/ Gentleman should be Recognized
Wherever Found

Gentleman should be Recognized
wherever Found.
The following is from the pen of
Gen. D. H. Hill in the August number
of THE Land we Love-
We have been asked by lady friend
how we ought to treat "our late enc
mics. As her letter is without sig
nature, we suspect that there may be
some tenderness in the inquiry, and
will therefore deal tenderly with the
subject.
1t IS q safe rule to recognize the
gentleman and man Of honor wher-
ever found, Of whatever creed, sect, or
nation. We can not understand how
men, who have fought each other
squarely and brayely, can continue to
hate each other after hostilities have
ceased. But we can understand how
good men of both sides can loathe, with
bitter loathing, house burners, thieves,
and marauders We can understand
the contempt honest men feel for the
cowardly miscreants who kept out OF
the manly fight to trample upon and in
suit the weaker party after the hight
was over We would remind our lady
/ friend that if the United States army
/ had in it Sherman, Turchin and Butler
/ it had also Mcclellan, Buel, Reynolds
Sykes, Gibbon, Stone, Stoneman
/ Franklin, etc, who conducted war up
OH civilized principles and had no de
! fllment-of torchesIand silver spoons
upon their hands. We have heard :
story ofthat great stateeman and juris'
/ Judge Butler of South Carolina, which
NAV assist the fair lady in coming tC
decision. When%he judge, then Mr.
B., was practicing law, son of th'
Emerald Isle came into his office anC
used some very harsh language, in re
gard to charge made against him by
the firm of Butler d Co Mr. B. indig
nantly ordered him out of the Office
The man instantly obeyed, but return
ing he put his head in the door anC
said "Misther Butler, You're :
iintleman, aud will niver hurt tn,
/ likes ov YOU hut if You'll send you
partnership out here, I'll break livery
bone in his BODY The Southern
people have no ill-feelings toward tn,
. soldiers aud true gentlemen among
their late foes, but we can never thinl

day. Their bindery, which We did no.
know that they had before,is com

mems of their worl, we saw, nobody
need 90 any father than Jackson tc

We called at the lIi5sissippian Office

to see the Penitentiary, hut our
old friend, the Superintendent Major
Geo. L. Donald, of Clarke county
I We found him, as we expected to, at
tending to his business. He is bring
! ing order out Of chaos, and under his
/ uperintendency the State prison, we
/ suspect, will soon be but little burden
/ some W TIE 0uaue- lie has alIrau,
/ reduced some of the expenses, and is
preparing to cut off more. Gov Hum
/ phreys, as a general in the Confeder-
ate army had opportunities to from &
/ correct estimate of Major Donald 5
/ worth, and when he wanted good man
/ to attend 10 public business he sent
! for him, well knowing that whatever
he undertook to do, he would do right
to the best OF his ability, which is
1 equal to almost any duty a man Of his
/ years might be called to. We like to
have the opportunity of speaking well
/ of this gentleman. He is an East
I Alississippian, and We have known him
/ from his boy-hood. He was, in his
writer's family, and has always been
kindly remembered by us.
The friends Of Maj J. A. Horn, in this
county, where he resided many years,
and elsewhere in the East, will be pleas
/ ed to know that we meet him apparent
ly in good health He is in the Audi
! tors office
We paid a visit on Sunday morning
to the military headquarters Yes, it
is true, we went on purpose to make a
! friendly call on Yankee, and that s
the honest truth Major Norton, COM
manding the postnow ut Jackson, was
here some time, and while here, we
came to know him and to like him. If
any of our Jackson friends should be
| thrown in contact with him, we beg to
assure them that they will find him a
gentleman born and by education and
association Ifall military men in the
South had the same good feeling for
their fellows, and the same disposition
now to make the military subordinate
to the civil law, the restoration of good
feeling would be vastly promoted
