VOL. 9.-NO. 1.
There is work to do of more importance ;
and We do not know that the ends of jus
tice will be frustrated by keeping the rebel
chief in the stony embrace of Fort Monroe
a few weeks longer. President JOHNSON
has certainly given no indication of a
change of sentiment on the atrocity
of Treason. He branded it as " - a crime,"
in memorable English, in his. inaugural
speeches after Mr. LINCOLN'S assassination.
Not so, however, with many of the party
leaders ; with some even of those who were
the earliest and the most savage for the
bloody punishmertt Of traitors, The Now
York Tribune- is not only for pardoning
JEFFERSON DAVIS, but for forgiving all the
leaders and actors in. the Rebellion.. The
Tribtme proposes to exchange universal
amnesty to the traitors for universal suf
frage to , the colored people. The same
opinion is held by GERIiPP SMITII, and, of
course, by WENDELL PHILLIPS and his fol
lowing. And in the New York Independeni
of July 20, HENRY WARD BEECIIER ex
plains himself thus :
I do not know of any Oriole that is greater
than the crime of treason against such 5. Go
vernment as ours ; and I hold that every man
that has been a principal actor, a voluntary,
managing head of any sort, in the late . rebel
lion, and has continued to be such to the last,
not only is guilty of treason, but has earned
Most abundantly' the extreme penalties of the
laW. And of all Southern nien, Ido not .know
of any that I think worse 'sl' than Jeff Davis.
Of course I am liable to be blinded; .and
if I had found that all the South loved
him, and the North hated him, I should
have said that we were controlled by the
influence of our class ; but I found that he was
disliked by the Southern people even inure
than by the Northern people. I did not find a
man that did him reverence; but I found a great
many men that denounced him. They went
further than I 'could o in discrediting his
ability ; for I think he has shown much
ability, lint it seems to me that he line been
the worst man, the most deliberately bad
man,that the South has produced. He has
been a man of fanaticism, and of that kind of
fanaticism which largely involves the malig
nant element. I believe there was no in
justice, no cruelty, and no scope of - cruelty,
and no persistence in it, which he was not
capable of, if it was the only way to carry his
end. He was one of those men that coolly
violate every principle of morality for the
sake of succeeding in their purposes. And
regard him as the master criminal.
" Now, when lie, with all the other chief
rebels are arrested and tried, if it can he
'shown that he has been connected, by delibe
rate knowledge, even, with the :Ammons con
spiracy which this day celebrates, I know of
no reason why
. he should not give his life from
the gallows, just as every other murderer
does. lf,whiin the facts in the case are brought
to light, it is determined that lie has had It
hand in this nefarious plot, I shall not have a
word to say, and there will not be a word to
be said at home or abroad (I.l7airiSi his excen-
MD. Bra, if he is convicted 'only Of having
headed this rebellion in other welds, if his
offence is a political offence, I believe that lie
should be tried for his life, that lie should be
condemned to death, and that then his sen
tence should be commuted to disfranchise
ment and banishment for the rest of his days.
People have asked me, Where yenta you
banish him toll I would let him choose the
place to which he should go ; but I would in
sist that he should not stay here. It is said,
Has he not deserved death V Yes, a hundred
• fold. lint neither in human or in divine law
do we think it expedient to give a man all the
punishment he deserves.
" Look, for instance, at the grounds on which
we arc to stand as a nation. It has come to be
a familiar saying, We are fighting the battle
of all nations; and my own mind has rusted
very much upon the effect of our conflict upon
the democratic elements and. prospects of Eu
rope. And this is a question that is to he set
tled on two grounds. First, what is to be the
effect of the mode of our dealing with these
head culprits upon the COllllll - artity at home?
and, secondly, what is to be the effect of the
mode of our dealing with them upon the world
abroad 3
" ow, as to its effect upon the community
at - home. Ido not think that the gallows will
add one single particle of emphasis to the
enormity of this great crime. &Len say that
IhstiCe reddireS this, that, and the other thing.
1 say that justice requires farthing which
not for the good of the community. All that
punishmtnt is for is either, first, to reform the -
culprit, or, second, to deter the. rest of the
community from ever becoming culprits.
Well, hanging never reforms anybody! As
to detering anon from hereafter hecominbe coming traitors, by the hanging of Mr. Davis and, his
compeers, I hold that the war itself, by its re
sults and outcome, is the most terrific warn-
Jag that could possibly be set up. And to a. - &
tempt, by erecting against this lurid back
ground the petty figure of a gallows with a
man dangling at it, to heighten the effect,
would be like lighting tapers, when God's
hghtnings are flashing across the heavens; to
add to the grandeur of the storm.
