of the Jewish people occur numerous examples and warnings of the dangers of false clemency. One of the most striking of these is the invasion of Israel by Benhadad, King of Syria. This Benhadad seems to have been as arrogant and boastful as a Yankee, and far superior in military power to the invaded country.--Indeed, his immense force rendered the idea of opposition ridiculous. The message he sent to the King of Israel, when he came before Samaria, was as audacious as the manifestoes of Lincoln and his Generals: "Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives, also, and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine. " The Israelite King, at first appalled by the odds against him, returned an answer which only had the effect of increasing the truculence of Benhadad, who replied that he would reduce Samaria to dust, which would then not suffice to give handfuls to all the men of his numerous host. Roused to the exigency by such a message, the King of Israel sent back this royal answer, no

eir hoofs — for they have hoofs instead of human feet.--The most prominent figure in this group, which has some likeness to President Davis, leans upon a sword of gigantic proportions, and seems to be addressing his companions seated around. The scene is lighted by a single torch, and in the distance is dimly seen the word "Richmond." This picture, the wondering reader is informed, represents "the traitors in council;--while above all is the quotation, "Retribution will be surely given"A. Lincoln." It is this sort of stuff that the Northern mind is fed upon, and stimulated to the exercise of the worst passions. The Weekly say that its purpose, in presenting such abominations to its readers, is to strengthen the public heart "with a whole some detestation of the infamy of this rebellion and the means to which it naturally resorts." The Yankees are fruitful in expedients, and always have a lie ready to serve their purposes; and in the engraving before us we have a full illustration

It will be seen that the Yankees keep very quiet about the loss of the nine guns which were captured. They claim to have handsomely repulsed us; but the contrary must have gotten out at the North, as we find the following soothing telegram from Lincoln: "Washington, Sunday, October 9 5:20 P. M. "General at Simon Cameron, Philadelphia: "There is absolutely no news here from the Army of the Potomac not published in Stanton's bulletin of yesterday and before. The line is open, and mere business dispatches are passing over it. Have no alarm on bogus dispatches. A. Lincoln." Here is Stanton's official dispatch:from Secretary Stanton to General Dix. War Department, Washington, October 8, 1864--12M. Major-General John A. Dix: This department has received the following reports of the enemy's assault yesterday upon General Butler's line, their subsequent repulse, and general Birney's brilliant action, driving the enemy to their inner line of entrenchments around Ric

s: Political Riots in Missouri. The St. Louis Republican, in noticing the political outrages committed throughout the State of Missouri, says: "If Mr. Lincoln or his friends have really the slightest regard for the freedom of elections, it is about time they should show it in Missouri. So far, at this early stage of broke up. Probably these instances comprise but a portion of the outrages committed by men who, while committing them, profess to be acting in the interests of Mr. Lincoln. "It was predicted by some, before the canvass opened, that terrorism would be used to prevent the opponents of Mr. Lincoln from conducting an active canvMr. Lincoln from conducting an active canvass and from voting in Missouri. We are sorry to say that, from the indications so far, these predictions are likely to be realized." M'Clellan Squibs. In a speech at Portland, Maine, recently, the Hon. John A.

man just from Kentucky furnishes some account of the state of things there: "There are at present about twelve thousand troops in Kentucky. Confederate raiders are swarming in almost every county in Kentucky, and are becoming bolder every day. A Federal soldier cannot go twenty miles from these places without running the risk of falling in the hands of our troops. "Kentucky is being scoured in every direction by negro troops hunting up the few negro men who have not seen proper to volunteer. In many cases, they are shot down on refusing to enlist. The negro troops, however, take good care not to extend their visits to counties where Confederates are known to be. In fact, from all I could see, there exists a per feet reign of terror throughout the State. Both the property and lives of the citizens are very insecure. "The people in Kentucky are in favor of McClellan, but it is thought that Lincoln will stop those who are opposed to him from voting by the bayonet."

Invasion of the North. The London Index, a Confederate paper, published in London, predicts that "when peace at last shall come, it will be no longer a peace between equals, but a peace extorted at the point of the sword in smouldering Northern cities." In the name of the Prophet,--figs! If peace depends upon the successful invasion of either country by the other, it will never come in this day and generation. If the war has proved anything, it has proved that a defensive policy is the true policy of the South. We can stand on our own soil and preserve our independence a thousand years. The dominant party in the United States would like nothing better than an invasion of the North. It would unite all parties in that nation and fill Lincoln's armies to repletion. We prefer to act upon Bishop Doane's maxim in religious matters--"Stand like an anvil," and test the question of endurance with the Yankee hammers.

only partial exchanges have thus far been made, there is reason to believe a full exchange will soon be effected. Lincoln in favor of running goods into the Confederacy to Pay for cotton. They are having a lively time in the Yankee Congree Confederacy and goods sent back in return. Dana had issued an order stopping it, and he got the following letter from Lincoln, which has been brought to light in the Congressional debate: Executive Mansion. Washington, January 6, 1865. Maj be proper for you to report to the Government fully upon it, and that would be the only proper course. Yours, &c., A. Lincoln. A Washington letter-writer, speaking of this, says: This letter shows the feeling of the President agys that Major-General Butler, in pursuance of orders, will have for his home, in Lowell, with the kindest feelings for Mr. Lincoln and his Administration, and that he will them await any call the Executive may make. Major-General Averill is in

accordingly. It was worth all the seeming humiliation of going on such a mission, and being cooped up in a steamboat at Fortress Monroe, to hear from the lips of Lincoln and Seward the final assurances of United States policy. These assurances, accompanied by the legislation of the Federal Congress, have presented a plain and disoy. We fear and detest their arts more than their arms. Whatever betide us in the future, we shall be no parties to our own humiliation. The second term of Lincoln begins with no such overwhelming odds as those of his first. We had then but a raw militia, unprovided with suitable arms, with twenty thousand pounds of powder he field material similar to that which has become the main reliance of the Federal Government. If our public spirit has, in some measure, declined, the reply of Lincoln to our Peace Commissioners will kindle again in a broad and irresistible flame the fervid and self-sacrificing patriotism of 1861. The absentees from our army wi

olical benediction.) "Remember me to my old friends in the South." Let the "old friends" call upon Mr. Hunter and received the affectionate souvenir. Mr. Seward could hardly suppose that his friends here would ever forget him.--There are monuments to his genius in a hundred thousand mounds scattered everywhere over the surface of this broad land. The flames of burning houses and cities are nightly illuminating the skies in his honor. Every breeze is laden with plaintive music, called forth by his master hand. The sheeted dead start from their bloody shrouds and wander through their old loved homes, whispering the name of Seward. Not even Lincoln has such claims upon Confederate admiration. He has neither the heart nor the face of Seward. Born upon Southern soil, he cannot altogether eradicate all impulses of humanity from his sound and all traces of honesty from his visage. Mr. Hunter has our sympathies. We would rather be cursed by any other man than blessed by Seward.
