Notss on the Situation—No- 9
- -■ r " bv b. u. mi.l..
The time lias not come to write
Confederate history. Passions con
-,rol men. Falsehood and slander are
jaore acceptable than truth, to the
spirit of revenge. Truth would shame
revenge, but falsehood gratifies it.
Besides, the most important confeder
ate archieves containing the reason,
the philosophy, the explanations of
confederate action, and history and
motives, are not accessible, ft may
be proper to add 1 do not know where
they are. They have not come to
light, and it were well for some who
seem to be in high favor with them
selves and the deluded people il they
never do come to light. lam no sad
drtfcce, and however the wicked
flourish now, I have firm faith in the
resurrection of the. just.
But many will write. Confederate
histories, biographies, memories, rec
ollections, &c., &c., Ac., are get
ting to be plenty as blackberries in
June, but not half so valuable. 1
have tried to keep up with those pre
mature births, but find It difficult. I
have seen enough to know that nearly
all of these books are written either
by or under the immediate supervis
ion of those who were chiefly intent
during the struggle in making war
on the Confederate administration.
They were, therefore, excluded or ex
cluded themselves from the Confeder
ate councils, and really know less than
most people ; and the little they do
know, or think they know, they re
ceived through a very jaundiced medi
um, which gave it horrid colors.- —
Some of them seem, at last, to be dis
covering, what unselfish patriots, al
ways knew,that, in making war upon,
and in breaking down the people’s
confidence in the Confederate admin
istration, so unjustly and so falsely
too, they made war upon and broke
down the Confederate cause. They
fear the world will find this out. —
Conscience being thus troubled and
reputation iu danger, they become
restless and cannot wait, They rush
forward, like most criminals, to justify
before they arc finally accused. Oth
ers write to get pay, and to say any
thing to fill a book. lienee these
works are generally self-vindications,
or self-eulogies, or miserable libels
and perversions, and are not only un
worthy of credit, but should be held
as insults to an unfortunate but gal
lant people. General Early’s book is
an exception. He writes of what he
saw and did, and writes like a patriot.
His works will be valuable to tiie his
torians hereafter. There may be a
.few other exceptions, but I do not now
think of them. Some others of like
character are said to be preparing,
which L hope will appear.
But the f’earcest storms exhaust
themselves, and so will even ibis storm
of the American passions. Revenge
cannot always rule. The full truth
will appear and impartial history will
be written. In that day, I venture
now to say, no fact will be brought out
more clearly than this : The Confeder
ates were not conquered by either tiie
skill, or tire power, or the numbers of
their armed enemies. The Confeder
acy was crushed by ideas, and not by
bayonets. And the ideas were very
few —indeed may all he embraced in
two; and neither had the slightest
foundation in truth. They were born
of treachery and disappointment, and
nurtured by those worse than Gorgon
whelps—ambition, selfishness and re
venge.
Here are the ideas :
1. That the Confederate Government
had become or would become a perma
nent military despotism.
2. That our people had but to lay
down their arms, and they would be
restored, at once to their rights in the
Union.
There were several considerations
which make our people peculiarly
liable to be entrapped into believing
the ideas. In the first place, the mass
es of the Southern people really loved
the Union according to the Constitu
tion. In truth, they were the most
faithful and devoted friends that
Union ever had, or, 1 fear, ever will
have again. It required many years
of slander, and intermeddling and
threatened aggressions and bad faith
on the part of Northern extremists,
and of importunity and fiery exhorta
tion by the Southern extremists to
make the masses of our people enter
tain the idea that their rights were
not safe in the Union. And, when
finally they did consent to leave the
Union, the great actuating motion in
going was to save the guarantees and
principles of the Constitution, which
they were persuaded could not be
preserved by remaining in the L nion.
And they were assured by the extrem
ists, North, and South, they coidd go
peaceably.
Again: While many of our intelli
gent men and counsellors, were actu
ated with sincere convictions, and did
honestly believe a division must come
sooneT or later, and that the sooner it
came the better for all sides ; yet,
there were others who had far other
motives. These did not act from con
victions, but from desires. Therefore,
they were very noisy and clamorous
They abused everything in the North,
and denounced as traitors and sub
missionisis and cowards those ot our
people who did not believe the Union
ought tof be dissolved tor existing
causes, of could be dissolved at all
peaceably. As light things rise when
the air is stirred, so in the excitement
of passions then men became the
favorites. They expected to be blund
ers of anew government, and go down
to posterity as the Washingtons and
Jetlt i sons of a Republic,
But the war chine and that portion
of the masses who were most anxious
to secede, were disappointed. Secess
ion was to be peaceable.
