word that would cut both ways, took ground against them, and prevented the passage of many mischievous laws on that subject. The most flagrant misrepresentations were put forth as solemn truths, in order to inflame the passions of the people at home and excite the sympathies of those abroad. In this work Confederate clergymen were not ashamed to appear conspicuous. Ninety-six per sons of that class signed an Address to Christians throughout the world, which was sent out from Richmond in April, 1863, in which, after asserting that the Union could not be restored, said they considered the President's proclamation of freedom to the slaves a suitable occasion for a solemn protest on the part of the people of God, throughout the world. Then, without a shadow of truth, they, like the chief Conspirator, charged Mr. Lincoln with intending to produce a general insurrection of the slaves, See note 1, page 82. and solemnly declared that such insurrection would make it absolutely necessary

treachery flourished in Tennessee owing to this guerilla system. In some parts of the State almost every family had one or more of these quasi-soldiers belonging to a gang whose occupation was firing on unarmed steamers, and seldom or ever, even when supported by artillery, making a successful stand against the light gun-boats called tin-clads. Now and then they would receive severe punishment and some of them get killed; occasionally when overtaken they were summarily dealt with. In April, 1863, Lieutenant-Commander LeRoy Fitch was patrolling the Tennessee River with the gun-boats Lexington, Robert, and Silver Lake. This active officer made matters so uncomfortable for the guerillas that they did not often come within range of his guns. One of his first acts was to take on board his vessels one hundred and fifty soldiers from Fort Hindman. under command of Colonel Craig, and visit the landings infested by guerillas. At Savannah, where Lieutenant-Commander Fitch landed two hu

keep up such an effective blockade, contrary to the predictions of able statesmen and experienced admirals. This duty was relieved somewhat of its monotony, as it paid well in prize-money, which amply compensated officers and sailors for any hardships they had to undergo in winter storms or summer heats.

screw and prevent further progress, or even detain the vessel under fire of the batteries, for the grapnel which anchored the rope would also serve as a drag on the steamer, and it would be almost impossible to cut it loose when under fire. That the rope obstructions were in use before I took command, and afterwards, is satisfactorily ascertained from other evidence than that of Mr. Gray. A plan of the harbor of Charleston, signed by Major Echols, Confederate Engineer. and dated April, 1863, exhibits two lines of obstructions, designated as rope obstructions, the general direction being from Sumter to a point midway between Fort Moultrie and Battery Bee. The delineation shows a number of dotted lines, resembling the section of rope just described: the dots indicate only four buoys. They correspond closely with the description given by Commodore Rogers of what he saw from the Weehawken during the attack of 7th of April. In his official report he says: We approached v

rd; but the Government proposing to inspect her, in order to avoid detention she hastily put to sea with but a small portion of her crew on board, and these had been enlisted by the connivance of the Government official who aided in getting the vessel off. The Rappahannock was commissioned as a Confederate vessel-of-war in the British Channel, and was seized by a French gun-boat off Calais. The Georgia, a screw-steamer of seven hundred tons, was launched on the Clyde, and put to sea in April, 1863. A British merchant was her ostensible owner, and her guns and munitions of war were put on board the vessel off Morlaix. The case of this vessel was no greater violation of the neutrality laws than that of others; but the British Government, wishing perhaps to show that it would be neutral in 1863 if it had not been in 1861, instituted proceedings against the persons concerned in sending the Georgia to sea, and upon conviction they were each sentenced to pay the enormous fine of fifty

ng and supplying of these piratical ships and their crews in Brazilian ports were wrongs and injuries for which Brazil justly owes reparation to the United States, as ample as the reparation which she now receives from them. They hope and confidently expect this reciprocity in good time, to restore the harmony and friendship which are so essential to the welfare and safety of the two countries. The Georgia was a Glasgow-built iron steamboat, which had left Greenock, as tile Japan, in April, 1863; receiving her armament when off tile coast of France, and at once getting to work as a beast of prey. Having destroyed a number of large and valuable merchant ships, she put in at Cherbourg, and afterward at Bourdeaux; whence she slipped over to England, and was sold (as was said) to a Liverpool merchant for £ 15,000. She now set out for Lisbon, having been chartered, it was given out, by the Portuguese Government; but, when 20 miles from her port of destination, she was stopped Aug.
