Rebel Barbaiitim—We devote consider
„nblo space iu to-day's paper to the Report of
the "Committee on the Conduct of the War.”
The beastly outrages committed upon the
wounded and killed of our army, is without
a parallel in civilized, if not in savage wu -
fare. The - proofa of rebel barbarity are un
answerable, and the detail in reality aro
sickening. It will be seen that the wounded
wore literally butchered .to death, the dead,
hacked, boiled and burned, their skulls were
used fur drinking cup, aiul their tones fur
drumsticks and fiver-rings. The perpotra
tom of these inhuman atrocities were not,
says a eorrespon •en , negroes, nor n. inns,
nor Sepoys, nor even -cannibals, -bat, white
men---the reined chivalry of the South.—
Verily, their's is a pretty cause for North
ern men and women to sympathise with.-•,-
By the by, what will the tory-sympathisers
in this place and neighborhood; who have
proseribed-us for our Union .sentiments say
of this report ? True to the instincts of
their depraved natures they will, beyond
doubt, denounce it as a fabrication. That
the evidence of the gallant and patriotic
:•:PRAGVE, of Rhode Island, will be discredi
ted by this class, or by some of them at least,
we entertain not a doubt, for it is more nat
ural for a real live, simon-pure, wool-died
tory to believe a lie than the truth • at
anytime. We would have every m. and
woman read this record of Rebel infamy and
brutality, and mark the wretch who can sym
pathise with such fiends.
From DANIEL SENo u, ono
day last week received a latter from his
brother, in Rockingham county, Va. He
gives a deplorable account of -the outrages
perpetrated upon Union men in that section.
He was compelled to -remain away from his
home for months, to avoid Impressment into
the army, was robbed of his horses, gears,
etc. He states that two of his brothers were
at the - time of his writing in the hands 'of
the Rebels with some seventy persons from
the same neighborhood. Several ministers
bad been released upon paying 1500 and
two per cent. upon their property, to the
, Tory Confederacy. Postal communication
is now open to Harrisonburg and Lacy
Springs, in the same county.-
Dan Hatml.—We are informed upon re
liable authority, that shallow brained tory,
living near Ringgold; and nick-named DAN
EIITZEry has recently been Jiaying some
pretty hard s things about us, and boasting
that he proscribed the Record.. It -is true
that Dan did stop his paper a few weeks
since,•and not satisfied with .hav;ng . dope so,
is indeavoring le induce others to make asses
of themselves., We are of the opinion that
his account Would still stand open but for
the appearance orour Rebel Gallows.
Fire in :the Mountain.—On Wednesday
last a fire broke out in the Mountain, near
Bolling Mill. At last - accounts it

assurances from official courses, and a rigid
'adhesion to a fine of policy which looks only
to the suppression of the rebellion' Will not
outweigh with these traitors in disguise, the
assertions of some over-zealous but irrespon
sible individUal that this is au abolition war.
We need not waste words upon these dishon
est and factious partisans. They have their
mission, doubtless; but events are - marching
in an over them, and it will be a miserable
failure. The people will not be seduced
from the au 1 i I rt of the Government by their
misrepresentations, and the re ellion will
derive no strength or support from their la
bors. The fate of the institution of slavery
is in the hands of ita Own friends, where the
Government and a majority .of the people of
the North will leave it, satisfied that its final
eradication is only a matter of time.
One Year Ago.—The fist serious attempt
of the Secessionists upon the nation, says an
I exchange, was made one year ago, when the
Massachusetts soldiers, going to its defence,
were attacked in Baltimore. The tearing up
of railroads and the burning of bridges fol
lowed,' and for weeks Washington and the
Federal Government were cut off from their
regular communication with the rest of the
0
country. When we look back over that fear
ful period, with its record of treasonable out
rages by the rebels, side by side with dis
plays of patriotic devotion in the loyal States,
,we scarcely know which feeling predominates,
sorrow or pride. A great trial was needed,
to bring out the virtues of the American peo
ple, and the trial began in that memorable
month of April, 1861.
• s we compare our con ition a year ago.
-ith - what — it is - now aril setovern
meat, that was weak and helpless then, is
great and powerful now, and is fast re-estab ;
liahing Sts au g pority over an immense rebel
lious district, wo can almost rejoice at the
necessity that has developed such strength.
It is the groat trial of the principles of re
publicanism. The institutions established
by our revolution are now submitted to the
severest passible test. Happily the people
are upholding them, and these days of April,
1802, are bright and cheerful, even amid all
their stories of battle, as compared with the
dismal days of a year ago, when the stoutest
hearts began to quail before the terrible trea
son that pervaded the Southern States. The
capital of the-nation, beleitgured for nearly a
year, hits now no hostile troops within fifty
miles of it. The armies and the fie - eta of the I
'Union are raising the old flag in all the States
n which it was torn down last April, and
everything leads us to -hope that the rebel
lion is fast approaching its end. There will
be two or three. decisive battles, resulting
victoriously for the Union.• arms, and then
we will reach the conclusion of the terrible
war begun last April: •

I Several of us went up the river, the other

submerged house of a Union family, named

their attachment to the Union. Mrs. Arm•

positively, says the Philadelphia Bulletin, in
letters from Washington, that the.Seeretary

forts captured on our Southern coast. The

supply of arms and Uniforms. The Zany°

jackets and baggy red trousers.
We have no idea that these Weeks would
ever make good soldiers in the field. But
for garrison duty. with a proper proportion
of well-traind white Clit eel's, they may be
very serviceable. They are peculiarly well
fitted fur summer service at those localities.
in the South where the health of unaecli
mated whites is likely to suffer. Doubtless,
with the taste for finery that characterizes
the Africans, they will be very proud of
their uniforms, and the pleasure of wearing
them will excite their ambition to make good
soldiers. The determination of the Secretary
of War to 'employ the contrabands in this
way will meet . uifit geueral approva

Parson and a highly_ educated young man,
gives a heart rending account of Rebel atroc
ities committed since his father's departure.
His descriptions of outrages committed on
the Union citizens of Fait Tennessee is liar- -
rowing to the feelings, and must awaken the
sympathies of every' patriot.
The Southern project of punishing the
world by destroying most of their old cotton
crop, and planting the seed of little more at
present, is another evidence of rebel folly.—
If they send no cotton to market for 2 sue
eessive years, time will be given to rival ra
gione to develop all- their resources, to finish
their railroads, and to firmly establish new
plantations. If this is done, the Southern
monopoly will be ended forever. They seem
determined to "kill the goose that laid the
golden egg."
