Confessions Of James A. SeddOn. the Rebel
Secretary OF War

Confessions Of James A. Seddou. the Rebel
Secretary OF War
The Tribuas prints letter by the Rebel
Minister of War to the Rebel Qlartermas
ter General, A C. Myers.
II seems that some uuruly farmers in
North Carolina had given evidence Of
their uawillingness 60 be pluuderei in the
name Of JEFF Davis, and we're msking all
possible effgrt to avoid Confederate taxa
ton, by coneealing their grain and destroy
ing the evidences Of the amount they pro
duced. These farmers, living in the West
ern part OF the State, are unwilling in the
first place to have their produce impressed
BY the Rebel Government. Secondly
they think furnishing teams TO haul il
TO the nearest depOts is adding insult to
injury. They therefore rebel against re-
ceiving money worth but FIVE cents On the
dollar for their labor.
Under these circumstances, James A
ssddon, says to General Myers, "Now
that our every energy is taxed to the ut
most to subsist our armies, it will not do
to be defrsuded OF this much needed tax.
You will therefore issue your order to
these salky, caviling fellows to deliver
their one tenth Immediately. If they do
not do It, inform them that you will i'm
pgess teams, do it for than and then levy
upon them for payment Of transportation.
If necessary, force must be employed. Let
striking examples be made Ofa few Of the
rogues and think the rest will respond
promptly"
TIE sum and substance Of sll this is that
the spirit Of discomfort with Rebel rule is
growing stronger day By day. So strong
hiss it grown in portions of North Carolina
that some Of the refractory farmers we're
sent to the Rebel military prisons st At
lAnts,, Itis no doubt these men whe are
said by SeddOn to cavil with the Rebel
Government They complain not only that
oae-tenth Of all they raise is impressed but
also that twice, thrice this amount is often
taken.
The ultimste RESULT Of this growing dis
affection in the South will be the over
throw Of the terrible despotism Of Jeffer-
son Davis.

FFcuch view OF the hebeihons
Those distinguished Frsnohmen, Count
Gaspsrin, the author of the remarkable
book, entitled aThe Uprising Of 8 Great
People" /" Augustine Cochin, the author Of
the abolition Of Slavery" and Henri
Martin, the Historian Of France, have writ
ten an answer to the letter addressed to
them by the New York Publication Society
and adopted by the Great Union Mass
Meeting of the Union League Of that city
on the 1lth Of April, 1868 These three
men are of eminent worth and stand
ing. Their opinions are, therefore, i'm
portant. We make extracts:
SLAVERY TEE ISSUE oR THE WAR.
The reply, which is quite lengthy, opens
with the admission that Europe has mis-
apprehended the nature Of the American
rebellion, and that thus the South has
hoped for the aid which it needs from
Europe, while had the truth been realized
in the Old World, the South would not
have long dared 10 afront the indignation
Of Civilization.
The writers then proceed to consider the
reasons why this indignation has been
withheld. This inquiry is answered in the
following manner: First, Europe doubted
whether Slavery WAS the real cause Of the
conflict, and it wss objected that Mr.. Lin
ooln and his friends were not Abolitionists,
Their programme went no further than to
stop the extension Of Slavery, and shut it
out Of the Territories. But, ask the wri-
ters Was this notbing2 Was it not, in
fact, everything Who could have fore
seen that, on the appearance Of such pro-
gramme, of 3 progress so unexpected, of sn
attack so bold upon the policy which was
lowering and running the United States,
the friends Of liberty would not all have
hastened to applaud Was net this the
time to cheer and strengthen those who
we're thus entering on the good path ? Was
it not due 10 urge them on In their liberal
..,da,oiaa so fkaA .N-~-A--s ---r s-A-Ssj
they should take the second, and 90 on to
the end? Ought not that which terrified
and dismsyed the champions Of Slavery to
rejoice the hearts Of its sdverssries
Your letter, gentlemen, puts in bold re.
lief the reasons which hindered Mr.. Lin
coin from adopting, at the outset, an abo-
lition policy. The President could disre-
gard neither his oath Of office nor the Fed
eral Constitution he had also to keep in
mind the opposition which plan of emsn-
cipstion would encounter in the loyal
States. The head Of great government
cannot act with the freedom of a philoso
pher in his study. In simple truth, Mr..
Lincoln should be accused neither Of timid-
ity nor indifference.
