SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
ATLANTA., GEORGIA:
WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 27.1863.
The Maryland Line.
We notice with pleasure that the men of the
old Maryland Linn in our army bore a promi
nent part in the late contest on the Rappa
hannock, as well aa in the brilliant raid made
by Sana Jones and Tmboden into the enemy’s
country. Their conduct and services are the
beet answer that they could make to the elan-
dare sad abuse headed upon their unfortunate
State.
Among the many noted names of Maryland,
who fell at Chancelloraville, we find that ef
Lieut. Noah D. Walker, of the 44tli Virginia
Regiment. This young man, when the liber
ties of tbe South were first invaded, left his
home in Baltimore, where he lived in‘bp en
joyment of n princely fortune ef $8,000,050,
and enlisted as a volunteer under the banner
of Virginia. At tbe battle of Coal Harbor,,
bis regiment was broken, the standard over-'
thrown, and tie field officers either killed,
wounded or scattered. He uplifted the colors
from the ground, ralliql and led the' scattered
columns to victory, and was promoted, at the
instance of Gen. Jackson, for his courage on
tbat ocsiaion. While gallantly leading his
company at ChaacellorsviUo he was killed,
aad fell amidat his gallant band, cheering
them on to glory. His faneral obsequies took
place in Richmond on tbe 20lh inst., and were
attended by citizens and soldiery, who sym
pathized with the unfortunate hero who had
made so many sacrifices for the cause. »
With each young men in oar army, Mary
land will not be without her history and her
heroes in this war.
' Crittenden .. .*
The uarnc of John J. Crittenden was once in
the Soatb asynonyn with honor, greatness and
fidelity to principle, .No one among the buns
dreds of (boulands of our people who admired
MdMigyMJUfl UjbilliMt jel^Mi, lofty*
integrity and devotion to the South, ever dream
ed that hp would live to beja trmtor, a fool, and
an imbecile, but such is the fact.
To-day we publish a late electioneering
speech of hie, mode while canvassing to secure
hi- re-election to Abe’s puppet Congress. Wo
publish it more to show how low a man can tail
even from such a lofty bight; the degrading
depthato which humanity aasjr Sink: and to
what bate uses we may come at last, than for
any other purpose. Read the sickly gabbled

The Persecution e ef the Abolitionists.
We find the following two items in altalch
of news froqt Washington city:
- TO BK SBWT SOtTTH.
Ur. Thomas Miller, an old and prominent
citizen of Washington, was notified to day that,
he would be sent South in a few days.
A BAIB1XO DOUSE CLOSED.
The banking bouse of William T. ,Smithson
waa seized to-day and closed. Smithson is
in prison, charged with buying Confederate
money.
Dr. Miller is an old and highly esteemed
citizen of Washington, and a large property-
holder. We knew him well—lived next door
to him for a year. He is a distinguished phy
sician and a most useful man.
Mr. Smithson we also knew well. The
whole South knew him, tbrongb bis widely
known ardent Southern proclivities, and his
noble effort to build up the Southern Method
ic Cturch in tho City of Washington Ho
Was arrested toon after tbe commencement of
the war and kept in prison a long time, when,
he was released without nay trial, and no spe
cific charges were ever made against him. A.
few week* ago he was again*arrosted and im
prisoned, charged with buying Confederate
notes. The above notice shows that his bank
ing house has been eeixed upon, and his effects,
no doubt, confiscated.

of the deepest interest have engaged all minds
and hearts, from the fireside of (be humbfe.-t

chambers of the President. By a clear under
standing of Ibis course of your representative,
you will be able to determino lor yonrselres
the propriety of his views. I have endeavored
to perform my duty with a heart faithful to your
rights and your honor, but yon ebill be the
judges of my success.

an expedient one, who does hot employ circum

I saw tbe rise ol this rebellion, bat could hardly

We have seen that previous to this,' Air. Min

cause of irritation between both England and
circum.lances, still the irritation will continue
after its cause his been removed.
'While we do not admit that this will result in
an imtuRdiBM recognition of the Southern Con
federacy aa an independent nation, there is no
doubt hut it will be a great step towards it. It
is hopeless tbat after that recognition wo-can
remain at peace with those powers. There Avilti

