IN tnat region teach tn EN- that the war IS tol
negroes and not for white men; they being
white men cannot ympathize with such a
war. OF the final results of this bloody
strife, the author says he never found sim
gle man in doubt in all his journey, over
every part of the South:
"All are prepared to undergo still greater
sacri6ces-they contemplate and prepare to
receive greater reverses, which it is impos-
sible to avert. They look to successful
termination of the war as certain, although
few are sanguine enough to fix a speedy
date for it and nearly all bargain for its last
ing as long as Lincoln's Presidency. AL
though l have always been with the Con
federates in the time of their misfortunes,
yet never heard any person use despond-
Ing word as to the result of the struggle"
Col. Freemantle's book effectually dis
poses of the innumerable falsehoods "the
government has been sending over the wires
for three years, in relation to demoraliz alton
and iDsubordination in the Southern army
He says:
81 have lived in bivouacs with all the
Southern armies, which are as distinct from
one another as the British is from the Aus
trian, and have never once seen an instance
of insubordination."
In like manner he refutes the legion of
lies we have had from the govern m ent tele-
graph about cruelty to the northern prison.
ers of war. He says:
"I never saw a Federal prisoner of war
ill-treated or insulted in any way, although
1 have travelled hundreds of miles in their
company"
The conclusion this impartial aud disin-
terested observer comes to after visiting
every part of the South lis that the North
is engaged in hopeless effort at subjuga-
tion. He says:
"This war is essentially a war of con-.
quest. II ever nation did wage such war, I,
the North is now engaged with determine
ton worthy of more hopeful cause, in en-
deavorlng to conquer the South; but the
more I think of all that have see in tn
Confed crate States of the devotion of tn
whole population. the more 1 feel inclined
to say with Gen. Polk: How can you sub
jugate people like th;s?' aud even sup
posing that their determination were feasi-
BILE plan. 1 never can believe that in the
Nineteenth Century, the civilized world
will be condemned to witness the destruction
of such gallant race"
This is the last sentence of Col. freeman
ties most interesting book. We envy not
the man who has such bad heart that he
does not say amen to the closing lines.-
The man that wishes to see that people ex-
term mated, or subjugatod even, is himself,
at least. villain. The day for calling hard
things by soft names is past. 1t is too late
to tamper any longer with the atrocious
despotism that tramples the States and the
Constitution under the same hoof of lawless
power.
The conclusion of Col. Freemantls will
be the verdict of the. civilized world. We
are in the wrong-even more so if possible,
the gallant Poles. We are making for our
selves a name which will be, and ought to
be, despised by the friends of justice and
liberty all over the world! The day shall
come when our own sons shall despiss US
when new and wiser generation shall say
that we were mad!
