THE LOST CAUSE.
t
We give a few extracts from a Sou rn
book recently published under the ait
ye
title, which are interesting and valuable.
The first attempts to answer the question
WHY THE SOUTH FAILED ?
According to this history, the solution of
this problem is not to be looked for in the
great superiority of the North in numbers
and resources. Such an explanation Mr.
Pollard admits would be agreeable to the
South, but he rejects it as fallacious.
“Most of the wars memorable in history
have terminated with some momentous and
splendid crisis of arms. Generally some
large decisive battle closes the contest; a
grand catastrophe mounts the stage ; a great
scene illuminates the last act of the tragedy.
It was not so with the war of the confede,
rates. It is true that the armies of the
Confederacy had been dreadfully depleted
by desertions; but in the winter of 1864-
65, the belligerent republic had yet more
than a hundred thousand men in arms east
of the Mississippi river. It was generally
supposed in Richmond that if the confede
rate cause was ever lost, it would be only
when this force had been massed, and a
decisive field fixed for a grand, multitudi
nous battle. This idea had run through
the whole period of the war; it was imposL
sible in Richmond to imagine the close of
the contest without an imposing and splen
did catastrophe. In the very commencement
et the war, when. troops were gaily march
ing to the first line of battle in Virginia,
President Davis had made an address in the
camps at Rockett's, declaring that whatever
misfortunes might befall the confederate
arms, they would rally for a final and des
perate contest, to pluck victory at last. He
said to the famous Hampton Legion When
the last line of bayonets is leveled, I will
be with you.'
"how far fell the facts below these dra
matic anticipations ! The contest decisive of
the tenure of Richmond and the fate of the
Confederacy was scarcely more than an
affair,' with reference to the extent of its
casualities, and at other periods of the war
its list of killed and wounded would not
have come up to the dignity of a battle in
the estimation of the newspapers. Gen.
Lee's entire loss in killed and wounded, in
the series of engagements that uncovered
Richmond and put him on his final rereat,
did not exceed two thousand men. The loss
of two thousand men decided the fate of the
Southern Confederacy ! The sequence was
surrender from the Potomac to the Rio
Grande. The whole fabric of confederate
defense tumbled down at a stroke of arms
that did not amount to a battle. There
was no last great convulsion, such as usually
marks the final struggles of a people's de
votion or the expiring hours of their des
peration. The word 6 surrender' traveled
from Virginia to Texas. A four years'
contest terminated with the smallest inci
dent of bloodshed;.it lapsed; it passed by
a rapid and easy transition into a profound
and abject submission.
" There must be some explanation of
this flat conclusion of the war. It is easily
found. Such a condition could only take
place in a thorough demoralization of the
armies and people of the Confederacy;
there must have been a general decay of
public spirit, a general rottenness of public
affairs when a great war thus .terminated,
and a contest was abandoned so short of
positive defeat, and so far from the histori
cal necessity of subjugation.
"There, is but one conclusion that re
mains for the dispassionate student of history.
Whatever may be the partial explanations
of the downfAl of the Southern Confede
racy, and •Withtever may be the various
excuses thafrp'assion and false pride, and
flattery of demagogues, may offer, the great
and melancholy fact remains that the con
federates, with an abler government and
more resolute spirit, might have accom
plished their independence."
EVACUATION OF RICHMOND
"A. small slip of paper, sent up from the
War Department to President Davis, as he
was seated in his pew in St. Paul's Church,
contained the news of the most momentous
event of the war.
" It is a most remarkable circumstance
that the people of Richmond had remained
in profound ignorance of the fighting which
bad been taking place for three days on
Gen. Lee's lines. There was not a rumor
of it in the air. Not a newspaper office in
the city had any inkling of what was going
on. Indeed, for the past few days there
had been visible reassurance in the confede
rate capital; there were rumors that John
son was moving to Lee's lines, and a general
idea that the combined force would take
the offensive against the enemy. But a day
before Grant had commenced his heavy
movement, a curious excitement had taken
place in Richmond. The morning train
had brought from Petersburgh the wonder
ful rumor that General Lee had made a
night attack, in which he had crushed the
enemy along his whole line. John M.
Daniel, the editor of the Richmond Exami
ner, died the same day under the delusion
that such a victory had been won; and
John Mitchel, who wrote his obituary in
the morning papers, expressed the regret
that the great Virginian had passed away
just as a decisive victory was likely to give
the turning point to the success of the
Southern Confederacy ! The circumstance
shows how little prepared the people of
Richmond were on' the bright Sabbath
morning of the 2d of April for the news
that fell upon them like a thunder-clap
from clear skies, and smote the ear of the
community as a knell of death.