As much cause, therefore, as we have to be

CAPTCT.E OF JACKSON.
AdisuatcU from GeneralHurlbnrt, command-,
mat at Memphis, received yesterday afteruooo,
aaya:
“Gen. Grant has taken Jackson and burned
the Capital.
“From fiive to ten thonsand mounted men
are concentrated near Akalana, threatening
an advance in tbe direction ot the Memphis
railroad.
“A citizen just op from Jackson, reports
that the enemy evaluated Viekabarg on Satur
day, marching on tha ridge northeast lo Living
change the national feelings of Congress Were
verified. Still, I was for the war. Notwith
standing the Confiscation Act, notwithstand
ing the Emancication Proclamation, and the
emancipation laws, notwithstanding the poli
cy of raising negro armies, and the talk about
negro equality with" whiu men as soldiers—
and I voted against them all—notwithstanding
their adoption, I have still advocated the pros
ecution of the war. Wt.Vio the reheUfon was
before me, while tbe great enemy of my coun
try was before me, I was still for tho j.wnr,
without an armistice; regardless of foreign in
tervention—figbiiog alt the world, if necessa
ry—till the rebellion is put down. I was dis
satisfied with the policy of the Administra
tion I thought, it my duty to tell Congress
and the Government that we thought these
measures were impolitic and unconstitutional.
But still it was our duty to fight-the rebtllion;
it was tbe greatest danger, and it wad right in
our faces. Our Constitution and laws might
all be-violated or suspended, it would be of no
use to stop lo talk. After this war is over, the
people may, in their wisdom, correct the er
Tore and repair the misQhtof, and prevent fur
ther encroachments on tbe Constitution and
their tights. This is my opinion, and t am
free to expres it, as 1 feel fren to express
every other sentiment or oonviction of my
mind.
I am, therefore, for tho prosecution of the
war until it shall have accomplished its end.
To the dissolution of this Union, I nr-vo.r will
fle out tbe few
I dagainst the government; but here.it
would seem, there could be no civil war or re
volt, unless it was against the people themselves.
But so it wae. I did what 1 conid to prevent it,
and, il the proposition I offered had been accept
ed, I think I might say with confidence there
would have been no war, and I should have had
the satisfaction of believing that I had done
something tn the way ol saving my country
from its greatest calamity; bat that honor was
not reserved for me, nor that blearing for my
coantry. The compromise was rejected; tho
rebellion snd >he war followed. It was s rebel
lion without just cause; so I then thoughr, and
si I still think. The Administration up to that
time, Mr. Lincoln having been inanguraud, bad
done nothing ot injustice to any section, or State,
or individual. Throughout this great land no
single individual could be pointed out, to whom
the government had done injustice; no man
fiBjMjvhdtn the government bad taken properly,
or whose had been encroached upon;
HfWffiwho hadbeen'hnjuslly imprisoned.
Upon what,'then, was-the rebellion founded f
Lincoln had been .elected, and with him came
into povvt (hose who had elected * him,- princi
pally from those who favored abolition. Upon
this ring’w-facr they founded an apprehension
that the new President and new Administration,
with the Con gross elected, would use their pow
er for the purpose of sbolisbiug slavery and des
polling them of their rights.' Upon this appre
hension they set to work to involve their coun
try in the certain calamities of this tragic war;
Waa ■ mere apprehension-a suffieieat ground for
such s proceeding t Is war, with all its calam
ities, to be resorted to because men apprehend
sum daneere may come upon them ? There
ought tu be the most solid and convincing rea
sous, and *certainty ol actual mischief, in or

