While the enemy are collecting their shat
tered columns for a new attempt upon our
liberties, and new deeds of robbery, we, on
our part, are strengthening our own inv'ncloie
hosts to visit upon them new castigatlons.-
10 one respect We must DO careful 70 o'ne'
from them. They are quarreling with eacn
other about past responsibilities. God has
sent almost q Babel confusion among them
We on our part stand as a band OF oFo'nefs'
whose friendship and affection have been
cemented by common hazards and mutual
services and a common glory. Let us en-
couraee this sentiment. Forgotten be the
differences and tho feuds of the past. AT
least let them be adjourned till the public
neril is over. None have had stronger
or more honest convictions rs to these than
we, or have less repented Of them. But
when VIC sec men Of every hue Of politics
and past opinions, locking shield with shield,
and rushing With generous rivalry 10 the
battles front, in Defence Of their country,
we have mono but words of fellowship for them
all "If thy heart be right With my heart
give nj thy ~hand,"-tkis was en- ancient test
Of friendship that suits vel! the communion
proper for the times.
While, then, we commend to our readers
this catholic spirit as due to the exigencics Of
our condition, it is, we are persuaded, also the
course which justice requires. There are
many, especially in official position, whether
Of the Confederate or State service, who are not
in condition, without prejudice TO the public
interests, to make those statements aud disclo-
sures which would be accepted as q perfect
vindication against uniavorablc opinions now
conceived of them through misapprahenslo1s,
end endured by them in the spirit OF patriotism.
| Wait until victory and peace have unloosened
| the seals Of reserve, and then we are satisfied,
aud have reason to knoao, that much which is
now viewed to some extent with dissatisfaction
will be found capable Of the most agreeable
and honorable explanations. But whether ms
prove 50 or not, the question belongs to the
future. The present is j time for generous
condolences. Let us now but exchange the
greetings, and blend the huzzas, and combine
tho efforts of brothers in q common cause, till
our foes arc under our feet. Let our enemies
ouarrel-nDd may the storm rage! Let con-
fusion reign between their Congress and their
Cabinet. Let their generals leproach each
other with cowardicc and folly. Let State
taunt State with ineficiency. Let their jour.
nails berate each other. On our side let the
common Shout of o universal brotherhood be
heard, and that af:ctionatc cooperation mani.
tested which should ever exist between suffer
ers under q common Injustice.
