All communications on.every business connected with the Daily Prkss, must be addressed to the Proprietor, E. H. Pughe, Augusta, 6a. 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 ! Novtssimuk. Notice. £53. «.
