The Spirit with which the North Wages the- war. ? Yankee poper-even the "West Chester ... (New York) Jt?ersonian-confesses to the atrocious spirit of extermination with which the North wages this war. tt says :' Five minutes conversation with an aboli tionist will reveal to you the fact that he con ceives that the people of the North actually own the people of th* South, and that it is nothing short of the most unparalleled pre sumption for them to suppose thaTthey have any right to houses, land or estate, much less to that of self government. u These med' are so intractable," say they, "so bitter, de termined, that there will be no living with them in the future. We must exterminate them and seize their property." This highly humaue and christian conclu sion is reached with the mostperfect coolness and composure. Of couise, why should it not be so? Are we not more civilized than they? Are we not more intelligent? Do j w? not exceed them in all the humane and gentler virtues ? lu a word, are we not the saints and does not the world belong to the saints ? Surely it does. Ergo, the South belongs to us, and long a3 wo can print green backs and buy people to do our fighting for ns-, we will keep up this war of extermination. We do not expect to conquer thom, hut we have two orthree to their one and with gen erals who are willing to turn wholesale butch ers, we can *' wipe them out,'' in the expres sive language used on Sherman's raid. This is tire programme now adopted. The war is one simply for extermination. It is waged for that purpose. The idea of being able to conquer the South has long since been abandoned. It is simply a cold, cruel war of bitter extermination. There is not even one spark of generosity to soften its composi tion of malignity, cruelty and slaughter. Over the beads of the men fighting more bravely than men ever fought, hangs the vilo threat of negro equality, and the-conlbcation of all their property, and yet the propIe pro fess to wonder why they are so bitter I This is like knocking a man down, beating him .nearly to death, stealing his clothes and leav iug him by the roadside in a pitiless storm, and then wondering why he does not love and embrace us. If these people who are urg ing on this crusade ef slaughter would sit down calmly for five minutes and ask them selves how they would like the same mea sure meted out to them, they could not de-* ceive themselves longer, unless as is most likely, they wished to be deceived. From JUexieo. * A letter to the Houston " Telegraph," from Monterey, Mexico, alluding to tho arrival of Maximilian, Rays: In the meantime it may not Le improper to cantion your readers to be very moderate in their expectations of benefits from_the new Emperor. The pirblem of Louis Napoleon in Mexico is not only not solved, but is still shrouded in a mystery that baffles the re search of the niosj, erudite diplomat. Max imilian's position on the chess board, wheth er as King, Queen or Parson, is too undefined to regard him as au^ht but the tool of a great minti, as the agency through which something is tobe done^wha', to man conjectures. Complications will ensue, new policios will be formt'd', old theories will be abandoned, and perhaps a monarchy may hi founded all is conjecture, yet amid it all another in sult awaits our foe. " The best Government the sun ever shone upon" will humble its proud head, abandon the doctrines of its fath ers, prove traitors to the promises of Juarez and recognize Maximilian^ among the powers that be. The bargain is made in Pari9. The consideration is specified. Grant may be de feated'or he may win, the Moncoe doctrine is abandoned, the United States is humiliated by tho South and stands stultified before tbe nations. If Maximilian recognizes the Confederacy the signs of the times are out of joint. Northern Presidential Cauvas*. Mr. Long, ef,Ohio, in a late speech before his constituents, thus sums un the issue pre sented to the people of thc United States in thc approaching Presidential election : The first step to bo taken is to declare for peace. Let it be bold, manly, dignified, but emphatic; so clear and comprehensive that the commonest intellect cannot be mistaken. Let it bea declaration as positive as the Declaration of Independence, and let it be signed ano" adhered to with as firm a deter mination as actuated the signers of that in strument, and the work is half done. Go to the people in this election upon tko issue war or peace; give them a free ballot, (and t' they will determine to have if you will g : them the issue of war or peace,) andi I J no fear for the result. They are not ling to yield up their liberty and Gecorne slaves, they are not williug to see hundreds upon hundreds ef thousands of their fellow men slaughtered merely to gratify the desire or perpetuate the power of a*y one man. This-is the issue I desire to see. In the Dame of alhthat is sacred is it not h'gh time that this sanguinary and cruel folly should be arrested ? Has reason entirely fled to brutish beasts, and have the American peo ple lost that sagacity and that intelligence for which they were ouce distinguished among thc nations ? Can it be possible that any considerable portion bf them imagine that any possible good can result.from the prose cution of this war, and from further immola tion before the bloody altar of Juggernaut ? Do they not discover that in the vortex of ruin which the war ha.i created thc material prosperity and wealth is sinking along with tbe proud American freedom which was once our boast and our pride ? From the administration of Mr. Lincoln no Wisdom or common scn.