"The idea of emphasizing, the warning
against treason by the execution ,of Qne or two
inch,"' - "Hell" Stitte' - are ITatircwipren - ,
by it, when the youth of fifteen States have
been cut off, when every other family in those
States are broken up, when communities are
utterly disorganized, when wide deserts lie
waste, where prosperity was wont to teem, and
when the world looks upon the spectacle of un
mitigated suffering, of power broken, of
money squandered, and of towns and villages
sacked and desolate—such an idea is prepos
terous. The voice of God in history is more
solemn than any voice that you can add to it
by any human administration of justice.
"So far, then,_ as these men are concerned,
we should not hang them for the sake of their
reformation. And if we wish to produce a
moral impression on the community, that is
already produced to a degree that no hanging
can equal, or parallel, or augiAent in the slight.
est degree.
" Then, there is another consideration. The
public sentiment of Europe is against political
executions. England holds her soil sacred
from the intrusion of the pursuer of political
'offenders. Fram-i will not give them up. Lit
tle single-handed Switzerland hides them in
her fastnesses, and refuses to hand them over.
For in Europe political offenders have for the
most part been men that have sought to ame
liorate the condition of the masses ,• and the
common people have come to feel that
executions mean the infliction; by a despo
tic Goyernm ent, of punishment upon men that
have attempted to mamvurate greater free
dom. And the public sentiment of Europe is
ill favor of men that are made sufferers for
political criracii.”
Such reasoning is music to the recent rebels
and to the Democratic politicians, whose
sweet v ces mingle with the anti-Slavery
leaders, and make up a sort of public
opinion. Note, further, that they - steadily
oppose the military trial of the humane
Darts. What effect such invocations will
have upon a civil jury may easily be antici
pated. That there is'an earnest demand
for making a marked and summary example
of the chief traltoroind for ntaking treason
to the American Union infamous through
all time, is beyond dispute. How craftily
and industriously it - is sought to disappoint
and baffle this demand, we have sufficient
ly shown. President Jonissox's words
stand unrecanted. That is enough T forthose .
who arc uneasy as to .hint. 'Would not
be odd to hold him accountable for senti
ments which have the singular merit of not
having been spoken by - . 'himself,- and of
being direcitly opposite to what he has
spoken 2
LETTER FIROIIII-".OCCASIONAL.99
WASHINGTON, Jllly. 31, 1365
At the close of the Mexican War
. aud
the Administration of James K, Polkof
whose Cabinet be was a distinguished
member—Robert J. Walker, of Mississippi,
paid a visit to Europe. Ile - was received
with open arras by the English aristocracy,
and especially by the great free-trade lead
ers. Ills prominence in hupporting the
tariff of 18-46, as Secretary of the Treasury,
had secured him a warm, strong place in
the affections of the manuacturing barons—
whether those who bought our raw cotton
and returned it upon us woven for our mar
kets, or those who enjoyed and pros
pered upon their splendid monopoly
in other fabrics. Thirteen years after
wards the same Robert J. Walker
rald another visit to Europe., But this
time he did not go to propitiate the ariStee
racy ; nor was he their honored and wel
comed guest. Ile appeared in London as
the apostle - of the American Union, the
representtd ive of the American Government,
the enemy of Repudiation, Slavery, and
Rebellion. The gentry who had feted and
complimented him in 1851 were astounded
at his new mission ; and a deputation was
sent to him, complacently to ask an
explanation. I wish his reply could
have been written and preserved. He
told them that he was not in London as
the advocate of a section, but as the cham
pion of a great people; and he expressly
admonished them that the manufacturers
of Great Britain, who might have looked
forward to the day of that reciprocal free
trade of which he had long been the
defender, had forever forfeited that hope
by their offensive complicity with the
rebellion, And he went further. He inti
mated that the time might eame when
in The hour of the assured triumph and
'Miss:ince of the American Republic, an
carport duty would be laid upon time very cot,
ton then and now so essential to their pros-
PeTillt• And when they Were desirous
to know how this Could be clone without
violating our Constitittion,-he gave them
an answer which showed that he was not
ready to disclose the designs of Govern
ment, nor his own well-considered opinions
on that vital question. The one great thing
that the rebellion lin done for the Amen
can people, after killing and burying slave
ry, State rights, and treason, is to show to
the world that, haying' defended them
selves in war, they are more than equal to
the task of providing for themselves in peace.
