postsrity as the NEST wicked and Infamous
King ,ha, ever ruled tho French people
II General Strong wishes his name coupled
with that Of the cruel Preach King, he has
fallen upon the right PLAN the bare recon-
mendallon Of which, has already stamped
him, In the opinion Of all honest men, as
the most inhumau aud noudlsh of all liy-
ing creatures. But why does General
Strong wish to see the people Of Eastern
Texas, uparmed and deienceless as they
are, treated Ms General Sherman treated
the people OF South Carolina during the
war when they were organized aud in arms
against the United States; what motive had
4 he for making that recommendation to the
Congressional Committee hid II spring
from natural thirst for blood, and de-
light In seeing women and children wan
dering over the cougtry, houseless and
I homeless; or was It cupidity that induced

/ not knowing do General Strong nn act Of
injustice, but We are strongly tempted to
believe that the solid money said 10 DO
in Texas, and the desire 10 lay hands upon
some Of il, was what induced him TO wish
the war renewed, and campaign made
against the people Of Eastern Texas
General S,anly had testified that "the peo-
pie Of Texas were in comfortable crcum-
stances, snd had more "solid money than
any other State; this was enough to excite
the oupiIity of Strong, and straiGhtway he
insists tLatR campaign should BE made
against the people of Eastern Texas to i'm
prove their temper and gcEerosity.
The war must be renewed, the land must
be again drcnchci in blood, Texas must be
laid in waste, says General S,rsng, because
ithe people are in comfortable circum.
stances" and have solid money, the taking
Of which from the owners would improve
"their temper and generosity" Magnani-
nous General Strong; pious General Strong
the people Of Texas owe you a deep debt Of
gratitude for the Christian-like method
which you have recommended for the i'm
provement of their temper and generosity
Rest easy General, your reward may bt
withheld from you in this life, but in tina
which lies beyond the grave, you will b'
fully rewarded for your Kind intentions
toward the people of Eastern Texas. Blu
we advise Gen. Strong 10 60 slow, and if h
takes any stock in the campaign he Wishei
to see made against the people of Eastern
Texas, let it be on o credit; he had better
invest his surplus cash in some other en-
,erprse, for all that he puts into his favor
ite campaign will be sure to come to grief
the campaign will never be made. Prcsi'
dent Johnson and General Grant will new
er act OH the advice of such n man as Gen.
Strong. The men, women and children of
Eastern Texas will not only be permitted
to live in comfortable circumstances but
TO increase their piles of ''solid money" in
perfect safety, let them but continue as they
now are true and loyal to the old flag that
once more floats over united and happy
reople, flag that is emblamatical of Union
and greatness; letus all be true to this flag
and we may laugh to fcorn all our SANDER.
ers and defamers.
President johnson, Mr.. Seward, General
Grant and the great mass of the northern
people wish us well; let us strengthen theil
hands against NIL the enemies Of our com
mon country, whether domestic or foreign
The whole country has a common destiny
liberty in the North, can never survive its
destruction in the South; when one section
shall permanently cease to be free, liberty
will have persisted in the other, in this
consists our hopes of the pcrmanency and
stability Of free institutions in the United
States. 1t is but natural that the restora
ton of peace should be opposed by those
men, who but for the war, would have forever
remained in poverty and obscurity;suddenly
elevated above the heads Of the people, and
far above their real merits, wish to see the
war continued, and are using every effort
to involve the people of the South in anoth,
er war with the United States. But the
true people both North and South, the rank
and file who do the real fighting when any
is done, are beginning to understand these
gentlemen, and will rally to the support oil
the President in his effort to restore peac
and harmony in the North, south, East and
West that he will be successful we have
never doubted; such evil disposed persons
as Thad. Stevens & Co., may for time i'm
pede his efforts to quiet the country, but in
the long run he will succeed, and in few
years, tho war and its cause, will alike be
forgotten. ....