"As the day wore on, ()latter and bustle
in the streets denoted the progress of the
evacuation, and convinced those who had
been incredulous of its reality. The dis
order increased each hour. The streets
were thronged with fugitives making their
Way to the railroad depots ; pale women and
little shoeless children struggled in the
crowd; oaths and blasphemous shouts
smote the ear. Wagons were being hastily
loaded at the' departments with boxes,
trunks, etc., and driven to the Danville
depot. In the afternoon a special train
carried from Richmond President Davis
and some of his Cabinet. At the depart
ments all was confusion; there was no sys
tern ; there was no answer to inquiries ;
important officers were invisible, and every
one telt like taking care of himself. Outside
the mass of hurrying fugitives, there were
collected here and there mean-visaged
crowds, generally around the commissary
depots; they had already scented prey;
they were of that brutal and riotous ele
ment that revenges itself on all communi
ties in a time of great public misfortune.
"There had been but little sleep for the
people of Richmond in the night which
preceded their great misfortune. It was
an extraordinary night; disorder, pillage,
shouts, mad revelry of confusion. In the
now dimly-lighted city could be seen black
masses of people, crowded around some ob
j ect of excitement, besieging the commi
sary stores, destroying liquor, intent per
haps upon pillage, and swaying to and fro
in whatever momentary passion possessed
them. The gutters ran with a liquor
freshet, and the fumes filled the air. Some
of the straggling soldiers passing through
the city, easily managed to get hold of
quantities of the liquor. Confusion became
worse confounded ; the sidewalks were en
cumbered with broken glass; stores were
entered at pleasure, and stripped from top
to bottom; yells of drunken men, shouts of
roving pillagers, wild cries of distress filled
the air, and made night hideous.
" But a new horror was to appear upon
the scene and take possession of the com
munity. To the rear-guard of the confede
rate force on the north side of James river,
under Gen. Ewell, had been left the duty
of blowing up the iron-clad vessels in the
James and destroying the bidges across
that river. The Richmond, Virginia, and
an iron ram were blown to the winds; the
little shipping at the wharves was fired ;
and the three bridges that spanned the
river were wrapped in flames, as soon as
the last troops had traversed them. The
work of destruction might well have ended
here. But Gen. Ewell, obeying the letter
of his instructions, had issued orders to
fire the four principal tobacco warehouses
of the city; one of them—the Shockoe
warehouse—situated near the centre of the
city, side by side with the G-allego flow
mills, just in a position and circumstances
from which a conflagration might extend
to the whole business portion of Richmond.
"Meanwhile the fire raged with un
checked fury. The entire business part of
the city was on fire ; stores, warehouses,
manufactories, mills, depots, and bridges—.
all covering acres; the continuous thunder
of exploding shells sounded in the sea of
fire; and in the midst of it was the long
threatening hostile army entering to seize
its prey. All during the forenoon, flame
and smoke and burning brands, and showers
of burning sparks fillea the air, spreading
still further the' destruction, until it had
swept befoie it every bank, every auction
store, every insurance office, nearly every
commission house, and most of the fashion
able stores. The atmosphere was almost
choking; men, women, and children crowd
ed into the square of the Capitol for a
breath of pure air; but it was not to be
obtained even there, and one traversed the
green slopes blinded by cinders and strug
gling for breath. Already piles of furni
ture had been collected here, dragged from
the ruins of burning houses; and in un
couth arrangements, made with broken
tables and bureaus, were huddled women
and children, with no other home, with no
other resting place in heaven's great hollow
ness. It was late ,in the evening when the
fire had burned itself out. It had con,
sumed the most important part of Rich
mond.
As night came on, there was a painful
recaction after the day's terrible excite
ment ; a strange quiet fell upon the black
ened city and its scenes of destruction. It
was the quiet of a great desolation. Grciups
of women and- children crawled under
shelters of broken furniture in the Capitol
square ; hundreds of • homeless persons lay
down to sleep in the shadows of the ruins
of Richmond; and worn out by excitement,
exhausted as by the spasm of a great bat
tle, men watched for the morrow with the
dull sense that the work of years had been
ruined, and all they , possessed on earth had
been swept away."
REPRESENTATION OF PROTESTANT
MISSIONS
pity." I rt):4 :I I Y 00,11
The Rev. W. Arthur, the well-known
Wesleyan minister, made an interesting
statement on this subject at one of the
meetings of the Wesleyan Conference, now
holding its annual sittings at Leeds. He
said : All are, aware that next spring it is
intended by the French Government to
hold in Paris a Universal Exhibition, in
viting the products of all nations, and it is
confidently anticipated that there will be
such an assemblage of fhe nations of Eu
rope and America as has never been, on
the Continent of Europe at least, before.
The Champs de Mars is to be devoted to
this great object, and very extensive con
structions are growing up, and with the
prospect before them the Romish mission
aries applied for leave to exhibit such
things as would illustrate their misgoriary
undertakings throughout the world. It
was at once granted. The French Protes
tants heard of it, and they applied for leave
to exhibit things to illustrate Protestant
ism. With them it was both a point of
honor and an instrument of propagation.
