"the feeling at the North."
Under this heading a paragraph has been going the rounds purporting to be from the pen of
Rev. J. R. Graves, of
Nashville, author of ‘"The Great Iron Wheel,"’ giving a description of the intense war feeling at the
North.
Mr. G. is not the author of the article, as we learn from a letter, though it was written by
a Rev. Mr. Graves, a Presbyterian minister of the
North Carolina Synod, who has returned from a visit of
six weeks to the
North, having succeeded in getting a passport from the authorities at
Richmond to visit his relatives and friends there.
What importance is to be attached to grave opinions, formed in so short a visit, we are not prepared to state, but as the supposition that these opinions were entertained by
Rev. J. R. Graves gave them additional weight with the public, it is proper to place the authorship where it belongs.
