• Aug. 23d, 1S63. )
Dear Father: This is the Sab,bath, and.
I do not know how I can better employ a
portion of it,than by acknowledging tbc re
ceipt of your kind letter of the 2nd inst.,
wlijcli L received a week since, and read
with sincere pleasure. It was the first 1
Lad heard from any of you, for more than
two months. I am glad of my ability to
inform you of my excellent health, and
nmst sincercly^vish this may find yourself
and the family, also, well.
1 have very little in thdNvay of war news
to give you. Mead has withdrawn his main
annv back to the north side of the upper
Rappahannock, and as Gen’l Lee has not
made any effort to follow him, but on the
contrary is granting a limited number ol J
furloughs, tbc prevailing impression is, ad-
verse to an early' conflict of arms. 1 lie j
Northern papers infoim us that Mead lias
M iit twenty thousand of bis army to the!
N'urth, principally to New York, to enforces
the draft and to . collect and forward con-*
scripts. I am inclined to think Mead will
act strictly on the defensive, until bis army
is largely' recruited, and if be waits to col
lect and drill the new levies, and Gen’l
Lee chooses to let him alone, we may have
a long season of inaction. I should be
glad to see such a state of quiet in this ar-
mv, unless, indeed, we could, by attacking,
rout the Federal army' and drive them
Lack on Washington before be has tiirfe to
recruit. We have nothing to lose by in
action.
We are gathering strength every day
Lv the return of deserters, and the volun
tary enlistments of men from 40 to 4-3 years,
besides, 1 am well satisfied, it the exam
ples of all history are true, that time will
Lave to settle this ditficulty. Of course,
more or less fighting bad to be done and
’■' ill vet have to be done, but to act strictly
on the defensive and avoid unncccessaiy j
effusion of blood, will enable us to offer a |
much more protracted and succcssiul re- J
sistance. But I am very averse to that
modtfof defensive resistance that continu
ally retires at tlie approach of the enemy.
It is tlKily gratifying to read such a let
ter as yours. You understand and appro
bate the difficulties of our situation, and
are still hopeful of the final issue vciy
far different in tone and spirit, are most of
tlie letters that reach the army’ from home.
Most of them are despoudent, and a gicut
many speak of success, as not at all proba
ble. Such a course Is calculated to do our
cause infinite injury. It encourages the en-
emy.wbileit discourages our own soldiciy.
To doubt our final success is bad enough ;
t i publicly express such doubt is Treason
t) the cause, because it gives “ aid and
comlort” to the enemy’, and goes-furtlier to
whip our armies than the Federal legions.
L is passing strange that the people at
L unc, are whipped before the soldiers.
■ Ley, who have endured all, suffered all,
(| f hardships, privations, battles &c,at least
so far as this army is concerned, are just
■n hopeful of the result as they were the
'-ay they left their homes and array’ed
themselves under the Confederate Hag.
1 his is in strange contrast with those who
hive suffered none of these, and yet are
"hipped. The Blockaders and craven ex
tortioners have done as much tor our de
ltas Yankee bayonets, but cannot do as
inueli as the moral dou'btings of our honest
farming class of citizens. It is true wc.
have met with reverses, but not sucb aj>
s tmuld discourage a people who deserve to
he free. The loss of Tort Hudson and
^ icksfiurg will never result as much to the
Lss of the Confederacy as lias the fall of
f °rt Donelson, which was tho key to
* ennessee. The Mississippi river will nev-
be worth a farthing to Northern com
merce, for ten years, if this war should cou-
thine so long. On the west hank we have
garrison them, while we can prevent incur
sions into the interior with much smaller
forces, than now takes to defend them.
