The Register, Gen. Harris, and Mrs.
'--S surratt.
We alluded yesterday to the fact that
the rebel organ ofthis city was nothing
more than an echo of the rebel organs
at Richmond. Indeed, for all practical
purposes, we may call it mere branch
of Pollard's late paper, the Examiner,
one of the most violent and virulent
of the reconstructed sheets in that citv.
Although controlled by Northern born
and bred men, it delights to speak of
the yankees" after the fashion of its
Richmond eXemplars, and to retail all
their catch-penny phrases about the
"Rump Congress" and to initiate their
expressions of contempt for Northern
people and Northern ideas. We notice
yesterday that in pursuance of its ac-
quired Southern instincts, Gen. Harris
is stigmatized as ga member of the
Military Commission that hung Mrs.
Surratt." A few days ago he was SINH
larly referred to as one of those who
had been connected with the "perse-
cution and hanging of women" The
editor of the rebel organ thinks it was
very Infamous in the General to have
been one OF those who tried and sem
fenced to death that modern Borgia,
Mrs. Surratt, who was, we may say,
next to Booth himself, the life and soul
of the plot to assassinate Mr.. Lincoln.
And yet while the rebel editor thus
showers his denunciations upon the
head of Gen. Harris, he has not a
word of disrespect or reflection for
his present patron Saint, President
johnson, who approved the finding and
sentence of that military commission
of which General Harris was but II
member, and who ordered Mrs. Surrat
to be hung within few hours after af-
fixing his approval to the report of the
commission. We remember no instance
in this country in which such short shrift
was allowed criminal. No body, we
presume, not even those who sentenced
her, or those most appalled, at her name
less crime, expected such an unprece-
dentedly prompt retribution. And yet,
as we said, the bold rebel editor of the
branch organ here, has not a word of
censure for the President for thus or
dering her doom. Not he-never once
NOT any. On the contrary he is de-
lighted to speak of the "honesty, fidel-
ity and capability" of the great and
good Johnson. And this, too, notwith-
standing the aforesaid johnson could
have arrested the execution up to the
last moment, as he was besought TO do
by Mrs. Surratt's spiritual advisers,
and given her week or two for prep
aration. Her fate was entirely in the
Presidents hands. This being so why
does the editor Oft rebel organ not tell
us something about the man who really
did hang Mrs. Surratt, and not expend
all his virtuous indignation on a poor
Brigadier General, who was only one
of several such that found her guilty ?
We call upon the rebel editor to tell us
what he thinks of President Johnson's
part in the performance. He has told
us enough about General Harris. Let
us hear hereafter about the man who is
more responsible than any one else.

POLLARD AGAIN.-H. Rives Pollard,
late editor and proprietor of the Rich
mond Examiner, will shortly commence
the publication in that city of a new

Southern Opinion. Pollard intends to
make this new journal us rebel and
traitoreus as his former publication,
and has already offered three premiums
of one hundred dollars each for the
best poems on the following subjects
respectively: "The Confederate Dead"
THE Valor of the Confederate Sol
diers," and "The Prisoner ut Fortress
Monroe"
As showing exactly the character OF
the newspaper that Pollard intends to
print we make the following quotation
from his prospectus, received by yes
terday's mail:
"While the Southern Opinion shall nd
vocate such obedience TO the Constitu-
ton and the laws as has been promised
by the people of the South, and shall
support the reconstruction policy of
Presldent johnson as the only means
by which the country can be saved from
the savage and bloody rule of Radical
ism, II Will accept the Yankee as a fact
and logically and JOreUer as q foe:
lGhether an lcar or peace, or IN the feId or

and hypocrites, and knaves, for this or
that temporary purpose, may attempt
to glaze and conceal this fact; but what
stronger evidence does one want that
the hatred of the South does exist in
the North, and with increased intensi-
ty, than " hat is furnished in the spirit
OF the legislation and debates of the
last Congress, in the temper and re-
suits of the recent political contests in
the North, and still more in the ruff
manly assaults made upon the Presi-si
dent of the United States in his late
tour in the Northwest, only because he
was suspected of sympathy with the
South, and of being in favor of giving
to the people of the South their copsti.
tutional rights! This hatred between
the North and South does exist, and
VIII exist for generations TO come, de-
spite all efforts at Cancellation, all
Establishments, mutations and vicissi-
tudes."
