1t Is best to unite the two principles here
set forth in saving wheat: that's it should
be kept dry and sailed too. Because if it

To the Editor ofths Metropolitan "a:
DEAR SIR an now entering q bon the
preparation of work, to be Published as
soon as completed, that will consist oil a
compilation of accounts and narratives of
outrages and depredations committed by
Federal troops while engaged in the recent
| war "for the restoration and preservation
Of the Union" and summary of the rava-
! ges of the different armies upon their
marches through the South. It will also
contain an epitome Of the most fragrant and
Ubiquitous enactments of Congress subse-
quent to the close of the war, closing up
with detail of the impeachment broil.
I deem it but sheer justice to the mem
DRY of those who are to day swetering IN
der excessive taxation and the numerous
evils growing out Of wicked war and cor
rupt party legislation, that such work
should be handed down to future genera
tons of American people, Let the infamY
of this age and it's evils be perPetuated,
that those who follow US may know who Of
| their ancestors have dishonhored the name
and outraged the spirit of our free institu-
tons, and have desecrated and subVerted
the time honored palladium of American
liberty.
The work will embrace narratives too te-
! dious to enter the chronicle of military
events, which, however, should have their
place in the record of the late bloody strug-
gle. If these should be left entirely to
journals and newspapers, they would nei-
Their be so thoroughly embodied nor so per-
manently recorded as in a volume.
For this compilation contributions are
respectfully solicited from all sections ofthe
country that have been marked by the hos
tile tread of Federal armies during the wal.
I want facts, accompanied by the names of
the officers under whose direction or juris-
diction the outrages and misdemeanors
were committed, when such names can be
ascertained.
Those kind enough to contribute to the
work can forward their incidents and mar
ratives in the shape they desire to have
them published in, or they can give me the
statements merely, and 1 will arrange them.
All communications received will be pub
lished over the names of their respective
authors, unless otherwise directed.
would especially cali upon Confederate
officers and soldiers to contribute to this
enterprise.
The Southern press is respectfully re-
quested 10 copy this communication.
Those desiring to communicate with the

southern chivalry and martial skill have
fully vindicated themselves during the re-
cent internecne struggle. That the laws
and usages of civilized warfare have been
dishonored snd outraged by it's many law
less occurrences no one can for a moment
doubt, and posterity will know these things
to be thus. Why not leave behind few
facts to disabuse the minds Of succeeding
generations upon these subjects, and let a
vindication of Southern honor as well as
the story of her defeated armies descend to
our offspring Let the names of Sherman,
Wilson, Sheridan and others go down the
current Of the future. stigmatised by their
merited opprobrium. Let the burning Of
Atlanta, Columbia, DC, ever stand recorded
