Brutal Rebel 0utra ees.

The rebels become more and more fiendish in
their treatment of Union prisoners, and seem to
take delight in numbering them in cold blood.
We have some fresh outrages to record.
On the I'd of March, B. Arthur, L. Bouris
and John X. Morris, residents of Clermont coun-
ty, members of the 5th Ohio Cavalry, went out
side of the Federal pickets near Huntsville, AL
ALBANIA, to visit some friends. They were pounc-
ed upon by guerrillas in the evening, who inn
mediately threw the young men into well, and
covered them up with several feet of earth
After two days absence a force went i'll search
of the missing soldiers, and found the well par
tally filled with fresh earth. They dug down,
found the bodies, and learned the facts of the
murder from neighbor. The ruffians robbed
the young men of $l35 before brutally burying
them alive.
At a recent skirmish near Sparta, Tennessee,
a portion of the 5th Tennessee Cavalry were at
tackled by overwhelming numbers by the reb-
els under Ferguson Seven OF the 5th cavalry
were killed and fourteen taken prisoners. The
Nashville Union states ON the authority of Lieu
tenant Carter, that the tiendish Ferguson took
the prisoners to place about two miles from
the battle ground, and there ordered them all
murdered, and his orders were executed to the
letter. The Union calls for retaliation for these
outrages at once.
Two members OF the Iouh pennsylvania C'tV-
airy were inhumanly murdered by a band of
guerrillas short time ago. A party ofthe 18th
at Gen. Crawford's headquarters were out on a
scout, when several fell into the hands of the en-
emy 1t was decided by the inhuman wretch
es that two of the prisoners should suffer death.
The doomed men were chosen by lot and their
throats cut from ear to ear. The murderers
even compelled the other prisoners TO hold their
comrades while the knife was applied Three
of the assassns have been taken and sent to the
headquarters of the army.-CLeU. Her.

To the Editors ofhe Erening Post:

IOtte Editors Of the ECehtR9 FoSt:
| have political opponent, who, in almost
every argument we have on the slavery question,
makes the positive assertion that at the time of
the formation of the Constitution the southern
states were desirous of limiting the time of i'm
porting certain persons" (meaning Africans) to
the year 1900; but that the New England States
insisted upon and voted for the period being ex-
tended to 1908, for their own special benefit
Not having the documents at hand to refute this
reflection upon the Puritan character, and as
this question is to be debated during the COM
ing political campaign in all its multifarious
phases, will you please to throw little light on
the subject by your paper, for my own accomo-
dation, and also of your numerous readers?
A SUBSCRIBER.
Neither our correspondent nor his opponent
can be very we'll read in our history, or they
would not ask information of this kind. Ifthey
will look into the Madison Papers they will see
that South Carolina and Georgia We're the great
sticklers for the slave trade, while the New Eng
land States were earnestly opposed to it. Of
the slave states, Virginia, Maryland and North
Carolina had already prohibited the importation
ofslaves, and the prohibition by the federal gov
ernment was postponed to 1903 solely at the re-
quest of Georgia and South Carolina, which re-
fused to come into the Union unless the trade
was kept open until that time.-[ EDIToRs EVE

The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times writes:
The American Minister at Paris has collect
ed enough evidence in regard to the Rappahan-
mock, to satisfy him that this vessel, if allowed
to go to sea, ought by every fair construction of
international law, to stand in the same relation
to the French government as the Alabama and
Florida do to the English government, and he
has therefore given written notice to the French
government that it will be held responsible for
all the damage she may do to American COM
merce.
"Ths official notice of the American Minister
at once gave an increased gravity to the affair,
and the Emperor, whose attention had been
specially called to the subjectassured the Amer
lean Minister in long conversation, that the

be, should be stringently executed

Letter from professionally

WASHINGTON, March Is, 1864
Talking to a very radical man, few days ago,
one of those who think that Mr.. Lincoln has not
come up to the extreme standard, and that he
hesitates to take what is called ultra ground,"
he said, in his frank way, that he guessed, after
ali, Abraham would have to submit to another
term. Meier 1UdS there q more O1tDrOpaiOus
time" he continued, " to S1odp horses than HOlo.
a few months ago l thought we were near the
end of the rebellion; at present l don't think we
have reached the middle of it. How do you
think a new, fresh man would meet all the terri
BILE troubles growing out of such state offacts?
Even if he were of our party he would make
many changes, and Heaven knows how many
experiments. If of the other, then God help our
poor countryl Many things have taken place
under Lincoln that l do not approve-very ma
ny; but | would rather such mistakes, wholly
unintended as they were, should be perpetrated
by one | support and confide ill., than that L
should be oppressed by the dreadful thought
that they were committed by one who was la
boring for the destruction of his country.
What better argument could be made against
the " one term" cry? Two terms have already
been accorded to faithful President. If Wash
ngton, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and jackson
were reelected, why not Abraham Lincoln?-
Do you want fresh man introduced into try
ing and responsible position which it will re-
quire years to understand? Mr.. Lincoln came
into his high office inexperienced and new
His native common sense, his even temper and
his consistent refusal to be driven when he
thought reflection was best, and to be forced
away from position once deliberately selected
and held, are now added to knowledge of his
duties and to full familiarity with the people.
He has not an enemy who, in the midst OF his
satire and his SANDER does not admit that he is
"honest" What an immense advantage it is to
have spontaneous verdict like this in favor of
the head of a Government in the midst of a war
such as no nation has ever experienced! have
never pretended that Mr.. Lincoln has not made
mistakes. He admits himself that he has made
many. But who could have passed through
such tempests as those of the three years gone
by with less? And what new man would be
able to pass through the hurricanes before us,
and near us, without committing a thousand
times more no matter how honest or how able?

News FROM SoUTH FLoRIDA-It is reported
that number of citizens and deserters from the
Confederate army have gone over to the YAM
KEGS and have taken the oath of allegiance to
Lincoln 1t is also said that some have agreed
to furnish large numbers of cattle to the enemy,
but arrangements are being made to take care of
them, both Jew and Gentle, and we hope to be
able to record a brilliant affair before long,
Our cattle are valuable to them, as they certain
tainly are to us, and we should protect them by
all means.-Gd Gainesville Cotton States.
