POLLARD’S. SOUTHERN HISTORY OF
' THE WAR. " .
m We learn from our Northern exchanges
that Mr. Pollard has npw in tho press, a
Book of800 pages with 24 steel engravings,
entitled ‘‘The Lost Cause;” or a Southern
History of tho War. This is said J.o he *u-
‘ perior to any thing Mr. Pollard has pre
viously written.
This Book will he interesting for the many
important facts which It records; but there
is one thing which will color tho whole nar
rative, and greatly detract irom its’ value.
M- Pnllnrrl was a violent opponent ofl’rcs-
ident Davis’ administration—a prejudiced
witness of the facts about which he testifies
—and on that subject has not written, and
cannot write, a true and impartial- history.
THE NATIONAL UNION CONVENTION—
OUR DUTY.
We are gratified to observe tliat a strong
movement is being made by. tho Conserva
tive Republicans, who are supporters of the
policy of President Johnston, to overthrow
tho Radical Destructives who now rule in
Congress. They have called a Convention
to meet in Philadelphia, to which they in
vite all supporters of the President’s policy.
They recognise the Constitution as it is, and
tho rights, of tho Southern States in the
Union. The movement is endorsed by lead
ing Democrats, and with, this union of good
. elements in a 'righteous cause, there is a
prospect of sucoess.
Wo ofisorve that some of. onr exchanges
favor the sending of delegates by tho South
ern States and people to this Convention.—
, Whilst wo would, by every proper and ade
quate means, favor the party who seek to
raaintaki.tbc integrity of the Constitution
and thus secure our common -rights, wo
doubt the'propriety or policy of any presen t
party political organization in the South, or
any attempt in that way, to influence the
decision of the Northern States. Such a
movement would, we think, be powerless
for good, aqd would be used as a weapon to
defeat our friends. We can, ip many other
ways,' render efficient moral aid t6 the
friends of tho Constitution.
B3S" The New York News says the no*
gro Bureau and its workings present some
strange features and facts. This concern is
popularly believed by those who sympathize
with its presumed purposes, to be a sort of
political Abraham’s bosom for the “oppress:
-cd African” of theJSouth, and a place of re
fuge agaijist the persecution of the unmauly
whites. But it ,would appear frotp several
recent eyents that the Bureau is falling in
to disfavor, even with those whom it is sup
posed t° take care of. A freed men’s con-,
vention is to meet in Augusta, Georgia, in
July, and elections have deep held for del
egates. In Augusta two anti-Burcau dele
gates were elected. At a meeting at which
they spoke, their sentiments are thus repor
ted:
At a meeting of the colored people both
denounced tho Bureau as mischievous, and
Creative of disturbances between the races.
Urey, ore willing to trust tho laws of the
Stdtes and their old masters and-friends for
3d of July, to aid in giving burial to the
bleaching bones of tho Confederate dead
who foil nt and around Resacs; Ga. Ifthcre
is ono who will not, willingly, contribute
liis little mite in such a noble-cause, we ask
not iiis hid. Tli^o gnliant men, fell while
defending our State and lior honor, and we
call upon every man; and especially Geor
gians, bo he rich or poor, to oorno forward
and give what aid he can. -. ^ .,
We publish lelow an appeal to the citi
zens of Columbus, Ga., which we copy from
tho Columbns Euqnlrcr. The man that
would hot gjve freely after reading it,
ought to hide his face in shame. It is the
last respect that wo can bestow upon our
honored dead, and We do sincerely trust
that every- man will com© forward and ex
tend his liberality in a noble cause that con
cerns us all alike:
Some days since there appeared in the pa
pers of the State an appeal from the “Wo-,
men of Rcsaca” to the women of Georgia,
to aid them in burying the Confederate^
dead who fell before Sherman’s abolition
horde at and around that place. No res
ponse being made from this place, again
through a lady of this city a special call is
made onAColumbus from the ladies who are
devoting themselves to tins work. They
sav “the recent heavy, washing rains have
removed the few fhovels of dirt thrown
over then: by the enemy who held posses
sion of the field; and now humanity, patriot
ism and every finer feeling of our nature is
shocked by a sight of the skeleton forms of
our gallant and glorious defenders lying
bleaching upon the lull sides.” Is not that
enough to e.icit our active co-operatiou ?—
To the invading foe we .have given burial
places in cverv cemetery of the South.—
There they lie, safe frStn desecration by the
tread of beasts—though not lqvcd or honor
ed, yet for humanity’s sake “unmolested,
