family has been expelled from the Confeu
crate States that am aware of; but, on the
contrary, the moderation of our Govern
ment toward traitors has been fruitless
theme of denunciation by its enemies and
many well meaning friends of our cause
You say my Government, by acts of Con-
gress, has coniseated tall debtsdue North
ern men for goods sold and delivered" The
truth is, Congress gave due and ample
time to your merchants and traders to de-
part from our shores with their ships,
goods and effects, and only sequestered the
property of our enemies In retaliation for
their acts declaring us traitors, and confis-
eating our property wherever their power
extended, either in their country or our
own. Such are your accusations, and such
are the facts, known of all men to be true.
You order into exile the whole popula-
ton of a city, drive men, women and chill
dren from their houses at the point of the
bayonet, under the plea that it is to the in
terest of your Government and on the claim
that this is an act of "kindness to these fam
lilies of Atlanta" Butler only banished
from New Orleans the registered enemies
of his Government, and acknowledged that
he did it as a punishment. You issue a
sweeping edict covering all the inhabitants
of city, and add insult to the injury heap
ed upon the defenseless by assuming that
you have done them kindness. This you
follow by the assertion that you will "make
as much sacrifice for the peace and honor
of the South as the best born Southron."
And because l characterize what you call
kindness as being real cruelty, you pre-
sumo to sit in judgment between me and
my God, and you decide that my earnest
prayer to the Almighty Father to save our
women and children from what you call
kindness is a "sacrilegious, hypocritieal ap-
peal"
You come into our country with your ar
my avowedly for the purpose of subjugat-
ing free white men, women and children;
and not only intend to rule over them, but
you make negroes your allies, and desire to
place over us an inferior race, which we
have raised from barbarism to its present
position, which is the highest ever attained
by that race in any country in all time. l
must, therefore, decline to accept your
statements In reference to your kindness
towards the people of Atlanta, and your
willingness to sacrifice everything for the
peace and honor Of the South, and refuse to
be governed by your decision in regard to
matters between myself, my country and
my God. l..
You say "let us fight it out like men,"
To this my reply is, for myself and be-
lieve for all true men, aye, and women and
children, in my country, we will fight you
to death. Better die a thousand deaths than
to submit to live under you or your Gov
ernment and your negro allies.
Having answered the points forced upon
me by your letter of the 9th September, /
close this correspondence with you, and
Notwithstanding your comments upon my
appeal to God in the cause of humanity, L
again humbly and reverently invoke His
aid in defense of justice and right.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,

Portrait of the Rebel Gen. .BubnI
Early.
lFrOm The Griffin (Ga0 REBEL

From The Griffin (Ga.) REBEL
Old Jubal Early, or as General Lee calls
him, his 'bad old man." has won name
during his sojourn in the valley of Virginia
of which he is well worthy. Did you ever
see him? If not, you have missed one of
the greatest curiosities of the war. He is a
man of considerable corpulence, with full
face, which has the appearance of the full
moon when it is at its height in redness.
He is about six feet high, and of immense
structure. His voice sounds like a cracked
Chinese fiddle, and comes from his mouth
somewhat in the style of the hardshell Bap-
tist, with long drawl, accompanied with
an Interpolation of oaths. In winter his
head is encased in net striped woolen scull
cap drawn about his ears, while his body is
contained within the embraces of Virginia
cloth overcoat, striking his heels. His legs
are covered by leggings of the same ma
terial, wrapped from the feet upwards as
high as the knees with white tape. He is as
brave as he is homely, and as homely as any
man you ever saw, except Parson Brown
low, who is said to rival his satanic majesty
In personal appearance. There are many
anecdotes related of Old Jubal, but l can
at present call to memory but one. During
the battles in the Wilderness on one Occa-
sion regiment from South Carolina was
ordered to charge the enemy. For some
reason they faltered. Old Jubal hearing of
it rode up to the head of the column, and
in that popularity of tone for which he
was noted, cried out "Blast you, you got
us into this.damned scrape, and by God you
shall help us out" The regiment was so
cut by the remark that they rushed upon
the foe, driving him from every position.
