LETTER FROM SANTA TRISTTA TO CARO-
sIGNORK.
RIoHMoND, Thursday, June s, 1863.
CARO- SIGaoRE-I humbly entreat you
you will hasten 70 inform your father Of
the contents of this letter. o., FRIEND,
in these days of terror, despoism, and
dependency, one seeks in vain for sym
patty in these regions OF secessis, where
every heart seems filed With hatred,
malice and revenge, where ole hears
young women talk Of turning over on
battle fieldp, "hOrrid, nasty, grinning
skulls Of Yankees" with their dainty
feet. Then, for the sake of your cOun-
try, do what you can to arrest all insti-
gators and abettors of this rebellion.
Tell your father that about the 11th of
this month the Rev. NJ. ID. Hodge will at
tempt to run the blockade from st.
Thomas t. Charleston. He has been for
some time past in London, where his ap-
parent business was to collect tesla
ments aud bibles, but where his real OBJ
jeet was TO write for Southern journals,
and exert his Influence for the Southern
cause. A greater rebel frebrand does
ros exist. Hs has friends and sympa-
tbizers in Brooklyn, New York; one is
Rev. - -, Pastor Of some church,
and another is - -, who lives or
did live on - street. Mr.. - has =
son in the Federal Navy. They are AL
10 full sympathy with the South, and do
what they can to promote the cause.
Then, in Baltimore, every body there is
for the South. Those who stand very
prominent are 3 Mrs. -, sister TO one
of -, Of Virgins, . most
industrious worker for the cause; Miss
-, sister of - -, and one Mr..
-, SO - His wife will
try to 20 to Ohio. They should al be
sent South The whole family Of -
are in constant correspondence with this
place. A Mrs. -, whose husband Is
10 the Confederate army, ran the block
ade some time since. She is = spy of the
worst character, and ought not to be toll
Grated in the North. Her mother. in law
il a Mrs. - She also expected 70 60
TO Philadslphis. Commodore Hollins
will soon leave'here to go 20 Nassau or
st. Thomas, to sail Tor England, where
be expects 10 take command of . war
steamer EwelI has taken the place Of
Stonewan JacksoD, although he has but
one leg. Report says Lee will soon make
a forward movement. Stuart expects 70
make q raid from Orange into Pennsyl-
vania.
1t is truth, the rebel soldiers i've on
rats, and any thing else they can get
Corn and wheat, green, and from the field,
are common articles of diet. II the
Northern army can not Vanquish such >
miserable set of starved and naked
wretches, then may the Yankee nation
become a by word with all nations on
earth Ia the North, treason stalks forth
in broad daylight! Here every thing is
subservient 10 the cause, and one word
of remonstranee is instant death.
Stoneman had within his grasp the
plantations of several Of the most prom.
inent rebels-Seddon, Secretary Of War;
Anderson, Of the Tredegar Iron Work;
Hobson, aon-in-laW Of General Wise, O.
c. Lee, brother of General Lee; Harrison,
Colonel at DrsEry'S Bluff; besides the
farms Of hundreds engaged in the South
ern service. The damage done canal and
railroad vas repaired in twenty-fOur
hours after the retreat.
Oh, Sirl the universal cry here Is to
raise the black flag. 0al for the hour
when the avsnging angel shall appear,
with torch in one hand aud the svenging
sword Of justice in the other, and con-
secrate to death and destruction this
land and these people, rewArding them
with fate they 90 richly deserve
When, when will that time arrive? The
women and preachers are among the
most earnest and determined rebels i n
the South. They do more 10 stimulate
and keep alive the spirit Of rebellion than
sny or er members Of society. Many .
man wesring the Federal uniform is =
traitor, and where the men are trae their
wives are false. It is this which aas 80
Oftea proved ruinOus 10 the Union cause.
Here, every mind, heart and ARIA are beat
to serve the cause OF tbs South. Money,
property, crops, everything, is saeFifeed
