C’nn the Country Survive it!
In the Constitutionalist of the 20th inst. we find
the following: item of news:
“Gen. Pemberton lias been assigned to active
duty.”
When Vicksburg wna surrendered to Grant, and
twenty seven thousand, (just to think of it!)
brave Southern soldiers were turned over to John
son’s Island, r.nd other northern Bastilcs, to sut-
fer, sicken, and die, away from home, friends and
Country, oh, how the Confederacy reeled and stag
gered under tho blow! That day, that aw ful 4th
of July when Pemberton opened the gates of
Vicksburg and gave his sword and soldiers to
Grant, was the darkest in the history of this War.
Where are those twenty “odd thousand men?
E'’ho answers, where? Thousands are dead—died
of cold, starvation, and man s inhumanity to man,
Some still remain in Northern prisons, and hun
dreds are suffering at home from diseases eoritrac*
ted from the rigors of a Northern climate, and
closely crowded prison accommodations. J3h,
that they could all be brought into line, just as
they died, and just as they live—those twenty
seven thousand brnies at cue w att of a magician's
wand—would you like to hear their response to
the announcement—‘‘Gen Pemberton is to be as
signed to active duty!” What a shout would
rend the Leavers! No! no!! a thousand tirce.Sj No!
would make tho welkin ring with vocal thuu-
ders.
Have we not troubles already enough, to test
the courage, fortitude and manhood of any people?
Have we not drank to tho dregs the misery of bad
Generalship? Why add lo our moutitain of woes
the torture of Pemberton? - Pemberton who gave
millions to Merchants, and mule meat to men!
Pemberton who would not listen to the advice of
Jos. E. Johnston, whereby he could have saved
an army.—Pemberton—but we sicken, we faint—
too nauseous is the draught. All we can say is:
Pemberton goes back to active duty. More vic
tims are wanted to swell the mournful procession
tinder the banner of the gaunt spectre of starva
tion, and Pemberton is the man “to rake ‘em in.”
More teais. and groans, &ud wailings of despair
are needed to swell the anthem of a Nation's
chorus on the nest 4th of July, and Pemberton
is the man to furnish the music. Our armies are
too ponderous and powerful, therefore they must
be reduced to ln’allbful proportions by purga
tion, and Pemberton is tho purging draught. Ob,
epare us this last, cruellest, unkindest cut of ail
Give us anybody else, but for God's and the coun
try’s sake ke-. p Pemberton's sword in its scab

of the port of Wilmington, and the end of block

will go a great ways to abate the evil to which we
have just referred. The luxurious*iivers, and the
admirers of costly dresses, must get ready for the
change of times and circnmstauces. Tho idols
they have so long worshipped must be upset, and
nobler ones substituted in their hearts and their

