Gen. Lee. A correspondent of the Fayette-
etteville Observer, ?iitiug from the araiy in Vir
ginia, says:
Gen. Lee stays in a small tent, notwithstanding
the weather. Like Napoleon, he refuses quarters
in lordly palaces and prefers to share the life, of
his soldiers. He has the universal respect and
admiration of the army as far as my observation
extends. I was at his headquarters and had a
good opportunity to see and converse with the
man who wields in his hand the destiny of our
Confederacy. He seems to be some 60 years of
age, about 6 fc-et high, and weighs probably 175
pounds. He has a noble countenance, mild, gen
erous and manly; a quick, soft dark eye and a
firm intellectual brow. His beardis full and long
and nearly white, covering a rather dark face ot
fine shape and well formed features. His man
ners are those of a high-toned gentleman, with
whom refined society, the business of the world
and the character of men are alike familiar. He
speaks io a pleasant tone, distinct, slow and care
less, but to the point, and with an easy, but not
useless flow of language. His dress, furniture and
equipments are simple, neat and necessary, and
he is entirely approachable by the meanest pri
vate, without any salute, form or distinction of
rank. His staff officers mingle with him and act
in his presence as they would with an aged and
esteemed friend. There is an irrcsistable some
thing about him that commands respect, and you
go away from him satisfied that he is a man of ge
nius, talent and greatness, but why you cannot
explain. His family now reside in llaleigh, and
he has a daughter at St. Mary's School. He is of
Episcopalian persunsion. I saw on the Comp
troller's book that he had taken 58,000 N. C.
State Bonds at one time, and perhaps more again.
The Military Massacre in Missouri.-
Some time ago we published a statement from a
New York paper, that Brig. Gen. McNeal, of the
United States Army, had caused ten Confederate
prisoners to be shot at Palmyra, iu Missouri, be-
cause a tory citizen of that State had been captured
by our lorces and carried on a prisoner. We .now
have full particulars of the massacre from the
Palmyra Courier, a Union paper. It is a tale of
dtmonism and horror, snch as the annals of the
war had not before paralleled. It is a much
worse case for the enemy than the account hereto
fore published: for, with all its bitterness and
opposition, the Courier clearly shows Allsman to
have been a legitimate prisoner of war, as well as
that most odious and detestable of characters, a
spy and informer against his neighbors.

diaps have been convicted by the military com
missioner, at the lower Sioux agency, as partici
pants in the late horrible massacres, and condemn
ed to be hung. Whether they 'live or die rests
with the authorities at Washington. The people

Negroes in Illinois. The Salem (111.) Advo
cate, of October 23, says:
A week or so ago, some dozen contrabands were
sent from Cairo by abolition emissaries to the
sprightly town of Olney, Richland county. On
the arrival of the negroes the abolitiondom of the
town was in ecstacies. But the people the true
people who came to Richland county when it
was a wilderness anii settled it up, declared thej'
would not submit to tLis outrage. So they gave
public warning to all persons of the county not to
harbor any of the negroes; if they did they would
have to suffer the pehalty of the law; and immedi
atly gave the contrabands notice, and sent a com
mittee of citizens to see that they left on the first
train. The contrabands left and went back to
Cairo, saying, "golly, we'se gwiue back down
Souf; dey use niggers better dare then Norf, if
the bobolitionists does lib here!"
A member of one of the Illinois regiments
who has been in Kentucky and Tennessee writes
home that -Lincoln's emancipation proclamation
had made most of the Union men in those States
strong secessionists. One sentiment only, he Says,
pervades a majority of the people of those States
now, and that a bitter and determined resistance
as one man to the Federal Government, until the ,
last man in the South is exterminated.

