Under ther defeat, il cannot be denied That
the Southern people have behaved with great
noblcnoss Before the close of the war men

that the surrender Of the Southern armies

had with reason been anticipated The cuu.,
OF this is twolo!d. The Southern people wa,
always marital people; and however we MAJ,
snecrat their chvalry which, doubtless, wa.
an element both Of weakness and of STRENGTH
We must at least conccdc that they possessed
the virtues as well as the defects Of tho mar
tlal nature. II they were proud, imrctuous,
impatient, they were also brave, enduring,
rcsolutc; and since the war they have proved
that they possess beyond all precedent in his
tory, the soldicrly characteristic, fidelity TO
their pledged word. Never were suci nun.

of the tranquility which he's prevailed since
the surrender
Another hardly slighter cause lies in the
lndc'ous counscls and the moro judcious si-
lencc OF their public men. Heretofore the
ieadin% statesmen of the country have been
generally from the South; and though the
race OF s:l;nts has long passed away from both
the alienatcd sections of the co,.ntrv. il i,
difficult to conccivea course of calnor or more
dignliied discretion t!an has been pursued Lv
Southern pnIlc men in their late unhappy
circumstances. Here and there Pollard
may have vapored somewhat, and his vapor-
'hgs nave always been extensively circulated
at the North. Here too, on our own side of
me inc, some tenth rate newspaper has set
itself up as par crccNcnce, the advocate of
Southern rights; but it is not from such
sources that we learn the course Of Southern
men of note. 1t is from Lee in his COLLEGE
