Humanity in war — who are its proper objects? The Lincoln Administration began this war upon the South with the declaration that it would listen to no terms but its unconditional surrender. Rebellion and treason were the crimes of which every man in the South had been guilty, and confiscation and the gallows would be the proper punishments. The people of the North went beyond their Government in the ferocity of their spirit. --The declaration was openly made that "Beauty and Booty" ton manner; houses have been burned and slaves captured by the hundred; prisoners have been thrust into dungeons and fed on the coarsest food; sometimes beaten with cruel blows, and placed on trial for their lives, to be hung unless the fears of Lincoln for his own people in our hands prevents the execution of his threats. Even some of their men now in our hands can scarcely suppress the ferocity of their purpose, and declare their eagerness to try conclusions with us again if they could regai

A City to let. --The Lincoln Government is hereby informed by the New York Day-Book that the city is "for rent" cheap: Who wants to rent a city — a regular "big thing?" New York is just now plastered all over with handbills, "To Let." Don't "Dr." Lincoln, of Washington, want to hire a city? It will probably cost him a little more than it did to buy some of our M. C.'s — but the city is "To Let

Schooner burnt. --The Schr. Martha Ann, Capt. Styron, belonging to Capt. D. R. Brooks, of this place, was taken on the 13th instant near Lockwood's Folly, a few miles south of Smithville while becalmed, by one of Lincoln's war vessels and burnt. The Capt. and crew made their escape to the shore in the boat.--Washington (N. C.) Dispatch.

y one. For the last several days the bulletin boards of our city newspapers have been constantly visited by an anxious people, and long ere the Petersburg train arrives the hotels are crowded and the stores of news agents are thronged to their utmost capacity with persons eager and often impatient to learn the news. A relative of mine, just from the lower part of Princess Anne county, informs me of a novel mode of annoyance to persons living on the beach near Washwoods, resorted to by Lincoln's sea devils as a last means of a "match 'em," for their late appalling disaster at Manassas. A. U. S. steamer, supposed to be the "Quaker City," frequently coasts that portion of the beach, and as she passes along shore keeps up a continual firing of shot and shell at the various objects on land, doubtless thinking they may perchance demolish the habitations and destroy the lives of at least a few husbands, wives or children. A fatal affray occurred here on last Tuesday evening, betwe

Dr. Winfieldum Scott. --Before General Scott lost his last feather at Stone Bridge, the degree of Ll. D. was conferred upon him by Harvard University, Mass. The following is the form employed: "Winfieldum Scott, "Summum Imperatorem, Virum scientia rei militaris, virtute, auctoritate, feltcitate insignom, nec minus civilibus clarum laudibus, pacis et humanitatis, studiosissimum, quluniversam rempublicam tuetur, sustentat, unice amat, utriusque Juris, tum Naturse et Goutium, tum Civilis Doctorem, honoris causa, creavimus et renunciavimus, sumque omnibus juribus et honoribus ad hunc gradum pertinentibus donavimus." We leave our readers to make the translation. A pretty pair of Ll. D.'st — Winfieldum Scott and Abraham Lincoln — men who abrogate all laws. They are such doctors as the Irish horse doctor, who presented his bill "for ouring yer honor's horse till he died.

ou, cannot," Then, in despair, he said: "I pray thee, father Davis, that thou wouldst send some angel from the Old Dominion to my father's house, (twenty three free States [?]) where I have over twenty millions of brethren, that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment, and somebody "gets hurt." Davis said unto him, "They have Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and other patriotic prophets, as well as the Constitution; let them hear them." And he replied-- "Nay, father Davis; but perhaps if one were allowed to leave this Metropolitan, purgatory, where we are surrounded by Confederate heroes, and tell them how much we are 'hurt' and tormented, they will repent." And he said unto them, "If they hear not the voice of Washington, and the other faithful prophets, neither will they hear, though Lucifer, or Lincoln himself, were to be sent from purgatory to them." The location of Purgatory, our modern geographer puts upon the map as the city of Washington.
