IL any one has doubted that the Admins
lration party desire to widen The gull be-
tween the Norlh and South, he has but 10
nole The pains they take 10 represent the
Southerners as race with whom il would
be shame TO have political or social com :
partnership. |, is only upoc the suppositon
that the radicals intend no reconciliation, no
restoration Of friendly feeling, that we can
accoun, for the incessant exhibition of in
tense horror and disgnsi on the past of the
Black Republican journals for the people OF
the Coniederacy. In one Issue of an Abo
lition sheet. we find them denounced as
"Algerine pirates" Rebel demons," who
infiict 6endish tortures" upon their siam
ishing prisoners and the West and North
arsi called upon TO ssoyerun that pesiiierous
region and tramp out of existence those
baibarians of modern history the God
iorsaken cIan'' that with their sawful crimes
against liberty and humanity have s-horri-
fed ihe loyal citizens OF The United States
by more Than barbaric" conduct.
These railers know ,ba, The Sontherners
ara. neither better nor worse than the north
erIlers, so far as regards the general ailri-
bules of civilized humanity. Bni the iuien-
lion is 10 cultivate feeling of an;ipaihy
bsEween the sections. and hence his habit
of denunciaiion. |, cannot be for the rur-
pose of inspiring the soldiers OF the north
with martial fury, for the brave man is
hrlvssi when be conironis a foe that he
respects, moi one that he despises aud abb

suited when hatred is suggested to them as

II was erroneousIy stated few days ago,
that the Rebel authorities had refused TO re
ceive Northern contributions to relieve the
Federal prisoners at Richnond and imme-
diately q howl went forth from the Radical
piess. To illuslraie the ridiculous nature of
these baselsss accusations, il is sufficient to
observe ihaf the error in :hiscase originated
with the Federal officers in charge OF The
chariiabls mission, who requested the adj
mission OF ''comrnissaries" into Richmond.
The Rebels, asionished By this remarkable
Tequest, and naturally obiecting TO the
introduction Of Federal officers within their
Notifications. declined the proposed visit !;
bia when they ast.efiained that the s'com-
missaries" were comm;ssary stores, mere
flesh and mutton, beeves and goats" and
not alive, Substantial, wide awake and pry-
ing Yankees, they withdrew the inierdict
ard cordially acqniesced. In fact Mr.. OuId,
ihs Rebel Commissioner. seems TO be doing
everything In his power to further the hu-
mane intentions Of the North 10 regard TO
lhe prisoners. He has given written assur-
arce that all supplies Will be received al
CiIy Point, and delivered to The prisoners
20 whom they are addressed.
The RADICAL TevIIers should be shamed
into something like decency, and made TO
understand that an enlightened people can
wage war without adding mere scurriIiiy
and tongue e-assanIi 10 the sufficiently de-
plorabie necessities of The battle field =
When OR virile strength becomes exhaust
ed, snd lhs war degeneraies on both sides

win be the appropriaie time Tor the scolds
oE the Radical press 10 vent their wOrdy
fury.