SST’The New York Post and the New York

has long since discovered that what is “cap

journals is only the intensification of patriot
ism in a journal c-f other tendencies. Their

was the wish of a certain parly to do what they
feared. But tbat very party had engaged, in

right ol slavery in the* slave States should be
recognized; that slavery shon’d not be inter
fered with by Co.tgress. Another thing that
rendered this apprehension unreasonable is this;

mentally, impossible for Lincoln, and his friends

this apprehension was industriously circulatrd
through the Souths and tbe people were stirred
up against the Government to such a degree
that violence against it broke out, and from that
day to this we have had the bloodiest, tbe sad
dest and greatest ot all wars -the most momen
tous io its consequences, for on the result ofl
this' war banga the stability,qf (lie greatest gov
ernment the world has known. It involves, to a
mighty extent, tbe destiny of mankind, the lib
erty and welfare of the human rnce.
In the presence of these momentouB conse
quences, I have endeavored to act in a man
ner worthy of my constituents, and worthy of
my oountry. Of coarse I was for the war.—
What war oould be more just; Hero waa a
rebellion raising ite fratricidsl band against the
Government—against tbe mostpeaoeable, hap
py, and prosperous people tbat tbe ann ever
ebone u pon. In the midst of all our blessings,
which were indicative of Heaven’s high favor,
os though recognizing the divinity of free
government, suddenly there arises, not a for
eign enemy, not an alien jealons of onr pros-
perity and greatneis, but our own brethren
arise, with arms in their hands, ready to tear
ua to pieces, and avowing their porpose to
overthrow our Government and onr liberties,
and set us adrift again npon the wide oeean
of experiment. Where conid we ever hope do
find a better Government f Where could we
ever hope to fitvd men more competent or true
to the people than those who made this gov
ernment of oura! Who ia to snpply, in these
latter-days, tho place of Washington, the
place of Madison, the place of Jefferson, the
place of Chief Justice Marshall, the place of
Alexander Hamilton ? Who shall supply the
places of those mighty intellects? Are the
demagogues of the present day equal to the
task.? They are ready to attempt il and be
Hove that, if ybu would give their, a chance,
they conid, before another morning’s aim, pro
duce a constitution and form of government
much better than that of Washington and the
other great men of bis time, who took weeks
and months to perfect the one we inherited
from them.
Now; how conid I, th native-born Kehtncki-
an, be otherwise than for the war to defend
and preserve this glorious government of onra
against tho rebellion ? I was for tho war, and
have been a supporter of the war all tbe time.
But I wanted to see nothing ignoble in this
contest. I thought that a plain, straightfor
ward, manly way, would be the best in patting
down the rebellion. I wanted no indirection.
I looked upon it as a national contest, and de
sired to ace all party Teeling abandoned. D
was a war of defeneo on your part. Gorl bad
given you an inheritance greater tkan any
vouchsafed to any other nation ; and should
you basely surremler.it without a struggle,
saying to the rebels, “ take it and do as .you

regarded any man who should attempt to di
vide the people on party questions as a male
factor, and treated him as such. Entertain
ing these views, yet with , some apprehension
that, in the tJtock uf war, there might be some
revival of ancient party feeling that would
lead to the use of this war for other purposes
than that for which alone it ought to be pros
ecuted, the effect of which wonld be to divide
cur people, I offered a resolution, for the pur
pose ot clearly defining the objoct of the war.
ta the end that neither Whigs, Abolitionists
nor Democrats should deviate from it for par
ty purposes. Congress adopted this resolution
by an unexampled majority. Thus the course
of the war seemed to be marked out. If

interest of aoy State or the institutions of any
of the ;’-tales. They shall i tinaiti unmple-te i.
The wholt objeBt of the war should be to re
ther Abolithinits, Democrats nor Whigs should
trouble us with the introduction ot any of
their peculiar claims. We had tho nation to
fight'for, and not party dogmas.

