A CASE OF SYMPATHY-A friend
vouches for the correctness of the fol-
lowing incident:
A patriotic lawyer, of Democratic an
tecedents, from an adjoining county, wa s
visiting our city at the time news was
received of the surrender of Vicksburg
In passing along the street, he met with
an old political chum with whom he used
to take sweet counsel. His friend-who,
by the way, is an ex-city official, and was
an unsuccessful candidate at the last
election--looked, on the present occasion,
peculiarly grum. Suspecting what was
the matter, the lawyer stepped up to him
with extended hand and mock gravity,
exclaiming:
How are you, old fellow; don't you
think this news. of the surrender of Vicks.
burg is devilish bad for our party?"
Yes" was the melancholy reply.
" 1t is devilish bad. can'trejoice bit
1t makes me sick, and l am going home.
May we be allowed to inquire if this
is not case of genuine sympathy?
ANoTHER.-A brother of this "Consti.
tutional Democrat" who couldn't rejoice
over the success of our armies-(that
however, may be regarded as an evidence
of his Constitutionality ")-was in g
grocery store in the upper part of oul
city, a few days after the reception of the
Vicksburg news, and was overheard de
nouncing General Pemberton as traitor
for surrendering Vicksburg when hi
could have held out for two months
longer just as well as not
Why this spawn of bogus democ
racy should want Pemberton to hold ou
two months longer, we can't conceive, un
less, as member of the K G. C.'s he wa
cognizant of the contemplated riots il
the Northern cities, and anticipated tina
they would create such diversion il
favor of the rebels that Pemberton woult
not be compelled to surrender a
all. This, however, we only add as
reasonable supposition; the other w
give as fact.
To show how different is the spirit il
our noble army, we will add, that thir,
brother, who has always been demo
crat-and is now better democrat thai
either of the two above mentioned-wa
an applicant for Sergeant's position il
the First Regiment Arkansas Volur
teers, which, it will be recollected, is com
posed of American citizens of Africa
descent"
K. G. C. DEMoCRACY.-We have a
ready published an extract from Colone
Shuler's report, stating that Morgan re
ceived aid and sympathy from individu
ais in almost every township throug
which he passed, and that all these syn
pathizers are blatant Vallandighamer
In the same connection, and to substar
tiate Col. Shuler's statement, we cop
the following letter from the Cincinna
Commercial 1t will be observed thu
the author appends his name to tt
communication and does not hesitate I
give the names of places where Morga
was Hospitality entertained and furnishe
with valuable information, as well as tt
names of those doing the same. Rea
the letter and deny, if possible, that tt
rebels have sympathizers in this Stat
and that those sympathizers do not a
profess to be Democrats