!'o the high offices in the new gov
ernment were filled, and alas ! how
many of the noisy and self-sufficient
were disappointed ? Republics were
ungrateful, and the people strangely
thought it. was necessary to select
considerate men to make \N asliing
tons !
A.s the war progressed, hardships
increased. Those hardships caused
some to go unwilling, and the Confed
erate Government was driven as
have been all people who go to war,
to employ harsh measures to make
the unwilling do their duty, ’t hese
harsh measures required agents, and
agents, as agents often do, became
exacting and oppressive. These harsh
measures were seized upon by the dis
appointed politicians, and used as
pretexts to make the people believe
their government intended to establish
a military despotism. In the mean
time- speculation became riotous ; the
example being set by some in high
places, others also thought it no harm
to use these “God given talents to
make money ” -These evils multiplied
the necessities for harsh measures to
support the army, and the harsh meas
ures increased tiie noise of the poli
ticians and the consequent demorali
zation of the people.
While this internal treachery was
doing its work, the United States, in
every form, and by every department:
of their government, were assuring
our people that they had seceded tin
der a mistake ; that their rights were
secure in the Union ; that they had
no purpose in prosecuting thewarbut
to preserve the Union unimpaired ;
and that indeed our seats were vacant
in both Houses of Congress, and we
and that we had nothing to do but to
send members to fill them. Emissa
ries came from the North under pre
tence of being driven here ns Southern
sympathisers, and joined our malcon
tents to disseminate these two ideas.
Treachery became bold and desertion
became respectable.
In this way the masses of the
Southern people were conquered, and
the remnant of patriots were overpow
ered.
The actual statistics show that du
ring the two last years of the war, for
every one of our soldiers whom the
external armed enemy killed, disabled
or captured, the internal unarmed
enemy induced three, to desert. And
this work went on, too, in the face of
the fact that General Grant’s own
policy for defeating General Lee was
in wearing out his army ; and also in
the face of the fact that Mr. Lincoln,
in his last annual message, declared
the hope of suppressing the rebellion
consisted in the abandonment, by the
Southern people, of their President or
chief.
Therefore, T affirm, the treachery
within was thrice as strong as the
power without in subduing the Con
federates.
Thus some of those who were most
active in destroying the Union, were
also most active in destroying the
Con fed"- ", And these arc now the
favorite :e “rtut.h with tiie Radic
als <>l tin- North. They mo received
•into the counsels at Washington ; and
they are cheek by jowl with Wil
son and Suother and Stevens in t heir
efforts to destroy the Constitution.
Men, whom 1 know made bitter se
cession speeches, have been travelling
through the North proclaiming their
sufferings as “persecuted loyalists I ;’'
and having roused their fragment
ary conclave of a Congress to
secure measures to disfranchise those
whom they-denounced as traitors, 1 -
cause they opposed secession, in order
that they may get the offices of these
States as rewards for their “devotion j
to the Union !’’ And the poor delu
ded Southern people are thus bespat
tered with their own filth !
These facts suggest several points
which deserve the most serious con-
sidera'ion of the Northern people.
]. The first is that they arc under
the most solemn obligation possible
to recognize these States as existing
members of the Union, with no dimin
ution of their rights, except as to sla
very. This was the avowed purpose
of the war. This was the promise of
the Northern people by their govern
ment to encourage them to fight; and
this was the pledge of the Southern'
people to induce them to cease fight-
ing.
5. That this purpose has been de
feated ; this promise has been viola
ted ; this pledge has been broken by
their Radical leaders, with the clear
and unmistakable intent of destroying
the Constitution ; and that in this
work they arc now joined and aided
by the most vindictive, the most ac
tive and most unscrupulous of the
original Southern secessionists.
3: That the Southern people became
weak in prosecuting the war only be
cause they listened to this pledge, and
laid down their arms only because
they believed it. That though this
generation may be helpless because
they were entrapped, the next will
refuse to believe and will remain j
BtJjpng —iuyineihle. That these de
ceptions can breed nothing butjois
trust; that these oppressions can pro
duce nothing but hale ; that oppress
ed and oppressors can never live to- j
getlier in peace, and that our children
and children’s children will he the j
victims of this Typhaan union of the
Northern Radicals and the Southern j
Secessionists, with no gain to either
section, but “ havoc, and spoil and
ruin.”
Notes on the Situation -No iO
by n. li mi,i,.
But ii is said the negro race is now ,
free, and made citizens by our laws,
and, therefore, are entitled to politic- j
al ns well as civil equality.
