New England has three Of the six

W. published in our las. Issue an
article headed "Reconssruc.ion;"
since the appearance Of that paper.
We have been repeatedly asked by
different friends. whether We had
penned the article; that it WAS too Sc
we're, in fac, that it had a smack of
despo.ism. and urged a suppression
of free speech. That it was rash and
tended to injure persons who We're
loyal citizens, but entertained differ
ent views on the subject of a settle.
,nent Of our difficulties, and so e1-
pressed their sentiments. As jour
nalist we have invariably studiously
avoided everything which might be
construed in the light Of melting peo-
pie to commit desperate deeds. or to
take hasty measures in any matter
That We are a strong advocate OF a
free press and Of free speech, We be-
ii.ve our readers know, or should
know, if they have perused the Nen,
for any time. In justification of our
course. therefore. we will say that the
article was handed to US by friend,
who has before assisted US when w..
were busily engaged in other matters;
on seeing it, We merely glanced over
the first sheet Of manuscript and
placed it in the hands of the compos-
itor. since then. we have carefully
read it. and admit that portions of it
are altogether too severe, and nigh,
have bad tendency: and not being
rabid on questions ct SO serious ma.
ture as the suppression Of free speech,
We regret that portions Of the three
last paragraphs Of the article have
appeared. yet. outside Of the epithsts
and structures in them, we endorse
the article. These are trying and
troublous times, and it behoves US
to be of but one mind, and to have
but one purpose. Though good and
trus Southern men may. sometimes.
entertain views favorable to recon-
struction. and so express themselves,
yet, we feel confident that were they
to weigh we'll the consequences to
themselves. their ueighbors and their
country. they would Danish the
thought forever from their minds

after deploying. broke to the rear.
forming two lines Of battle. After
changing front to the rear on the
first line, they advanced to the at
tack. First was heard the ecatter-
