Pity for Rebel Ladies.

W. often hear expressions Of sympathy for "the
poor oppressed women who have suffered by the
rebellion. and Whose sons and husbands are in the
rebel army.
Our sympathies are for the poor. oppressed, and
down-trodden Union women, who's. sons and hus-
bands have been killed in battle by rebel scoundrels
and infamous traitors as all are who went younta-
rily into this war Our country is full Of Union
widow- and orphans whose house. have been rob
bed in addition 10 their husbands and sons having
been killed. Many Of them are destitute Of cloth
ing and provisions, even barefooed. These deserve
the kind regards and the laid and comfort Of all
Union men, as well &. Of the Government If We
had It in our power, We would relieve all such ut
once. Nay We would stop al ration. given to reb-
els and rebel sympath1ers and all aid from the Re
lief Association, and give them to the fsme. whose
parents aud supporters are in the Federal service.

Exchange OF Prisoners.

III. rebels owe vs. this day thirty-fvs thousand
prisoners, and utterly refuse TO turn over our men
starving and abusing them and killing them or a,
ct Anderonvile, Georgia. They refuse any equiv
alent for this number sent to them. Commissioner
Ould has acknowledged the receipt Of ten thousand
and still will not deliver up our men in turn.
The sum Of all this is the rebels have no honor.
They commenced this rebellion by acts of theft by
perjury and 10y assassination, and as the rebellion
progressed they have increased their crimes become
more and more corrupt and ten fold more the chill
dren Of the devil than when they first started out
Let Us prosecute the war with more yigor, slaugh-
ter them more extensively; and as We acquire their
territory and towns lay waste the one, and apply
the torch to the other. They mus. be impoverished
and ruined, They must be reduced 10 starvation,
nakedness, and want, rs punishment for their re-
bellious course. Let the leaders be suspended in
mid-air aud let their corrupt whisky-roted carcas-
ses hang until the buzzards feast upon their putrid
remains. Too much leniency, too much of forbcar-
ance and too much of ibcralty and humanity have
been shown 10 traitors Of rank and distinction Let
it cease and let the villains De- dealt with as snemie
to God and man

Getting their Rights.

By reference to our advertising columns it will be-
seen that leading and absconded rebels Of this and
the surrounding counties are getting their rights,
with compound interest. The Aid. in the Treasury
Department are sezing rebel abandoned farms,
town lots, and houses and the Federal Attorney il
arraignng them for coniscation in the approaching
Federal Court. They will be conRscated and sold
to the highest bidders, and the Government will SO.
cure the title and the possession Of the property
This is all right and sooner or later will be var
red out in every county. Treason must be rendered
odious, and traitors must be punished. There !. no
mode Of punishment more severe than to in,DOre9sh
them reduce them to want, and compel them to la
Dor for their daily bread Let them sec what "in-
dependence is, what secession is and what the
Government they are foong with is capable Of

Female Rebels.

There i disposition here to get up sympathy
for rebels Of the Feo'alt persuasion, and to make
some capital against the Government on account of
alleged bad treatment We never act rudcly to-
wards lady but on the contrary treat them with
all the consideration we can But this we do because
they are iad,s, and not because they are rebels A
noisy, talking, mcddlesomc rcJci ,coDea is not en-
titled to the respect Of any Union soldier citizen,
They are dangerous characters TO remain within our
lines they give information to the enemy they serve
rs ettcr-carrers and as mischief makers generally
We are cursed with Il large supply of this class Of
women in East Tennessee and they are to be found
in every town within our lines In some portions
Of the State, especially in Middle Tennessee and
Kentucky some Federal officer. Rirt with portion
of these she-devls, and extend 10 them favors that
are denied Union ladies
Female rebels old or young married or single,
widows or orphans ought to be required to behave
themselyes and failing to do so, they ought to be
sent beyond our lme,, where their dsloyalty and
bad behaviour will be appreciated. And those who
complain Of their bad treatment in sending them
ont, ought to be sent after them.

Let Us look into this grave question for II moment
The Black Republicans never did half rs much to

l. Thomas Jefferson, the father Of American de-
mocracy, first taught the doctrine that negroes and
whito men were created equals,

New York by the Democratic party and Martin
Van Buren, presided over the Constitutional Con-

I, If Van Buren, had died, Dick johnson would
have become President, and his negro wife would
have become the Democratic ojstr,sS Of tbs White
House
D. The Democratic party by legislation and con-
sttutional amendments, made the negro citiaen Of
Maine
6. The Democratic party when in power IN the
State of New Hampshire gave the negro the right
to vote making him the equal of the white man
:. The Democratic General Assembly Of New
York enacted law giving every ncgrs owning $3.50
the right to vote