Itis idle to reason with a fanatical
mind. A fanatic is a lunatic The
conclusions of such arc never founded
in reason nor affected by experience ;
they are founded in feeling and live
only on passion. We must appeal
and still appeal and not cease to ap
peal to the rational American mind,
and by reason, and the experience of
mankind, save, if we can, our country
from the awful, indescribable horrors
which must result and result soon,
from the crazy dominations of men
who make liberty “ and equality ’ the
touchstones of political wisdom. This
mad theory is nothing but war upon
the teachings of reason, the experience
of all ages, and the law of God. It
was never the doctrine of any but the
agents of revolution, and il never
bore for any people any fruits but
anarchy and blood and the evils that
follow* in the train of unrestrained
passions.
But to suppose, as an abstract
proposition, we concede the negro
race is entitled to political equality ;
how does that justify these Military
Bills ? Does the negro’s right to vote
authorize a violation of the Constitu
tion by Congress ? Il it is a right to
enfranchise the negro is it right to dis
franchise the whites ?
No principle is better or more uni
versally conceded in American poli
ties than that the people of the States
o’onc must regulate the political fran
chise ot their citizens—each btute for
itself. If this principle is to he re
jected then no other need be respected.
The first great question we must de
termine'is this : Do we mean to sup
port the Constitution, or do we mean
to violate it ? Do we mean, when we
swear to support the Constitution, to
vote for that which violates the Con
stitution, and justify our perjury by
some vagary about- abstract right ? 1
press the question to every man’s con
science. Have you obtained your
consent to disregard the Constitution ?
Don’t dodge, or explain,, or qualify ;
answer the question. Have you ob
tained your consent to swear to sup
port the Constitution, and then ilip
planty write or say, “ The Constitu
tion is dead? ’ If dead why swear
to support it ? The Military Billsare
conceded to be unconstitutional.—
\\ hot her we be States, or Territories,
or Provinces, Congress is forbidden
by the Constitution to deny trial by
jury, or to authorize a warrant with
out oath, or put upon trial without
indictment, or suspend habeas corpus,
except during insurrection or invasion,
in case of a citizen, or establish milita
ry rule over citizens lit time of peace,
anywhere—in any single foot of land
— t. Stat e, Territory, or Province. —
These, these, oh, my deluded country
j men ! these arc the constitutional
; siiield, and buckler, and helmet, and
! breast plate of every American citizen,
of ever guide and color, on every inch
of American soil. They are the whole,
armor of liberty. And every one of
these Military Bills authorized to be
disregarded, and placed at the will of
a military officer, who is not even a
citizen of the State or territory in
which lie dominates i
I ask again and again, and I be
seech all men to ask ; it is the earnest,
anxious, piercing appeal of the dying
hope of liberty : Arc you. willing to
violate the Constitution.-" Arc you
willing, first, to swear to support it,
i with the intent, at the same time, of
■ '(ring to violate it ? Then, I pro
< mini—nil posterity will proclaim—
your hell-mortgaged conscience wilD
never cease to proclaim : you avoper
jured. and perjury is not half your ’
'■rime—you commit perjury in order
to become a traitor !
And now mark this ! The \4r\
oath which requires you to swear to
support the Constitution, and if von
take that oath and then vote for a
convention to carry out these Military
Bills, or aid in carrying them out, you
vote to accept, to approve, to estab
lish that which is a violation to the
Constitution, and, just as sure as
passion shall subside, and reason re
turn to our people, and sober oath
observing patriotism shall again rule
•in the land, so sure will you be brand
ed, and justly branded, as a felon and
whipped throughout the land with
the stinging, careless lashes of
public infamy, because you took an
oath to support the Constitution with
intent to violate, because you com
mitted perjury in order that you
might help to destroy your country.
And in vain will you hunt excuses to
palliate your cliargeless infamy. The
malignity which now make you call
patriots rebels ; the cowardice which
continues a war upon the unresist
ing whom you induced, w ith the most
sacred pledges, to lay down their
arms ; the meanness which devises
oppression for the helpless, the vile
ness which presses dishonor on those,
you l ave entrapped into your power;
tiie worse than hypocritical states- 1
manship which disfranchises white
men in order to Anlrapehisß black
men ; the criminal plghmthropliy
which provides for thu-eurc destruc
tion of the deluded nhgro race under
pretence ofelevating it, nil this will
only rise up to mock and laugh at
yon then. Like the hellhounds which
"death, by rape begot of sin,” when
Heaven’s Almighty hurled down to
hell those who, by deceit and force,
sought to destroy His supremacy
these were pretences which hate begets
of hyocrisv, in this attempt to des
troy the ( ’onstiintron; will become
“yelling monsters” in the political
hell into which the genius of eoiislitu
; tional libert v will east you, and will
“kennel the womb that bred them, ’
and “howl and know,’ and “vex with
conscious terrors,” forever.
