Hoods charged ol "studied and ungener'

stream ot cant from the muuths Of the
rebel chiefs aud military leaders, os welt
as from all their friends at the North aud
Ia Europe.
The war hus been described rs "Cra-
tricidul, "suuguinary," inhuman," "tcr-
ribc." or course II II. All war 10.
/ Aud how fearful, therefore, is their re-
spouslbllity who begin il. The copper.
head orators and papers are very fond of
ths strain. Ii Sherman wins victory,
or sherman, or Grant, or Faragut,
these people fail TO shedding tears
aud bcmoaning the failures made wrcth.
ed, Tears enough must indeed bo shed,
hearts broken, aud homes desolatc, 30
! long az the war lasts. Why, then, do
not these canting muwworms entrcat
their friends, tho public enemies, to lay
dow their arms and give US peuccl Ii

wretchcd families, lot II urge the deludc d
men who nre resisting the Government
which never harmed them, 10 submit to
the laws which they themselves helped
10 make.
When the naughty leaders of the rebels
I threatened the country before the attack
on Sumter, when they declared that it
they could not have their own way they
would overthrow the Government and
dissolve the Union, why did not these
plaintivo Cupperheads hiss them down,
aud recount u them the horrors Of the
war which they were provokingl ln-
stead ofthat they told tho friends of the
| Uuon aud the Constitution that II they
did not submit to the menaces OF those
Il leaders, they, the loyal men, would b.
responsible for the bloodshed. That is
to say, if you awake and find rutlian
with his hand at your wiie's throat, y0u
are guilty, il in the struggle she is hurt.
i That is the contemplate cant which
crops out in the Chicago Platform, aud
in all the horanguts ana papers OF the
Chicago party, The war is shocking,
they say, and ought to stop. Certainly
it ought, aud when those who began II
choose to stop fighting, il will stop.
Meanwhile the American people will
fight them--spelling fight as Sheridan is
reported to spell Il, "i.i-g.h.l, kilr'-
until they choose to stop.
Il General Sherman snys TO the Mayor Of
A Atlanta what every true heart IN the
land confirms ard approves:
"War is cruelty aud you can not refine
il, and those who brought war on our
country deserve all the curses and male
dictions a people can pour out---You
might as well appeal against the thunder
s,srm as against the hardships OF war.
They are inevitable, and the only way
the people Of Atlanta can hope once
more to live in peace and quiet at home,
is to stop this war, which can alone be
done by admitting that It began in error
aud lie perpetuaIed 10 pride-Now that
war comes home TO y.u, You feel very
4 difltreut-you deprecaIe It's horrors, but
did not ieei them when you sent ear
loads Of soldiers and ammunition, aud
moulded shell aud shot 10 carry war into
Kentucky and Tennessee, aud deSolate
tn homes OF hundreds aud thousands OF
good people who only ask 10 live IN peace
/ at their old homes and under the Gov
ernmeNt OF their inheritanee-I want
peace, and believe ii can only be reached
through Union and war, and | will ever
, conduct war purely with view to perfect
aud early success" %
