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 acteristic with that party.

At a recent sitting of the Superior Court 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!
