Our.country cotemporaries will con

A CARD.
To the Confederate Officers who were
Under Fire On Morris Island, South
Carolina.
I have waited anxiously, for more
than a year, to see a publication from
the pen of one of my intelligent and pa
triotic comrades who were sent, on the
20th of September, 1864, from Fort Del
aware to Morris Island, to remain there,
subject tb the command of Major Gen.
Foster, United States Army.
t Nothing having been heard from any
one of the number up to this time, I
begin to (ear our treatment while there
may never be made public.
Believing, as I do, that it is due to
truth, justice, accurate history, and to
the people of our common country, that
all the facts of.importauce connected
with great questions, which have been
agitated during and since the termina
tion of the war, should be made known;
and believing, moreover, that it is the
duty of individuals to disseminate what
ever information they may possess, so
that when the hour of passion and fa
naticism has passed, and men begin to
seek the truth with calmness and delib
eration, they niay have correct data
upon which to base their opinions ; and
having been requested belore our sepa
ration, by many of those whose expe
rience it is tny purpose to record, so to
do, I have, with considerable hesitation,
determined to undertake the execution
of it.
In order that my statements may be
accurate, I shall need some assistance.
Not having kept a diary, much of the
minutim ol what occurred has escaped
iny memory. The object of this card is
to ask that all those of our number-who
may have their attention called to it,
will, at their earliest convenience, write
out and send to me a copy of the treat
ment to which they were subjected
whilst at Hilton Head, Morris Island,
and Fort Pulaski.
My address is Charlottesville, Va.
James McD. Carrington.
The President Before the People,
The tremendous ovations which greet
the President at every point upon his
route attest the estimation in which he
is held by the people; and show the
drift of the popular current. It is a
glorious sign in the political heavens,
and points unmistakably to an early ad
justment of our national difficulties. It
will be seen by his speeches that he is
pressing his peculiar views with great
power upon the people, and that he
merely dissects the Radical policy on all
occasions. He makes the restoration of
the Union, and the re-establishment of
harmony and good feeling, the theme of
all his speeches. The Jacobins are cry
ing under these inflictions, and well they
may, for he demolishes a host of foes at
every blow ; and before be gets back to
Washington he will have torn such
chasms in their ranks as will place them
beyond repair. Upon the stump, before
the people, he has always shown himself
unconquerable, and he will not be de
feated now. He is carrying the war
which the Radicals forced upon him iuto
their own camp, and ho will show them
that they have a lion in their path.
They have ridiculed and assailed “my
policy,” hut it has been taken up by the
people, and under his fearless lead it
will be carried to a successful conclu
sion. So says that excellent journal, the
Louisville Courier.
GRANITE
Beast Buti.ek Moria Beast Than
Ever. —The Beast made a speech in
Massachusetts, recently, in the course
of which be gave it as his opinion that
the high spirit of the people of the
South could be broken, provided the
proper measures were adopted, and car
ried iuto effect by the proper persona.
The annexed extract from his speech,
contains the reason for his belief:
I am going to speak of a matter
which is a trait in the society of »he
South, and also why they are so easily
governed. We hear it said every day
that they are high spirited people and
ought to be conciliated ; but this struck
roe as a distinguished trait—that having
for about twenty years of my life been
in the practice of criminal law, I have
seen husbands pleading for their wives,
lathers for children, and children for
parents, but I never saw mortal kneel
to mortal. Yet, when I was in New
Orleans, it was an every day occurrence
that women, splendidly dressed in silks
and satins, would come into my office
and ask for favors on tlieir bended
knees. The cause, I suppose, was that,
having always been accustomed to ex
act obedience, and to have favors asked
upon the knees, when their positions
became changed, and new masters ap
peared, they assumed the position they
had once taught as proper. And there
fore, I say, talk not to me that those
people can not be subdued.
The Baltimore Gazette, in comment
ing on the extract, speaks thus elo
quently : “He has no doubt looked upon
more than one woman kneeling at his
feet. And to any man whose heart was
human, what a story would that picture
have told I What more could have been
needed to enable him to fathom the
depth of the humiliation in which the
suppliant had brought herself to plunge,
to guage the intensity of the agony and
fear that maddened her, and to measure
the boundless tenderness and love of the
hearts that could submit to sue so
humbly for the sake of others 1 What
could have been added to the scene that
would have told him more plainly that
he must be a brute and tyrant who could
bring woman to a pass like that 1 How
could they have said more frankly that
they knew his rain and savage nature
could only be mollified by their abase
ment, and that, for the sake of those
they loved, they had consented to the
painful sacrifice ! No man who did not
disgrace the name and uniform of a
soldier would have been apt to witness
such a spectacle more than once. Any
man who was not a living dishonor even
to the mother that bore him, would have
been touched with pity. But this man
glories in the thought that be has brought
women to their knees. He gloated over
the sight at the time, and he revels in
the recollection of it now.”