The perfidy of Great Britain has assisted to
develop this attribute, and the conscious:
ness of it was signally and significantly de
monstrated lit the late Detroit Commercial
Convention, when the great principle of
protection to American industry and man
ufactures was proclaimed amidst enthusias
tic acclamations. Gov. Walker's prophecy
to the British sympathizers is being ful
filled. An evidence of the present feelincr
in England may be found in the Liverpool
Afercury of the 12th of July. Take the fol
lowing remarkable passage : -
"There is no town or port In the United
Kingdom that has gained so mach as Liver
pool from the adoption placeh free-trade prin
ciples, and there Is no in the kingdom.
that has so great an interest as IL4iverpool in
the extension of those principles to, all the
countries of the world. So far as England is
concerned, the Liberal party, %eluding the
adherents of the late Sir Robert Peel, has so
completely established the ascendency of those
principles us to leave little, if anything, to be
done by succeedic g Ministers and Parliaments.
But this is not the case with foreign nations,
few of which have adopted those prhieiplea
even to a moderate extent, and none of them
completely. So long as this continues to be
the case the benefits of that admirable system
of commercial policy will be onlypartially en
joyed even : in this country; for, although we
have wisely opened our ports as wide as possi
ble to the products of the whole world, it will
Still require many years of negotiation on the
part of the British Government to open the
ports of the whole world as widely to our
manufactures. Indeed, some of the greatest
commercial nations, both of Europe and Ame
ricaystill cling closely to. the worst delusions
of the protective system. 2his is especially the
case in the United States of America, in Which
country the protective system is at present so COM
vtetety established as to threaten the most serious
wdury to the greet trade between England and
America, Which has /sag v's., , siod the principa/
element in ,the commercial greatness of the port of
Littnrool. it is of the utmost consequence to the
future progress of Liverpool that every effort
should be merle by our men Government to urge
on foreign countries, and especially on the Veiled
Stoles, on entire change in their present restrictive
aud exclusive policy, end the adoption, at the
earliest possible period, of the free and en2ight
cued cOmmerdol poineipics which hate proved of
so much advantage in this country. 77
Already have the bloody instructions re
turned to plague the inventors. This paper,
The Mercury, was one of the most offensive
Secession organs in England all through
the rebellion. The Liverpool merchants,
of whom it is the mouth-piece, labored.
bitterly and persistently to destroy us as a
nation. They gave their money by thou-.
sands. They helped to build, equip, arn4
hide, and send forth rebel corsairs that
preyed upon peaceful American Comineree.
The present Mayor of Liverpool is a leading
blockade-runner. The same class elected
Laird, the builder of the Alabama, to Parlia
ment from Birkenhead. The building of that
robber of the seas was made an issue in his
canvass,ancl he won (in making it) by a thou 7
sand majority. Liverpool herself elected two'
of the most envenomed tories at the same
time to the House of Commons. And now
the United States vac-coolly called upon to
repeal our tariff laws, find to establish free
trade for their advantage, by these foes of
Freedom, Civilization, and Humanity !

the object of the Council is to restore the
friendly relations heretofOre existing between
the Indians and the United States, and to se

The Postal Service,
Previous to March, lBtZ, all letters were re
quired to be prepaid, and the people had be-
COlne so accuStomed to the law that not
More than fifty thousand unpaid letters
were annually returned to the Dead• Letter
office. But at that date Congress passed a law
permitting all unpaid letters to pass through
the mails, the receivers of them paying double
rates. This arrandement resulted disastrously
to the postal revenues; and ao, at the late
Congress, the law absolutely requiring pre
payment was restored. - The people generally
are not, hOwever, aware of this fact, for the
number of gunpaid letters returned to the
Stead-Letter office now average from twelve
thousand to fifteen thousand a day.

the 230 the stop-valves gave out, and,heing
unable to F. - up - 0y the boilers with water, they
stopped for repairs. On the 25th the pumps
anti the boiler gave out, rendering it almost
impossible to keep up the fires. On the 2Gth
the steamship George Washington came along
and took off the passengers, but refused to
tow the steamer. The Blackstone was then on
the edge of Ibe Gulf stream, and in great
danger. When one hurnircd and ten miles
south of Hatteras they used sail, and, having
a fair wind, kept on their course.
