Rebel Barbarities.

5 The terrible massacre at Fort Pillow, and the reported repetition of the same bsrbarities at the surrender of Plymouth, N. C.. have awakened the most profound feeling among the loyal people of the North. Has it come to this r. all men. in our uniform, who are of skin darker than ours, but who are brave. ly, manfulIy standing up and fighting for us, to be murdered in cold blood by the 6e ndish crew ofsouthern chivalry? Are we of the North to be thus forced to read of such sickening and horrible barbarties from every battle-feld! Is our Government, is the President, is Con- grss to submit to it tamely? Is there no Eedress--no retaliation, DO resource left that shall check these barbarities
 These are the questions which the people are asking, and it becomes the Government to answer them speedily. Only the other day, Connecticut sent out a full regiment of a thousand stalwart men, oficered by some of the noblest and best of the sons of our State; only Saturday last, this regiment was reviewed in Washington, among many others in Burn sides Corps, by the President and both Houses of Congress, and warmly praised on all sides for their manly looks and martial bearing. Are we doomed to hear, then, that the COnnecti- cut 29th has been hunted down and cut to pieces, it's officers craci6ed, buried alive, and drawn and quartered, because the men it shall meet in battle have orders to give no quarter to colored regiments or their white officers?
 Perhaps it is given us to learn still further the lesson of the spirit which caused ana which still sustains this unlioly rebellion. Perhaps it is needed that more of our countrys brave de- fenders whose skins shine as the driven snow in contrast with the hearts of the enemy, should lbe offered up upon their Country's altar. to teach us how the enemy are to be met and treated. But so sure as the God of battles isa.God of. Justice, these lives 80 taken shall be sternly avenged!

NEWS OF THE WEEK.

THE SURRENDER OF PLYMOUTH. follow ing is the official report of Maj .-Gen. Peck Of the surrender of Plymouth. It will be seon that the Commanding General attaches no blame to Gen. Wessells, but, on the contrary, gives him and his command the warmest praise for their brave and determined resistance, in the face of Overwhelming numbers:
 Headquarters of the Army and District of
 North Carolina, Newbern, ~. c.
 April 21, 1884,
 General Orders, No. 66.-With feelings of the deepest sorrow the Commanding General announces the fall of Plymouth, N. c., and the capture of it's gallant commander, Brig -den. H. ". Vessels, and his command. This re- suit. however. did not obtain until after the most gallant and determined resistance had been made Five times the enemy stormed the lines of the General. and as many times were they repulsed with great slaughter, and but for the powerful assistance Of the Rebel iron clad ram, and the floating sharp shooter battery the "Cotton Point" Plymouth would still have been in our hands. For their noble defense the gallant Gen. Vessels and his brave band have and deserve the warmest thanks of the whole country, while all will sympathize with them in their misfortune.
 To the ohcers and men or the NaVy the Com- handing General tenders his thanks for their hearty cooperation with the Army, and the bravery, determination, and courage that marked their part of the unequal contest. With sorrow he records the death of the noble sailor and gallant patriot, Lieut.. Com. c. W. Flusser, U. s. Navy, who in the heat of battle fell dead on the deck of his ship with the lan- yard of his gun in his hand.
 The Commanding General believes that these misfortunes will tend not to discourage but to nerve the army of North Carolina to equal deeds of bravery and gallantry hereafter.
 Until further orders the headquarters of the sub-distrist of the Albemarls will be at Ro- anoke Island. Tho command devolves upon D. W. Wardrop, of the 2sth New York Infant ry. By command of