If we are whipped—if the Southern Confederacy
must yield to the superior prowess of the Yankees,
then the heads of the Confederate Government will
have to shoulder a great responsibility. If :be autliori
ties at Richmond are our masters are they nut respon
sible formilitary results, be they good or be they bad ?
WemakS all due allowance for the errors of judgment,
but we do not, and will not make allowance for errors,
committed without cause and forewarned. Lias Presi
dent Davis and Secretary .Seddon control of the troops
in the Trans-Mississippi department? Of course they
have. Then why lias the thirty or fur v thousand
troops under Kirby Smith. We.-t of ti e Mississippi, been
pemitted to remain in idleness, while the very life of
the Con ederaey was in danger? Is it replied, that
Missouri was t - . be invaded? Suppose it true. Mis
souri was invade*! by General Price, but did he even
relieve Arkansas ? No : a hostile Army still rests at Lit
tle Rock. But when Price got back to Arkansas,
why was his force permitted to go into Winter quarters,
when the Yankee force that had driven him out of
Missouri was permitted to march round by St. Louis
and Louisville, and join Thomas just in time to meet
Hood and keep him out of Nashville ? Will not the
Traus-Mississippi troops fight East of the Mis
sissippi, for tiie whole Confederacy ? Are Richmond,
Wilmington, Savannah. Charleston and Mobile, noth
ing to the Trans-Mississippi troops? If not, then in
the name of God, justice and humanity, what is this
War carried on lor ? Has the President or the Seen-'
tnrv of War ever ordered the Trans-Mississippi troops
East of that river ? We ask and demand to know if
any such order 1ms ever been given. We have dili
gently asked for this information and have never re
ceived an answer. We make it again: We demand
to know the reason why the Trans-Mis.-issippi Army
was permitted to rest in “inglorious ease,” after Banks
was defeated, when Sherman was drawing from the
Federal forces, on that side of the river, to push John
son back to Atlanta. It was reported, and we have
never seen it denied, that the Confederate troops West
of the Mississippi, refused to cross to the East of that
river. Then who is to blame ? Is Kirby Smith ?—
If so, all riirht. Ifwwknow oar hearts we would be n
thousand times obliged to know that the blame could
be fixed on any cue .Military leader in the Confederacy.
But it is not so. The President and Secretary of War
had full and fiee communication with Kirby Smith for
months after the defeat of Barks. They knew the
situation and tin y had full power to-order his victorious
and idle troops to the East of the river. They preferred
to scdu a marauding party into Missouri. They did so;
and what is the result ? Missouri, which was over
run bv Price, has just voted to abolish Slavery by GO
to 1; and Price has retired to the Indian nation, to go
into winter quarters, where nobody will disturb him,
if he stays there a thousand years. Price with 30,0<>Q
mm returns to the Western borders of the Confederacy
and stacks his arms while the very heart and soul of the
Confederacy is threatened by the most formidable ar
mies the Federals have ever had in the field. Now,
we ask every sensible rqan who reads our paper, if
somebody is not to blame ? Who is it ? It is the same
authority that kept Bragg in command until Tennessee
was lost It is the same authority that kept Pember
ton in Vicksburg until the place and 27,00(1 Confederate
soldiers were lost to the cause. It is the same authori
ty that kept Forrest in Mississippi while the heart of
the Confederacy was being pierced through Georgia.
It is the same authority that removed Gen. Johnston
from the command of the Army of Tennessee, arid
i turned it over to G.-n. Hood, who, while a brave and
gallant man, butchered it around Atlanta and at Nash
ville. It is the . line authority that, to-day, permits
Kirby Smith to remain idle while Sherman and Thomas
are gathering their hosts to march on Richmondtry a
movement in the rear. »
AVe dislike to be tedious. We seldom write lengthy
articles: but we ask the forbearance of ofir readers, for
the sake of the caui-e. Official mismanagement has
caused all our woes. "We do not miscalculate the good
: that has b*-cn done ; nor are we so exacting as to de-
I maud results which eoalu not, by any use of means at
hand, be prevented. But wc do fay, while forgiving
and forgeting errors that are incident to human f.ue-
eignt, the heads of this Government have stepped into
errors again and again which have been plainly point
ed out to them. They have trusted the forbearance
of the people until forbearance lias ceased to be a
virtue. If President Davie and tire Secretary of War,

people are very much interested in the present
state of affairs. Their honor,their property, their
liberty, the very existence of themselves and fam
ilies are at stake, and is it wonderful that they
should desire to look into their own affairs, and
see how those servants to whom they have com
mitted such important trusts, hive managed
them ? Ah ! there is the rub. These servants
of the people do not appear willing to give an
account of their stewardship. They say tvery
j thing is going on well. Why should the people
j trouble themselves about their affairs ? Those
I who manage for them know what is b- st lor them,

j YVe hear none talk of deserting tho great and
! glorious cause iir which we are embarked, but only
i of correcting abuses, and giving a new direction
to tilings that are going wrong. And who are tin
men that would deny the people the right of look
ing into their own affairs ? Are they not most oi
them men who have comfortable offices under the
Administration, where free from danger, they ftp
gathering up large fortunes out of the suffering
people ? Tires, men fear the people, and web
they may : they do not want the books overhaul

j stewardship, for fear they may no longer be per-
| initted to be steward. They want things to. rock
I cn. they are doing well enough, but the people
! have begun to find them out, and hence they b-ar
! the people. We have not urged a convention ot
the people, because we could not see how such a
convention could assist us iu prosecuting the
war in which we are engaged, to an honorable
issue ; and to do that, we were willing to suffer
and forbear as loDg as suffering would do any
good. But if the people want a convention, it is
their right and their privilege, and we are -pot
tj be unworthy, exalted to places of high posi
tion,.whilst the honest and worthy are cast down
and thrown out of employment, they can not help
ice!ing discouraged. But we reiterate, there is no
tisioyalty to the c»use among the people. -If
they could only feel assured that the resources o’
men and money put into the hands of the
Administration, would not be squandered or
thrown away upou unworthy favorites, but would
be used to carry on the war successfully, there is
no honorable sacrifice they would not be rea-^y
to make. The people of Georgia who have been
robbed, and insulted, and ruinnd hy the enemy,
could bear it all with fortitude, if they knew that
hy their suffering. th**y had procured any bentfi f

