The Richmond Dispatch has an editorial
arguing that there is but one road to "recon-
struction" and that over the dead bodies of
every man, woman, and child in the South
crn Confederacy. "'They," the North, says
the Dispatch twill never be our masters, and
we would not have them for our slaves. The
editor concludes as follows:
We warn the Democrats and conservatives
of the North to dismiss from their minds at
once the miserable delusion that the South
can never consent to enter again, upon any
terms, the old Union. If the North will
allow us to write the Constitution ourselves
and give us every guarantee we would ask
We would sooner be under the Government
of England or France than under Union
with men who have shown that they cannot
keep good faith, and are the most barbarous
and inhuman, as well as treacherous, o1
mankind.
If the reconstructionists want peace they
can easily have it, upon the terms on which
they could have always had it-lettlng us
alone. We ask nothing more or less. We
are making no war on them. We are not
invading their territory, nor giving theil
homes to the flames, their populations tt
prison and the sword, their women to fate
worse than death. Let us alone2 That II
all we ask. Let us alone and peace viii
return once more to bless distracted land
But do not expect us to degrade ourselves
and cast dishonor upon .he graves of ou
kindred by ever returning to the embrace o.
those whose hands are dripping with th
tears and blood of our people.

THE eUNBoATs SMELLING THE PLACE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. /.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. /.
The following extract Of letter, written
by Acting Assistant Paymaster Frederick r.
Thompson, of the United States steamer New
London, detailing some incidents of the
bombardment of Galveston, has been for
wardod to the Secretary of the Navy:
SATURDAY EVENING, Jan. 10.
We arrived off Galveston about noon to-
day, and as soon as the Captain reported to
the Flag g-officer the signal went up from the
flagship to prepare for action and get under
weigh. The Brooklyn stopped about two
miles from the fort, while the New London
and Scotia went close in to draw, if possible,
the fire of any batteries which the Rebels
may have erected. Surrounding the fort
could be seen the tents of the troops, and
towards these our fire was directed
The ball was opened by the Brooklyn.
She was lying about mile and a half from
us. We saw puff of smoke at her bow,
and then heard the deep booming of her
gun, while in the air we could hear the
bowling OF her shell as they passed over us.
The Scotia followed, with her l1-inch and
Parrott guns at one extremity of the town,
while we move along the front to the other
extremity. We opened fire with one Parrott
y
We then went within mile and q half of
the fort and opened fire upon the encamp-
ment. The Scotia came after us, while the
Brooklyn, with the tremendous range of her
gun, planted her shell nearly at the distance
of three miles. We were rolling tremen-
dously, and had to fire as we were rising.
Our starboard 30-pounder was fired, and
we watched in the direction of the range.
The shell exploded in the fort, and soon
down came the Rebel flag, the halyards
being cut, so that the credit belongs to the
New London. After firing several good
shots the signal was sent up from the flag
ship TO cease action We came about, and
us we returned feld-piece battery was
opened on us, but it fell short, though near
enough for US TO hear and see the shot as it
struck, about twenty rods from us. We
/ gave them a broadside. and the Scotia three
| l-inch shells, all of which struck and ex-
p!oded ia the battery, the effect of which
must have been tremendous, judging from
what we could See through the glass.
| We could see the masts of the Harriet
Lane over the town, which is situated on
a narrow strip Of land.
Tonight our squadron has been reinfor-
esd by two more gunboats, carrying sixteen
guns. Tomorrow beng Sunday nothing
will be done. bat when the bombaldment Is
renewed II will IL tremendous. Galveston
Is a doomed city. The disgrace attending
the capture OF the Harriet Lane must be
wiped out, and the vengeance upon IL
| butchers aud eaptors will ~ awful. On
Monday We shall attempt 10 paks the fort.
