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. uis iiei uuurs. 1 We take it for "ranted that this diabolical I W 1 . n 11 C7 w:, ip RM;touitt oupntred ! siauenter ot our soldiers and we publish the story at full length, that our j . .. 1 j - .1 . i. ,i .i..

Whether they 'live or die rests with the authorities at Washington. The people ol Minnesota, to a man, arc iu favor of their im mediate execution. ' 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. . . 1 0 - 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 ! fur .ourselves this accorded.

' The population now remaining appear to be patriotic and well disposed. But the enomy seem to have better information of our moveraeuts than we have of theirs. , The last information wo have is. -that the enemy has abandoned this immediate section) of country, having retreated rath or precipitately to Washington and 1 Newborn. ; They seem to have heard, a short time after his arrival, of tho presence of Gov.

It is thought thai the expedition of the enemy was intended simply as a raid, lor plundering, burning, capturing ne groes, and possibly they looked to( the destruction of Tarboro " . - - 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. the loss of , the cause in which is involved proporty, and liberty, and -everything worth living for, or ! dying for. The Southern man who now doea everything to hold npand strengthen the bands of tue Confederate (government, is not only a good and patriotic citizen, but a sensible man, and the Southern man. who does anything to injure ifa credit or weacen us, nanas, is noi oniy a miserable traitor, but a consummate fool.
