Joking. A " Confederate soldier, writing to a
newspaper, relates a conversation ho had. with a
Yankee picket, somewhat in this style:
Yankee How many Regiments has the Old North
. State got in the field ? ' ' '
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. :

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

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. Two names were drawn,

and John Flynn of the 51st Indiana. No day was
fixed for the execution. .

that this woman had been makingsandry purchases

of them pfi'at the Depot. Upon an "examination,
a large number of the notes were found secreted

"Heavy. Firinq" at the Capitol Yestcr-
day, wnen tne speaker bummer leu ana tue
Commons adjourned, we had just cleared tbt door
and had stopped to talk to some one, when we
heard "heavy firing" below. . The firing was rapid,
while it. lasted, and the excitement intense,- for a
few momcjits, but when t' smoke had cleared
away the cry 9 "nobody ' rfc on either side" ran
along the lines, the seriousness visible but a
moment before wore off and the wfrole thing was
viewed only as a light comedy.
The facts,, as near as we could obtain them, arc
these : Jt seems that there was- some bad blood
between R. Y. McAden ef Alamance, and J. H. ;
Foy, of Onslow, both members of the House of
Commons. 'McAr.cn attacked Foy at the foot" of
the stairs a the Wesf end of thc.CapUoI, as the
latter was leaving the House, to j drew a pistol
and fired twice, retreating as he firu, so it is said
by those who seen it; while McAden attempted to
use his, but the piece snapped and be' fired no
shot. The thing was soon ort r, and when we came
down stairs a few moments afterwards both parties
had disappeared." About the controversy wc know
nothing; but we are glad to be able to state Ihg
fact that "nobody was

J. F. E. Ilardie, o Asheville, is appointed an

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

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.

Senate. Mr Ramsey introduced a bill to re
peal an act entitled "an act to protect the people

between the ages of 18 and 55, "villi certain ex
emptions. Mr Graham said he would like to hear
the. opinions of Senators.. Messrs. Outlaw and
Copeland were opposed to, the exemption of mili
tia officers. Considered the majority of them an
incubus on the military organization.
A bill to Tepeal the stay. law, except as to
soldiers in the army, was taken up. Messrs. War
ren and Graham favored it. Mr Wiggins moved
to postpone its further consideration to the 1st . day
of December next. . Agreed to.

"The result of all which is that we hate the Sooth
as wc hate no other people on earth."
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

DEVASTATIONS IN AU-.
- . 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.
