VERY UNFORTUNATE.

The Southern people are slhBuiafiy
unfortunate. They struggled for four
years to get out Of the Union, and
couldn't. They have struggled for the
last two years to get into the Union, and
can't. They we're not allowed TO go out,
and are not allowed to come in. Where
thew are, it is difficult TO determine.
They are neither in the happy land, nor
in the other country where happiness is
supposed TO unknown. We are not
theologian enough to discuss the subject
of that intermediate state called purga-
tory. We may, however, borrow the idea,
and maintain that whether there is, or Is
not a trial state for departed souls, there
is, certainly, such a state for departed
States in the country. Ten States of the
South are States, aud are not States.
They are in, or out, TO suit the views OF
politicians who have axes TO grind, beef
TO chop, and millions to steal Souls
must be prayed out of purgstory. Who
proposes to pray the South out Of its
purgatory9 Mr.. Sumner is q rheiori-
clan, and could pray in diction which
would appear beautiful on paper; but
his prayers take the wrong direction.
Many others could pray. Changing the
photography, everybody on the other
side of Mason and Dixon's line can prey
And so, the South is not to be prayed
for, but preyed upon.

condition Of neither in nor on" comes
famine. Heaven withheld its showers,
thsearth declined to produce, and hun
ger swept over the whole extent of our
purgatorial domain. Children cry for
bread. widows bewail the sad fate that
drives them TO bed supperless Strong
men, standing with brawny arms under
meath the implying heavens, are help
less as babes to struggle with the DEGREES
Of fate. Manhood, nursed in the school
of toll and adventure, and rocked in the
stormy cradle Of war, is melted to tears
in the presence Of hopeless suffering If
bread could be captured as fortress,
the men Of the South would have it for
their wives and babes. They would not
mind the bursting shell, or the storm Of
bullets They would march to vic
tory. stepping to the beatings of an i'm
pulse stronger than love of country
or the destinations Of glory. Bread for
my hungry ones at home, borne upon a.
banner, and shouted along the lines,
would prove battle cry that no human
obstacle could withstand. But bread is
not thus to be won--valor charms not
the earth, nor quickens the seed in its
bosom. The sun and the shower must
come. Well, well, it may not be ever
thus. If man nor government can
pity a people reduced (by their own
folly, if you win TO want, time,

damns the souls of tyrants, may, will
