THINK OF IT.-Mr. Rodgers in the
last number of the Independent strikes out strong
for rebellion. As he gives us the hand for "auld
acquaintance sake" viii he permit us to observe
that the is endal. Its issues are determined.
Nothing but evil come OF advocating them
now. If you was good Southern soldier. you
fought manfully, but were conquered. Accept the
arbtrament of the sword the final and absolute
Judge To battle for your belief was manful, to
whine now is despicable. There is not a true
soldier of the Union but will take you frankly,
firmly and honestly by the hand. if kueeing by
the graves of your comrades and beneath the flag
Of our country. you will unite in the resolve that
there shall be buried the cause of strife. To talk
now ofrevving the passions of the contest of arms
is as despcable as Il foolish. 1t is writing
ord that all posterity will brand infamous. Be
Democratic and we differ with you without snimos-
ity, but do not by the hopes you have of hon
ored name, advocate again the issues that made
your sunny south q nelu OF uesOlauOn.

that there are, by a6tuat count rs wagons either
