! ! am satisfied that at the time Of secession
majority in every State, except South Carolina,
and perhaps Mississippi, were FOR the Union
1t is not so now, but all who were once Union
men will become so agair, when they find out the
truth, and the excitement has somewhat cooled
down. Many Of the others will become qr,si citi-
Eers because they have lost all hope for their
party, bu' there are many who will fight even
after all hope is gone. They are brave and will
be desp-rate, thinking they are fighting for tLeir
homes, frrsides, and everything man holas most
dear They will say, " shall we be a subjdgatei
peol -conqucrei-ensllvei, No better death
than shonor" And they are brave and will die
bravely. Bu; this class Will comprise not large
portion Of the people, and doubtless many Of them
will leave the country.
1t must 10, be expected that in mos; plrts Of
the South, Union people will declare themselves
Immediately as our armies advance. Many must
have time to find out the truth, and all must first
be satisfied that the United States will not leave
them sgain unproteeted-ani they must have time
to recover from the effects Of the reign Of terror
under which they have lived. No man at the
South dare say a word publicly in favor Of the
/ United States. Az talk seeossiou,-most Union
men more violently than anybody else, SO a. to
avoid suspicion. l did not hear a hearty laugh
il Tennessee, and the people had got in the
habit Of always speaking in low tones
Many men travel through the whole South and
think there is no Union sentiment left. have
statements in northern papers that there were
no Union men in New Orleans. But kuor that
a large majority Of the people Of that city are
strongly Union. I have many aequaintances
there who have kept us informed. Louisiana gave
4 majority for the Union ir tho election Of dele
gates 20 her Convention, though the papers diI not
dare to publish that fact; and think Louisiana
would be strongly in favor Of Uaion to-day, if
they did lot think the North intended to set the
slaves free.
when the South Is su jusa,el and the rebels
disarmed, and arms put in the hands Of the loyal,
think there will be no more trouble in most parts
Of the South. In soYs localities garrison will
be necessary but if asAte prefers to have
Governor appointed by the President, rather than
elect him themselves, and prefers TO have an army /