respected—yea, in the.very .places where
their living comrades, in search of treasure,
threw out from their graves the idolized
forms of our kiudred, tore oft" the silver
plates of their burial caskets, and commit-,
ted such other acts of vandalism, that when
history makes up the record, tho very page
upon which ’tis written will blush for shame.
Georgia’s dead are scattered on every bat
tle field from Virginia to Texas; kind hands
and liberal hearts are giving them places hi
consecrated ground. Will Georgians be
less mindful of their duty to those who have
fallen in defence of their State ? Shall the
spirits of our own beloved, gallant soldiers
plead in vain for a “grave,” only a “grave,”
for their bodies in the bosom of the land
they died defending. The enemy’s dead
are being collected and decently interred in
national cemeteries by the Government.—
We bear our part of the expense without a
murmur. “WE” have no “government” to
do that just work for “cs,” and it therefore
devolves upon ns as individuals. There is
no.time'to lose, if we would not have their
whitened bones crumble into dust, uncoffiu-
cd, unburied. The spot for til© cemetery
has been given by Maj. Green; kind and
willing hands arejrcady to superinXeud the
work and see every dollar that is sent ap
propriated to tho holy cause. No “paid
contractors,” but nolfie, self-sacrificing wo
men, and brave old men, Who have lost, all
in this mighty straggle but honor, love of
country' and its defenders. But they need
coffins and teams and laborers to accomplish
it, and-tbey call on us for help. Shall - we
hear the appeal -in vain ? Will Georgians'
not come forward and a\(l in this Christian
doty ? It is not “charity” we ask, but jus
tice. This’is a “debt”—a debt of love, of
honor we cauuot, must not repudiate. If
there be one amongst us so * lost to ' every
sense of honor ns not to have loved our
cause, and “loving dared maintain,” we ask
not bis aid. Wo would not have onr mari
tyred dead buried bv the charity of recreant
neighbors, but by their friends, comrades
and sympathizers. We then appeal to the
ladies to. move .in the matter. Lay aside
your domestic duties for a while and aid ns
at once in this work. Can you be deaf to
tho call from those bloodstained fields while
you yield such love, gratitude and reverence
to our living heroes ? You', who have been
spared your husbands, sons and Brothers,
can you be thankful mid hear the wail un
moved ? 'You; old comrades of that glo
rious band, do you hear the call ? You have
German Emigration anil tho Radicals.
The emigration of .Germans to tho South
is becoming a subject of some interest, so
much so that we perccivo tho Radical party
o^the North are already-'looking into its
future history with a view of making polit
ical capital out of it. Tlioy nro afraid it
will awell tlio Southern vote against them,
for liaving tried tta effects at the North,
they foci satisfied tho foreign clement will
lie content to cast its Iot^for good of evil,
with the spetion to which their interests
may be directly identified; They' are. not
ignorant of the fact that, by tho preponder
ance of th6 foreign and native element ^of
the South, they loose their political in-
ftuoneo In establishing those reckless
schemes whicji are objectionable to the Con
stitution and the good of t^o'wliole country.
They likewise oppose .it. “not on account of
color,” but believe it will have a tendency
to elevate the South. They back their cars
and curl tbeiv tails nf the very suggestion of
immigration among ns, and seem to detest
the idea that Germans should represent the
planting labor of the Southern States. They
frown indignantly npon the Southern' plan
ter for harboring such a thought, ■ and al
ledge that the condition of tho German im
migrant will be worse than the slaves ever
were. They have suddenly manifested a
yerv great interest in their behalf, and by a
wonderful stretch of the imagination have
arrived at .the miraculous conclusion, that
their own country is the garden spot of the
world—tho Eden and Paradise of plenty—
the very holy land for poor beggars and
famished hunger—si poverty-stricken popu-'
lation should remain at home, and not
search for a ruinous lionsc of slavery in the
green land of tlio blooming South. But the
Germans Will immigrate, aud as a remedy
for these evils we would suggest to the
Radical Rumps, to consider the propriety
of establishing'another “Bureau,” to be
styled the “German Bureau,” for the benefit,
of foreigners, and'to the disadvantage of
natives. There is as much consistency in
this as there is in the “Frecdmcn’s Bureau,”
besides it wonld afford them the means by
which they could squander the public funds
to useless purposes, which acts are so char

