MAJ GIN FlIE. LIE:
DKAR Swallowing that you feel lively interest in
the welfare and efficiency of your devoted Division
have the honor to call your attention to some existing
evils and 10 hint at their remedies
lst. We sick cava!rymer, have poor camp accommo-
datons erefore Eorses turned over 10 the
"A O. hs" our saddles ard hIidles left 10 care for
Themselves and hurried of, nolsns' Volsns, To the
chmond Hospitals, where We are likely TO be fur
Laughed for 80 or 80 dsJA Ga return to camp, If
we are so fortunate find horses al ve they
unfit for duty. In the meantime, our Mcclellan sad
Giles" aud good brides, obsained for deal of money,
have been either stolen, tbroWn away, eaten by the
mules or exchanged for goodfor-nothing brides and
6dek-biting Confederate skeletons So invariably ia
this the CASE That once heard q surgeon remark,
when send man to the Hospital, l advise him 10
sell his horss and "a lipmsuts." Are the surgeons
of Richmond more Ieteu to form correct opinions
of our cases than are the Surgeons Of our regiments
assisted by our commanding officers? Why not let our
regimenia cons under proper restricons grant US
sick furloughs aud why Lot let US take lorses and
cuupments where they will be cared for? II we are
20 have cavalry hospitals should they be located in
safe, prosperous counties, and have accommodations
FOR tho sick mems horsesi
I'd Ii our korses are rendered unfit for service by
hard usage and poor feed, get damages although
the Government has contracted to find them. Why not
permit to have all the horses We capture from tie
enemy? This would be better. music than the talk
about putting "dismounted men in infantry" =.
Srd Ca Ecouts and raids in pursuits and retreats We
ara frequently minus raons for several succ nsve
days, whoa, with empty POCKETS and s,omachs, we ap-
poach the Commssary and ask for back rGtions

All Our tffstrS wages are net sufficient to c.othe
ard feed them, much less to furnish themselves with

on this point and get ratiOns issued to the ofcsrsH
Genera will you not attend to these things and in'
prove dt5hy hintss II so, you will be rewarded in

Widening the Chasm.

TIC people of the United States have deliberately
chosen a. the Charleston Mercury says the alternative
of our subsection or our eternal hate. So ignorant were
the people of the Confederate States Of che deest&blO
cha aceriscs OF their NotheEn associates Of the U.
that If any codcesons had been made previous to their
secession, simply gusrantss gthe lights plainly bestowed
blythe Constitution of the United States upOI the inn
IN date mate then in agaton-our telTitories-the
people Of the Confederate States would have continued
in political ooiAton with them But they we're drink
with prosperity co0ing from our resources and labor
Thew dsspsed Us on account Of previous submission
to their profitable and aggressive use OF the General
Government at GU: e1psnss. They haughdly insisted
on our obedience to vulgar sectional majority, con-
stutiug one OF the worst forms Of despot.m Driving
Us to measures of s,oary the gulf Of dsunOn opened
before them to swallow up the Of their ycunt
ed property.
They had all Alorg boosted tsa 1t was their superior
sagacity their energy and institutions, which had b
them up such height of vast wealth and strength,
aud not their use OF the Southern markets and Southern
produce. The Southern people. were weak, SEM
bart ARGUS, corrupt and coSErdly All the man
hool, vtue and elements Of greatness we're wi then.
Why then, did they not le. aono in separation p
Here was IN opportunity to get clear Of tho odium OF
our institutions for which they ected to believe that
Il ey were re ponsioe Here grand occasion for
the respondent virtues Of the North to shine forth
among the nations of the earth, unpou@d by the con-
Elimination of the SOUTH Why'd they not dare a
destiny for themselves. Because their professions were
lies and their prosperity unconstitutional robbery
when their professions tested by the stern reality
OF dsuuop they shrunk back aghass at the ruin which
their ia schools, aud frauds and oppI ssols, and fan
stcal ntermedding had a. last brought upol them -
To have submitted to the righteous assertion Of their
Own by the Confederate Stses VAS of course totally In
With their whole policy Of wrong &1d robbery
They drew the sword TO coorce US, compAcenty de-
carrg that too feeble and Insignificant, that
a very few months of war would bring into subjeo-
ton TO them. They have rent forth their armies against
u.s. and in every fgh where forces were at all equJ
We have defeated Them but they still perssVere in theI
bloody purposes, and the deepens and Wdena That
hate which sympathy first inspired in the greater part
OF the Confederate States, they spreading, by the
experience Of actual sufeIng. Our coasts desoa
ted-our people driven from their homes, and tbe
houses laid III ashes The Wenen-the children Of The
Confederate StAeJ labor and hate in the great cause
which puts peril the lives Of their fathers, husbands
brothers and friends. The gulf Of separation grows
every day blsckei and broader.

time that viii really test the people Of the ConfeG-

TO contemplate the possibility OF being, in the military

labor to a great extent broken up-and supplies for

beginning of the war, and the European public conf

we would have escaped it altogether. II adversely

this purposeH Does any believe that half of these
bonds could be issued Aud yet, in connection with
the act Of Congress authorizing such loan tax bill
must be passed TO raise sixty millions OF specie 10 the
coupons OF this very loan. Twelve months hence We
will be paying this specie and coupon tax OF sixty mil
