The Master Race.

Since the great battle Of Shiloh, and includ
ing it, We have had an almost uninterrupted Sc.
ges of victories. We have encountered the en-
envy generally with heavy odds against US, and
frequently behind entrenchments, but in no
single instance, unless it be the unexplained af.
eair at Lewisburg, have Southern troops failed
to exhibit superior manhood to the mongrel and
many.topgued enemy. -. -.
Indeed, the whole experience Of the war i an
attestation Of the truth long since ,dicovefed by
impartial observers, that the master race Of this
continent is found in the Southern States. OF
better stock originally, and habituatedT to
inanler pursuits and exercises, they have ruled
iD affairs of State by force of the stronger will
and larger wisdom That pertain 10 and distin
sush superior races of men, while on the field
OF battle they have in every contest held q pr.
GRITTY Of place, conceded to them by their pre-.
sent adversaries. 4 20 a171.ie2 hle5 "sS4. 't'
This natural dominancy Of the Southern PEG.
pie has had much to do in bringing on the war.
Iheinterior race, growing strong ia numbers
and ambitious from prosperity, have revolted
against and now seek to overthrow and destroy
nose whose superiority was constant source OF
envy and self reproach. There is no fercer
ualevoence than that of caste, and it is this
which has SO long stirred the Yankee bile. Al.
FEs, 10 the presence of the Southern gentle
nan he has felt astrong and psinfully repres-
eco impulse to take off his hat This conscious
slieriolity has CALLED the jealous and malignant
creature, until be has broken out in servile in
saseeslou. He has vainly concluded that his
aIMoets can overwhelm and exterminate the
I -s OF bis envy, and that he, succeeding to
o.oau acres and liberal habitutes of the South
Gu gentry, will come to be looked upon %
