WHAT THE SOUTH Is DOING.

"Peace hatin its victories no less renowned
than. war; said the poet, aud never was
truer word penned by poet or by prophet
Yes, peace hath victories harder 10 Win than
any gained by FIRE, or sword, more glorions,
too, more fruitful in results, requiring more
heroisul, demand ing more sacrifices. evoking
qualities that had lain dormant, andfaciilties
whose existence was not even suspected.
These glorious victories are being gained in
every Southern State day after day, steadi-
ly, quietly discomfort. disorder and repin-
ing are put down, prejudiees are pushed to
the wall, prepossessions are routed, and fall
lacies are scattered to the winds. The hero
who last year stormed the "imminent deadly
breach" now guides the plough, or handles
the pen; be who dug in the trenches, now
labors in the furrows; be who set a squad
ron in the field now organizes his band Of
laborers, and boldly enters the lists against
fate and fortune with dsingular nnanimity,
reminding one, indeed, of the movement of
ON army of veterans. The Southern people,
at the conclusion of the war, wheeled into
line and quietly took up the new positions
assigned to them by circumstances. They
lost not moment; there appeared to be no
hesitancy, no indecision. The eye of the
historian, in glancing over that epoch, will
scarcely find d transition period, for they no
sooner dropped the instruments of war than
they seized those of labor. 1t was natural
to expect that the loosening of tile strain
upon their energies would have been follow
ed by collapse, that with the passing away
of that season of excitement fatal reaction
might have set in, and that period oflaW,
less anarchy might have followed the break
mp Of the Confderacy. 1t was natural to
expect it, for such effects have invariably
followed such causes in other periods and
among other people, but here is the wonder,
nothing of the kind occurred down South
There was no mental prostration. The
courage that had sustained them during q
four years struggle succumbed not even
when hope went down; there vas no tacit
apostacy for their faith in the simple creed
of freedmen. Selfgoverement was not less
earnest or apparent because so many of
their compatriots died martyrs to that
belief. Y
Not in history is there an instance Of
such dignifed acquiencence to power with
out compromising principle, and forbearance
under oppression without sanctioning It by
sycophancy. No men ever made such a
sacrifice to country as the Southern men
are making now not those who, like Wink
elried, died upon the field to "make way for
liberty not those who, unable to look upon
their bleeding country, sought what the
patriot can never find in exiIe--obliyion of
his woes. True, life is costly sacrifice,
md exile ia q perpetual grief; bit to oar.
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1865-09-13

mind, he suffers more and sacrifices more
who offers up feelings, prejudices, affections
hates upon the altar of his country; who
with stern endurance, waits ard Waiche
through the night Of sorrow, upheld by th'
remembrance Of what is past and the hop'
of what is to come; who endures indigni
ties, privatioas, contumely and misrepresen
tations for her sake, and turns with strong
heart and patient purpose to the work be
fore him.
To have done thisi the great glory o.
the Southern people. And already we heal
Of towas rising fsom their ashes, of bridges
repaired, and railroads in running order, al
ready the hum of busy industry resounds
throughout the land, trade revlves, com
merce lifts her dropping head, and Peace
hath gained another victory.
No time, as we have said, has been lost
in despair or inactlon and none in murmur
ing; but, most notable of all deserving
special mention and of highest praise, is the
fact chat no recriminations have furnished
the glory of the struggle; that among the
leading men Of the South not one has sought
to exculpate himself at the expense Of an
other; not one has shifted the responsible
ty of failure on another; not one has sought
to detract from another's fame or dim the
brightness of another S glory. This is some
thing to be proud Of; this IS nober far than
any victory; this reveals q holiness Of ma
tional character which we would have never
known but for defeat
0 brave New World F
That hath such people in it
People who have given the world lessons
Of heroism in war, and of wisdom in peace
Of magnanimity in victory, and of dignity
in defeat. Mankind has gained by their
loss; the world is richer for their failure,
They have demonstrated the possibility Of
untiring enthusiasm and common sense;
they have shown how perfectly the practi.
Cal qualities that lie at Che base of sound
national character harmonic with that
chivalric sense Of honor which is its high.
est beatty, they have nroyed that courage
is not Incompatible with prudence, and that
genius ZOE war Gun CONSIST Win taleut
for work.
Let them go and prove to the, world how
many sided patriotism is, how many ways it
has of working, and how many forms it can
assume. Let them prove to the world that
patriotism can weld the scythe as well as
tie sword, and, handle the spade as well as
the bayonet, that she can assert herself with
machinery as well as with artillery, and
spend herself for the prosperity as well as
for the glory Of a people.
This is the work before the Southern peo-
pie, this is the noble but Iaborious task to
which they have devoted themselves. What
they have already accomplished is an earnest
of complete success proof that they will
leave no unfinished lesson to the future.