-e can be expected. It will continue to tread "in the downward carter of folly and crime rn the hope ,-tb?t upon the bloody car of revolution which is crushing the masses to death, its chiefs eau ride to positions of iinpcriul splendor and in dividual greatness. In the dark vista of the fu'ure there is not?me single ray of hope if the blessed suu of peace does not soon as cend the national horrisoir, and shed its efful gent rays upon our land. Do not, my fellow citizens, follow longer this worse than wiil o' tho wisp of Southern conquest ard subjugation, which is ?ea'ding this country deeper and deeper into the slough and mire of national degradation and ruin. Let us be j ist and g?nerons. Let us stand e Democratic principle, that ail just ernmcnts derivo their powers from the "ent of the governed. Though every thing ls, let us have no other Union than ed upon the consent of each and ev? tate comprising it, and let us spurn with infinite disgust and abhorrence the idea of a Coufedecacy "pinnedtogether by bayonets" and only sustained and upheld by arbitrary coercion and despotic powers. - Seimible advice, says "the Richmond En quirer, tbe " will o' the wisp" cf Southern conquest and subjugation has been pursued juto th? marshes of the James and Appomat tox quite far enough for any jjunsible people, In the real slough and mire of those swamp? the chase had as well bc abandoned. It requires not only much wnao to make peace, but a vast deal o?* mural courage--per haps more than to make war. Tho mob oi New York city were the real makers of tbi' war. Il now the exporieuceof three years o war-shall indure that people "to follow the advice of Mr. Long, and they will, by a uni ted elfort, defeat Lincoln, the pacification of thc country will not long be postponed. Pres ident Davis will not 6eek peace from Mr. Lincoln; there must be change of Adminis tration befere the Richmond authorities will make any effort^ except those made by their army, toward them'. .--? ?.- . Cen. S tone m nu and his Knitters. The Macon Telegraph of tho 3d, says: This Yankee celebrity arrived here on Mon day evening; accompanied by his stall" and es I corted by a guard of Confederate cavalry. He is a tall man, with light brown benni, and dark hair. His femires are-regular, but wore a dejected and haggard appearance. We are informed that he feels very much humilia ted at having surrendered to an inferior force, but says his ??en were so demoralized and. dispirited that they wouid noe fight. " He was assigned to quarters at Camp. Oglethorpe, where he will be abl? to reflect for a few days, on the vicissitudes of fortune, and to regret that he was mad enough to go so far irom home. .- To Brigadier General Alfred Iverscn is the country indebted for the dispersion and cap ture of the most formidable raid that hascver I been made in thi3 State. The battle pf Sun shine Church, which resulted in the surrender , ot Stoueman, was a decided success on his part and does honor to Gen. Iverson. AU of the enemy's artillery wai captured, and over one thousand splendid Sharp's eight shooter rifles, as well as a large number of horses. In thc engagement our loss was not over oue hundred in killed and wounded, while that of the enemy must have exceeded two hundred. Stoneman surrendered the entire force, but a' large j>ortion dispersed in the woods, and are now being captured and pur sued by our cavalry. We have strong hopes of capturing the entire force. ARRIVAI OF THE RAIOERS.-Fivo hundred of Stonemau'a raiders, captured by General Iverson, arrived here on yesterday morning. They appeared in good spirits, and did- not look as if :hey bad been caught committing their usual rascalities. They are a verygowd looking body of men, and infirmed us that they were picked out for the purpose of de stroying our communications. MOUE ot' TUE R'AIUKILH CAPTURED.-We have been informed by a trustworthy person that oOO more of the Yankee raiders were captured on yesterday, and are on the march . to this cit}'. Among them is a Colonel and a Major, with several officers of inferior rauk. We do not vouch for the above information, but give it as coming from a reliable source. Our cavalry is still pursuing the. dispersed body of raiders, and we should not be sur prised if every man is captured. ANOTHER PARTY or RAIOERS CAPTURED. We learn that a parly of raiders was cap tured in Monroe on Thursday, ft is stated that they numbered about five hundred, and w^re probably' those who escaped from Gen. larson when Stoneman was taken. They were encamped at the time our troops came. up m them. About fifty of the raiders were .killed. All of the large bodies of raiders, we be- . Heve have now been taken, although the country we are told is full of small parties numbering from ten to fifty. If tho citizens will assist our forces promptly and energeti cally, the country will soon be cleared of them.