+. A REBEL LETTER.

Among number of Rebel letters
in our possession which were captur.
ed during the Atlanta campaign, we
find one written by one Carroll S.
Smith at Fort McRca, Aug %, 1861,
while that place was being besiged
by Col. Harry Brown of our forces.
Judging from the terms Of the con-
text, it is presumed that this fellow
was an officer, at any rate he was an
intelligent man and wrote 4 fine
hand. We lay theffollowing extract
from the letter before our readers as
a curiosity, and respectfully recon-
mend him to the administration as a
tery proper subject fora pardon and
then lucrative appointment, say a
clerkship at Washington, as there can
be no doubt but that tho valiant
Smith ifliving, is now hearty sup
porter Of Johnson's policy, a good
democrat and one of the long suffer-
ing and oppressed gentlemen who
are dsprivedof the right of suffrage
by the tyranical military Reconstruc-
ton Bill. But to the extract:
ave want to take thcplace assoon
as possible so as to have one grand
hanging DONE We can hang them
all by due process Of law. They have
oil violated some law for which they
can be hung. For instance, wc.;will
hang old Brown for negro stealing
and all the others rs his accomplices.
Our principles are neither to ask or
give any quarter. They are OYER
running our country in Virginia, de-
stroying the propertyof the people
with fire and sword, trampling every
thing sacred and honorable underfoot
and therefore should be put to death
and if we ever get over to Santa Ro-
ga their doom is sealed, and wipe out
such a foul disgrace as there are on
Gcds creation to the last man.
This war in my estimation is no
ordinary war, and should not be con-
Quoted on any recognized PRECEDENT.
They (the Yankees) have invaded
our territory without any provoca-
ton, with the avowed purpose Of our
subjugation, bowling for blood. and,
blood they should have. Every
scouhdrel taken this side Of the Po-
tomac should be put to death, his
head placed in a mortar and shot
over into the enemies camp. AS long1
as they remain on our soil we should
resort to every means III our power
to drive them off, and whom powder
and fair means fail, let poison and
strategem take their place, until the
soil Of Virginia after it is enriched
with the carcascs' of Yankees dead,
shall be purgcd of yankees living,
and by that means show tho Blood
hounds, that so long as they wage
war Of subjugation iagainstns,.it must
be also'a ware Blood and death. T
Your affectionatc friend, q

NORTH MISSOURI RAIL
ts,at ROAD.

It was supposed by some persons
that the announcement of the nego-
tlating ofsS600, 600 of the bonds Of
the North Missouri railroad was pre-
mature and doubtful, but we are.
able to say, and so with alacrity,
that that amountof bonds hive been
negotiated, and asaconsequence thai
road will! now be pns'.ed forward. as
fast rs means can doit to the Iowa
I line on the main stem, and to Burnsl
| wick nthe west branchJ What we
| regard as specially beneficial to st.
Louis in this road, is. the construc-
ton of the naain line to- Iowa. The
city needs that trade, and the peo-
pie of Iowa within reach of ST Louis
TO dcal here. The construction of
the North Missouri road to the Iowa
line will put it in the power of the
people OF large portion of Iowa to
reach this city; and when their own
projected roads connecting with the
North Missouri are constructed, a
still larger portion of Iowa people
can have tho means of trading with
us. &fif83tHl no ~, f
This is why it is good news to
hear Of the negotiation of the bonds
of the North Missouri railroad COM
.pany. 1t is not only good news for
this city, but the people of Iowa; es-
pecially for those of them who live
on the lines of the Central Iowa and
st. Louis and Cedar Rapids railroads.
This news ought 10 stimulate the
com panies having these two project
ed roads in charge toivigorons and
earnest action. We trust it will
have the effect.-St Louis Times.