without being com polled to sanction .a propo.
sition for the dismemberment of tho Union;
but, notwithstanding, from principle, for the
perpetuation of free government, I would pros
ecute this war ns long as there iB a rebel in
arms, threatening that Government, and
threatening Kentucky especially. ■ Tho rebel
Gov’nmcfit claims Kentucky as its own,because
some of her recreant sons have gone off into
its service. Yes, the rebels say, we will havo
Kentucky anyhow; it isn’t worth while' for
her to struggle. You have, therefore, some
thing more than a general interest in this
war; you havo a particular one. The.'South
wants yon; you havo a rich country, and are
prosperous; yon can pay taxes; yon are a
soldierly, fighting people, and if they can
conqner you, yon may be made to serve them
well. What Kentuckian will not say, tbe war
shall be presented to thalast extremity by
those who wore Dorn in “the land of fair wo-
met aad brave men ?” (Great cheers ) I tell
you, the rebellion never shall, never can snb
i ngate you, if you are determCfied they shall
not. (Applause.)
Now, it is. prepared by some, in their i nger
ainst -the Government, tor violating its
pledge iu that resolution to whioh I have re
ferred, to resent it-r-hy what* Byrefusing
to .fight the rebellion-by refneiug to give
money or men for the prosecution of the war.
Will that better tbe matter? Will jh»t course
save you, and save our glorious country and
Government? If yon offer no resistance, yon
surrender to it, and lore yonr manhood. But
if you tight it ont, we can easily repair all
thn damage which the people, in their judg
ment, may think has been-committed on the
Constitution and the laws. I hope to live to
see this dono. I hope to aee it done in a man
ner worthy of a great nation—not by tf mob,
or with any violence. I want to see it done
in accordance with those forms of law tbat
will give it dignity hereafter. A wise man
must regulate and reconcile his duties, and
discharge them all in the best order he can.
Admit that it is onr duty to seo that theso
enoroaebments upon our liberties are correct
ed, that no bad precedents may be left for
justifying future encroachments. Tbat is' one
duty. But here is the rebellion, with the
sword uplifted; is it not our duty tn savo our
country firs’, and then turn around an'd save
the Constitution ? [Great applanse ] The
measures to whioh I have alluded are obnox
ious, but the rebellion is more so. [Still
greater applause ]
My countrymen, tbe great issue, and the
greatest issue that the events of this world
avar brought about, is the preeervuti jti u r the
country entire. You have the greatest conn
try, and the greatest Government tho world
ever saw, in a country springing up in a man
ner tbat astonishes and awes the civilized
world; and to pat down this rebellion it neces
sary to its preservation.' Shall we do it ?—'
Shall we, the sonB of revolutionary' sires,
shrink from a war, even with our own breth
ren, when it is necessary in order to maintain
onr rights, onr liberties, and onr cuutry ?
I want to make no opposition to these meas
ures, obnoxious as they are, inconsistent with
my bostilily and determination to overthrow
tbe rebellion, That comes first, and must re
ceive immediate attention. I am not a man
tbat has ever indulged in.olamors and sedition*
lolicy; I am not a man to give way to viru-
ent, personal feelings; I have never forgotten
proper decorum toward those in authority.
The President I believe to be a moot well-
meaning and excellent man; and.it is not by
driiounciog bis views, it is not by the lan
guage of passion and reproach that errors in.
public affairs can be rlgbied, and the Govern
ment conducted successfully. Neither on this
nor any other occasion has it been my habit
to make outcry and clamoT; but, when usur
pations of power are made dangerous, and
when encroachments upon my liberty and
the liberty of my constituents, and upon the
Constitotion, intended to guard the liberties
of us all, made, I wonld havo every man have
epirit enough to declare his opinions aud offer,
fils protests. Without this freedom i f speech,
there can be no lasting liberty; The Republic
cannot exist. If. every man should close his
lips, and not venture even a word agziast vio
lated rights, who conid maintain a free Gov
ernment? Nobody. A people who cannot
discuss tho publio measures of the nation, and
apply the necessary rebuke to secure correc
tion of wrongs, cannot be a free people, and
do not deserve to be. Bat it is not necessary
that it be done with passion. Yon&reapor
lion of the people of the United States; act in
a manner becomingyour high character. Se
dition does not become it; clamor does not be
come it. Action, at the proper time, and in
