We have heard great deal OF President
Johnsoa's faAeless ARd eonsaaAeaAs iOyaaeT
But A. P. Dostie was infinitely his superior
in pAtriotic fesvor and devotion 70 his country.
II nav not bs remembered that In al the ex-
perience of President Johnson, he never yet
found himself within the rebel lines, and
subject to rebel rnle. How he wonld have
acted IL thus situated we are unable to deter>
mine.
During the war there were thrse classes Of
Union men in the South. Some left for the
North as soon as they could after the COM
menesmens Of the war; and before the milf
tary lines we're drawn. The second class re-
NAMED in the South as long as they could,
and although their attachment to the Union
vas deep, and strong, and heartfelt, and was
unkuown to each other, they nevertheless
had the understanding that ia all the mere
outward displays, they would pretend an
scquiesence in or approval Of the Confederate
Government. Some succeeded IN this course
of deceiving the rebel mons and provost
marshals as to their real feelings up to the
time when they we're happily released IRON
rebel bondage BY the ARRIVAL % Federal
troops. Others again, OF the same class,
wePs1s1ec4sd in their movements a sympa,
thi1srs with the Union, before the loyal troops
could como TO their aid, and wire sent out Of
the Confedesacy, like Fanders, Hubbard,
Jewell. nnd othefs, Of New OrlooAe, or we're
haueedor made 70 mysterioasly disappear.
The third class consisted Of Zach g never
under any circumstances, or ut any time even
pretended to recognize the Confederate Gov
eminent. know of but one man in Lonis-
ana who belonged to this class, and who
came an fully and completely 70 this noble
standard. This man was DR.. Anthony p.
Dostie. One day he was seen making his
wav through an ante.room crowded with con-
federntes, into the office Of the traitor Twiggs
whom he addressed in this manner:
General: Your superior, Jefferson Da
yis, has issued . proclamation which is pubs
lished in this mornings papers, notifying all
Union men, o. alien enemies, u they are
called, to leave the Confederate States for
the North within . time specified. ! cons

sire. but they are the best we can get, and rec
10 It that YOU take sure and irreyersible guar
antics from all rebels for the future, before
You admit them to the councils of the nation.
Let me tell YOU that if according TO the
plan of the Philadelphia Convention, you ad
init TO Congress all who can take the test oath, |
the rebels viii find men enough who will take |
that oath. They will make an entering wedge !
Of them, and they will enact Jays so as to re-
move all restrictions and they will sooa eend |
men who will truthfully represent the most |
iisloyal people in the South.
The war is not yet ended. The army has !
been disbanded, and your gallant soldiers who |
have survived the perils Of war, have return !
ID to their homes The President has de-
dared peace throughout the South; but the |
,rlnson proofs of still continuing war con

peace in the South until he who has fought to