. I be organization has been found to extend
to
all classes of the community, clergymen, orofes-
sional men, farmers, &c. The whole substance
and machinery of the conspiracy has been dis
covered. A jury of twelve good men are erapan
nelledin each county, and the guilty parties are
brought before it and the evidence taken. Sev
eral of the guilty, have, after condemnation, made
full confession, and while under the gallows de
clared tbatr they deserved death. In Guinsville
twenty-two have been hung." Trials are now going
on in all the counties. The testimony goes to
show that most of tlie initiated have joined the
society since the 15th of September.
Tho Marshall Republican, November 1st, says:
: A week br two ago, we gave a brief account of
the troubles in Cook county, growing out of the
discovery of a treasonable plot to surrender that
portion of the State to Federal authority. Cook
county is a Border county, contiguous to the In
dian territory, and is thinly inhabited, a great
portion of the settlers being originally from Ohio
and Indiana. It seems there was a secret organi
zation formed, having signs, grips and pass-wot ds
The members were sworn to secrecy and those
found worthy were entrusted with three degrees.
The first degree bound the member to secrecy and
to avenge a brother member's blood. ' The second
degree was confined to robbing,'." jaynawkng, &C
The third contemplated the re-establishment of the
old Union: By some means the whole plot was
discovered, and created intense excitement.
About seventy men were arrested, tho most of
thftm, as we understand, low characters,' with here
and there a man of limited influence. About
twenty-four of these were tried" and" executed
when the community was freshly excited by the,
intelligence that the son of the hotel keeper at
Gainsville, (whose name we do not recollect,) had
been waylaid and assassinated '. several miles. Iron1
twn. Colonel William C Young and. several
others went out to get the body, but had. not
reached the spot, wheu some' one in ambush .shot
Young through the head, killing him instantly.
Such was the exasperation caused by thej50 assas
sinations that the community hung several others.
The number executed in Cook county, at last ac
counts, reached 42, and two others were shot in
attempting to make their escape. ' The extent of
the plot was not known, but was not supposed to
be very extensive.'' How could it be, when there
are probably not a thousand Union men (if so
many) in the State? It wa9 ', triced,; however, to '
Grayson county; some few arrests had been made
at Sherman, and one man was condemned to be
hung. - Others, it was expected, would be summa
rily dealt with. Altogether it is a, strange affair;
that a body of men, not numbering two hundred,
should concert a plan of this kind, inviting inva
sion, when they were not living in a country
which an invading foe would be likely to run the
hazard of entering, and when they niust have
known that the discovery of tbeir plans would be
visited with condign punishment! We must infer
that thieving and robbing was at the bottom of
the affair. , ,
Since- writing the foregoing, it is rumored that
several persons have been hung in Grayson couc
tyand among them a Dr. Lively.

A STRONG APPEAL.
The arguments and appeals for the intervention
and recognition in England are stronger than we
could suppose, from the revelations and utterances
of opinion permitted to reach us through the
selections f the Northern press. We simply
mention the fact, and do not wish to express an
opinion. We believe if we had shown less desire
for recognition and more active 'exertions in and !

CONFEDERATE AND CONTINENTAL
MONEY. ! - : t
It has been with surprise and regret that 'we
have heard men who ought .to know better, ex
press the apprehension that Confederate money
will become as worthless us the 6ld Continental
currency. Such an opinion as thii amounts to an
admission that the cause of the Confederate States
is hopeless, and that we shall fail to achieve our
independence, for just as euro as we succeed in
establishing cur position as a free and independent
nation, just so surely will 'every obligation in
curred in the attainment of this great end be re
deemed. If, on the other hand, we fail, what, we
should like to know; will be the value of any Stato
ISaok.niouey or any other description of property"
in the-j States now imposing the Confederacy?,
Not one copper. 'This" continued disparagement
of Confederate currency this apprehension that
it will become as worthless as' Continental money,
is calculated to have no other effect than' to' bring
dif aster upon 'our 'cause, and the loss of ull our
property, if not by confiscation Outright,' by the
somewhat slower, but not less certain procew of
the most grinding taxation. Should the South bo
oomjuercd, her aitizens will be taxed for the pay
ment of the enormous debt incurred by the North'
io the war waged for oar subjugation, as well as
for the payment of the lurge debt incurred by ua
in the impotent effort to achieve our indepefad-,
ence. These are undeniable faots, and it does
seem to us most extraordinary that men will not
see that the surest way to hold our property, as '
well as to secure oar liberty, is to maintain in onr
dealings the credit of tho Confederate Govern
ment, and that the surest way of bringing about
the loss of both is to disparage that credit.
The comparison of the Southern Confederacy,
when it shall have established its independence
as a nation, with the United 8tatc when they
emerged from the war of tho Revolution, at if re
gards their respective ability to redeem their obli
gations, ia preposterously absurd. Our fathers
came out of a seven years' war with a sparse pop
ulation, au undeveloped country, and a debt which
was to them indefinitely larger to them than any
that we shall incur. Since that time the 8tates
of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Missouri, Texas-and Florida States all within
the Confederacy have been acquired, and sine
that time the culture of the Cotton Plant, tho
great lever of commerce, has commenced in this
country, and we all know to what point tho pro
duction of that article lias been carried. Can
there be a doubt, then, that an independent Con
federacy, Containing within its limits a climate anJ
soil admirably adapted for the production on an
extensive scale of cotton, sugar, tobacco and grain
crops of every description, and possessing, too,
mineral resources of incalculable value, with rail
roads and large navigable streams in everjr direc
tion to afford access to market, will possess a basia
of credit which will enable it folly to meet every
obligation which it bas incurred or may incur?
How worse than idle, then, is the comparison of
the "promises to pay" of such a Government with,
the Continental money issued during the Revolu
tionary war wah Great Britain! Let, then, tho'
croakers, if their disease is not chronic and in-
curable, think of the undeniable facts we hare'
stated, and discontinue a coarse which so directly,
tends tp cripple the Government, and bring on.
