' ' ' Confederate-r-One hundred and sixty-tive.- "r Yankee Why, that's all the -fighting men 70a have, ain't it ? Confederate No, not one-half; but when all the original secessionists turn out, you Yankees may " kaikulate" on catching h 1. The Yankee picket scratched his head and then "changed his base." ".The desire here is that the Northern people may taste the bitter dose so fully administered to the people of the South, that they too may the better appreciate the blessings of peace, which wohave been so barbarously deprived. There is but one sentiment; in this section, and that is peace, but it must be upon such terms as involves no surrender of honor, an everlasting separation from the North. Sulisbtiry Watchman. Yes, "everlasting separation from the North' that's the only way we can ever have permanent peace. It seems impossible that any southern man who is not crazy, should desire a reunion with a people who have acted like savages and have done everything they could to incite insurrection among our negroes. : 3i? il auuius us giuunuati'Mi iu copy uie IOI- Ti 3- i-.r. t-- f 1 lowing from the Milton Chronicle : - - - Col. Brown against Reconstruction We are authorized by the Hon. 'Bedford Brown to state that any impression sought to be made, either from party prejudice or from misapprehension of his remarks, that he had advocated a reconstruct tion of the old Union, is entirely" destitute of foiicdation. Believing as he did that the destruc tion of the Federal Union would bring incalcula ble calamities on" the country,-he opposed iPwfth wh a t'ever ability' he could tirl Lincolri'fesWteifo coercion. That being in conflict with his Stafe Bight doctrines, he voted for secession in the Con vention; for the largest means of men and money, both in the Convention and Legislature, to resist it, besides having voted with his colleagues for" resolutions before the Legislature explicitly de claring against reconstruction. More than this, he has, in answer tS numerous enquiries as to the question of reconstruction, uniformly declared that he believed "it impracticable and undesirable, after the violent civir and internal war which had raged between the two sections. Thus it will be seen that this gentleman is no reconstruetionist, and we hope people will now stop doinc him the imustice to represent him a recon struetionist. It is a slander county, the State, the South.- on the man, the -Milton .Chronicle. Retaliation. Richmond, July 7. A draw ing took place yesterday at the Libby prison for two Fedpial captains, to be executed in retaliation for the shooting of two Confederate officers in Kentucky by Burnside.

It was discovered that this woman had been makingsandry purchases in the City with Counterfeit Confederate Notes, and even went so far as to attempt to palm some" of them pfi'at the Depot. Upon an "examination, a large number of the notes were found secreted upon her person. -They were of Yankee manu facture, of course, 01 the kind intended "to cheat any Bank," on account of the excellence of the imitation: Mrs Starr was put in Castle 1 hunder. 11 ichmvnd Unoilirer .'

The appoint ment of agents at other points, under said section, is left discretionary with trie, and I appoint no other, believing the object can be better acconi plished by your funding the money and bringing hero the bond and the certificate of the depository; because, under existing laws, the i reasurcr is au thorized to receive the taxes only upon the settle mentand certificate of.the Comptroller. As I have not the power myself to receive the taxes excepting on the certificate of the Comptrol ler, I deem it best to appoint an agent at Asheville only; which I do because the act, as to the'aptoint- ment of an agent there, is imperative.

The above were the concluding remarks of Judge Edmonds, after reviewing at length the differences between the North and the South, in a Lecture delivered before three thousand (as alleged) of the most intelligent citizens of New York, in the spring of 1861, just before the commencement of hostilities. Now, it will not do to say that this was only the opinion of one man, for bis tbrcc thousand intelligent auditors gave their approval, and as the . lectare was published in their news papers, none dissenting from the sentiment, the inference is inevitable that his conclusions were correct, and if so, ' the South had only the alter native left them either to withdraw from he North and maintain a separate independence, or to submit to continued aggressions tfpon their lights from a merciless and Tindietire people, who acknowledge that they hated the-South as they hated no other j people on earth; aad that, too, before they could set up any preteiitton Uiat-'tnr wmtu naa cone then or their Government any injury. 1 uvi mg ton Journal. - , - Save Your fc'rs.-r-The Augusta Constitu tionalist gives timely , warning of the necessity of saving Garden Seeds. - Every one who has a garden, and raises a stock of Peas, Corn, Beans, Cocumberii . - ... i . ii . i - . . . or other vegetables, snouia uise especial pains in saving the seed, not only tor ; the ir own use, but , wine for sale.

