devoted to the Union, and that they would submit
to the most degrading insults from the Northern,
and yet lick the hand that would strike them down,
and render the fair and peaceable South the scene
OF horrors such as history has never yet recorded
In many instances no such Southern papers existed
at all, Qor one, the Columbia, s. c., Ielescope,)
and probably many other names are deslgnedly
fabricated. These are garbled extracts from real
pspers-but the real sense and meaning of those
ARTICLES from the Southern papers, when taken In
the whole, totally, entirely different. There
are. OF course, many prints, OF no account or IN
huence in the fourteen Southern States, that were
never heard of before outside of the village or

Ger brought them forward, as specimens of Southern
feeling!
