBELS

Mr.. Baldwin Of Mass. submitted a
resolution in the Yankee Congress, to
the effect that any proposition to ne
gotiate with the rebel leaders, for the
restoration of loyalty and order in the
Confederacy, was simply recognizing
those leaders as entitled to represent
and bind the loyal people Of the Uni
ted States whom they Cypress, and
giving countenance to their preten-
sions, and should be rejected. This
was tc DO away with the effect of 4
proposition made some time since to
conirr with the leaders Of the rebellion
upon what terms peace could be re-
stored and the Union preserved, and
was adopted by yeas 50 nays "a, thus
showing that it is The intent and pur-
pose Of our enemies to subjugate us.
Perhaps the Yankee Congress is of the
opinion that if they pass the bill Of
Mr.. Howe, of Wisconsin, to raise one
million Of men for ninety days they
can certainly secure the subjugation
Of the rebels, and hence their utter
opposition to ending the war in any
other manner Ifso, there is quite a
difference of opinion on the subject.
The New York TIMES says it would
take three months to muster them in
to service, and three months longer to
drill and brigade them and $4,000
officers to command them, who can't
be found. It speaks very truthfully
perhaps of the result in the following !:
considering the state of the South.
however, it would seem wise for our cru
saders to take at least million of sheep
with them to cook as they went along, and
it would be well for every nan to drive his
own animal
They would be sure to die like cock
reaches before they ever got near the one
my And we need hardly say, that when
they did meet him, ten thousand of such
troops as Lee or Johnston command would
be match for one hundred thousand Of
them. and would readily drive that number
off the field in utter rout.
The sole result OF his .'grand uprising
would, therefore, probably be the desola.
ton of some hundred thousand Northern
homes, and the leaving down South in the
hands Of Jefferson Davis s'ragmufins' one
million muskets, one million hats and coats.
and pocket -handkerchiefs, several hundred
tons of pie and hard tack, and, we were
going to add, one million pairs Of panta-
looms but, we believe, that our fugitives
stick to their pantaloons as we'll as their
paptaloons to them, even in the widest
rout. In word, no force can carry either
food or clothing to the Richmond captiyes
except highly disciplined, we'll organized
and perfectly manageable one. led by able
and experienced officers The Senate Com
mttee on Military Affairs know this, SO
they will of course not waste much time
over the consideration of Mr. Howe's BILL"

day, gives interesting news from that city
The small pox is raging terribly among the
Yankees and negroes there being 600 cases
in the city. Ii consequences Of this and
the scarcity offorage the main body Of the
enemy had moved up to Straw berry Plains
and the prolific country on the French
Broad leaving garrison of about 600 in
Knoxville. A negro barber from Cincin-
natl is recruiting negro regiments there
A member of the 8th Texas cavalry,

the French Broad road and met them near
the Charckey river on Saturday.
The Yankees made Int feeble resis-
lance and retired ia tie direction Of Dan

still pressing forward yesterday. Very
heavy firing was heard in that direction
which ceased at dark.
