ADVICE TO THE WOMEN OrSpFHE SOUTH. 'Metter from a United States Oftlet* tole Southern Sititer,;:, The following letter was written last sum-. mor by a distinguished officer of the United States army to a sister residing in and sym pathi7'ng with the South. The writer, although from a Southern State,'was always true to the,. Government, took a prominent part in many important battles, and was several: times.. wounded. His_ - admirable letter shows, that lie can write as well as fight, and we should like to have' all the Southern women who still abuse " the Yan kees" to read and profit by, it. Rionmorm, VA. ' June • 14th, 1865.—My Dear ---: I ;have just read a letter of yours to --, and was very glad to see , no long -a one from you, though sorry on' many accounts to see some, of the ex pressions and opinions in it. So sorry, in deed, that I have sat right down to try and wr it e yen along' letter, leaving others of long standing unanswered., , , • The condition of affairs, as yon describe it, gives, and has giVen, me a good deal of con cern, and though at this time, it is hardly worth while to enter into a discussion as 'to who brought this'state of affairs about, it• is of the greatest importance' to consider how we can Make the, best of a bad bargain. I suppose I need not say thaCtio' good will re sult ir those most interested 'on this monien lousquestion insists upon refusing to look an established fact in the face; and not only decline to 'put their own shoulders to the wheel, but prefer - to aid, in. keeping up the - intensehitterness engendered by four years of horrible war, in which brothers have been trying to cut each other's throats. 'Did you ever hear of the senseless conduct of a man who by his careless walking barked his shin en an inoffensive stone, turning in to curse and kick the stone until he broke his toes? And yet it strikes me that to call such names as " Yankees " and "nasty dogs" is very much akin to the act of the man with the .barked shin, to say nothing of the fact that such terms sound very harshly in the mouth of a young lady of common sense, such as I know you to be, more especially when a brother she used to love is one of the class to which these epithets are applied. To curse the stone which hurt you is not a very sen sible way of acting, and can only result in hurting yourself worse. The soldiers are not responsible for the ills which you suffer, having merely responded, like good citi zens, to the requisition of a government whose laws they are bound to respect, and you might just as well complain of the stone for obeying the laws of gravity and remaining in its place. I know, my dear sister, that your letter was not intended' for my eye, although you mention my name in it by wondering what I would think did I. know that 'my father was insulted by an ill-mannered fellow, driving a load of poor miserable, wretched negroes. I will try to tell you exactly what I think, which is, that the miserable set of ambitious and unprincipled politicians who persuaded and forced the people of the South to engage in civil, war, unloose the bonds.of civil society and render my father or any other quiet and respectable citizen, liable to be insulted by every rowdy who has intellect enough to know that war enables him to do it with impunity, should be looked upon with contempt and hate, (if that under any circumstances is allowable) by every decent man and woman• in the country. ' If yon will turn your curses upon them you will be acting more rationally than by complaining of the stone which has hart you; and I think will be hitting the nail on the, head exactly. I am sorry to hear that the returning sol diers hate the "Yankees" as much as ever, and if you will take the advice of one who had some influence with you in former and happier days, you will look upon all who make a display of such feelings with suspicion and distrust, for my experience goes to show that they are stragglers and cowards, who never have placed them selves in positions of danger to defend the opinion which, now that the war is over, they parade so conspicuously. Brave men who have fought hard in defence of what they were persuaded into believing were their rights, (and there are many, many thousands of them who have done so, as I know to my cost) never talk or act so. I met at Appomattox Courthouse many of the brave men whom I had met many times in battle during the past four years, and I have yet to hear of one of them who expressed such sentiments. On the contrary they re spected the brave men who had fought against them, and aelrnowredged that hav ing appealed to arms and been beaten, they were ready to acquiescegracefully in the de cision of the arbitrament to which they had appealed. Thousands of them are now taking the oath of allegiance to the government , which they have been trying for four lOng, horrible years to overthrow, and on the spirit in which that oath is kept will depend the future happiness or misery of this once prosperous and happy country. In the meantime, opposition may be practically kept up, and a return to civil rights and privileges indefinitely postponed to the intense misery of the whole country, bat especially. to the Southern portion of it. In arriving at the result, the women of the South will have a very important and re sponsible part to play, for women always have a great influence in society, and if they are bitter and vindictive the ;men will be so also. Men reason, but women do not, but act almost entirely in accordance with their feelings, and therefore, cannot be logical. It becomes all good men and particularly all good women, to do all they can to heal the wounds of a distracted and bleeding country, and as women make the best nurses, this is an additional reason why they can be of most service in healing her wounds. I believed at the commencement of this war, and believe still, that an original abo litionist was either a lunatic or a scoundrel, but I am not an abolitionist now only 'be cause there is no slavery to be abolished. The war has done that, and when we reflect that the secessionists, who were as crazy or as unprincipled as the abolitionists, brought on the war, there is no diffipulty in deciding who is responsible for the con dition of the poor, miserable negroes in the country. I used to try with all my might to prevent my soldiers from stealing the pigs, chickens, ducks, &c., met with on the marches, but the people who brought on the war failed to reflect that a , state of war lets looAe all the bad passions and princi ples kept under by well organized civil society, such as we had, and that these and other similar acts are an absolute conse quence of war. Property offal kinds is dai , stroyed, and you might just as well expect me to restore the chickens, &c, eaten by my soldiers, to the original owners, as to expect your negro property to be restored. Try and look this fact in the face, and act in good faith to try to reorganize society on a basis which is inevitable, and reflect, that by unreasonable opposition yon may bring about a state'of affairs worse even than the present one.' If the soldiers whom you abuse so roundly` - were withdrawn from your protection yon twould be left int state of anarchy and coil '= fusion which I= dread• to •think • of *hen I reflect that my mother and sisters would • subjected to all its horrors. Advise yonr ; brothers and friends to' reflect upon these' : things, and instead' of standing' aloof to let' others do all the work, to come forward and did'in good faith to'relorganize society, and restore thatliberty which' dame so near being destroyed for all of us. 