the proper manner, oocording to' legal and
constitutional provision, is what we want, and
what the world has a right to expect.
The question now before ns is simply this :
Are you lor the coantry and the Government!
1 am. A< for the little party scheming about
emancipation end negro equality, I am opposed
to it. But still I am for the war, since the war
is clearly necexsary to save the country and the
Constitution, in which and under which alone
there error* cm be-corrected. This- war waa
unexpected; - it was a new subject for the
thoughts of our people. Who could see his way
clear through this night ol storm 1 The wiaeat
man could only feel, and cautiously plan, and
advance step by step. He had a Union to aave,
and it became him to move xautioualy ; and he
who, under such circumstances, would give way
to his own personal preanmption and folly, and
endeavor to make uae of the great catastrophe
to accomplish little party or sectional purposes,
comes far short of his doty. I have'endea
vored to avoid this weakness; how far I hive
succeeded you, my friends, must be the j-i<*g
would it he to havo hiriory record that wc and
our children enjoy the liberty saved from de-
8trnctian by tho hands of onr slaves ? A few
more of onr sons might die on the battle field,
but more of them would live in imperishable
glory hereafter.
_ Again, when one of the military appropria
tion bills came up, a proposition was made
that none of the money appropriated by tbe
act should be applied to raising negro regi
ments, or la pay for the emancipation ol
slaves. They wonld hot allow a vote npon tbe
proposition, and because of Ibis I retained my
vote, I didn’t want to vote againsrit, because
it mndo appropriations for tho war, and I didn’t
want to vote for it, because the m»j .rity re
fused to agree that no part of the money
should he applied to pay for negroes.
I believe! have thus given tha general prin
ciples whiab guided my eonduct daring tba
last Congress, as yonr representative. When
I came home from-Watbingfon this spring, it
was with no expectation or wish to return. I
cherished tho desire that the remnant of my
life might he devoted to quiet, and Christian
reflections and association*. But I have pe~-
milled myself, against much opposition on my
part, to be persuaded that it was the wish of
the people that I, having been so long in Con
gress, and being.so familiar with tho great
questions connected with the welfare of tbe
nation, should represent them yet another
term, in consideration of the time of great
trial which is upon us.
In conclusion,' let .me say that it is to onr
interest to bring this war to a conclusion a*
soon as possible. My chief objection to tbe
obnoxious measures of the Administration, is
that they exaspn.ate the enemy, and lend to
prolong tho war; not that the rebels do not de
serve the penalties they impose, for they have
made themselves richly deserymg of them all;
but it wasto our interest to bring thn war to
a speedy and satisfactory conclusion. But
lerus fight through it aa best we can. The
enemy challenges us; he is iu our way; he
standsbefore us, defying us with all the bold
ness of the Philistines of old, and especially
defying you Kentuckians, and proclaiming his
determination to make you his spoil. Will
you hesitate what course to pursue ? I don’t
mako war upon the South because I hate tbe
South. It is not from any personal feeling
against the South, but it ia bccinse I condemn
their eoqduct and hate the principles they are
endeavoring to carry out. I don't love tbe
South the less, but 1 love my oountry more
My hostility is the result of principle, whioh
is the same, morning, noon and evening—in
the morning.of the year, aud at the neon and
evening of every year. The mere politician
sayb he is angry with tho S.mth; tint there is
nothingrelUblo iu anger; it is a passion, and
may change any hour or day, and be against
you when yon think it will be for you.
The nation will get through its difficulties
We have the power and tbe will to do it, ami
we shall accomplish it. That great Provi
dence that has made qs the Btaodard-bearer of
freedom will not permit our Government logo
down and leave the world in gloom. I have
faith; “there is a Divinity above tbat shapes
all our ends,” and He will shape the destiny
of our nation. Ub oaraer has only just begun,
and Providence does not pemit a half finished
work iif such momentous proportions to fail
and be abandoned; and I trust in God that
we, 'the people,' do not intend it. Onr ’hearts
must be filled with tbe noble'determination to
maintain the integiity of onr Government,
while we grow greater and greater, mightier
and mightier, richer in civilization, grander