On the 28th, having used steam as much as
possible, the men became exhausted, and had
to resort to sail alone, until they fell with

GEN. GRANT'S MOVEMENTS.
ENTHUSIASM OF THE BOSTONIANS OVER
HIS VISIT.
HE HOLDS A PUBLIC LEVEE IN
FANEDIL HALL.
BOSTON, July 31.—T0-day Lieutenant General
Grant has been-the guest of the city of Boston.
After breakfasting with his family at the Re
vere Honse, he was met by Mayor Lincoln and
Aldermen Clam) and Garfield, and soon after
nine olelock carriages Were taken fm-Charles
town Navy-yard.
Mrs. Grant, Miss Jessie Grant, and Masters
Fred. and Ulysses Grant, accompanied the
General, who, as usual, was loudly cheered by
an enthusiastic crowd. Leaving the hotel at
1 o'clock, the party arrived at the Navy Yard,
where lie was received by Rear Admiral
Stringham and his officers.
The Marine guard, under Lieutenant Pope,
were drawn up in line and presented arms as
the General passed. The Navy Yard band
played "Hail to the Chief:" The ,wokmen,
3,500 in number, were also drawn up in
and as the G en eral passed blended their hearty
cheers with the inspiring music of thelmnd.
OccaszoNAL
liosorev, July 31.— , The public „yeeeptiOn of
Lieutenant General Grant at Fanelli' fiall was
announced to take place at noon to-day, but
long previous to that hour, indeed, as soon as
the doors were thrown open, an immense
throng poured into the building; The hall
was soon tilled to its utmost capacity, and
thousands were compelled to Wait Without,
unable to gain admittance. The interior of
the hall was handsomely decorated, precisely
in the same Manner as at the recent reception
of Admiral Farragut.
7The General and his staff, accompanied by
Atavor_Line‘un,....utered.the_hall shortlAhefore
twelve o'clock, by a private entrance, and Gil.
More's band struck up, See the conquering
hero comes." The enthusiasm of the audience
manifested itself in loud and prolonged Cheer
ing and the waving of handkerchiefs, and it
was fully five minutes before stillness again
prevailed.
Mayor Lincoln now addressed the audience,
saying:
FELLow-cormZIMS : We have assembled here
to honor a distinguished guest, whose name is
a household word in every patriotic home—a
man of deeds, and not of words, whose elo
quence is of that kind which has stirred the
people's hearts more than any form of speech,
and who is here at our invitation, to receive
that gratitude and admiration for his eminent
Services which we rejoice in the oppOrianity
of extending to him. If our lips had been
dumb, these very walls would have reproached
us, and these pictured forms would have
rushed from their canvas to bid him welcome
to Faneuil Hall.
. _
am desired by him to express his thanks
to you for this demonstration, and to say that
he is not in the habit of Speaking, and will not
address this aSPembly. A portion of you, how
ever, he will gladly take by the band, but as
he has not an arm of iron, it can hardly be ex.
pected that he will be able to greet all of you
us you pay your respects to him.
At the conclusion of Mayor Lincoln's,
..re
marks, General Grant stepped forward upon
the platforth, the band allaying "Hail to the
Chief." After hewing_ modestly hit acknow
ledgments, and calmly surveying the multi
tude, he stepped back to receive the greetings
of those who were already struggling forward
for a chance to present themselves. For
half an hour a steady stream. of gentlemen,
with now and then a lady, poured by him, but
a hurried and slight grasp of the hand vas
all that he was able to bestow. Six or eight
hundred people thus extended their personal
greetings, when the General exhibited signs
of fatigue, and intimated that he should
have to forego_ the pleasure of extending the
ceremony longer. Stepping forward upon the
platform again, attended by. Mayor Lincoln,
he addressed the audience as follows!
LAMES ANT) GENTLEMEN: I m - 013.11111ke to take
you alt by the hand, but I find that it will be
impossible. I thank you for this, and for your
kindness: I will bid you a good afternoon.
The General then resumed his carriage and
drove back to the Revere House, attended nil
the way by a large crowd of people. This. al
ternoom about 3 o'clock, he will visit the col
leges in Cambridge, and fllo Cambridge Ar
senal, accompanied by Mayor Lincoln, andthis
evening will attend a dinner given in his honor
by the i.nion Club.
General Grant intends leaving for Portland
to-morrow morning, from which point he will
proceed to Halifax. A special trail - flirts been
tendered for his use byibuperintonflent 'Pres
cott, of the Eastern Railway.