I know how fallen is: human nature;
[ know how nations ami peoples have
often become the mere prey ot bail,
ambitious riders ; 1 know the streams
of blood with which hypocricy, under
pretence of sanity purposes, has oltcn
Hooded mankind ; I know how coun
tries have often been destroyed, that a
few wicked men might remain in pow
er. But. can it be that our people
have bearing willing to violate our
Constitution for our own dishonor and
destruction ? Will they take,an oath
to get a chance to violate it, in order
that they may degrade the white race,
and ultimately destroy the black race?-
How many will thus violate it?
How many will stand by it, live with
it, or mu for it ? That is the next
count.
: For the Gills—How to Geta Husband.
From an excellent communication
published in the Columbus (Miss.)
/jitter, of June 8, we copy t lie fol
lowing “ expressly lor the girls :
Being old, and therefore allowed
: license for teasing the girls on matri
monial subjects, 1 consult them about
their future prospects often, and find
that the opinion obtains with tlibtii,
; that the young men were never so
; slow in proposing as in these days ;
which, we must admit, gives them a
j good, not to sav all-powerful reason
lor not taking a husband. Now,
young ladies, the whole secret with
nine-tenths of j till, of not being able
! to get off your parents’ hands, is sim
ple this : you don’t know how to
work. You can’t keep house. You
can’t make a pair of breeches. You
| can’t tell for the life of you, the differ
ence between bran and shorts or
j which cow gives the buttermilk. The
: young men generally come out of the
war “ with the skin of their teeth,”
; with no fortune, I may say but their
! wardrobes of gray and their canteens,
and to marry with them now, rest as
sured, relates more to making a living
j with the assistance of a loving indtis
j trious help-mate, than indulging in
| opera music, moonshine and poetry,
i Do you know what they say of one of
your butterfly young ladies who lias
held them in the parlor engaged by
the hour listening to “elegant, noth
ings ?” Nineteen tunes out of twenty
is this—“ Well, sites all right for an
j evening entertainment, but she will
! not make a good wile!”
There is no possible objection to the
| accomplishments of music, paintings,
j and the like, as such, but the idea is
j to be able to set these parlor amuse
ments aside for the period when the
i stern duties of married life call for
j your practical knowledge. Show the.
; young men that you can do vour
1 part of double-business,; that toucan
j cook a meal’s victuals on a piiiteh ;
' that you can sweep up, and dust, and
darn old stockings, and save a penny
toward an accumulated pound ; that
you will not ho a dead expense to
him through life. Believe me, your
friends, too many truejieoric, woman
ly hearts heat over household duties
as flutter beneath the Soft light of a
parlor chandelier; Your kiss is just
as sweet, your smiles just as bright,
your heart as happy and tender, after
a day’s exertion in a sphere worthy
of true womanhood, as in places of
dissipation, frippery mid silly amuse
ment. Have an ambition to do your
part in life ; cultivate industrial hab
its, and let the parlor accomplishments
go with the higher accomplishments
l have roughly enumerated. It is
flistonishing how soon a domestic
young Judy is found out and appreci
ated. It is bccaifse she is such a rare
exception to the general rule.
In the vicinity of Atlanta is a
newly founded city styled Shevnumtowo.
It numbers about five hundred, and the
population is increasing. The name was
taken from that- gentleman who stopped
there about two years ago on his way to
Savannah, or some other “seaport town.”
It is inhabited by Ilamites, freedmon,
Ethiopia s, Africans and little niggers.
The chief amusements are prayer meet
ings and balls, which are held on alter
nate nights in the sjimc slant}’, which are
diversified by brick-bat games of croquet,
“pine top,” second-handed Robinson
county, and other necessaries abound, and
chicken feathers arc found m all back
yards.

Hail awcet Buquet !. Extract pf Flowers,.,
Culled from Flora’s i hoicest bowers,
And efistilled in crystal vases,
Like pearly tears, wept by the grfrees,
Tis thee we slug, thou sweet Boquet,
From morning dawn (iIT cloye of day ;
In thy sweet breath dost thou combine
The odor of the Jessamine,
With other flowers, rich a'.id rare,
That scent the fragrant Southern air ;
The Tube Rose and the Viol t.
The Moss Rose and the Migniouette,
The Heliotrope, and other flowers,
Blooming in our sunny bowers.
In t .ce unite their sweetest scents,
To make thy far-famed excellence.

in beaut iful wicker covered bottles and is so
highly concentrated and delicate that a few
drops will leave- its delightful odor in the
