Departure of alien enemies.

--We learn with surprise that three hundred residents of this city and vicinity, who have hitherto been regarded as good Southern citizens, have announced and registered themselves as ‘"alien enemies,"’ and requested permission to withdraw to the North; and we bear with amazement and alarm that the authorities have given orders to allow them to depart, with passports blank as to the description of their persons.

For ourselves, we should infinitely prefer to see three hundred of the prisoners in our tobacco factories set free, than to see these newly avowed alien enemies, familiar with every fact that could be of value to the enemy, allowed to depart from our midst. The report, we have alluded to seems incredible. The people themselves ought to arrest and detain these‘"aliens"’ if no more regular means can be adopted of securing their detention.