PRISON LIFE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Judging from the several extracts which
we find la our exchanges, this work, written
by Surgeon Craven, and just published r will
be read with deep interest not ouly by the
pcoplo of the South, but by all those who
have hry-ds to appreciate the Subject, or
hearts to sympathize witli his tnisfortunes.—
Wo make the following extract;
On the morning of the 23d of May, a yet
more bitter trial was in store for the proud
spirit—a trial more severe probably, than
has over in modern times been inflicteij
upon any one who had enjoyed such emi
nence, “This morning JdcorsQ» Davis was
shaokled.” ,
It was white ail tlie swarming camps of
the Armies of the Potomac, the "Tennessee
and Georgia—over two hundred thousand
bronzed and laurelled veterans—were pre
paring for ’the grand review of the next
morning, in which, passing in endless suc
cession before the mansion of the President,
the conquering military power of the-na-
tion was to lay down its arms nt the feet of
the civil authority, that the following scene
was enacted at Fort Monroe: ,
Captain Jerome E. Titlow, of the Third
Pennsylvania Artillery, entered the prison
er’s cell, followed by the blacksmith of the
fort and his assistant, the latter carrying ill
his hands some heavy and harshly rattimjr.
shackles; As they entered, Mr. Davis was
reclining on his bed, feverish and weary af
ter a sleepless night, the food placed near to
Kim tlio preceding day still lying untouch
ed oil its tin plate near his bedside.
■“Well! ” said Mr. Davis as they entered,
slightly raising his Kfcad.
“I have an unpleasant duty to perform,-
Sir,” eaid Captain Titlow; ami os be spoke
the senior blacksmith took the shackles ftotu
'his assistant.
Davis leaped instantly from his reenmbent
attitude, a flush passing over his face for a
moment, and then his countenance growing
livid and rigid as death.
He grasped for breath, clutching his
throat with the thin fingers of his right
band, and then recovering himself slowly,
while bis. wasted figure towered up to its
full height—now appeard to swell with in
dignation and then to shrink with terror,
as he glanced from .the captain’s face the
you tlie world will ring with ...... — = - _
Tho war is over; the South is conquered; I
have no- longer any country but America,
and it is'for the honor of America, as for my.
own honor and life, that I plead against
this degrada|ioimD r Kill mo ! kill melie
cried, passionately, throwing liis arms wide
open and exposing liis breast, “rather than
inflict on me, and ou my people through mo,
this insult worse thiln death.’.’ .
“Do'yonr duty, blacksmith,” said yio ofli-
ccr, walking toward tlio embrasure as if not
caring to witness tbb performance. “Iton-
ly gives increased pain on all sides to-prqj
"act this interview.”
At these words the blacksmith advanced
with tlie shackles, and seeing that tho priso
ner had one foot upon tl;o chair near his
bedside, his right band resting on the back
of it, the brawny 'mechanic made an attempt
to slip one ot tlio shackles over tho ankle so
raised; but, as if with tho vehemence aw}
strength which frenzy can impart, oven to
tlio weakest invalid, Mr. Davis suddenly
seized his assailant and hurled him half way
across tlie room.
On this Captain Tit low turned, aud see
ing that Mr. Davis liad backed against tho
wall for further resistance, began' to remon
strate, pointing opt in brief; clear language,
that this o.urte was madness, and that or
ders must be enforced at any ctfet. “Why
compel me,” he said, “to add the further in
dignity of personal violence to the necessity
of your being ironed J”
“I am a prisoner of war,” fiercely retort
ed Davis; “I iiavc been sc soldier in the ar
mies of America, *nl know bow to tlio —
Only kill me, and my last breath shall be
a blessing on your head. But while I have
life and strength to resist, for myself and
for ray people, the thing shall not be done.”
Hereupon.Captain Titlow called in a ser
geant and file of soldiers from the next
room, anil the sergeant advanced to seize
the prisoner. Immediately Mr. Davis flew
on him, seized the musket aud attempted to
wrench it from his grasp.
Of course sncli a sceue could have hut one
issue. There wa9 a short, passionato scuf
fle. In a moment Davis was flung upon his
bed, and before his four powerful assailants
removed their hands from him, tlie black
smith and his assistant had done their work
—one securing the rivet on tlie right ankle,
while the other turned the key on tho pad
lock on the left.
This done, Mr. Davis lav for a moment as
if in a stupor. Then slowly raising himself
and turning round, he dropped his shackled
feet to the floor. The harsh clank of the
striking chain seems first to have recalled
him to liis situation, and dropping his face
into his hands, he burst into a passionate
flood of sobbing, rocking to and fro, and
muttering at brief intervals: “ Oh, the
shame, the shame!”
It may here lie stated^ though out of ns
due order—that wo may got rid lMiasle of
an unpleasant subject—that MrDavis sonic
two months later,- when flcqurnt visits had
made him more free of converse, gave me a
curious explanation of the last feature of
this incident.
He had been speaking of suicide, and de
nouncing it as tlie worst form of cowardice
and folly. “Life is not like a commission
that wo can resign when disgusted with the
service. Taking it by your own hand is a
confession off judgment to all that your worst
enemies could allege. It has often flashed
across me as a tempting remedy for neural
gic torture; hut thank God! I never sought,
my own death but onoo, and then when
completely frenzied and not master of my
actions. When they*Came ft> iron me that

to have made use of such reckless lan
guage just at this time. Hera is the cx-

afight became imminent between the whites
and blacks. - A guard finally came nut oar-

“Such are my orders, Sir,” replied the of

“These fetters were of heavy iron; probably
