The Journal is not unfrequently com
plimented by the reception of such let
tiers as the one we give below. We regard
them as the best evidence that our blows
are rightly aimed, and that the cause we
sustain is the cause of truth, justice and
our country. We need not assure our
readers that the following letter is genu-
inc. 1t bears internal evidence of the
source from whence it emanates. 1t is,
Intellectually and morally, genuine

democratic document. We have no
doubt the author, as do most Of his So
called democratic associates, regard JEFF.
Davis as the very pink of gentlemanly
perfection, and rejoice in his triumphs
and mourn over his defeats We have
no doubt Fairplay,'"' as he deceitfully
signs himself, is member Of the Knights
of the Golden Circle. That he is con-
temptible coward we want no better proof
than the writing of a letter to which the
pusillanimous puppy is afraid to sign
his correct name.-ED. JOURNAL r

This is the most hopeful sentiment we
have seen in the Journal for many days,
and it is the true doctrine. The officer
who resigns, or the man who grumbles
because the President manifests deter

heart traitor, and deserves traitors
