authorities Of this department, that
avowedly disloyal newspapers shall cir
culate here? The journal whose name
heads this paragraph, was, until recent
IY, the bryan Of Archbishop Hughes,
but was abandoned by him on account
Of it's reasonable course The Record is
a feeble concern, but circulates some
what freely among the rebels in this city,
solely on account Of its malignant aud
i%nsolent treason. Here is a paragraph
from one Of its editorials, IN its issue Of
July 4h:
We have simply TO deal with an ac-
complished fact. The Administration
having, by its policy, dissolved the
Union, The States must resolUe themselves into
their original s%0Uereignties. as for peace,
the South, leing at present complete master Of
the situation, has The solution Of hat matter
IN is oion hands. We are beaten at all
p7ins- the Mississippi and away north
Of the ~Rappahanock, where the legions Of
the great commander, Lee, hold possess
sion of the fertile valleys Of P~ennsylva-
mia, threatening not only Washington,
but the great commercial city of the
Delaware. The Administration is
strick n with paralysis. II is gone,
utterly gone. In he battle noC impending
in Maryland there can b but one result ho
defeat of he Administra ion forces and The
termination Qf the uar. There may be
some desultory fighting after this, hut
the war cannot be p%rotracted over tWO or
three months.
Again, so far as the Independence Of
the Southern Confederacy is concerned,
that paint is placed beyond peYadVen.ure. The
people Of tho South have achieved that indie
pendence by The s,Oord. They have suc-
ceeded in the face Of innumerable diff
c%ulties, despite Vt the largely preponde-
rating population of the North, aud its
illimitable resources, in maintaining
their position and in saving themselves
from the terrible fate which would have
befallen them had the Abolition despo-
tism at Washington succeeded in its me-
farious and inhuman designs. Before
the world, aye, even before the Admins
tration, they are at the present day a
sovereign power among the nations OF
the earth.
In view of all these facts can any
candid man deny that they are a 9redi
people of tOhom, as Ameriedns, zoe may ,7eli
feel proud.
IL is true that we can surpAss them in
matters of trade and commerce that W,
can Guido them in business shrewdness
bit IN the letter regions Of i%ntelLecf, in the
power to WELD resources, ia LEAD rship,
in government, zoe are, IL must B confessed
their interiors. The contrast presented
between the characters of the two great
sections Of the country, as sboun by The
manner IN Which each has prosecuted the tOar,
tells most Unfavorably for he North.
Again:
This brutal upjusifaJle, and unooastitu
aonal War has brought to light the mos
hideous moral deformities that ever dis
figured q people.
Now is il not the greatest folly imagi.
nable to arrest men for reasonable Lam
guage, when newspapers uttering such
unblushing rebel falsshoods are suffered
TO circulate? Why not invite the editor
of the Chattanooga Rebel to publish his
paper in Nashville, as we'll as allow this
Record to be sold here The Rebel has
much more ability and less malignily.
There is this merit about the Southern
Hotspurs whose voices, along with thos'
of the Northern Abolition leaders, wert
for war before the war commenced
Most Of them should have shouldereC
their guns and fought in the war.-h
dionapolis Sentinel.
Not q bit of it. Yancey, the Alabam
ian who "fred the Southern heart anC
precipitsted IL into a revolution" ha
been since the war broke out first il
London and then in the Richmond Con
gress. He has never smelt gunpowde
since he murdered his uncle. Toombs
Of Georgia, has not only been snugE
housed in Congress, bat actually threat
ened to shoot any Confederate Office
who should attempt 10 busn his cotton
in accordance with the resolution of th,
Confederate Congress. Slidell, BeDia
min, JEFF Davis, Stephens, Gov. Harris
Gen. Barrow, and most of the origina
sOoessionists, have sedulously kept u o
harms way. They handle large salaries
as Of yOre, but muskets never. In thi
city, and in Davidson and adjacent coun
ties, il is notorious that the men VIII
were active in fomenting the rebellion
and in making inaammat-ry speeches t
urge others TO tho field, never had an,
thing to do with the army save TO hol
lucrative contracts. We could name q
least oae hundred cases in this very city
but it would be %superluous. The Sen
tinel's observation is tho very reverse q
! the truth.
