Dowell for protection in the resumption
of their treason; but the General informs
them that be does not consider it consis-

guage of the vulgar, that lets them out. ="
Since the destruction Of those treason
mills We have picked up miserable
squeaking specimen of the same genus
published in Auburn, in which the paltry
devil. fairly trembling in his shoes. dis
claims sympathy with the rebellion. and
squalls horribly about the million-and.a-
half " Democrats" Of the North, who are
nat disloval. He counts himself in with
them. 1t won't do. His shanty should
come down. He is traitor, and his
miserable sheet labels him as such in its
every issue. When you see a newspaper

rial denunciations Of the horrid outrages
our brave men suffer at the hands Of
tends like Hog" Winder and Major
Turner-for expressions Of indignant hor-
ror at the atrocious policy openly avowed
BY Wade Hampton. of butchering the men
who become captives by the fortunes of
war. If you do not succeed in discover
ing such proofs Of loyal feeling, make up
your mind that the journal is Of semi
secession proclivities-that it would sell
its country for mess Of party pottage-
and that nothing but consideration Of
inevitable consequences withholds it from
the declaration Of open and avowsd hos
tility 20 the policy Of war upon Treason.
When you hear man expressing the
opinion that our triumphs in the field are
results Of accident rather than the fruits
of skill. aud drawing contrasts between
Grant and Lee, or Sherman and Beaure-
gard, which are unfavorable to our brave
leaders, you may conclude that in his
heart of hearts he really regrets the swift
succeeding victories which are bearing
forward our standards that the narrative
of Manassas or Chickamauga is more
pleasant to his ears than that Of Atlanta
or Charleston. II then you assume that
such man is half traitor, you will not
go far from the mark. For months and
years this has formed the staple Of the ar
gument and the burden of the song Of
these democratic journals, till loyal
men have become sick Of arguing and
loyal editors wearied with contradieting.
The people bore these things four years,
with a patience surprising that Of Job
himself; but the foul murder that struck
at the Lation's heart, was the straw that
broke the cancels back. and the popular
indignation fell like a thunderbolt. They
destroyed from of the face of the earth
the pesnlential presses that had fostered
and encouraged the dsmnable villainy that
illuminated in this horror, and they for
babe their reconstruction. In vain the
murderous dogs clamor to the authorities
for aid and protection to renew their vii
lainy. The military commandant answers
NO ;" and the work of the people re-
mains undistulbed. It is well.