Besides, it will dry r up the source of our
greatest evil—“ blockading.” But admit
them to ho serious disasters—they, with
children. Not in the simmering still, over smoky
tires choked with poisonous gases, surrounded
with the steneli of sickening odors and corruptions
doth your Father in Heaven prepare the essence
of life—tlie pure cold water; hut in the green
gladq and grassy dell, where the red deer wan
ders, and the child loves to play, there God brews
it; and down in the deepest valleys where the
fountain murmurs and the rills sing, and high up-
other greater ones will not dishearten this | on the mountain tops, where the naked granite
army’, but the doubting and misgivings of
those who raise us bread, will discourage
us, and if such would only’ reflect, what a
power for woe such thoughts exert, they
would, i( they are good patriots,banish such
unmanly fears.
I am as hopeful as any one. I nave ever

-Y Northern Opinon ofGrn. I,cr.
The New York Metropolitan Record, copying
the celebrated proclamation of Gen. Lee. issued
to his army from Chambersburg, l J a., Juno 27tli.
pays that officer the highest compliment that
could be bestowed upon a brave and Christian
commander. It declares that Gen. Lee had every
temptation to retaliation upon the non-comba
tants of Pennsylvania which burning cities, the
thricks of helpless fugitives, and the shouts of
Montgomery’s pursuing demons in his own land
could offer, and the world would pronounce that
the North bad merited it by the vandalism of its
own armies in the South. But “Gen. Lee has
disdained to copy after so foul a model, or to com
pete with Butler, aud such as he, in the struggle
for undying infamy. In doiug so, “he lias gain
ed the noblest victory the Confederates have
won from us—the vitcory they have achieved on
our own soil, aud more damaging to our reputa
tion than any gained by them from Bull Run to
Chancellorsville.” * » # “Gen. Lee
has (in this) done more for his own fame and his
country’s glory than by all bis military achieve
ments:’’
The Record continues;
He knew that Jackson bad been given to the
flames, and Darien laid in ashes; he knew that
Southern towns bad been shelled without being
called upon to surrender, and Southern planta
tions levelled in very wontonness—and yet no
answering flames flung their fiery glare upon
the Peiiusylvania' sky; no emolative wrecks cum
bered, with their unsightly masses, Pennsylvania
soil, and no unheralded shells carrying death
within it, fell bursting amid the maids and mat
rons, the old men and blooming children of Penn
sylvania. Before you endeavor to undertake the
magnanimity of this conduct, ask yourself. O rea
der, could you, under like circumstances, have
acted in like manner. Could you have turned
from the blighted fields of your devastated sec
tion and left the fruitful, smiling valleys of the
South uninjured. The man that could, can un
derstand the noble conduct of Gen. Lee; tbe
man that could not can at least admire it.
Who could blame the Confederate commander
if, with these remembrances rankling in his mind,
lie bad yielded something to the temper of his
troops aud the weakness of human nature? Cer
tainly not we. Gen. Lee could have taken terri
ble revenge for all the excesses committed by Fed
eral soldiers, and we were debarred by our own
conduct from appealing to the public opinion of
the nations. He would havo been justified by
the laws of war in retaliating. Humanity is bis
debtor for having forborne to do so. God forbid
the time should ever come when the North will
be insensible to the magnamity of such conduct
that will do more for Lee’s glory than if he had
overrun the North from the l’otomac to the Lakes.
He has “crushed out” retaliation, he has made
it impossible lor any Union officer who does not
desire tojbe consigned to eternal infamy to do as i
Montgomery and others of that stripe hive done. TATI LLhesold the first uesday n

Atlanta, September Kith, 1663.
Kilitors Southern Confederacy:
I notice in a late issue of your paper a card
from Col, J. S. Thrasher correcting an impression
which has gotten out, that he was supporting Mr.
Hill for Governor. He says that lie presumes the
eiror arose from the confoutidiug of his name with
that of my own, as I was one of the persons who
addressed Mr. H. on the subject of his candidacy.
I only wish to state that after Mr. Hill was an
nounced ns a candidate, I with others called on
him for his views on points of vital importance,
and had not supposed the mere act of calling foe
bis views would be considered as a committal to
bis policy. His views not being satisfactory to
me. I am under no obligation to support him in the
approaching election.
Respectfully,
J. J. Thrasher.
