ANOTHER REBELLION The Richmond
editor, Pollard, has Just completed his South
ern History of the War. lie maintains that
the South might have been successful but for
the blunders of its leaders, and that in the
next struggle she can win her independence.
He says the rebels will bide their time for
another effort, and adds:
8 Civil war, like private quarrels, are like
lv to repeat themselves, where the unsuc-
cessful party has lost the contest only through
accident or inadvertence. The Confederates
have gone out of this war with the proud,
secret. deathless, dangerous Consciousness
that they are the better men, and that there
was nothing wanted but change in set of
circumstances and a fiercer resolve to make
them victors.;
Ia this sentence we have the fruits of ''my
policy" 1t has taught the South that they
were only whipped by accident; that they
deserve great deal of conciliaton and no
punishment, and has left the influence of bad
men in that section absolutely as great as
ever. Within two years the opportunity
which Pollard seeks may be offered. ST.
