THE NEWS.

GEN. TERRYS TREATMENT OF RENEGADES. y
The Ooldsboro' State Journal announces the tight
of a Mr. Swain TO the Yankees, and states, on in
formation received, that he applied 10 Gen. Terry
for protection on the ground that he has always
been Union man, and had managed, under one
pretence or another TO evade service in the armies
Of the Confederate States Gen. Terry, who seems
TO be a practical Yankee, replied that he had no
special use, except one, for men who we're TOO
cowardly to stand up for their country, right OF
wrong, when invaded, and that was to give them a
musket and make them fight, Mr.. Swain was ac-
eordingly placed in the ranks of the Federal army
This should be a warning TO the recusant soldiers
and Unian suckers generally. II they win not fight
for the South, he will be made To fight Tor the
North. They must choose whom they shall serv e,
the Yankees or their own people.
THOMAS PROGRAMME.
The Selma Exporter says that all the reports it
has received indicate that Thomas has bis eye on
Mobile and other points in Alabama. A force will
probably move down from the Tennessee river on
the Blue Mountain railroad in conjunction with the
column that is said to be getting ready Pascagou-
Ia. Then we are likely to have raiding parties in
Mississippi from Memphis, yicksburg, Natehez, &C.,
to prevent troops from going to Blue Mountain and
Mobile. A very intelligent friend who has seen a
good deal of the Yankee movements lately writes
us that Mobile will certainly be attacked."

Department last night was unable to furnish us