'Act with true religion.and instead ofstay iug away trona ehUrch fOr:fear of meeting the uniforms Of a once glorious government; , pay all the harder ,that:; that government' ftay be once more restored in all - its integi- ry, for it is the only salvation we have now t look , to: , , . , - I do not expect, iny dear—to convince you.. by my argument. Time and reflection and .sacrexperience are the only things which vrlldo that, but I write as a brother who, al through the last four horrible years— fi ed, as they have been, with blood and death andmental and bodily. agony, has never forgotten he hiis brothers and sisters, or changed one particle in his brotherly feeling for them, in spite of having several times had it forced upon him that they had in some particulars cnanged. Years hence, when you and I are in our graves and perhaps forgotten, posterity will look with wonder, upon a happy and pros-. perous people going to work to murder each other for such a foolish .reason; and I hope' that it will be equally struck with the good sense with wbich that tfiarne people, torn and distracted with civil war, went to work to restore tbeir original liberties. If they dq not have, such a spectacle to look upon, it will be in a great 'measure the fault of the women of the country, whose intense bitter ness will drive the men to Commit acts which cannot, under any circumstances, be justified, and which can terminate only in grief and trouble to all concerned. I hope you .will *kite to me, which you have not heretefore done, and spell "rebel" with one b, or rather do not spell it at all, for I have seen so many of them, and under such disagreeable circumstances, (and felt them too,) that I am desirous of forgetting there was ever such an animal in the country. . With love to all at home, I sin Your affectionate Brother. Greeley. on Garrison. [From the New York Tribune.] Mr. William Lloyd Garrison announces that The 'Liberator newspaper, edited by him for thirty-five years, will no longer be published. It is a singular and encouraging fact that this journal% never pecuniarily prosperous, though generally self-sustain ing, has maintained its existence for so long a period, during which it has upheld un popular opinions with a persistency and a consistency at once rare and admirable. For it'must be remembered that, during this long and agitated period, really one of the stormiest in the political history of the world, the tendencies of the country have been far from noble, and its methods too often anything but valiant—that oar public policy has been based upon compromise, and an acquiescence in what we absurdly called "the least of two evils"—that nine-tenths of our people have really believed that Slavery must be left to some undefined, fortuitous disposition, and that, either by good luck or good management, in this way or in that way, we might acquiesce in it, and still escape its stern and sanguinary consequences. Mr. Garrison's principal business for more than 35 years has been to declare, totis viribus, in the face of an incredulous world, that two and two make four, and not five. Accord ing to the popular arithmetic, the said sum total might be fire on Monday, seven on Wednesday, and three on Saturday. "No," said Mr. Garrison, "four is the correct Sgure;" and behold! four it tarns out to be. The arithemetic was right—it was Church and Congress,and Convention and Convoca tion, that were wrong. It seems easy enough to our purged vision now—that sturdy adherence to a palpable almost a platitu dinous truth. But if Mr. Garrison will only write his own biography, and we hope he will, we shall find out what a willful world this is, and bow passionately or stolidly tenacious it is of its favorite and convenient errors. It is, perhaps, too early to decide how much we owe to what has been rather un fairly termed Mr. Garrison's obstinacy—his rigid adherence to a rather narrow path. People have pettishly called him a man of one idea, and, so far as his life has had one dominating fi nd inexorable purpose, he has been not unlike in this to all who have left their mark in history. But those who sup pose that Mr. Garrison could not have won brilliant success in many different fields of exertion do, not know the man. So far as astuteness is concerned, he has the making in him of a whole regiment of ordinary politicians; as a theologian, he might have been the admired prop of a divinity school; in poetry, and in letters generally, he could have had fame for the asking; and he has a simple practicality of character—the very stuff out of which Railway Presidents are made. !•lf he bad been constructed without a conscience, it is impossible to compute the mischief he might have done. No difference,of opinion as to the methods sometimes pursued by Mr. Garrison can blind us to the beauty and value of the ex ample which he has given to his country men of the sustaining force of a personal as opposed to a public conscience. In a sen suous age, he has Made it possible for us to believe that the martyrologies are not all myths-that the breed of Husses and Wyaliffes and Latimers is not extinct. "Fanatic" has been his title of honor. Ask the man who hates him the most bitterly if he thinks that Mr. Garrison would have died for his opinion, and the answer will be swift and definite—"Of coarse he would!" How many of his critics and as sailants would die for their opinions? Or rather, how many of them have any opinions to - die for? We lead such aimless and un lovely lives, so void of earnestness and daily beauty; we are so pliant in the storm and so comfortable in the calm; we shift so from this purpose to the other, as: interest dictates, that an inflexible ad herence to any idea seems to us mere lunacy and a waste, amid our constant thriftiness and material accumulation, of human strength and capacity. But now and then comes a man like Mr. Garrison to show us our mistake; to demonstrate the value of patient-waiting; tO prove what virtue there is in fidelity to a single labor; to defy passion and error and misunder standing and hatred,- and to accomplish some great work vital to the progress of man and yet in his sight impossible. It is encouraging to us to find that Mr. Garrison believes the special life-task which he early assigned to himself as good its accomplished. There may and 'must be iiither and new forms of wrong; but Mr. Garrison believes this - specific sin of Slavery to exist no longer.: He retires from the old field a victor; but every year of national existence, every fresh development of onr political principles, every accession to the country's resources, will add to his laurels and make surer of his fame.
