We do not wish, while charity is on her
angel visit In our midst. to call up the fell
Fpirit Of recrimination aud vindictiVeness !;
but it Is a ft occasion to remind the secess-
ionist of this city, male and female, that they
are responsible for he suffering and death, 10
The extent of their example and arts, brought
about by this unhOy rebellion. The suffer
ing is among the poor aud more ignorant
the sophisiry and ambition Of secession
leaders to take part against a Government
tbe most benevolent and free the world ever
enjoy ed. Entrapped into this snare, force
was subsequently used TO. drag these victims
into the service Of the rebellion. They have
been fattered, cajoled and coerced, and the
results set forth in the dispatch Of General
OF the Union fCrceE--Qn officer, who, after
compelling these miserable leaders and dupes
to evacuate their stronghold, employs his
position and influence to the holy purpose OF
procuring assistance Tor the starving families
of the enemy. If a traitor in our city or
elsewhere can read these proceedings with
out feelings Of the deepest humiliation and
shame, be must be beyond the reach Of human
| feeling, and Incapable of the aspirations OF
human destiny. Let the pert miss haunt
her white and red trimming on the street,
and toss her empty head at the flag OF the
Union aud the equally brainless boy show
off his ground swell about Southern rights
| aud Northern aggression - there, around
COrinth, the field of secession chivalry and
military strategy, is an exposition of the end
Of all OF this miserable attempt to break up
| the great American Republic The chivalry
have fed, and are now scattered like dust
| throughout the adjacent country their
boosted defence works are in the possession
OF the Union army and fronfthere Gen. Hal
leck sends out to the loyal men of the c0un-
try an appeal to their sympathy in behalf of
| the women and children rendered destitute
| by the acts Of those who we're appointed by
| every law, human and divine, 70 be their
supporters and defenders.
! We trust the better feelings Of humanity
may signaily triumph on this occasion. Let
| tho subscription of the Union be free aud lib.
eral and, above all, let the secessionists Of
this city improve the opportunity 10 make
some amends for their atrociOus conduct, by
timely bestowall Of food to their starving
victims.
