I Lying seems to b the principal stock
trade both Of abolition and rebel iUurnalian
We give specimen bricks from the Ne
York Tribune and Richmond Examine
The Tribune says:
I'VE stated the other day that It IN
been repeatedly declared that cClellan Va
prepared to surrender the remnant Of hi
army sitter the battle Of Malvern-in fact
that IL attacked ct Harrisson's Bar, q b
expected to be, he would have laid dow
his arms, and then and there abandoned for
ever the struggle against the rebellion"
The Examiner says:
ION Monday night the yankees had
grand ball at the Trout House under the di
rcction Of Mrs. Clemments, its present pro
prietress. Gen. Sherman and staff and hi
corps and division commanders p.tronize,
the affair, About dozen women Of tn
town, not decent lady amongst them, 1t
tended the thing But what was wantin,
in white was made up in niggers. They
mingled oh, how they mingled. Black anc
brown, white and grey,
"They began to dance with the lancer's
quadrille, in which Gen. Sherman led of
Mrs. Clements for his partner. Ills Wis 7,
Wis, Gen. Howard, had one Of Msyor jim
Calhoun's wenches as partner. One Of Sher.
mans staff danced off with one Of j. B. Blu.
cinanan's niger women that he took there
himself. Billy Soloman's niger woman len,
the charms Of her presence, and her figure
in the dance and had great deal of attcn.
ton paid her. Billy Markham brought two
niger women to the ball, and looked on the
scene with grinning admiration"
Which is the bigger lie in the above is a
matter Of great doubt. The magnitude oil
neither commands orr admiration.
Speaking Of Shermans order depopula-
ting Atlanta, a. New York abolition journal
says:
lie does not force negroes to leave with
their masters, nor does he adopt the equality
inhumane rule Of dragging them away from
their dear protectors on spurious plea OF
philanthropy. lie takes the rational and
philanthropic, and, We will also add, the
philanthropic ground, that, except where
military necessity clearly requires a differ
ent policy to be followed, the negro may be
left some choice in working out his own fu-
ture destiny"
he confines his forcing process to white
men, women and children. The dear Niger
can stay or 60, just as as he plcases-it is
only the white trash who are compelled to
pack up and travel"
For McC..lLAN.--The soldiers are f,r
Little Mac all over. The following is from
a ST. Paul telegram Of the 22d:
AS the tn regiment left for the front
today, loud cheers were given for McC,ei-
Ian. To call for cheers .or the slnutty
joker, only groans were the response.

This rebellion has assumed the character
of war as such it should be regarded; and
it should be conducted upon the highest
principles known to christian civilization
1t should not be war looking to the sub
jugaton Of the people Of any State in any
event 1t should not be at all war upon
but against armed forces and
political organizations. Neither contisca-
ton ofproperty, political executions of per-
sons, territorial or anzation Of States, nor
forcible abolition Of slavery should be con
tcmplated for a moment. In prosecuting
the war, all private property and unarmed
persons should be strictly protected, subject
only to the necessity Of military operations.
All private property taken for military use
should be paid or receiptcd for; pilage and
waste should be treated as high crimes all
unnecessary trespass stcrnly prohibited,
and offensive demeancr by the military to-
wards citizens promptly rcbukcd. Military
arrests should not be tolerated, except in
places where active hostilitics exist, ard
oaths not required 10y enactmen,s constitu-
tionaily MAGE, should be neither demanded
nor received. Military government should
be confined to the preservation Of public
order and the protection Of political rights.
Military power should not be allowed to in
tcrfere with the relations Of seryitude, eth
cr by supporting or impairing the authority
Of the master, except for suppressing dis
order, as in other cases.---lsc Ciellan's Har-
