crees of Great Britain and France, which accorded the character of a belligerent to the insurgents, the statesmen of those countries have answered, that from the first they agreed in opinion that the efforts of the Government to maintain the Union, and preserve the integrity of the Republic, could not be successful. With a view to correct this prejudgment of so vital a question, I addressed a circular letter to the representatives of the United States in foreign countries on the fourteenth day of April, 1862, in which I reviewed the operations of the war on sea and, land, and presented the results which had attended it down to that period. The prejudice, which I then attempted to remove, still remains, and it constitutes the basis of all that is designedly or undesignedly injurious to this country in the policy of foreign nations. The insurgents have been enabled to protract their resistance by means of sympathy and aid they have received from abroad, and the expectation of further

General S. Cooper, Richmond, Va.: All present probabilities are that whenever the enemy moves on this position he will do so with an overwhelming force of not less t
ave we not hacked, and hewed, and burned, And pillaged what the poor had earned; Brought havoc on the rich, and spurned The famished and the dying? ”So, being thine in word and deed, We trust we shall not vainly plead In this our time of frightful need And perilous reverses; Therefore, sink every Federal boat, Let Stanton be with palsy smote, Make George McClellan cut his throat, And blast Old Abe with curses! ”Then, Satan, whilst we give thee thanks, Kill Shields, choke Halleck, poison Banks, And spread through all the Yankee ranks Terrific devastation! Let loose the plagues and pestilence, Stir up the Northern malcontents, And drive the invading mudsills hence, In utter consternation! ”By all the incense we have brought; By all the ruin we have wrought; By every woe and every clot Of murder, grim and gory; By every shriek and every wail That makes the stunned heart blanch and pale, Oh! let thy servants now prevail-- And thine shall be the glory!” Saint Paul, April 14, 1862

These were soldiers in the rebel army at Corinth, and they each wrote these letters upon note-paper bearing the shield, eagle, stars and stripes, the word Union, and the motto, Emblem of our nation's Liberty, at the head. The envelope, enclosing one of them at least, has the stars, stripes, cannon, soldier, etc., of the Government, and the device Our Union defenders.