Seine More Plain Talk from Governor
lirownlow- r -Gencral Thomas' Action
Endorsed.
NASHVILLE, July 30.—The Press, of this morn
ing, publishes a letter from Governer Brown
.
low to Mayor Andrews, of. Columbia, in reply,
to his remonstrance against theorder of Gene
ral Thomas, suspending him from the per
formance of the duties of his office. The
Governor says: You are accused of using
your official power in opposition to the freed
People of. Columbia, preventing their educa
tion &e. You will observe from the letter of
General Thomas, in the city papers this Morn•
big, that martial law is still in force in Ten
nessee. Our rebellious spirits have not yet
given sufficient assurances of returning loyalty
to the General Government to warrant the
withdrawal of the military power, or abandon
ment of the military courts. It is not strange
that the authorities should distrust people
who for four years applied every means in
their command to destroy the nation. Indeed
it is great concession on the part of the gene
ral commanding to declare that the military
will sustain the civil power.
"The Government will never assume its
functions exeept in eases where prompt action
is necessary to insure public safety, until our
people have given conclusive evidence of their
intention to obey all our laws, State and na
tional. You and I and all citizens are alike
liable to be arrested and tried, according to
the forms of military preatice. It is extremely
important all conflict between the civil dud
military authorities should be avoided, as we
are now situatedjust out of rebellion, in
which the people refused to lay down their
arms till forced to do so at the point of the
bayonet. The Civil government is onlyallowed
to proceed by permission of the military I
hence I deeply regret the occurrences at Co
lumbia. But the high character of General
Thomas For prudeneO, illatien, and. patriotism,
Warrants me iii assuring you that he will
gladly receive and impartially consider ally,
testimony you may WWI in your behalf."

RALEIGH, N. C., July n.---The Raleigh Progress
continues to denounce the reckless use of the
pardoning power in North Carolina. "This
misplaced leniency," it says, "is making the
leading rebels, who are daily receiving par
dons, still more defiant and disloyal than be
fore. Comprising the public men of the State,
they have all been designated as delegates to
the coining State Convention, which body, it is
known, they will control.No ,, roes and union
men are the special objects of their hatred,
whose protection depends entirely upon the
enforcement of the confiscation law, which dis
arms only the disloyal, who will be beyond the
reach of the Federal authorities as soon as a
new State Government is inaugurated. It is
understood that this element, who hold State
securities for upwards of *40,000,000, contracted
sines the rebellion for war purposes, will make
a strong effort to have the same assumed, by
not providing against it in the new Constitu
tion, but leaving it to further
"Owing to this unexpected exhibition of dis
loyalty and vindictive 'arrogance, the Union
men are endeavoring to have the call fel' a
State convention aeb!,yeit until after Congress
meets, which will save time as well as groat
expense, as the proposed Constitution is des
tined to be repudiated by the people, as it is
very apparent. it will be of an obnoxious elm
racter,judging from the material designated
to compose that body. These treacherous lead
ers, whthave been pardoned through Gover
nor Holden% recommendation, are now orga
nizing in every county, and openly assert that
their party is strong enough to defeat Mr.
Holden or any other candidate for Governor
who fails to identify himself with them."
Governor 'Holden drafted a effil for a Con
vention somb time Since, and sent it to Presi
dent Johnson for his ratification. since then
the opposition to an early Convention has as
sumed formidable proportions, and is daily
gaining strength.
nil - Anon, July 27.—William A. Graham, Esq.,
ex-Member of the Rebel Senate and a political
leader in this State, who will be a delegate to
the coming State Convention, says that under
no circumstances will he consent to the return
of North Carolina into the Union if the negro
suffrage question is made a condition.
J, li. P. Russ of this city, who recently re
ceived a Federal appointment, and who has
been designated to represent this district in
Congress, and also in the approaching State
Convention, defines his position on the slavery
question by saying that if he had the power
he would re-enslave every slave who is now
free.
Some of the county meetings, which nomi
nated the rebel leaders as candidates to the
State Convention, instruct them to favor by a
constitutional or legislative enactment, the
binding - out of the liberated slaves to their
former master,; for a term of years, The
Union men are alarmed at these fresh devel
opments of disloyalty, and are organizing for
the purpose of demanding the immediate en
forcement of the confiscation law, 'which they
claim will drive these rebel leaders and sym
pathizers from the political field, and enable
the men of clear record to present a conAitu
lion and delegation to Congress, which that
body can consent to accept. The reckless
manner of pardoning great leaders of the re_
hellion in North Carolina, such as graham
and others, is exciting grave apprehensions by
the loyal citizens of the State.

