-the desperate nature of the canse in which it

only to-be disappointed again, anjl again,

wafted to them thatmore than thirteen Urn es

YANKEE OPEPATIOKS DELOW KIXS
- TON. '
The Yankees are committing all .kinds of
depradations and outrages in the eouniry be
tween Newbern and Kins'od, and it would
seem that cur troops are doing little or noth
ing to check the movements of the marau-
d.era. Ctl Sfi. jVilliams is,' we bear, very
sick, and General Cliogman is confined by
an injury to his foot. So that the command
devolves npen Col. Wimbieh, a very worthy
gentleman, but not the man, we take itrfor
that prompt, energetic and decisive action
by which alone emergencies can bo success
fully met and, dealt with. Ve are sorry,
too, to lesxn that Col .Be verhout Thompson
is on Hand in that region, and of course ma
king all sdrta of mischievous mistakes. , Col.
T. whole publio Lfe bas been a mistake.
His mistake on Deep lliver was very costly
to the State, abd his mistakes at Ilatteras
and Newbcrn were highly beneficial to the
Yankees. But still the mistaken poliey of
keeping him in important positions is perpe-
o
vered in, and now we find him in the vicinity
of Kinston, destroying costly railroad bridges,
without any sufficient reason for so doing,
and contrary to ihe remonstrances of cooler
headed men.
If steps are hot soon taken to give moro
efficient protection to our loyal-and suffering
citizens in the region to which we have refer
ence, they will come to the conclusion that
they have been abandoned to the tender mer
cies of the Yankee villains k

DEATH OF BKIG. CEX. McCObK.
The news of the bloody death of this Yan
kee miscreant will be everywhere greeted as
a just retribution for his villanous deeds. 1
McCook was one of the most maliciouscru
el, and vindictive of the Yahkeecfficials,
his name ocoujiog a position cn the scroll of
infamT but a little below that of Butler, Me
Brute. Oar readers, perhaps, will remem
ber the statement made some months since
by thellev. Geo. C. Harris, Rector of the
Chfireh of the Holv Trinity at Nashville, of
the treatment received by him at the hands
of McCook. In case, however, this instance
of Yankee brutality . and tjranny may have
been forgotten, amidst tha'many instances of
outrage infiioted en the South, we will make
a quotation from McCook's language to. Mr.
Harris. Mr. Harris having been arrested
and brought into r MoCook's presence, was
thus accosted by him: '' ' .
The60 guards are mine are my reprsentatives,
and the permit with wbic yoa were to'w.s them
emr.aW fr.m me, as an ifiicer 4 the United

A DEGENERATE S(X OP niS SIRES.
Among the speakers at the late war meet
ing in Washington, wast Edward Carrington.
The following is the report of his remarks : .
Geo. Carriogton, United States Attorney
for the District of Columbia, said he was op
posed to the introdaotiop of party politics in
tho present condition f the country, j He
drew a vivid picture 0 the Republic as it
was before the rebellion. iHe warned the
secessionists in this city from hoping to ex-
pect grace or favor lrotn Jen. xavts, ana re
marked, "your only bjpe is in Abraham's
bosom."
This blasphemous traitor to the South has
disgraced the blood of
revolutionary, aaces-
flows in his veins,
tors and patriots which
and which we hope wi?) ; be let out by some
Southern sword..
