This, Bnya the Richmond Whit/, is n war of extermination. Tho nnl?>p of fimvn ^ . w WW V??V? V? VA tl/iil 1 ?Jll CitV" idan, executed by that officer with remorseless severity, was not wanting to convince us that tliq object of our enemy is to extirpate the inhabitants of tho Confederate States, aud to settle the country with Yankees and uegroes. j T^hc whole course of the war, especially since j the Emancipation Proclamation of Lincoln, ! bears incontestable testimony to the design, J which is further strengthened by the revelations of the Northern press and the utterances of everv man connected with the party now paramount in that country, who had addressed the nnblin ainno 'PI. - n- ? r v.?<?v uvvui. XUC LilllKl'CS aaa peculiarly sensitive to the opiuion of the world, and it wiis to influence that opinion and to justify the foregone con olasion of their Government, that they invented all those falsehoods respecting the treatment of their . prisoners and the massacre of their negro soldiers. To the same end was fabricated the atrocious lie with regard to the deuth of Dahegren, who was killed in a night attack by our troops, when it was so dark . that it was impossible to distinguish one per- 1 son from another, but who was represented by the Yankees as having been deliberately murdered in the broad light of day. To the sameend are the Yankee populace coutinually stimulated by their press with tales of Confederate atrocity, which, in ninety nine cases out of one hundred, are pure, inventions, and in the hundred are ou'ly true.in so far us the case is j one of retaliation for brutailties perpetrated by i the Yankees. The desigu is to get up a ease which may justify any excess of cruelty they may think fit" to perpetrate*, in the eyes of the world, fa order that, under its shelter, they may carry out their prc-dctermincd schemes of murder, apd devastation. If. they can induce Europe to believe that each instance of deliberate Vtrocity ft only a ease of just retribution, their vanity and ambition receives Ample satisfaction, and the Yankee nation becomes the steirn and irresistible Nemesis of the. Continent treading the path of vengeance with swift and certain steps, and with remorseless justice 'exacting atonement from the Wtong-doer, even in the hour, of his triumph. t* w.'-i..'- 1- -t...

A Thoroughly Yankee Calculation. A writer in the Jefferson County (New York) Union, who has been making calculation relative to the number of men killed thus far in this war, gives the following results : "Thert# j have been enough already slain to encircle our i State, if their dead bodies were laid in one con-' 1 tinnons line. If they were placed in coffins and corded, they wonld count thirty-nine thou; sand cords. If laid in :? wall twenty-five feet' ' thick and thirty feet high, it would be over a 1 mile and a quarter in length. If five feet thick' and ten feet high, the pile would reach across' : the State.
