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.” REMOVAL.
