We are told that the persons lef
lbehind in charleston were poor, old
decrepid people, embracing men, wo
men and children, upon whom the
burning Of Charleston would weigl
with intolerable heaviness. Gov
Brough says that the rebellion
Originated in Charleston harbor anL
the city of that name" Is there any
thing in the nature Of "Charleston
harbor and the city OF that name
calculated more than any other place
to generate "rebellionl" Are the
poor people of Charleston, who did
not leave. the city when our army en-.
tered it, responsible for the rebellioni
Did they originate il9 We appre.
hend not. II, then, the harbor Of
Charleston did not originate the rebel
lion, and ii the city Of Charleston did
not originate it, and if the poor peo.
| pie, the men, women and children,
did not originate it, why should our
army wreak vengeance on thems Will
the wreaking Cf vengeance on them
render it impossible for rebellion to
DO again set on foot in this country
alter the present one shall have been

ed that it will have any such affect
The suggestion that such vengeance
should be inflicted on inuocen. p ar.
ties and on inauimate things, can
alone bo prompted BY persons the
most maglignant, Impractical and in
hnmane. Ii these men would thus
deal with poor, doJrepid old men,
women and children, and inanimate
objects, what would they not do with
the rebels, should they lay down their
arms and avow a willingness to re.
turn to their duty in the Union!
They would not receive theln with
Clemency. To them they would mete
out the most barbarous treatment; and
these same political charlatans bias.

poor mother, with her babe clingiug
to her breast, deprived Of a homo and
of shelter. This is the method by
which he would strengthen the love
for the "old flag" What love would
spring up in the breast OF a wnmau
lor a flag, under the folds of which
her all OF home and shelter should be
allowed to be consumed by fire!
Lieut.. Gov. Anderson said she could
not defend any officer who ordered
the putting out of that ti,e," where.
by the houses and shelter OF poor
women and children were saved
We don't think he could. lie has
not been noted for being very success
ful in defending anybody and he
can't play Hamlet, either. 1t wa;