-Chronicle k Sentiue'., otb. PRESIDENT DAVIS.-A considerable clamor bas arisen against the President, in some quarters, from persons who have not hesita ted to charge him with negligence and in competency'. However specious these charges may seem in certajn cases, we would like to know whero a citizen can bo found to fill his plice? President Davis has won the un qualified admiration- of the world for his state tranship and judicious management of the adairs of the nation in" the most trying period to which it could be subject, and shall we now gain ^ay this testimony, and declare that our chosen l.tader hs.s abused the confi dence with which he was intrusted? We have always had a profound and abiding con fidence in the firmness, earnestness, and wis dom of the President. The Mobile Tribune justly says of Mr. Davis : He is morally and intellectually a grand man ; and knowing thia, we are impatient of censures which, we may suppose, arc unjust. One can hardly realize the difficulty of his position. No roan iriany tige has had heavier responsibilities than he. Conscientious, pro foundly earnest in his patriotism, it were im possible tu find a motive for a neglect of du ty or a perversion of good intentions to the gratification of any individual prejudice, or other unworthy purpose, unless it be assumed that he is mentally incapable. Who will as sert that, and attempt to prove it ? . SAVING HER BACON.-We were told yes terday of a circumstance by which an-old lady saved her bacon, which, we think, should be repeated to counterbalance some of the " d&e tricks" of the Yankees whi%Ii wp sp oft en hear of. ? .. It uppcars that just before Grierson made his way to West Point, considerable, alarm preceded him throughout tho country where he was expected to travel, and every person did all he could to save bis valuable and moveable property, to prevent it be&g sto len. A certain old lady who repides only a short distance from West Poi.;t, learning that tho advance guard of the marauding party, were advanciug, ard were within a short distance of her house, was in great dit* tresa as to what disposition bhe should make of her bacon, as she had a largo quantity in her smokehouse. Every bod}'about the place was hiding away their valuables but the old lady, who stood wringing her hands and cry ing out,41 my conscience," "bless my soul," " wheie on the face of the yearth can 1 hide my meat from these cursed Yankees*/" The Yanks kovojn sight. On the instant a brilliant idea struck the old lady, and she sang out^) her son^Uj^u Jeenis, come hero aud heip me '.hro?M Hfet into thc yard.'' And at it they wc3 KF-ng the yard with the bacoD. In a TRBBo/r.ents the Yanks made their appaarauce and dashed into the yard. The WrJtttftr they saw, of course, Was the meat. "An!"?exclaimed ene, "you have got plenty of meat here ; the very thing we want." Thc old lady being close by and listening, replied, " Yeas, we have got plenty of meat here, such as it is; and if'yer want it, yer can have it and welcome, for I shan't touch a mouthful long as I live ; for -this morning them derneel rebel sogers'come hero and took every bit of my meat, aud done something with it, nnd flung it in the yard, and thar it can Iny till it rots before I Cat it." The Yankee took the hint-thought it was poisoned--aud sho "saved her bacon." It is a pity that more of the people did not think of some moa us of keeping their meat. B-?y* A St. Louis paper tells this: A man andjwife were engaged in arranging for sepa ration. The difficulty ol adjustment was the baby. The^wiftj tearfully begged to be al lowed to keep " the dear little fellow," while the husband angrily rad persistently refused. At length the wife, almost threw the child into the husbands arms and exclaimed, "Take him, I can soou have another.

A special despatch to the Whig from Pe tersburg says : It having been ascertained that* the eneraj were mining extensively in frontof Gracie's brigade, on our centro, we determined tc stop their operations by countermining. Our culvert was -completed, and exploded between six and seven o'clock, last evening, blowing up the enemy's skirmish line and de molishing: bis m in tis,." The affair was a great success, completely .frustrating the object of the enemy at that point*, throwing the troops along his lines into great confusion. .?t? No infantry attack.was intended nor made on our side. Artillery firing along tba whole lines was very rapid for the space of an hour. A number of the euemy engaged in work ing the mine aqd those occupying the picket station are believed to bave been killed. A few shells were tbrowu *iuto the city af ter the explosion.
