sentiment, as well as in interest, with the Confederate leaders; but it appears, of late, plain that the farmers who have so far escaped the net of the conscription, either have grown tired of the contest or despair of success, and that their great aim now is not to serve the rebellion, but to avoid sharing its fortunes." If all that were true,--and we leave it to the fellow-citizens of those heroic Georgia troops who have illustrated so many battle-fields to hurl back the accusation,--Lincoln has stepped in to supply to all the people of this country a motive of "desperation" which cannot fail to arouse the most sluggish and exasperate the most pacific. If they have not believed their own orators, their own newspapers, and their own governors, perhaps they will believe him when he tells them that slavery is abolished, and that they can only be allowed to approach his footstool as suppliants suing for mercy. If, after all this, they fall behind Russians, Tyrolese, and every oth
Sherman (search for this): article 1
As if it were not enough humiliation that Sherman had made a triumphful procession through the State of Georgia, the New York Times expresses its contemptuous opinion of the people thereof for permitting him to do it. That paper says that the most remarkable and significant revelation made by Sherman's march through Georgia was not, perhaps, the internal weakness of the Confederacy; but the entire absence of desperation on the part of that portion of the population which remains at homedear was at stake, and in which death was preferable to submission, it is impossible to believe that their resistance to Sherman's progress would have been so feeble. The proclamations of the leaders, of the Governor and Generals, of the Senators aposed just such obstacles to the progress of French armies of invasion, as the Georgians were asked to oppose to that of Sherman. They either rose en masse in their front, 'bushwhacked' them along every mile of the road, from behind every rock and

f Confederate garments, and the general "rebel style of shabbiness." The Confederate wardrobe, it is true, has become somewhat dilapidated by the war, but we should dislike to exchange the hearts that beat beneath it for the purple and fine linen of Broadway. Ragged as our soldiers are, they are not as badly off in that respect as the coatless and shoeless soldiers of the first Revolution, the praises of whose bare feet and tattered garments are to be found in Yankee histories of the days of 1776. Nor are they in anything like the forlorn condition of the army of Italy when Napoleon took command. Nevertheless, that army managed to make itself presentable at every court in Europe, and to cut a finer figure in history than kings and nobles.

The Herald asserts that all parties in the United States will now unite more harmoniously and effectively for vigorous war "than at any time since their first grand spontaneous uprising with the rebel bombardment of Fort Sumter."-- If that is true, it is equally true of the Confederacy, which has never been in such a blaze of excitement since 1861.--What did the union of all parties in the North, at the time of "the rebel bombardment of Fort Sumter," accomplish? Did it prevent "the rebels" from taking the fort? Has it enabled the Federalists, in four years of war, to retake what they lost? Seward promised them that in ninety days the war would be at an end.

Did the union of all parties in the North accomplish that prediction? What renders Northern union, even if it exists, more terrible now? They pretend to have four hundred thousand men in the field — the time of half of whom goes out this year. Suppose they keep that number up, and even exceed it by the coming draft. We can equal-their numbers, and they have given us such motives to fight as we never had before.--The defection
Abraham Lincoln (search for this): article 3
The New York Herald represents that Lincoln, at Fortress Monroe, presented "to the rebel States the open door of the Union; with all its constitutional guaranties, as their only way of escape from their sufferings and disasters under this terrible war." This in face of the fact that the United States Congress had formally abolished slavery; that the President of the United States announced to our commissioners that there could be no peace except upon the condition of laying down our arms according the death penalty to our citizens, and such legislation regulating the relations between the two races in the South as the Yankee Congress should adopt! We were to go into the Union without representation in the making of laws, for Mr. Lincoln told Mr. Hunter that while we could send representatives to the Yankee Congress, yet it rested with that Congress to say whether they would receive them or not!
