gan, says in reference to the recent ez
pressions by somO of the FIRST citi1,ns
of Virginir;
"Resistance to the constituted an.
thorites has ceased, the people profess
the strongest desire to live al peace, to
obey the laws, TO resume their indus
tries, and to be henceforth loyal citi-

throw the responsibility upon them; to
bold them to their words; TO say to
them: you promise to do right-now
do it, If then, as Mr.. Segar says, they
do not if they violate their promises
and prove themselves untrustworthy, it
is time enoush-to interpose the supreme
authority. But, TO use the words Of the
President, we must trust the people;
and, for our part, though we foreset
that some abuses will occur in the
Southern States, and many prejudice'
must be rooted out, and much iniorma.

It was their purpose, they said, to Grip
pie and destroy our armies. They had
q right to do so, according to all war
like usages; as good right to starve or
poison as to kill them on the feld.
The report of our own commission
upon this most sorrowful subject, enters
into the details Of these murders. Those
gaunt, ghastly, withered bodies of once
proud and muscular men-those grim
aud horrid skeletons, without flesh,
held together by tendons, and covered
by yellow skin; those shrunk frames
and musoleless legs, with the heads of
giants aud the limbs Of dwarfs; those
living men, starved and frost bitten

the kind of things which lie at lee
door. He and Davis arc, without ques
ton, responsible for these crimes. The
people are we'll aware of this, and by
this time the facts are patent to the
whole civilized world. Lee has been
extolled by sccessionistsi and all kinds
of traitors in the North as a great gen
eral, pink and pattern Of the chival
ry, an exemplary gentleman. But VI
look in vain for the proof Of any one o
these allegations, in the actual life o

They are illusive. A cold-blooded
