SubiugatiOn Of the Smith.

We make the following pertinent ex-
tract from an able pamphlet by j. G.
Stille, entl led. How free people
conduct long war -
There is a good deal of talk ABOUT the
lmpossIbility Of conquering or sub gat-
ing the South, which is based upon very
vague no ions of what conques and sub
iugation signify. Ii is surprising to find
how even intelligent men have been
imposed upon by this favorite boast of
the rebels and 'hclr sympa hzers. A
pretended saying of Napoleon is quoted,
that sit is impossible to preven. any
people determined on achieving its indie
pendence, from accomplishing its pur-
pose: !: and ii is confidently askc d
whether any one ever heard of the sub
Jngatlon of twelve millions of people
determined to be free. We reply, that
history, ancicu and Modren, is full of
lns ances of the only sort of couques or
suhjuga ION which any sane man pro-
poses shall be submit ed to by the Sou h.
No one thinks 1t possible or necessary.
for the purpose in view, to occupy he
whole South with garrisonS, but simply
to destroy he only support upon which
It's arrogant prctenSiuus are based, name
~, Its mill airy power. This gone, what
becomes OF all the rest and this re-
naming, where is there any hope of per-
manent peace and safety to US! For
wha is all war, but an appeal to force
to settle questions of Ma ional interes
which peaceful discussion has failed to
settle; aud what is an army, but only
ano her argument, the ultima ratio,
which, if successful in decisive ba ties,
mus give the law to the conquered -
10 say nothing of instances in ancient
history, Poland, Hungary and Lom-
bardy, in our day, we're just as deter
mined to be free as the South is, and
quite as full of martial ardor: aud GER
tainly Prussia, Spain under the Boua-
parte dynasty, and the French Empire.

did not avail. He said if his property,
! liberty, and even his life were to be
sacrificed it, should be sin the cause of
the Union and no other"
Mr.. Wiser thinks he is still in prison.
One of the saddest cases of the war
was that of Mr.. Bishop, who lived in
Fairfax county, near where Mr.. Wiser
was taken: Mr.. Bishop was a most
respectable, amiable and venerable old
gentleman, living in the most retired
manner with his son, away from the
public roads, and seldom leaving his
home. lie was seventyfve years of
age, and his sight was considerably i'm
paired. He was coniding, generous
and hospitalle. Rcbcl soldiers, under
the gulse of Union men, partook of his
hospitali y, betrayed his confidence. and
he was dragged off to prison. All that
was proved against him was that "his
face frightened when he thought Union
soldiers were under his roof" and that
he said, "JFhoever you are, If you are
hungry, you are acclcome to portake of
my poor tare, but # you are Un,om boys,
Goa bless you md your cause but / am
osd noW. md young men must do the
work' He, with Mr.. Wiser and
several o hers in the vicinity of Drains
vile, were taken off at the same time to
Fairfax Court House. This was some
time in August, 1861. From Fairfax
Court House this venerable old man
was hurried through the deep mud on
foot all the way to Manassas junction.
lie was supported by his fellow-pris-
oners on each side, or he would many
lines have fallen on the way. In the
Richmond prison he grew more and
more feeble The utmost sympathy was
excited by bis extreme age and his kind,
genial manners. The Massachusetts
prisoners received box of clothing from
home, and they had the poor old gentle
man stripped of his filthy clothing;
which was filled with vermin; and he
was washed and dressed in new suit
A large tobacco box was procured in
which cot was placed, and this was his
"bed ROOM" Afer several months he
was released, only in time to die, and he
hoped it might be under his own roof
His Imprisonment had SO impaired his
faculties that after being put upon the
railroad he gave to the conductor con-
fused statements, and before he reached
Fairfax Court House he had lost his
papers. lie was helpless, without
friends, and sill IN the hands of the
enemy. He was consigned to Orange
Court House jail, and there he died.

The reason that they pretend to be

His voice was heard IN the stores that
surround the square, and the people
came fiocklng IN from all quarters. In
i've minutes he had an audience that
packed the hall to is utmost capacity.
After he had concluded, the Republican
members and spectators rushed up and
took him by the hand to congratulate

from their blanched cheeks and restless

G. +. Dubiskie, privae in Hawkins

ing each other, at furious charge bay
oncts. He was between them and mo-
mentarily expected the furious shock of
their meeting, bu. just as they reached
him, they stopped, and suddenly,
grounded arms and looked up toward
Heaven. His eyes followed the direc-
tion which they took, and he saw the
clouds rapidly breaking away as they
of en- do after severe storm. The sun
broke forth gloriously as the heavy
masses rolled away, revealing to his
enrap ured gaze the figures of Washing

throng was the SENTENCE -'Peace, April