with us on the calamities of wsr. Let me tell
you this soiemnlruth: both England and Franco
want your.country divided; bjlh of them arc
witnesses to you how important il is tn you that
it shall not be divided. They want it divided
in order to weaken you, that by weakening they
may conquer yon. They want to Europeanize
all America. France is trying to do it now in a
portion of the continent. But th:y are a litib
afraid. There ares million of freemen in arms,
and a million more ready to spring up to the de
fense of tbe nation against a foreign foe. [A
voice, with a well known brogue—‘ and all In
land is ready too!” Groat and continued ap-
lianas.] That ia true. Let England and
j’rance make a hostile movement, and the heirts
of our pcuptc will be roused. It will no longer
be a contest between brethren. The sight of a
foreign foe will kindle a fire cf patriotism that
will rouf-e the nation to a just sense of its dan-,
gcr; and we will beat off the combined force*
as easily as.we now hold the rebels in check.
And when our erring brethren shall come
back, when tbe war ia over, we will endeavor,
aa a matter of policy, and for humanity's sake,
to treat it'as a family feud. We will make
reconciliation aa far as possible. We w-l! cn

seemed to think that there was no more hsrm
ia rebellion than in going to church, it wav
merely a turning to the right or the left. But
they have found out their mistake. They now

“Camill*”akd “The Makble Heart.”—
The play of “Camille” a aa first producedin
Paris about six’csn years ago. The loreltes ol
Paris were charmed with it, and actually
strewed fiOffitrs in the path of the author, Du
mas the younger. The great novelist was bo
chagrined at IhU unloosed for d.'monsirallou
that he turned the tables, and produced, in a
few months, “Iha Marble Heart,” in weifh a
woman of the eaue class with Camille por
trays all her hearties* insti-’.cts.
Why dill Hooker's Army Retreat S
Tho following was telegraphed to New
York from Washington, tha 19th instant:-
Afact has come to light within a few days
past that has lost Gen. Hooker wliat few
friends ho has had in military circles sinceJtis
famous nine Jay’s campaign to the Southside
of tho Rappahannock and back again. It
seems that after the battles of Hitunlay and
Sunday a council of war was held of all the
corps commandors, to decide what waa beat to
be done. When the counoil opened Geu. Rey
nolds stretched hi-usolt on a comp bed, with
a remark to the effect that he wbb going to
toko a uap, as the decision of coursa would be
to move the army out of its intrcnohmenls to
fight Lee. Aad he did go to sloop to be a«-
founded wben he awoke with the new* that
General Hooker had determined to reoroas
the river. It-seems all tho corps command
ers save Gen. Sickles urged the. polley of at
once attacking the enemy, who at that moment
was moving to drive Gen. Sedgwick’s corps
across the river. Gen. Sickles alone proposed
a retreat, and his councils prevailed against
all the other corpe commanders. The only
exouse for Hooker is that he had diaooverod
hie utter inability to handle a large army,
and moreover wss, perhaps, laboring under a
fit of depression, such aa otten occur to people
whose appetites for btimulanU are exoessive.
This report, which is undoubtedly .true, is
cresting much comment here. It .iarumored,
iu connection with this matter, that General
Sickle* is to be detached from the atmy of the
'Potomac, and will shortly have bio headquar

Yaukee Losses in the Late Baltics on tbe
Rappahannock.
. Tho Near York World of the 20th instant
says:
In view of the character and number* of
the two armies engaged ln-the recent bhttlea
on the Rappahannock, we estimated, a short
lime since, th&t the Union losses conid not
have been less than 25,000 men. Our judg
ment baa been confirmed by all the authentio
facto whioh have oonie to light. Itis admit
ted officially that 7;000 Union prisoners have
been relented from Richmond, un.i the .oliow
ing from the Washington correspondent of the
Commercial Advertiser tolls of the killed and
wounded:
“ The oldest and mast experienced newt-
mongers are just now completely at far.lt, and
are unable to pick tbe goidan thr.-Uo of truttt
from the tangled web of military , ■ asip —
Certain it is tbat tho army of the Potomno has
fostalarge number of “priaonew and mis
sing’’—that its dead and wounded exceed 23,
000 - that it left on the Southern bank of tho
Rappahannock twenty-four pieces of artillery,
with alarge quantity of arms and ammunition,
and that a majority of it* general officers de
sire n new commander. ”
This would foot up tha total ln«3 aa not less
than 30.000, a very different result from the
••IO.OOij” report of Gen Hooker, hut none Itio
lees likely on that account to be true.
