LETTER FROM DIXIE.
NO 11.
Dear Press :—ln other days, we were
accustomed to what we called, in our
ignorance, diplomatic statesmanship. It
was considered wise to be as dark and
oracular, as the sayings of any tripod
mounted hag, under the intoxications of
Delphie miasma. Dullness passed for
depth, and stupidity was deemed pro
found, and the course of many of those
in power was like that of the snake—
“ That wobbled in and wobbled out,
Leaving the looker on in doubt,
Whether the snake that made track,
Was going South or coming back.”
But when the Nation’s oracles spoke,
on the birthday of the Father of his
Country, and at other times, *“ He who
ran might read, and wayfaring men,”
though like Sumner, Stevens, Wilson or
Philips, “Ne'ed not err therein.”
President Johnston says he is opposed
to the Davis, Toombs and Slidell school
of politicians ; aud when he said it, a
voice called for three names from the
list of those whom he branded as “ still
opposed to the Union.'' He replied,
“Suppose I name to you those whom I
look upon as being opposed to the fun
damental principles of the Government,
and as now laboring to destroy them. I
say Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylvania ;
I say Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts;
I sav Wendell Philips, of Massacha
setts I”
Again he says, when speaking of the
threats of his foes and ours, to destroy
him politically, and perhaps prepare for
him the fate of Lincoln, “If my blood is
to be shed because I vindicate the Union
and the preservation of this Government
in its original purity and character, let
it be so; but when it is done, let an altar
of the erected, and then, if
necessary, lay me upon it, and the blood
that now warms and animates mv frame
shall be poured out in a last libation as
a tribute to the Uuion. And let the
opponents of the Government remember
that when it is poured out, the blood of
the martyr will be the seed of the Church.
The Union will growl”
He says that Mr. Lincoln told him, “Y
have been subjected to calumny and
misrepresentations, and my great and
sole desire has been to preserve these
States intact under the Constitution as
they were before : and there should be an
amendment to the Constitution which
would compel the States to send their
Senators and Representatives to the Con
gress of the United States.”
Again he represents the foes of the
Constitution and the Union as saying to
us, “No, you must pay taxes, but you
cannot participate in a government
which is to affect you for all time,” and
asks, “Is this just?” and heard, like the
voice of many waters, or when the Lord
thundereth, that vast crowd answer,
“ No!”
Andrew Johnson stands to-day upon
the assailed w r alls of the Constitution, as
the champion of human liberty and
Southern rights. Thank God, that he
grasps the sceptre of the Supreme civil
power in that untrembling hand, while
his left holds in reserve, the army and
navy of the United States. Should the
crusade of 1866, need volunteers, the
veterans of Lee, Beauregard and John
ston would be potent aids to the army of
the Constitution.
Wm. H. Seward, of New York, the
man of shrewd policy and thinking
brain, the Richelieu of the Western
world—he is with Johnson. General
Grant, who refused the sword of Lee—he
is with Johnson. General Sherman,
who at Greensborough, N. C., called us
“fellow countrymen," in his treaty of
peace with Joseph E. Johnston, he is
with our champion.
Then what hurt have our real foes
done I Abolished slavery ? That but
gives us cheaper labor; for the food,
clothing and medicine and care of aged
slaves and of children, has always made
Southern slavery the highest paid system
of labor on the earth. Kept us from
Congress? While they stay there, we
envy not the hatred trodden floor, nor
the negro haunted galleries.
Let them like Tam. O’Shanter’s wife,
“ Gather their brows like the gathering
storm.
And nurse up their wrath to keep itwarm.”
Let them try to make “Rome howl,”
only to find no answer but echo. And
when the worst is done, and they, like
Judas Iscariot, “burst asunder in the
midst,” from exploded venom, we will
do honor to that patriotism which loved
New England, “not wisely but too well,”
aud copy for their epitaph the thrilling
words:
“The thunders roared! The lightning
flashed !
.And granny’s teapot went to smash !”
Poor fellows, the chimes of the Union
will be their “passing bell,” and their
dirge, that awful monotone, “where the
wavfes of dark damnation break, and
music make of melancholy sort.” We
commend to them the “service for the
dying.”
But to talk on another and better
theme, let me tell you that, while away
off in this wooden world, with “a lodge
in some vast wilderness (of pine and
broom-sage) and boundless contiguity of
shadel have missed the Opera and the
Concerts. The Italian Ido not under
stand, and (except Norma and the “An.
vil Chorus” of II Trovatoref) do not
feel bad at the loss.
But I should have liked to hear Miss
Mina Geary and Gustavus ditto, with
our friends of the past war time, the
Queen Sisters. The progromme told of
“Wandering in the May Time,” by the
Misses Laura and Fanny. Thought
wanders after them, without waiting for
May. “Beware she is fooling thee,” is
a very sensible warning in regard to the
lady with the sweet name of Mina. It
is a favorite name with us, especially
when spelled with another “n.” Then
“Sweet Love, Good-Night,” by Mr. G.
Geary, was probably inspired. Little
Julia sang, “Mother, Oh, Sing me to
Sleep,” and no one knows the power of
that sweet word, Mother , better than the
child who sang.
“ ’Tis but a Little Faded Flower,”
did not suit Miss Laura, for she, in ex
panding womanhood, like the stars of
morning, will only he lost and merged
into the perfect day. “The Vesper
Star” was probably a misprint, as the
programme speaks of two of them.
Living heroes should thank her who
sang of “The Soldier’s Grave,” and
little Julia was probably bragging a
little when she sang of “Brightest Eyes.”
We all know that, Julia.
The last song we see mentioned, was
“Admission, One Dollar.”
You see, dear Press, that I am “cloy
ing the edge of appetite with bare imag
ination of a feast,” and soothing my
exile from “Home, sweet Home," with
paper echoes of things “that are for
others.”
I learn that the Queen Sisters will
visit other places. If so, all who have
known and loved the children,
“Send blessings on their way.”
Press, are you tired ? lam !
