ThE LOST CAUSE REGAINED. has been writing another work entitled "The Lost Cause regained." The following ex- tracts illustrate his idea.
 They were the wise men at the south who understood at the beginning that sla- very was the most unimportant object in the war as matter of property; that the abolition of slavery was not to be greatly regretted as such-a small, incomplete evil but it was to be deplored as an introduc- tion to the terrible and greater question of negro equality, and such political recon structlon as we see attempted to-day. They saw far ahead who defended the condition of slavery and courted it in the war and throughout it's term of existence as the barrier to the father and vaster question of races in America. Slavery was an outwork of the controversy; but the great battle is yet to be fought. The war has eviscerated and enlightened the true question, and the south prepares to con- test it with advantages she never had be- fore. When she defended slavery by her arms she was single handed, and encoun- tered the antipathies of the whole world now, when she asserts the ultimate su- premacy of the white man, she has not lost her cause, but merely developed it's higher significance. and in the new contest she stands with firm political alliance in the North, with the binding instincts Of race in her favor, and with the sympathles of ali generous and enlightened humanity drawn upon her.