A largo meeting of the citizens of Baldwin
County was held at the Council Chamber, on Sat-
of slaverj*, then the people should be heard in
convention, before any such bargr.in is-made : for
neither tl e President, nor Congress, nor both to
gether, have any right or power to abolish slavery
without the consent of the people. But why
should the Administration Journals entertain
such great jealousy and distrust of the people ?
They are certainly as capable of judging of their
own interest, as these men are to judge for them :

BlorJiade Funning.—While blockade running
ha» contributed materially to our means of defence,
and towards clothing oar soldiers, it has not been
a good unnnxed with evil, says the Macon ‘Tele
graph;'* but f-r that it is very doub'fr.l whether
our currency would have reached present depre
ciation. to which we .earnestly believe it is mainly
attributable. Many of the goods, though preten
ded to have been imported from Eqrope, were in
leaiity irom Yaukeedom; and trading with our en-
mics, readily enabled thorn to put the value upon
our currency—the great depreciation of w hich
has dampened the ardor and depress! d tho spirits
of many au undoubted patriot.
There is another view of the subject which the -
writer of the above paragraph failed to consider.
It is this: With the exception of the goods brought
through for the Government, almost every other
article imported has been a luxury. Men who
have speculated and grown rich by extortion, are
tho only ones who could buy these luxuries, ex-
cept, perhaps. Government officers whose pecu
lations lravo put money iu their purses, at the peo
ple's expense. The good and true men of the
Country have made every sacrifice demanded of
ihem by the emergency. They deny themselves
alt the luxuries while their neighbors boast, public
ly that every day they enjoy them as fully a ’ n d free-
ly as they did before the V. T ar. YVe have only to look
around us. to see that there is no equality of sac
rifice, no equality of sufferiug k for the cause, and
on account of the cause. This state of things
begets dissatisfaction, and leads to murmuring,
and to despondency deeper than the surface. If
the people, then all is lost. Magicians and necro
mancers may deceive the people n r a while, but the
stem truth that they are deceived will still remain.
YVe may be asked, what is o.tr remedy ? YVe reply.use
the forces of the Confederate Government with judg
ment. Don't plaster the toes, nnd rub the fingers with
stimulants, when the heart is “beating funeral marches
to tbc Ajrave.” YVukc- up. Concentrate the forces
while yet they can be concentrated. And, oh, for
God's sake, don't wait until the Chattahoochee, the
Alabama and the Savannah Rivers, shall be placed as
a barrier between Richmond and the Cotton States.
If we can'f whip every Y'ankec force wherever it
comes agairst'ns, let ustnke them one at a time. Just
now Richmond is in danger. Hurry rp the men East
nnd YY’est, North and South, and put. them after
Sherman. If this is nut done, lot somebody else kill
the next Percy.

400, said to be under the command of Gatewood
and Tom Polk Edmonson. They captured 800

all the guard. Gen. Meagher who commands at
Chattanooga sent a force aft r the raiders but
they had got off and carried their plunder with

anu suggests that if the Chamber desires
to act independently of him, it can do so
by sending its contributions to Gen: Geary.
The case seetns to be this: I he citizens
of Savannah are too proud to beg, and yet
will accept charity. They do not wish to
starve, and wo are able to buy what they
want, althought It will be at the Sacrifice
of one description of needful food for oth

“high strung” in his scuthnents It is al
most time for him to get over that, and to
cease to bo sensitive as to wlrat is said about
Iris “mission.” For the sake of tbe needy
people whom he represents it would be

the representative of Southern -pride, but

the groat body of our people have to sustain this
war. And they are not weary of well doing;
they are not disaffected, but they sometimes be
come discouraged when they see all of their efforts
thivarted, and all of their sacrifices thrown away
and of no avail, by the mismanagement of those
in authority. YVheu men reflect, they remember
that Y r icksburg and twenty-seven thousand bravo
men were sacrificed by the appointment of Pem
berton to command that important post. A man
in w hom no one but tire Tres’ident had any con
fidence, and now we hear that this man Fetaber-
ton is restored to Iris command, whi’et Joseph
E. Johnrton ia left in retirement, and bis sword
rusts in its scabbard. This dossier at Y’ickshurg
was tho entering wedge of all our misfortunes?
and this was caused by the President s partial
ity in putting forward a favorite but incompetent
ofitcer.and keeping a good one in the back ground
YVodo not charge tire President with bad motives:
he probably bas done what he thought was best,
but he certaily must be a poor judge of military
men. His favorites, to say the least, have been
very unlucky. Witness Pemberton, Bragg arid
Hood, whilst those Generals who do not enjoy
his confidence, have generally ’been successful
and eDjoy the unlimited confidence of the people.
