LETTER TE0H GEN. BTmaaRr-uls VIEWS
on TEE Pouuou SuUauo>.-Tbe following
letter from the Rstel Cen. Bcauresard is
Published, addressed to the editor Of the
New Orleans Times
NEW oElrAS-, March ~. 1867.
Dear SIR You have done me the honor 10
call for my opinion relative so the action Of the
South under the Military hin. Having seldom
taken any part in politics, 10 not feel well
qualified TO advise On SO 1aomentous question;
nevertheless, as the same desire 10 obtain NY
views has been manifested from various QUAR-
tiers, shall not shrink from the responsibility
OF expressing them, IL the hope that they may
tend 20 compose the public mind. So Justly
alarmed at this moment. Ia my humble opinion
We have but one Of two things TO do-resist or
submit The first Is inalmissible in our pam
fully exhausted condition. Four years Of des-
perate war have taught Us that the argument
Of the sword can no longer he IesJrted to by Us
20 redress our grievances. We must, therefore
submit, but with that calm dignity becoming
our manhood and lost Independence Havin
been overpOwered in the late struggle We can
submit TO the harsh aud un-Cner0us terms Of
cur oonquerors without dish0nor, AMI we must
adopt the least Of two evils. 4 futile resistance
would only cause our rivets 70 De driven cloter.
We must, then, acg uiesce OF leave the Gun
Try. But We love too dearly tie land Of our
birth to abandon it in lts hour Of sorlst trial
c Should avoid, also, bringing il, by internal
llssensions, to the condition cf p0o- Mexico and
the unfortunate South American republics.
With regard 70 the suffrage OF the freedmen,
however Questionable II mas be at present It Is
an element Of strength for the future; if prop
cry handled and directed We shall defeat our 1
s1r elsafles with their oWn weapon. The negro I
= sHOuiheFn born; with a hitle education and
some property qualifications he csn be made to
'aAe suihclent interest il the affairs and pres
Pefity Of the South TO insure an intelligent vote
II our future political contests With the North
"a protective tariff, internal improvements, &c, |
iAe freedmen Of the S0nth viii side with the |
whites Of the South and West, and they viii
mus Contribute TO give us back the influence we /
formerly had in the councils Of the nation Our
people Should understand that the rsdicals can
feinain IN power only so long as the public ex-
element Is Kept up. As with the iurb;i waters
o. the mississippi River the sedimeutary parti-
cles s-e Kept up al the surface only 60 long as
the waters are II motion, the instant the cur
rent IS checked these particles fill 10 the bottom.
Thus It Will be with the ralic4lg when ne,ce
and virtue are restored Q. the oountrr Tie
conservatives viii then take the rqi,s =, -,
own hands, and tie constitutional l1,rs of -
land will once more prevail.
Respectfully, C. T. BEAuEuoARb

LETTER IRON GEN. BzrElaaRr-HIs VIEWS
on TEE PolTIou SuU'rIoN.-The following
letter from the Retel Cen. Bcauregard is
Published, addressed to the editor Of the
New Orleans JyUry
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1867-05-02

In Salem, Massachusetts, during a thun-
ider-shower, a few evenings since, young
man was prostrated by the lightning while
walking in the street. At the time he had
a steel-framed umbrella in his hand, with a
wooden handle, the frame of which was
completely riddled and thrown to the oppo-
site side of the street. The breast of his
coat was somewhat torn, and the wristband
Iof his flannel shirt hung only by shred,
while the sleeve was partly torn open.-
What is more strange, on the shoes which
he wore were steel buckles, apparently un-
touched, while the top of one of his stock
iings was literally unraveled. The young
man was not injured in the least, only ex-
Eperiencing, on the following day, little
lnnmbness inone of his hands. All he re-
members OF the affair is, that he saw large
ball of fire. When he reached the store
where he is employed, and whittier he di-
lrected his steps as soon as he recovered
sufficiently, he jocOsely asked them if they
ever saw an umbrella struck by lightning,
when, to his surprise, his attention was
called TO his taLtered garments, and he, for
the first time, realized what an escape he
had had. 0s4s9.- ,ssta 5. -,7os n y,s, og
