Rebel Barbarisn-A warning.

Rebel Barbarism-A Warning.
A Federal surgeon, recently out Of the
Southern prisons. ststes. from bis own
observation, and from the admission of .
repentast rebel surgeon. that our prison
ers were inoculated by the rebels with
syphiaie virus. under preteuce Of vacci-
mating them for smallpox, in order to
break down their constitutions, and unfit
them for farther military duty. Hor.
rible sores broke ont on their arms and
bodies. and many died from the effects
Of this inhuman treatment.
This brings Us to q matter nearer
home. Last Winter, in this place and
vicinity. number Of persons were inoc
ulated, as they supposed. with vaccine
matter, but dreadful sores were the con.
sequence, which in several instances al
most resulted in the loss Of life or limb.
The effects were precisely the same as
described by the surgeon, and there is no
manner of doubt that these persons were
inoculsted with syphilitic virus! As we
understood at the time, and are still in.
formed, the matter was originally OBJ
tained from the arm of soldier, in Mis-
souri,. A person who was in the Mis-.
souri, service, says that hundreds Of SOL
diers in that State were inoculated With
that loathsome matter, and that it spread
through every command, and msny were
discharged for disability arising from
this cause. So there can be no question
that this was what was the matter in the
cases in this vicinity.
Some persons think that any one can
vaccinate, if he or she only has the mat
ter, and that small doctor fee can thus
be saved. Vaccination is delicate bus.
iness, and should be entrusted only to q
regular physician or surgeon. In the
end, it will be found that more is gained
by paying competent person a small
fee for performing this operation, than
by allowing some bungler to do it, be-
cause it costs nothing.
Another thing: All who were inocu-
lated with the poisonous and spurious
matter, are as liable to contract small
pox as if they had never submitted to any
operation whatsoever and SO they will
discover, If they expose themselves to it.
There is yet some smallpox about, and
all who have not been properly vaccina-
ted, should have it done by competent
person, at once. Vaccination that did
not "tske." amounts to nothing; nor is
an attack Of syphilis preventive against

IT WILL CONE Our RIGHr.-A North
Carolina paper says: 1.-The slaves
throughout the country universally under
stand that they are free and so do their
masters, in most cases-and the relation
between master and slave is already be-
ginning to change gradually into that Of
landlord and tenant. or employer and en-
ployee. The quondam slaves generally
desire to remain where they are for the
present. They. as well as their late mas
ters, have their local attachments. which
it is not easy to break off without some
necessity for it. Let what may be said
on the subject. the whites AMI blacks Of
the South are destined to soon get along
together much better under the new re-

necessary is plenty of Federal bayouets.

The New York Herald advocates negre
suffrage! In speaking Of the reconstruc-
ton of Virginia. it says: We think.
however. that as African slavery is out of
the way. the sooner this question Of negro
suffrage is settled, and settled in favor of
the liberated blacks. the better it will be
for the paci6cation Of the South and the
whole country on this new national plat
form Of universal liberty. If not soon
settled, it will become question of mis-
chievous political agitation. whereas, with
its settlement on the basis Of universal
suffrage. the political agitation of the
negro question as well as the slavery ques-
tion, will be at an end. As for the bug
bear Of negro social equality in this con-
nection, society will take care of that
we have no fear of it whatever.

ERNoR OF TENNEssEE.-Parson Brown
low, Governor OF Tennessee, issued a
proclamation on the 81 ult., offering Q
reward Of s.. 200 for the delivery of the
rebel Governor. Isham G. Harris. to the
civil authorities of Tennessee. The de-
scriptive portion is quite characteristic
and vtfy rich, and reads as follows:
This culprit, Harris. is about Eve feet
ten inches high, weighs about one hun
dred and forty-6ve pounds. and is about
6fty-6v years of age. His complexion
is sallow; his eyes are dark and penetrst-
ing-a perfect index to the heart offs traitor
with the scowl and frown of demon re-
sting on bis brow. The study Of mischief.
and the practice of crime have brought
upon him premature badness and grey
beard. With brazen faced impudence,
be talks loudly and boastingly about the
overthrow of the Yankee army. and en-
tertains no doubt but the South will
achieve her Independence. He chsws to-
bacco rapidly. and is inordinately fond
of liquor. In his moral structure, be is

state Of public sentiment. or Of taste that

Of Harris, set him at liberty.
We begin to think that JEFF. Davis
will not Be hanged. nor any other lead
ers of the rebellion. About the worst
that will be done to them, will be sen.
fencing them to imprisonment for life.
or banishing them from the country.
And in the political changes incident to
this country, the so called Democrats
and Conservatives are sure, at no remote
period, to elect a President, who will
make it one of his first and most reli-
gious duties to pardon the traitors con-
fined in Abolition bastiles, and revoke
the sentences of banishment-and thus
will end the punishment of the leaders Of
the Great Rebellion. How can treason
be made odious, and the consequences
terrible. by this process?
