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

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.

Mr. Fillmore says:
The fact is, that I see 110 reasonable prospect
of a restoration of tlijs Union'?the object nearest
my heart? without a very great change in
the avow.ed policy of this Administration ; and
I see no prospect of changing that policy but
by changing the Administration itself, tlence,

. that they assisted in the capture of Atlanta,
a fact which proves that Sherman has

tho following paragraph from General Orders No.

office, August 27th, 1864, which- is so plain in its
provisions that they cannot be misunderstood:
IV. Tho families of soldiers, as described in tho
eaid act, are the families composed of the wife or wife
and children, of any person who belongs to the army;
the widow, or widow and children, of any person who
died while in the service; the mother and sisters ot
tiny soldier or soldiers in the army, and who reside
with thein as members in the ?umc family, or were
dependent upon their labor for support; tho parents
or sisteis of r.ny person belonging to tho uitry, who
reside in tho same family with them and who derivo

Gen ltlUTLEit is at the head of this chnrateristie schein^

of tho North. The unfortunates, separated iroin fathers

where they are to work for their food and clothing.'?
This, with "education and religions privaleges," is to
be their compensation. No wonder the "colored citizens
of Williamsburg, N. Y.,,! have held a meeting
"condemning the movement" Well did the Anglo

of freedom in Biich n withering atmosphere. It would
be better to bo in the Stato prison ilnio to he soldiers

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. If piled up in a ten- aop'o lot, thcyt
j would he nearly two hundred feet high. And'
