Pennsylvania (Pennsylvania, United States) (search for this): article 3
More about retaliation. While our troops in Pennsylvania are "respecting private property," the Yankees in Mississippi are burning Panola and Batesville. Such is the return we receive for that amazing magnanimity which sacrifices our friends out of consideration for our enemies. The latter, it seems, are the only fit subjects for Confederate mercy. Our own people are not worthy to taste its benefits. How long is this state of things to continue? How long are we to submit to Yankee outrages without even attempting to retaliate? How long are we expected, when smitten on one cheek, to turn the other? In a little time we shall have no towns and villages left to destroy, and then, we suppose we may expect Yankee rage to subside, but not before. We hear it said that if we retaliate it will only induce farther outrage on the part of the enemy. Such reasoning is too pusillanimous to command the attention of a brave people. If we are afraid to strike lest we be struck in ret

Burnside (search for this): article 3
have entered upon this war. It would be better, even now, to give it up, and ask pardon of the Yankees for all the defeats our brave armies have inflicted upon them. But it is false reasoning. If we had retaliated sternly in the beginning we should have put an end to the system of out rages adopted by the Yankees at once. If we had hung a dozen Yankee officers when the Yankee Government refused to surrender the villain McNeil, we should have had no more military murders. The scoundrel, Burnside, who has shown his incapacity to fight, would never have dared to murder officers in cold blood, for recruiting in Kentucky, our own territory. If, whenever the Yankee officers murdered our citizens, taken in the act of defending their property against their armed marauders, five of their officers had been executed for every murdered citizen, an end would long since have been put to that atrocious system. War cannot be made upon the principles inculcated by the Peace Society. The Yan
