United States (United States) (search for this): article 1
We believe that the evacuation of Charleston and of all our scabbard cities would long ago have added to the strength of the Confederacy. It is mortifying to give up a city which is the peculiar object of Federal vengeance, and which has been so long and so heroically defended. But, after a four years resistance to the utmost power of the United States, it loses no honor by the evacuation, which military necessity has compelled. The Yankees may hold Charleston for a time, as the British did in the Revolution, but the end of the war will restore it to the Confederate flag, and it will enter a new career of prosperity and importance. Whatever the event of the struggle, Charleston has covered itself with renown, and will long live in history.
Butler (search for this): article 2
Some of General Butler's enemies at the North are making a grand fuss over sundry alleged cotton speculations of his; in which he has defrauded the United States Government. It is natural that such conduct should excite indignation among the most scrupulous and honest community in the world, but we doubt whether it can be is capable not only of such an abomination, but of the infinitely greater wickedness of being found out. If we have sometimes beheld or fancied something dark in Butler's aspect, we have certainly never perceived anything green. We refuse to believe any charges of cotton stealing against that exemplary person till we see the evis proved guilty. We are slowly coming to the conclusion that being found out is the only crime in the moral code of most politicians. We do not believe that Butler is likely to be guilty of this crime. He is neither better nor worse than many other of the large gang of political adventurers to whom he belongs. It is all ve

h are making a grand fuss over sundry alleged cotton speculations of his; in which he has defrauded the United States Government. It is natural that such conduct should excite indignation among the most scrupulous and honest community in the world, but we doubt whether it can be proved. No man would venture on the perpetration of such an atrocity, in such a country, without using the greatest precaution to cover his tracks. We are unwilling to believe that our late estimable neighbor at Dutch gap is capable not only of such an abomination, but of the infinitely greater wickedness of being found out. If we have sometimes beheld or fancied something dark in Butler's aspect, we have certainly never perceived anything green. We refuse to believe any charges of cotton stealing against that exemplary person till we see the evidence, and every man has a right to be considered innocent till he is proved guilty. We are slowly coming to the conclusion that being found out is the only c

to forward their own; even conniving at the false marking and direction of freight for bribes, so that sometimes the Confederate armies are left without a ration of meat, in order that Suggs & Co. may turn an honest penny. Now, does any one suppose that commercial communities, made up of the Suggs family, are going to suffer ? We have too high an estimate of the abilities and resources, improved by four years sharp practice upon Confederates, to make any such supposition. Suggs will meet Sherman at the gates of a city, hand him over a quiet and orderly population, get it to his ears that of all the oppressed and persecuted victims of Confederate tyranny Captain Simon Suggs has been the greatest sufferer, and end by obtaining sundry contracts, which will make Yankeedom bleed at every pore. In a word, we do not believe that the Yankees can equal Confederate genius in any field, good or bad, of mortal effort. They may compel Simon Suggs to take the oath, but he will take them

ry day of the week. But the most eloquent sermon on extortion might as well be preached to the waves of the sea, and the most scathing pens are as powerless to arrest the course of speculators as the pinions from which they were plucked to change the course of the winds. We have heard of reformed gamblers, reformed drunkards, and reformed transgressors of various kinds, but a reformed speculator is a prodigy that has not been brought to light in this or any other day and generation. Rev. Sidney Smith, having fallen off a good deal at one time, advertised for twenty-five pounds of missing or lost clergyman. There is a good deal more than that missing from many Confederate soldiers and citizens, but no need of advertising. It can readily be found on the fat speculators, who have gained as much as their countrymen have lost; who have absorbed all the rich juices of the land; lean and hungry kine before the war, who have since devoured all the fat and well liking; thin and blasted ea

y department of human enterprise. We should like to have the opinion of Captain Simon Suggs on that subject. When the Captain found that he had not a single piece took up a collection for the building of a meeting-house in his neighborhood.
