Monterey Spring.:.—We arc pleased to
learn that this delightful watering place has
been well patronized this season, and that a
large number of boarders are still in atten

rind leaves nothing undone which will con
tribute to the comfort and convenience of
his guests. As a summer resort Monterey
is surpassed by few watering places in the
State; being situated on the top of the South

J. H. TOMKINS,

Watch the Traitors.--From what we can
learn an influence against enlistments, has
been - exerted here to some extent. We say
-watch the home traitors, for it is the duty
of every good citizen (says the Adams Sen
tinel)' who hears persons talkiig against the
the government, or in a way to discourage
enlisting, to make information thereof to the
Prosecuting Attorney of the County, or to
the nearest Justice .of the Peace. . The
great danger which now environs oar
noble institutions will no longer allow tolera
tion to traitors or their abettors. 1 The stern;
eat punishment must be inflicted on' all who
are hostile to our government, and display
that hostility by word or deed. It is better
that the worthlesi necks of all the traitors
in America should,. be 'stretched than that

An instance of Rebel Brute/kip—There
is not in all history. and act of assassination
so atrocious as that perpetrated by the Reb
els last week, on Gen. Robert L. McCook.—
The Southern scoundrels approached •his
ambulance, where he lay sick and faint with
disease, threw him from it to the ground,
and while ho was in a helpless condition, im
ploring for quarter shot him dead ' • In all
ages, and among every civilized people, the
hospital and the ambulance have been 'held
sacred from assault; and it is left for the in
famous followers of Jeff Davis to inaugur
atea savage and brutal system of warfare in
keeping with their dastard conspiracy. But
their acts, sorrowful as it may be tows, will
reap its punishment. Our troops will not
fail to meet out to the Rebels a sanguinary
and terrible vengeance. They have already
evinced their temper in regard to the out
rage, and, wherever the Old Flag leads them,
they ought and will forget
,everything but
their loyal commander who "always lived
like a man, and tried to do his duty."
Drafting will soon begin.. This mea
sure is so just that there should be no hesi
tancy in adopting it. The burden of the
war should not fall upon the willing and the
generous. There are those iu our midst who
have no sympathy with our cause—who ig
nore or oppose the republic, while enjoying
its protection. These men should -do their
part towards swing the Republic. It is to
reach these men thatfimfting is adopted.

The advantage is so decidedly with the loyal

There is only one explanation of it, and
that, lies in the motive and spirit of the con

he former seeks to preserve and estaldlsh ;
the latter to subvert.and exterminate. One

strength, and an officer needs to be worked

with him. When our loyal men 'begin to

enemy excited to desperation, and prepared i
to nse any and every .method of accomplish- '
ing our destruction, let the consequences to
them be what t h ey May, *e shall then adopt
a more effective policy, and give back a little
of the coin we have so freely received.
The fury bf a maniac and the tenderness

the contest thus far. Until we have some
thing of the feeling which nerves the rebel
arm, and are prepare o dismiss the gentle

prevailed, we.shall not make much progress
towards the desirable end. The desperate
