Capture or Rebel Pirates.

The Federal troops have captured some ten or
twelve rebel pirates who seem TO be directly from
Richmond, via Virginia amp Upper East Tennessee
They were picked up in the vicinity Of Loudon and
Kingston, and were evidently intending to burn the
Loudon bridge. They were dressed in the rebel
uniform and profess to have been sent out BY the
rebel naval authorities. They hoated down the
North Fork of ilolston, from opposite the Virginia
Salt Works, in small boats, sailing after night and
lying by in day time. They say they passed under
the bridge al Knoxville on the night Of the 22d of
February
Whether these spies are the Gorerunncrs Of an ex-
petition to come from Richmond or not we are not
able to say but The rebels hung Union men here on
the suspicion of bridge burning and as these pirate.
confess that was their business they ought to bopy

$4,000 Damages.

A Jury Of Knox county returned verdict of SiO-
OOO on Monday Inst, in favor Of the hors Of Sam,
Pickens, deceased, and against Sneod, Croaor and
Reynolds three leading rebels, and mon Of property,
Judge Pickens WIS State Senator, and u man of
some sxty-Gye years, and by his arrest and treat
mont, and confinement in the dead Of winter, died
in prison, His wife of similar age, was brought to
premature grave because Of the imprisonment Of
her husband, II was in proof before the court that
when Pckons marched through the streets, in Gus
tody, Snecd said "God id him, he ought to be
hung and Quartercdn II was in proof that Crozier
wrote certain inlammatory editorials, which were
published In the Register against Pickens, Hodges
den, and others And it was in proof that Reynolds
the rebel commissioner insutingly refused Pickens
counsel, while going through u mock investigation
This was n righteous verdict and meets the APP
proyal of all loyal men, The property Is here TO
make the money out of and II will be done, Let
these leading wealthy rebels, who were most active
in bringing on this rebellion in prosecuting Union
men, and in casting them into prison, be sued for
damages all over East Tennessee Let them be i'm
poyerishcd, and reduced TO rags, aye, even the beg
ging Of their bread. Let their property change
hands, and let verdict upon verdict be piled upon
them to their disgrace and let the records thereof
remain upon our Circuit Court records as an evil
dence Of their crimes trcachcry and eternal infamy
These three men were all lawyers, and knew
better than to consprc against the lives and prop
orty of law-abdng Union men, Snced and Crozicr
are cx-membcrs of the American Congress, and
Reynolds is an cx-paymastcr in the United States
Army. They have all taken an oath to support the
Constitution of the United States Instead of keep
ing that oath, they have held caucuscs, plotting
against the lives of loyal men, subscribing their
money to a rebel force tocarry on the war and at
tended at the depot, made speeches to rebel troops
and chcerod them on the hel-born and hell-bound
cause of treason Justice is ut last oyertaking
them, and they are standing out to the gaze of the
world as the hated enemies of loyalty and the
blasted objects of Gods displeasurcl

We need more Severity.

We are not of those who would counsel modera-
ton, either towards rebels in arms or guerrilas when
captured, or even those who sympathizc with them,
or give the enemy information as to the movements
of our forces at bone. Let us dispose of all home
rebels before we advance upon rebels in the Con-
federacy. A portion of these amnesty men more
richly deserve death than some who are in the rebel
army. We speak of that class of them who have
taken the oath alone to their property to con-
ceal their reasonable purposes and TO enable them
to serve bushwhackers and other rebel thieves with
out being suspected. The country is full of these
corrupt and unprincipled men.
