What his Southern Friends Think of
Him

The following J, extracted from letter found in
q rebel mailbag recently captured near shepherds
town, Virginia 1t is from the pen Of Colonel Dun
ham, late a New York Democrat who had the
pluck to 60 South, to his friend Bishop Of Brook
lyu. He claims still to be Unonist and is fight
ing to restore the Union, under the rule Of jeff
Davis or some other Southern gentleman. He
say:
Let M tell you, my dear boy, You may pray for
peace until hell freezes oycr-that is peace with tho
restoration Of the Union-and there will be no peace
Mar Is relentless, and Concordia is deaf There
can bee peace until Black Republicans and Aboli-
tionists are .enced aud reduced 70 an equality or,
AT least level with the niggers they claim a. their
equals. Let your Chicago Convention nominate
Mr. Davis for the Prcsidencv-and know major
ity Of the delegates would vote for him if they
dared-and on hi, election YOU can and will have
peace. Of course You will not do thi.. The next
best thing YOU can do is to nominate and elect Nc
Clcllan. The South don't regard him a. a military
genius a. the Northern press would make the pco-
pie believe they d. but they believe him to be what
was once called a Northern man with Southern
principles. His election, my dear boy, would do
much to pacify and concate the South. We are
satisfied that if you elect him. the right of Secs
sion and independence would be acknowledged, and
that terms Of rcconSwcton would be offered which
We might with honor accept. ! don't say, however,
they would be accepted
1t is my opinion, as it j. the opinion Of President
Davi. and the leading men of the South. that the
war must continue until one side or the otheri sub
iugatcd. The more assistance YOU Democrats rem
der indirectly, the sooner We shall BE- able to van
qush the Abolition hordes. and restore peace and
the Union. 1t may seem paradoticsl. but / assure
You, my boy. we are lighting for Unioa-fghtng to
place the old United States under one Government.
and We hall do II IN such way that no Abolition
baboou will ever again get at the head Of it.
