The Daily Dispatch: February 11, 1865., [Electronic resource], The sword of justice. (search)
The sword of justice. As we anticipated, the refusal of the Southern Commissioners to accept terms of degradation, which those who proposed them knew could not be accepted, has been followed by a menace of exterminating vengeance. Lincoln's newspaper organ, the Chronicle, says "the sword of justice must execute the work which the folly of blinded leaders would not accord to the arts of pacification." The whole mission of Blair to Richmond was designed for no other purpose. Was ever a country before, with three large armies in the field, called upon to lay down its arms in unconditional submission; to give the party making the demand the right to hang its principal citizens if he chose to exercise it; to surrender its whole property, as the only condition of peace? And could a Government, making such a proposition, seriously expect compliance? Could it expect the most heroic race of men on this continent to sheathe their swords upon such terms? Could it believe the South

to meet it with telling effect whenever and wherever they may see fit to advance. The papers of this date bring news which will inspire the soldiers with new fortitude, energy and patriotism. There was, for a time, a hankering after the fleshpots of Egypt with a few who were so weak as to place any reliance upon the sensational rumors designedly gotten up by Yankee mendacity through that intriguing politician who was so lately welcomed in Richmond with his inoculating poison. Yet Lincoln has given the antidote to his poison in his interview with our commissioners; and we feel that soon the poison will be entirely counteracted and the army will be far more determined than ever. We lost but very few men in the whole engagement, yet some of our best officers have fallen. General Pegram is no more. Colonel Houston, of the Stonewall brigade, was killed. Captain Barton, inspector of Terry's brigade, was wounded in the leg. Captain Skinner, Forty-eighth Virginia regime