Mr. Hocart is behind me, and he knows
that of the stook arguments of a friar's
Lenten preaching is this—and very 'often
it comes in the peroration—the CathOlic
religion shows its glory by its foreign
missions; the heretics, the Protestants,
have never ventured to send one mission
ary across the seas. (Laughter.) There
are millions of intelligent people on the
Continent of Europe who devoutly believe
it, and that it is one of the Divine evidences
of the Romish Church, that it has missions
scattered all over the world. Therefore,
the Protestants applied for leave to exhibit
and prove to the whole Continent that there
were Protestant missionaries across the
seas who were laboring amongst the heath
ens for the spread of the Gospel. The
Emperor accorded the permission at once.
(Hear, hear.) It is said that upon this
b e ing known the Jesuits at once said,
"Well, if 'the Protestants are allowed to
exhibit, we will not," and it was intimated
'to theth that - they Must. But they insisted
that they would not. The report goes on
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1866.
to say that an intimation went forth from
the highest authority in Paris to the high
est authority in Rome, saying, "They are
to exhibit !" So it was settled that the
two were to go side by side. But then
came the great question, If the French
Protestants were to exhibit for themselves,
they could make only a very small demon
stration ; and whether they would be per
mitted to call the great societies of Europe
and America around them, and ask them
to unite in one common display, whereby
the eye of. the Continent might look at once
on all that was being done throughout the
world by the various Protestant missionary
societies. This also was granted. (Hear,
hear.) Then whether they would be per
mitted to have any one to represent them
upon the Commission ? Yes, if the vari
ous Protestant societies would accept it,
one member should be put on the Imperial
Commission to represent them. Then
whether they would be permitted to exhibit
books—Bibles, tracts, and specimens of lan
guages, and products of anything and
everything showing what they were doing?
Yes, all that. (Hear, hear.) 4tin, a
further question, Whether they would be
permitted to send men to be on the spot to
give discourses explaining the objects and
the operations ? Even that was accorded.
(Hear, hear.) Allow me to read to you
the conditions as they are finally written.
They are these :
" I. That all the Protestant Missionary
Societies in Europe and America join to
gether to make one general exhibition.
The necessary accommodations shall be
granted for that purpose.
" 11. That the various Protestant Mis
sionary Societies accept the' Committee of
the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society
as their representative and delegate. If
this be agreed to, a member of the said
committee shall be admitted among the
Commissioners appointed by the Govern
ment to regulate and, superintend every
thing pertaining to the exhibition.
"111. That the :different societies send
all they deem calculated to give an idea of
the religious, intellectual, and social condi
tion of the nations among whom they labai• :
native implements, weapons, dress and
produce, both in agriculture and industry,
before and since the introduction of Chris
tianity; imitations, on reduced scale) of
their pristine and present dwellings; trans
lations of the Bible, books, tracts ; journals
printed in the different stations; works
published by missionaries, especially on
travels and philology; specimens of writing
of native converts in their respective lan
guages and those of Europe which they
have learned; idols and all !sorts of curiosi
ties, together with specimens which may
throw light on points of natural history."
The Protestants of France at once under
took to raise a building, and expend £l2OO
upon it; and they appealed to the societies
of Europe and America to join them in the
work. The Church Missionary Society
was the first, to respond, subscribing £2OO
toward the building. ' Mr. Forbes, the
clergyman from Paris, came direct to our
Mission Home—our committee was sitting
at the time—and they have resolved to
subscribe £2OO. (Hear, hear.) My im
pression is that if we were to do what we
ought to do, it cannot be done for less than
£5OO.
Some conversation took place as to the
best mode of raising the sum; and it was
generally agreed that it would be better
to apply to a, few wealthy friends of the
Church.
THE SOUL'S. GREATNESS AND VALUE,
"The soul is, in truth, the man, and only
realizes• its freedom when it emerges from
the outer temple in: which it has ministered
.on earth. From, all r consideration of its
nature and, its acts, we gather a conception
of its greatness. Miiitiply ages into ages,
carry century into century, to their highest
cube, and all is but an infinitesimal preface
to its inexhaustible being„ The Pyramids
of Egypt, just opening their stony lips to
speak for God's word; the theatres of lonia;
the colossal remains of Ninevek'experien
•cing a resurrection,from the Iravein whirk
God buried it; the. iron -rail, that strings
the bright villages, like pearls, on its, black
thread;;the paddle-wheel, that disturbs the
stillness of the.remotest seas; the electric
telegraph, that unites minds a thousand
, miles apart ; the tubular bridge, that spans
broad firths and great chasms,—all are wit
nesses to the grandeur and powers of the
soul of man. Its capacity of woe and joy
is as great as its ability to do. Its descent
in ruin was So deep, and its strength to
resist its own recovery so great, that it re
quired nothing less than Omnipotence to
interpose in order to recover, it, Its price
is the blood of the Incarnate One, its. value
must be corresponding.
Tell me, lost spirit, writhing in thy bitter
agony; tell me, glorified soul, ever happy
—ever praising; tell me, angels; but tell
me, thou who only art able—thou bleeding
Lamb, g What shall it profit a man if he
gain the whole world and lose his own,
soul ?"'—erohn Cuartming, D.D.
