successful Concert and harmony are indispensable,
aud without these essential virtues can only anne
pate disaster and inglorous defeat. y,
The vandalism of the northern armies is without par,
se ia the history Of warfare No regard has been paid
TO the rights OF persons Of property They have VIZ
oated the one and ramped upon lac other They nave
arrested and imprisoned private citizens and subeeel
them to every ndignity and outrage; they nave de-
sroyed property that could be of no vane TO them ana
that i'm all previous wars had been respected ward
robes have been broken opeH and the wearing apparel
of the ladies and their children either destroyed or APP
proprated by officers high in rank aud sent TO their
homes In the north. Pianos and valuable furniture OF
al kinds have been boxed up aud removed In many IN
stances aud in others broken up and the pieces scatter
ed about the premises. The most wanton destruction
has marked the progress of the Northern army and the
cities and towns they have occupied exhibit the aoem-
nation of desolaton" Even the lodges of the yenera
ted order of masons broken open and robbed OF
their emblems Jewels and regalia the churches were
shamefuy desecrated the Bibles torn to pieces, and
altered through the streets. Our cities, towns and
untes indicate that they have been cursed by the pre-
5 nee Of heaveR-defyns and helLdeserving rsbble
Is not marvellous, in view of all these things, that
we could so long have remained ia association with such
a people? This war has exhibited them in their true
characteristics murderers and robbers They have dis
REGARDED all the rules Of civilized warfare Their prs-
Oners We tike entitled to NO consideration, ana II
they received their deserts they would be regularly IN
dired and tried for violating State laws and suffer
the penalties which those laws annex TO their crimes

the war ends bright aud glorious future awaits US
