TAs Rebellion from . Rebel Point
or View. te
The evidences that the rebellion Is in extre-
mis- are rapidly accumulating JEFF. Davis
now considers his case so hopeless that he dis
cards all hypocrisy, and, for almost the first
time, himself reveals to the world the terrible
of his bogus coniederacy. The
damaging effect Of his recent proclamations,
both at home and abroad, cannot be over
It has been the fashion in Europe
to laugh and sheer at our accounts Of the losses
and the decentralization OF the rebels, and to
pretend that all the reports of the Northern
press and the Union generals were either gross
exaggerations or base fabrcations. What will
these sympathizers with treason say when they
read JEFF. Davis proclamations and the general
order Of General Lees What will they say when
they find that the rebel President himself
acknowledges that his fortunes are even worse
than the Northern journals have ever painted
them? What will they say when they see the
total failure Of the rebellion even from rebel
point of view?
In his proclamation appointing day for fast
ing and prayer JEFF. Davis speaks Of his "sufSer-
ing country" Of tho 'trials and reversesn
which. have befhllen him, and Of "the anguish
and sufFeringsof defeat" In his address to the
soldiers Of the rebel States he describes the
Union forces as ''undnly elated with their
recent successes" and as gathering heavy
masses for general invasion" The
rebel confederacy he depicts in anything
but attractive eolors, and pertinently
asks in his procamation:-"I not the love or
lucre eaten like gangrene into the very heart
Of the land, converting too many among US
into worshippers Of gain, and rendering them
unmindful Of their duty to their fellow
men, to their country and to tLeir
God"' Again, in his appeal to, the peo-
pie, he says:-"The men now absent from their
posts would, if present in the field, suffice to
create numerical equality between our force
and that Of the invaders" What sort OF
confederacy must that be where whole army
Of so-called patriots have deserted their
posts. and where so many Of the people have
become such "worshippers Of gain and 80
"unmindful Of their duty" that just God has
Withdrawn His protection from them and
visited them with His righteous displeasure.
The indiscriminate CONSUMPTION which JEFF.
Davis recently ordered, and the "ordern of
General Lee begging his deserving soldiers to
rejoin the army, ought 70 satisfy foreign eulo-
gizers of the Confederate enthusiasm and dis
cipline that they had better reserve their
praises for those who better deserve them.
What will the sticklers for military etiquette
and'honor think Of the course Of the rebels In
using their captured soldiers before an ex-
change is effectedf What will they think of
the order limiting the furloughs Of Pcmber-
toms men, who cannot be exchanged because
the balance Of prisoners is largely against the
rebels! What will they think Of JET. Davis
general pardon and amnesty to all desert
ers," to all men and officers "absent with.
