Orr (search for this): article 1
The bill to prevent quartermasters and commissaries from robbing the Government, which was presented a few days ago by Mr. Orr, of Mississippi, from the Military Committee, contains some provisions of singular severity. Proceeding on the around that every man is to be regarded as a rascal until he can prove that he is an honest man, it compels the officer to give in, under oath, once in every twelve months, a schedule of all the property he possesses, and to account for any accumulation that may occur in the interval. We cannot conceive that such a law would have but one effect: It would compel every honest quartermaster and commissary to resign, for no man of spirit and honesty would accept an office in entering upon which he would Stand in the light of a criminal, and continue so to stand until he had proved himself to be innocent. The inquisition into the private affairs of individuals, which the law prescribes, is entirely opposed to the genius of our laws and the charac
William Tecumsch Sherman (search for this): article 2
General Sherman, it is stated by an Augusta paper, said, in connection with a gentleman of Georgia, that "Slavery will exist in the South after the conclusion of peace, let the war terminate as it may, and that he expects to own a thousand slaves himself one of these days." We have little doubt that General Sherman made the remark, and as little that it will be realized in the event of our subjugation. What the form of slavery, or what name will be given to it by Yankee ingenuity, we cy pay?" The fate of slavery and the Confederacy, if conquered, depends solely upon the answer to that question. General Sherman has evidently made up his own mind in the affirmative. He knows, and his countrymen know as well, that cotton, rice and applaud their humanity, whilst they simply change the name and proprietorship of slavery in the cotton States. General Sherman expects to own a thousand slaves, and other Federal generals will be equally fortunate.--The possession of the slave

General Sherman, it is stated by an Augusta paper, said, in connection with a gentleman of Georgia, that "Slavery will exist in the South after the conclusion of peace, let the war terminate as it may, and that he expects to own a thousand slaves himself one of these days." We have little doubt that General Sherman made the remark, and as little that it will be realized in the event of our subjugation. What the form of slavery, or what name will be given to it by Yankee ingenuity, we cannot foresee, but that the thing itself will continue, and that the negroes will have to work harder and fare worse than slaves have ever worked or fared before in the Southern States, is as certain as the rising of to-morrow's sun. The Yankee sentiment of abolition is simply envy of the slaveholder, not love of the slave. Why should he love the black laborer of a distant region more than the white laborer of his own? --Every one is familiar with the harsh and oppressive manner in which Ya

ilanthropy of the age by sacrificing the non-paying labor of those States to the demands of abolition, calling upon the world to admire and applaud their humanity, whilst they simply change the name and proprietorship of slavery in the cotton States. General Sherman expects to own a thousand slaves, and other Federal generals will be equally fortunate.--The possession of the slaves will be simply transferred from the hands of their present owners to those of soldiers and citizens of the United States. They will raise more cotton, more sugar, and more rice, than were ever raised before. The only change in the system will be one which will enable the new slave-owners to be relieved from the support of the laborers in sickness and old age. The horror which the African troops experience in this war is nothing to that which they will suffer in fighting the battles of civilization? They will die like sheep under their Yankee taskmasters; but their places can be readily supplied by impor

and more rice, than were ever raised before. The only change in the system will be one which will enable the new slave-owners to be relieved from the support of the laborers in sickness and old age. The horror which the African troops experience in this war is nothing to that which they will suffer in fighting the battles of civilization? They will die like sheep under their Yankee taskmasters; but their places can be readily supplied by importing Coolies, after the fashion of England and France, or reopening the slave trade. No remonstrances of England and no Africa coast squadrons would prevent the adoption of the latter alternative if found essential to the demand of slave labor. It was the Yankees and England who first brought slaves from Africa to this continent, and either of them would do it again, or any other thing which their interests demand. Next to the present proprietors, the condition of the present slaves will, in the event of Southern subjugation, be most pit

munication by land with the latter. If he is not dislodged soon, Fisher must fall as Fort Morgan did, and with its fall the port of Wilmington will be sealed. Once firmly established on the narrow spit of sand, upon the outer end of which Fisher stands, the closing of the river above will be only a matter of time; and then, away go Fisher, Caswell and all the other works by which the harbor and town are defended. There has been gross dereliction of duty between here and Richmond; but whether the military or railway authorities are responsible for it, remains to be seen. But more of this hereafter. General Whiting is in command below. His report of the operations to-day has not been received as I close.--General Bragg is doing all he can with the handful of men present to hold the place. I omitted to mention that one of the Federal blockaders got aground on Friday night, while chasing the Little Hattie, and was abandoned and blown up. The Little Hattie got in safe.

It is Christmas day--the anniversary of the day when "the heavenly host" made proclamation of "peace on earth" and "good will toward men" and yet these same enemies give us war instead of peace, and a fearful fire of shot and shell instead of good will. We are not even permitted to drink our egg-nog in quiet, nor to fill the bags of the little ones with the gifts of thoughtful Santa Claus, nor to repair to the house of God, except with the accompaniment of 15-inch shells and rattling window panes. The Federal fleet which had been lying off this port for some days, and which consisted, it was supposed, chiefly of transports, was found to be composed of over fifty ships of war, including two monitors, several armored vessels, and a large proportion of heavily-armed frigates and sloops. This formidable fleet stood in at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, and at twenty minute
