ing up their arms until the great battle Is
over and the victory won, We will not
make Mctious complaints Of any body, We
do not, by any act of ours, intend to give
aid and comfort to the rebels on their allies
here and at the North, Therefore we have
kept silent when We have sometimes seen
things we did not Nlly approve, AS long
as our authorities, both civil and military,
give evidence Of honest intentions, whatever
the result, we will have no quarrel with
them, The great point and object with all
honest men ought to be to aid in preserving
the life Of the government All else il sec
ondary.
With thcs. views we know we will re
ccivc respectful attention when we suggest
that certain changes in policy or reforms are
needed in this department, The enemy has
gone, for all time to come we hope, and we
all have time to calmly look around Spring
and the commencement Of q new aCricul-
tural year have returned Orr farmers and
our people have had dreadful experience
for many months We hope and believe Il
brighter future await. them. This will,
however, depend on the policy and the action
Of those in authority in our midst
The first point to which We invite the
earnest attention Of our authorities is the
absolute necessity Of preserving and protecting
the rails and Fences Of the country Without
this is done there can be no crops made
More oricrS are not sufficient for this pur-
pose We have had plenty Of them. Obcdi-
cnce to those orders must be enforced. So
long as the authority issuing the order seeks
to reach the identical soldier who destroys
the property, 50 long will the evil be re-
pcatcd. The only sure remedy is to hold
the brigade, regiment, or company comman-
der responsible for the acts Of those under
him IL can find out who committed the
wrong, and rather than he punished him
