The same blind obstinacy makes Da.
Wis answerable for the craelties practiced
upon the Uuion prisoners. One of his
tavorites was Colonel Nortlrop, the Con-
federate Commissary- General, who an.
pears to have been, previous to the war.
. Thomsonian physician at Charleston
He was an ill-natnred, capricious man.
and the horrible sufferiugs of the Union
prisoners were, according to Mr.. Pollard
owing altogether to his perversity. But
Davis kept him in Office in spite of oil
opposition. just as he also kept in Office
the notorious Winder, and he cannot es.
cape responsibility for the deeds of such
agents." -f
We take this extract from the New
York Weekly Sun. It must be the spawn
OF some ignorant sophomore or hireling
local, who recognized in Mr.. Pollard a
congeniai fellow. We would pass it by
unnoticed, but it has been called to our
attention by Northern subscriber, and
constant friend of our paper. We.
therefore, write upon it the word
False, in our blackes+ type.
Colonel Northrop was a Carolinian OF
revolutionary ancestors. We care little
for blood. It is the merit of the man
assailed in this libel which we deem it
our business to defend. He was class
mate OF Jefferson Davis, at West Point
and captain in the old army. Wound.
ed In the West, he was retired on half
pay, and lived quietly on his means. in
Charleston, until the breaking ont of the
war This community knows that he
was man of acknowledged ability and
unfilnching integrity. If he had not his
faults. he would not have been man:
but who will cast the first stone? A bro.
ther-ln-la of the late distinguished Dr.
John Bellinger, he became u physician
OF some skill, for the sole purpose of nm
obtrusive charity. He pructiced largely
in his neighborhood, without charge.
aud many of the poor laboring men and
women of this city remember him to- day
In their humble prayers. His servants
will all testify that he was kind and in
dnlgent master. He accepted the com
missariat, and lnbored faithfully in that
office. However his subalterns NAV
have plundered and grown rich, he
maintained the severest economy and
most scrupulons accountability. He re-
ceived the official compliments of the
Confederate Congress, and now lives in
virginia. In reduced circumstances, but
honorable independence. He is not
ashamed, in his old nge, to till his own
fields. He was well-to.do, and might
have made his millions, as others less
able have done. In oil his poverty, he
Is richer in the wealth of his character
than the nabobs or shoddies of the war.
We challenge the San to point out an
other man in high Office, on either side,
who furnishes better evidence of unsul-
lied reputation or sterling honesty. No
guilt, public or private, can be laid at his
door, and we hope that he will pardon
something to our natural Indignation,
and the request of Northern friend if
these lines should meet his eye. The
Sun has forgotten the Injunction "Thou
shalt not bear false witness against thy
neighbor. "-Charleston Gazette.
