Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 7. (ed. Frank Moore), A company of Cherokees. (search)
A company of Cherokees. Major Thomas, of the confederate States army in East-Tennessee, has in his command a full company of Cherokee Indians from the Indian settlements of North-Carolina. They make fine soldiers, obey orders promptly, make the best scouts in the world, have committed no depredations upon citizens, are perfectly orderly and docile, and have done much to rid that modern Sodom of its abolition bushwhackers and assassins.--Columbus (Ga.) Sun.

Whipped by women. A correspondent informs us that in Lee County, Va., near the Tennessee line, a tory, who had slandered the widow of a deceased confederate soldier, was tied up by some half-a-dozen indignant women, and received twenty stripes. The women who administered this wholesome admonition were soldiers' wives and widows.--Richmond Despatch.

Rebel Barbarities in East-Tennessee. The editor of the Memphis Bulletin communicated the following to his paper in reference to rebel rule in East-Tennessee. Col. Crawford, the gentleman from whom the facts were obtained, had a personal knowledTennessee. Col. Crawford, the gentleman from whom the facts were obtained, had a personal knowledge of some of the circumstances, and vouched for the truth of all of them: In the month of January, 1863, at Laurel, N. C., near the Tennessee border, all the salt was seized for distribution by confederate commissioners. Salt was selling at sevtheir innocence. Col. Alien, who was with his troops, told them they should have a trial, but they would be taken to Tennessee for that purpose. They bid farewell to their wives, daughters, and sisters, directing them to procure the witnesses and bring them to the court in Tennessee, where they supposed their trial would take place. Alas! how little they dreamed what a fate awaited them! The poor fellows had proceeded but a few miles, when they were turned from the road into a gorge in

Shall New-Orleans belong to those who have our ruin sought? O Northmen! answer, Nay! Louisiana is our own, we bought her with a price; Ours her fields of sugar-cane; ours her swamps of rice! Shall rebels win her from us, friends, by any base device? O Northmen! answer, Nay! A cry goes up to heaven above from Eastern Tennessee, And Knoxville prays our conquering arms to set her people free; Shall we give up her patriot sons to Southern tyranny? O Northmen! answer, Nay! The noble West-Virginians foreswore the Richmond yoke, And braved the Old Dominion's power with sturdy hearts of oak; Shall Letcher and Jeff Davis, friends, their patriot ardor choke?

ities, leaving behind them a belt as broad and as burning as the elliptic. They can run a burning plough-share over the hot-beds of puling fanaticism, from which sprang the Ate turned loose on the South. If our President will but announce and permit such a policy, he will be justified in the eyes of the civilized world, and will evoke a new spirit in the South that has never yet been called into action. Thousands of men are just now thrust out with cruelty and ignominy from Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Maryland, and they are thirsting to go back with fire and sword. Thousands more of our people, who have felt that mere defence of our own land was not the true policy, would be stirred to their inner depths by the trumpetcall of invasion. We believe firmly that myriads at the North are prepared to take refuge in our ranks from the storm of despotism that is darkening around them. If it be necessary, in order to save ourselves from cavalry raids and negro massacres, that

June 4. --The Richmond Despatch relates, that, a few days since, in Lee County, Virginia, near the Tennessee line, a tory who had slandered the widow of a deceased confederate soldier, was tied up by some half-dozen indignant women, and received twenty stripes. As Mr. Macbeth remarked to Mrs. Mac, such women should bear only male children.

memory of the oldest inhabitant have there been more beautiful fields of wheat than bless East-Tennessee to-day. We heard it said when stampeding was going on that there would be no labor in the cou crop. The Register, it was said, by its ultra course was driving the Lincolnites out of East-Tennessee and when the Lincolnites were driven out there was no labor left to plant a crop for this season. The result is, that there has been more wheat planted in East-Tennessee, and, by the blessing of providence, a greater crop, than ever was known. On every plain, on every hill, the grain standsard, as far as we can learn, has not responded to the cries of the soldiers' wives. In East-Tennessee we are more fortunate. We have a large force here in our nitre and mining bureau; good, trustpite of all the croakers, and we venture to say there is labor enough to save the crop in East-Tennessee, great as it is. General Buckner has acted very promptly in view of the emergency, and we h

-day, binding and gleaning in the wheat-fields; but alas! no Boaz is there to console or to comfort. The picture of the rural soldier's home is at this time but a picture of primitive life. Throughout the country, at every farmhouse and cottage, the regular sound of the loom, as the shuttle flies to and fro, with the whirl of the spinning-wheel, is heard, telling of home industry. Cotton fabrics, of neat, pretty figures, the production of home manufactory, are now almost wholly worn in Tennessee, instead of calicoes. But it is a sad thought, that while these exertions of thriving industry are being made for the support of the soldier's family, his little cottage home, of which he nightly dreams, is to be abandoned and left unprotected by the falling back of our troops, and subject to the pillage and plunder of the vandal infidels. Such, at least, I fear will be the case in the counties of Bedford and Coffee, from which we have fallen back.--Charleston Courier, July 24. able

Barbarity of the Yankees. treasury department C. S., Second Auditor's Office, July 28, 1863. gentlemen: I have this day received at my office a series of Yankee returns of our soldiers and citizens, who have been murdered by cold, starvation, and the most cruel and intentional neglect, in the Yankee prisons all over Yankeedom, numbering many thousands. A perusal of these lists is enough, and ought to fire the hearts of every confederate man, woman, and child with the deepest hatred, fury, and the desire of speedy vengeance. Any one desiring to inspect these lists, comprising the bravest and the best soldiers and citizens from all the confederate States, and of the latter especially, from Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee, can do so by calling at my office, at the corner of Ninth and Grace streets, from eight A. M. to four P. M. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. H. S. Taylor, Second Auditor, C. S. --Richmond, Enquirer, August 11.

not yet over. The corn never yet promised a more abundant yield, but the wheat in some districts is slightly touched with the rust, produced by the late rains, and there is some difficulty in being able to save the immense crop in East and Middle Tennessee for want of hands to secure the harvest. The flour-mills in East-Tennessee last year principally supplied our whole South-Western army, and it is to be hoped that dome means will be afforded to farmers to gather their crops before it is tooTennessee last year principally supplied our whole South-Western army, and it is to be hoped that dome means will be afforded to farmers to gather their crops before it is too late to save them. The Board of Commissioners for this State under the impressment law has fixed the price of shelled corn at two dollars per bushel. This is complained of very much by the farmers, who think it is under the average price, corn in Virginia being fixed at four dollars per bushel. The Commissioners, however, promise to raise the schedule of prices according to circumstances. It would be desirable if the Commissioners in each State would agree on a uniform system of prices,