On the morning or April Id, the magnificent
Gallc , go lulls went down in the fierce conila- .
gration, but, providentially, Ilaxali and Cron-
SllftW'S mill escaped intact. •
lla'S all and Crenshaw's mill was built In 13,39,
and was suited with ten pair of burrs, but,
from time to time was enlarged until thirty
pairs were put in operation. Twenty-eight of
these arc appropriated to the operation of
grinding of wheat, and two to corn, the work
ing capacity being two thousand - barrels of
flour and about four hundred bushels of corn
per day,
The - buildings consist of two large mills and
one storehouse for grain, covering alt area of
83 by 200 feet, and another storehouse for flour,
about 70 by 100 feet. Connected with the esta
blishment are a cooper's shop, 120 by 40 feet ;
machine shop, 40 by 120 feet, and extensive
- kilns for drying and seasoning barrel timber.
There are also stables with 75 stalls, and two
buildings containing 20 rooms, for the accom
modation of laborers employed about the Ole-
Nish men t.
The ilour burrs are now idle, awaiting the
arrival of wheat, but the eons stones aro being
worked almost to their maximum.
_ .
The capacity of the mills that have escaped
the lire IS beyond the probable supply of
wheat this season.
"The Polley of the Government—The
Duty of the Southern People."
[From the Petersburg Express.)
tinder the above heading the Washington
Citron/de of Tuesday has a .leading editorial,
which will be found copied into our columns
this morning. We consider it a very signifi
cant and important document, and It should
be easefully read and pendered by our people.
"We do not assume," says the editor, /-‘ to
speak by authority, and wo have, therefore, no
privilege, even if -we had any disposition,
to dictate." Notwithstanding this disclaim
er, we have good reasons for believing
that the article just as much announces the
views and policy of the President as if it were
marked, "by authority." When we consider
the intimate relations between the editor of
The Chronicle (Mr. Forney) and the White
House, and the further fact, that the article
before us is double-leaded, which is not usually
the case with editorials, and whenever it is,
indicates that those which are thus distin
guished are intended to attract more than or
di nary attention—we have no difficulty in at
riving at the conclusion that this particular
artiere represents the opinions and purposes
of the President—in Other words, that it points
out "the policy of the Government," anti
conveys, in a premonitory way, such in
struction as to "tile duty of the Southern pee.
ple " as was deemed necessary for their
guidance at the present perilous crisis. We
dot hesitate, therefore, to commend this
paper to a careful perusal, and to advise the
People of the South to take counsel of its out
givings and appeals. It urges, as the basis of
the 1 , 1”0n , s restoration, the " spirit of 1111C011-
4iitilMal obedience to the Constitution anti
laws." "This," it says, "is the ono cardinal
principle to which all Americans agreg, save
only those who still hope for the division of
the country," meaning, of course, the radicals
and extremists, the breath of whose nostrils
is agitation—ceaseless, eternal, deadly agi
tation, for the sake only of agitation. The
article is obviously addressed to the people
of the South, and why 1 Because the radical
party at the North—the negro suffrage
and negro equality party—are ever Witten
ing the Southern movements and demon
strations with a view to turn them to their
own vile account. Any unguarded speech or
act ; any imprudence ; any display of disaf
fection for the Union ; any injudicious mani
festation of, discontent at the emancipation of
the slaves, or any harsh utterances or mea
sures about the freedinen—is sure to be
snatched up by the übiquitous " eorrespond•
cats," and made texts by the radical press and
orators for new inflammatory denuncial ions
of the South,, by which they would manage to
increase their influence and strength, and, in
a corresponding degree, perplex and em
harass - the Government and its conserva
tive supporters. We must judge the re
quirements, admonitions, and warnings of
the Chronicle, as set ferth in the RAMO we
are noticing, by the standard of the exigency to
which they are intended to apply, and by 1: o
other. We aro a vanquished people. We pro
voked the tierce wrath of the ruling power at
the North by a persistent and mighty attempt
to dismember the Union. We dared it to the
arbitrament of the sword. In the bombard
ment of Sumpter we threw down the gage of
battle, which was promptly accepted, and the
bloody struggle began. After the usual \leis.
Windt% of vietory and defeat which mark every
war, we are compelled at last, by the Seer•
whehning numbers and overwhelming re
sources which were brought !ohms against us,

gone out from us and were living there, were
