®hf Hjtauhtg fjtam. MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1868. A Saintly Altercation. Parson Boynton, says the Angusta Consti tutionalist, is the Chaplain of Congress, and so very loyal to the United States of the North, that he takes God Almighty into his confidence when making a stump prayer before the Honso of Bepresentatires. Gen. Howabd, the head of the Freedman’s Bureau, is almost as evangelical as Boynton. They both belong to the same church; they both are loyal to a degree which is almost sancti monious; they are intense haters of “rebels” and “ rebellion; ” they profess to be horrified at Southern barbarism; they have the facial lugubrionsness of Aminidab Sleek; and, alas! the belligerent sentiments of veritable Ku-Klux—Yankee Ku-Klux. Bead the fol lowing narrative from a Washington corres pondent of the Baltimore Gazette, and learn from it how even truly “ loil ” and most Christian humanitarians can abuse one an other and almost fight. The correspondent says; , (. “The difficulty in the Congregational Church of this city culminated in a personal interview between General Howard and the Bev. Dr. Boynton, pastor of the church, who casually encountered each other on the street General Howard commenced the colloquy by saying: ‘I take .this occasion to pronounce all that yon have said of me an unmitigated falsehood.’ “Dr. Boynton—‘Do you mean to call me a liar ?' “General Howard—‘I mean what I say, and pronounce your statement an unmitigated falsehood.’ “Dr. Boynton—‘Then you mean to call me a liar? ’ “General Howard—‘Yes, sir! I say that you have lied.’ “Dr. Boynton—‘If sir, you had two arms I should thrash you for insulting me.’ “ General Howard—‘Never mind my arm; try it and thrash me if you can.” “At this point the reverend gentleman turned away from the belligerent member of his congregation, and will no doubt report the facts of the interview to the mutual council, which has been summoned to con sider and settle, if possible, the unfortunate difficulties now existing in this congregation.” ► » ^ ; We concur with the World in deeming the late war “hideous and unnecessary”—but not on the part of the Union. The demand of the South that slavery should be extended, in this age of Christian light and progress, was “hideous,” and its making war on us because we would not consent to such exten sion was even more “hideous.” The war was “unnecessary,” because there was no real ex cuse for breaking up the Union or refusing obedience to its lawful authority. Never be fore .did a Christian people make war so wan-' tonly, and with so little show of plausible excuse, as the Southern States did when they seized the arsenals, armories, sub-treasuries, and most of the fortresses -of the Union throughout a third of its area, and proceeded capture (we might say kidnap) the largest portion of our little army, then guarding the frontier of Texas, and open fire for the re duction of Fort Sumter. The Union made no war—President Lincoln made none—they were assailed without a colorable, pretext, and compelled to fight for their lives. Jf the World were not traitorous at heart, the ally and tool of the defunct rebellion, it could not so grossly • misrepresent ttW matter.—New York Tribune. Politicians are very uncertain people; but we do not deem it probable, if possible, that Mr. Greeley could be the authbr of this string of perversions and untruths. Before the war began he loudly protested against the , use of force, and urged* that the Southern States should be permitted to go in peace. The following is one of the many utterances which he put forth at that time: “ If the Cotton States shall become satisfied that they can do better out of the Union than in it, we insist upon letting them go in peace. * * ' * We hope, never to live in a re public whereof one section is pinned to an other by a bayonet.” If he'does not,'his chpdrBn may live to rue the day that his advice was not followed. As to the charge that the .Confederates be gan the war; that is unworthy of Mr. Greeley and his paper. He knows that the South sent commissioners to Washington, who ex erted every means in their power for a pacific settlement and separation. These commis sioners were deluded with false hopes, and expedients were devised to gain time, that military preparations might be perfected. The authorities at Washington turned a deaf ear to all overtures and determined on war, and resorted to the poor trick of forcing the Confederates to fire the first gun, that they might have it to say that war was made upon them. This was the object of reinforcing Sumter at the very time they were pretending to be anxious for peace. “The aggressor in a rear (says Hallam) is not the first icho uses force, 6ui the first who renders force necessary." They were entrapped by their own trick— and will so stand recorded in history.—Rich- mond Whig. (urine** PHOTOGRAPHS, &C.
