Southern News.

" nave received the MemDnl AT
lanta Appeal Of March 30th. It is re-
markably barren Of news that can be
regarded as important However, we
CLEAN the following items which at least
possess the interest Of having been
taken from a fugitive Tennessee news
paper
GENERALS COURT-MARTIAIED-In Long
streets army the only matter Of general
interest is in reference to our generals.
Gen. Robertson, Of the Texas brigade,
has just been cOurt-martiaied on grave

deTgO the same ordeal, and Gen. Law,

ces from the front represent the enemy
quiet Wheeler's cavalry is vigilantly
watching the denOuement of the latest
Yankee prospective campaign. -Gen.

their movements.
Sherman's having takenup his head
quarters at Nashville Is regarded as a

who died in the Atlanta Medical Col
lege Hospital, Of wounds received in
the first days fight at Chickamauga.
The Appeal contains a card from
Major O. l. Bridewell, announcing him
self a candidate to represent Arkansas
in the rebel Congress. For the benefit
Of the Northern copperheads, we make
q few extracts showing the pre-deter-
mined purpose Of the South 10 divide
the country:
was a war man before the war. The
war has only convinced me that the
conclusion my mind arrived at az early
as 1861 were correct 1t needed the
blood Of the brave and the good to put
an impassable barrier between the
mixed Latin and cavalier race Of the
South and tho Puritan Roundheads of
the North That barrier, trust is
formed for aces = = United
with the North we were the " hewers of
wood and drawers Of water"-the
veriest slaves Of a pampered, athejstic
fanaticism, whose fantastic tricks have
made the good and pure blush since
they were first inaugurated by the witch
burners Of the seventeenth century
Separated from this people We can hold
up our heads with the best in the world,
and with the glorious facilities sur
rounding US on all sides, axe prepared
to present to history the best and most
Independent Government the freest and
happiest people recorded in its pages
l speak Of the North as a community,
n whole The good among them, and
there are many, does not invaHdete the
argument
A heightened alliance between the
Northern and Southern States has al D..
ways and viii always be an impossible
ty. We are a different people socially
we are different race we obey and
honor different laws
The Union with them was the rule Of
pressing necessity The disunion with
them was only the rule Of peace and
truthful principles which was only the
work of God

fred Holly, member Of COngre ; from
Coring county, Alabama, has absconded

Folks Department, with his headquar-
tiers at Mobile.