KANSAS., ; ; J It appears that in Arkansas tho Federals are practising the same policy of burning provision and agricultural implements that they have prac ticed in other sections of our had. The lesoni of destruction follows in ' their train everywhere.' Evidently they hate adopted this system of war fare against women and children in order, as they say, "to starvo , oat tho South if possiine.' The Littlo Rock True Democrat gives the" annexed ac count of their doings In that State: ; ' '4 It has been Jtnown for weeks tWtf tho Federals iftWUkAjtias were destroying: all farming, imple ments, seising all provisions, and preventing tho planting of crops, with the avowed determination to starve the . people into submission. We sup- Sosed it might '.be possiblo that this was tho via ictire craelty of some cowardly commander, who vented his spite on women and . children. Bat it is now certain that orders to that effect have issued from Lincoln's War Department. In , Phillips, Chicot,' and other counties, whero the Federals hare a foothold, they have and are homing all the fcnccvplows and farming utensils they find. They dcstroy.the property of widows as well as of male citizens. They are sending thousands of women and children within our lines, destroylWall 'the provisions mcy unu, anu preventing Hie PCOpiO from planting. ',. ,... k .. Out of many cases reported to us is one of a widowed lady, at whoso house a number of officers and men called and demanded their dinners. After having eaten they told her that they bad orders to scizo all her provisions, destroy all the farming implements and fences, and prevent her from having a crop raised. They left her a week's supply of provisions only. In Phillips county they killed every milch cow, shot down evory hog and cut -down fruit trees. In Chicot county they have mado a clean sweep t This is not civilized warfare. )t is a war upon women and'childrcn. It is a wholesale "robbery and national murder. Yet, so timid has been our policy that we have let these villains navigato our waters because they protested against tho barbarity of firing into boats. WeJiave paroled jay hawkers, whose hands were covered with tho blood of murdered patriots. We have forborne until for bearance ceased to be a virtue uotil it has ceased to bo manly. That an enemy so violating all the rules of warfare, and waging a barbarous, fiendish war, should be treated according to tho rules of civilized war is absurd. Surely, these men should be hung 'as soon, as caught.. They have hrown away thejr stars and stripes and hoisted tho blick flag. They arc warring upon women and children, anJ whencausrht. their cantors would boas uatifia- f ble in killing them as they would. bo in killing; a wild beast. - FOREIGN NEWS. Lord Palmcrston, during a speech at Guildhall, London, stated that- France and England wcro in accord on all questions "of pcaco or war in the East or in tho West." Earl Rasscll stated in tho IIouso of Lords that the blockade maintained by the American fleet waa sufficiently efficient to etitlu it to be observed. Ho believed, also, that there was every desire jon the part of the American Government to prevent injustice from being done to neutrals. The London Times anticipates that tho Emperor of France, "delivered from the Mexican war,A will make his "powerful voice" heard in America in favor of peace. ... The official report of the fall of Paebla caused much joy to Napoleon. He forwarded a letter of thanks to Gen. Forey, in which he disclaims tho idea of a permanent rule by conquest. . Mr: Slidell, the Confederate Commissioner, Las had a very long conference .witU the Emperor of France. The Emperor sent for him ancl-had a private tele a Icte with' him at breakfast.' They did not part until tho Council of Ministers assembled. This interview lias given strength to t'ao rumor 'that renewed offers 'of mediation In American affairs, by Napoleoa, are likely to to tho. result of the fall of Puebla. The London Times, in an editorial on tho lata peace meeting in New York, says it sees in ft somo reason for thinking that the civil wer rosy bo touching its close; but, at the samo time, admits that it is a very doubtful question. It thinks that Mr Lincoln would not object to peace if ho knew how to reach it, and that the'mccting may pave the way. fcsT The British Steamer for which the United States Minister Adams lately granted a permit, much to the disgust of British Merchants, to go to i t - , . juuiamyrua, a ,iu9 enrncci war material lor. too Mexicans, is said to have beau captured at sea by the French, and sent as a prize to France. ., The Chattanooga Rebel remarks upon tho cxtea j sivo and universal shngofj.be times has wrought; upon the popular mind and tongue, and gives the following illustrations '? .
