EDITORIAL NOTES.
The defense of the south by
Henry Grady in the Atlanta Consti
tution of last Sunday, in reply to the
attack of Senator Ingalls is as man
ly as it is vigorous.and decisive. The
people of the south differed as to the
expedency of secession, butjwhen the
first gun was fired the cause of the
confederacy became the cause of all
But while we honor the heroes who
battled for our rights and will ever
contend that our cause was just, we
are glad that the uuio^Jras been pre
served and we concede to no section
greater loyalty to its flag.
