Z. some, and on partln ne aSKt me Delour ieiI
the sitty to cawl on him at the staff house.
Well gents, disposin of my lode walkedup
| to the staff house and nocked atsevral dores,
and at last found the Govner's offs. The
| Govner riz as I entered and we he'd anuther
hanshaik. He interdooced me to a coupel
| of chaps as was dom up letters and writin
ther very best, as 1 saw they KEEP ther eyes
on him and wurked like yung HOSES. He
| then introduced me to major Baggerly,
spry yung man as strait as an injun and
good eye, and sed he was pryvit SECRETARY.
returned the komplements Of the ceasen to
the major, and told him saw he wurked by
| time as ther was one ov his klocks onto the
mantel peace. He maid a perlite smile and
| askt me to be seeted. You may depend on
| it gents theirs no lost time in that oils. Their
was freedman continaly thrown wood onto
| the fire, rubin the winders, tendin the
| dore, and now and then len the Govner. The
too respekabel littel chaps he'd ther koats
| off and got-to wurkin harder, and my fren
major Baggerly he appeared to be yublcwe-
tus He was in both rooms at wonts and did
sevral things at the saim time. The Govner
writ and clawed and talked. He sed we
now had staff, and he hoaped Mr. Jonson
would throttel the raddicels. l told him l
ThatJ. Davis and them as phit it out agin
the Peece meetins was the wust raddicels

anuther chaw, and jest then the dore opened

was afeard the Ceceders had got to be stitch
good union I'd be counted out. 1t ticcled
him it did, and says he Mr.. Fulps that's jest
what we want tole him 1 had tux his adj
vocait paper till it dyed out, and had mulch
respeks for his judgment, and would like to
hev his vues. That l was discumbumbled,
not KNOWN percisely what l was and I'd
like to be sot rite That l he'd been union
wunst, but it was an onpossebilty for me to
say percisely what was now This ticcled
him moar an moar. !. he'd no one to wink at,
bat winked to myself, and SEE to myself
old boss purceeC,.. mout have winked to
the two littel chaps as wer at wurk, or at the
freedmun, but they wer two bizzy or two
skeered to talk motifs. Mister Pell purceed-
ed SEE he Mr.. Fulps, the true men in the
south is them as fit it out, and the true men
| rem the fite Eff we ken only put down the
union men at the south and git Jonson to
| turn his bak on the blak republicans, sukcess
will be ours. But to do this, seq he, we must
maik believe that we are the best unions,
and that Mr. Jonson's northern fens are rad
dcels The south, seys he, will git her own
agin eff we can do this, and eff so be we kant
have our beelovid Konfederasy we can at
least rool the country, kepe our beelovid
Davis frum bein punished, hev all the leadin
| suthen patrits pardoned, and maik ourselves
masters of the spiles and the offises as long
as we live Now mine you, SEE he, Mr.. Fulps,
the true men south is them as fit it out and
the true men north is the kopperheds as en-
/ curidged u.s. And he askt me to norate ac-
cordin at Racket Holler.
l tell you, gents, got hotter and hotter as
he purceeded, but l swallered and bOare it.
| The Govner he rubbed his hans and sed
Mister Pell was rite, but major Baggerly he
| looked sorry and sed nothin. But gents
was determun never to leave Rolly without
| speekin my mine SEE Mister Pell it was
rong to brake up the union. He sed it was.
| Sed it was a mOnstous krime. He turned
a littel in his cheer and sed it was Well,
sed l, eff it was krime the men as did it ar
| kriminals, and ought to be punished. And
the men like you, Mister Pell, as opposed
braking it up, and thort the men as did it
wur kriminals, how could you cum in at the
eleventh our, and say the lord is on our eide,
and encuridge these kriminals to fife it out
/ That was poser He sed nothin, and l
| purceeded. Mister Pell, sed l, was rale
union. / was again the war fust, last, and
all the time. l saw no koorse for the Staff,
after Mister Linkun's proclamation, but to
| jine the South. The l<riminals had foced us
to this, but, sez L it was our duty and our
rite to talk every chanse afterwards, to stop
the war and git peace by restorin the union.
| You never preeched, Mister Pell, that man
must kepe on to hell becawse he had started
thar, nor that them as didn't want to go must
| jine him, specially after he had got neerly
| thar and could cea the faims and heer EN-
rorin. He kullered, he did, and turned in
his cheer and the Govner he sithed and
hitched his cheer furder frum the fire. Now,
SEE l, sur, l don't say the Ceceders amt honist.
A good menny ov EN- has repented, and
could konfidens EN- in offs eff it wur safe and
rite to do it jest now-I meen the honist
wons. But it STAINS to reeson that the men as
broak up the government amt the men to
bid it up agin. And eff stitch as them, Mister
Pell, and stitch as you, noed your places and
wished well to your pore country, and noed
as you ought to noe, that every stitch person
elected in the South maiks dead wait agin
restorin the union, you'd hide your heds and
say nOthin. Andy Jonson's no fool, SEE l.
He noes his frens, and he'll look long time
among stitch as you, Mister Pell, before he
finds elm. Tie south, SEE l, and the north,
SEE l, ought to be blotted out ov the dixshu-
nary Jest stitch talk about what the south
shall hev, and what the north shant hev, has
ruint the country. All spiles and all offises
as Gums frum not bein for the hole country
is deadly injurious. If you cant be man for
the nation be no man at ALL
With that he riz, and sed he behaved he'd
be goin. But l had a word moar for him.
SEE Mister Pell when do you expect to
start the Advocait agin I? My supscripsun
wernt quite out when the paper stopped, and
I'd like to noe. The Advocait was rite poplar
at Racket Holler till it got to groanin and
prayin for j. Davis, and the moar it praid
and the moar it groned the moar the lord ap-
peered to desert him. The witch of endor
mite as well have praid for Saul as for stitch
peopel to hev praid for Davis. This fetched
him. SEE he MIR. Fulps, stopped the Ad-
vocait and started the Cent;nel SO as eff it
pleesed the lord to let me steel a march on
pore sinners. The Advocait was so hard on
sinners to which when they subscribed to it
and red it they didn't like it, and they noed
it by its naim as bein survigus upon EN-, but
the Centinel konteins mutch gospel truth
and steels upon EN- onawares. l expect as
menny konverts from the teechins of the
Centinel IS Of the Advocait. Thar jined
