Why if we look at States lately under the sway
Of the rebels, we see the most persistent experi.
ments entered upon, as at Memphis, to learn how
much sf disloyaity and treason the Government
will tolerate. Day by day we observe the most
nicely balanced endeayors to keep alive that disloy
atty which has bighted the prosperity of the States
and deluged them with blood, and which yields not
one iOta Of its pretensons except as eXtorted by
the sternest treatment. Treacherous, almost super
naturally vigant it hides its arms, it nurses its evil
hopes and its smohered wrath, and madly laughs at
all talk OF ''compromise except that which would
leave its tyranny unmpaired, and the States them
selves prey to the desolat;on to be born Of its

atrocities at New Orleans, thus concludes:

mischief and the scandal in the fact that high
posts in the Federal army should be entrusted to

Confederate forces have at least acted like officers
and gentlemen. II has been reserved for the "hlgh

emulate the coarse brutalities of rowdes and shou
der hitters.
