Rebel Afrbarilies.—Wlie n• the war is over
the historian will have a tl)arful catalogue of
rebel barbarities which none wal°be more
cnxious to forget- than the Southern people
themselves, or at least 'those of them whose
feelings arc not entirely blunted and brutal
ized. Already the list of heads under Which
these barbarities will be grouped is fearful:
tomahawking and scalping the wounded by
Indian allies; poisoning wells; asFrassinating
nt
li
"sentrie.s; sho • n• k , prisoners; . carrying away
the boucs of Cm ad for mementoes—mak
ing.them into pipe ,'rings.and cups; neglect
ing to bury the Federal dead on fields of
battle which remain in possession of the
re e s iton• di-
.deTs; waat )It (lest. :tion of pr:vAte property
and of public improvements; hanging and
shooting their own fellow-eitizens who are
true to the Union. Such are a few of the
general hoads under which this chapter of
the war will be written, and the imp
historian willrightly trace these, and all th
er enormities of the rebellion to the brutal
izing influence of the institution of slavery.

It appears that it was the session wom

have Jackson's forces again among them,

of the prisoners says that
. "when the day was

They will have paid dearly for their' con

a pack of whipped hounds, pursue 4 by their
victors for many 'miles, throwing away, in
their haste their n - a '

Jackson lost at least one-sixth of his fercc,

“Te secession women here will receive

comment upon.it.-
The Liverpool Post says there can be no
doubt but it Will have au inealculable'effeet
in Europe, and that effect will be must favor
able to the Northern eanse.
The London Timos,.in an editorial on the
subject, says: "It the most important news
since the split. The President's object
is to recover tothe Union the Border States.
The propbsition is important, not for its in
trinsic likelihood of acceptance, but simply
because it is a proposition, and is the first bid
made towards puting an end to the war. We
may hope that others may follow, and that
Vie North may gradually rise in its offers un
til something acceptable has been put forth.

13.11tN.—We. believe:it is generally conceded
that Mrs. Lincoln is given to having things
after her own liking. The following anec
dote, illustrative of that point, is told by a
citizen of Springfield, Illinois, and we arc as
sured it •is an "unvarnished tale." Same
years before "Honest Abe"—as have
have been want to call him—and his wife
had the ret"test idea of residing at the
White house, they lived in a low au unpre
tending dwelling in Springfield. 'The barn,
which was contiguous to the house, was used
for stabling - a -- cow during the winter season.-
Mrs. L. was neither satisfied with the house
nor_the close proximity of the cow stable,
and while her husband was oat of town at
tending court, (to be absent from home some
s'x weeks,) emtracted, with a carpenter to
build a new barn and add another story to
the dwelling. The work was immediately
commenced and completed befoie Mr. Lin
