POLLARU'S "oECkET HISTORY"

IOLAAKUS
After the general censurs cast upor
NJ. Pollard for bis Want of veracity anC
good faith towsrds the leaders Of the
" Lost Cause" in his work of that name
it is strange that be again intrudes upon
the public with a work of similar cbarac'
TER. But prompted and instigated by an
intense hatred to Mr.. Davis, be brings
forth another volume, SURPRISING his pre-.
vious efforts, to blacken and defane the
reputation of one who may not have
acted wisely in ell things, but who hon
estly believed be was doing the lest for
his struggling country. Faults Mr.. Ds-
Wis may have-and who Is free. from
them plumbers he may have committed
in his administration of public affairs,
but few men 10 the South unless of the
Pollard ~stripe-will deny him sincerity
Of purpose in all his actions. Now that
peace reigns wei the land, and men have
suffered their passions to cool ; now that
we can calmly look over and reflect upon
the past. llunder after blunder. mistake af.
ter mistake can be pointed out in the mill
tary career of the South. To fret over what
has been done and cannot be undone, ia
no part of . mans composition. No
who "blundered," the question
has been decided against US. There let
the matter'rest, and it ought never to be
disturbed by angry recrimination.
But why upon Mr.. Davis shoulders
rests the blame of failure d? He did all
hat man could to ensure success, and
every candid mind in the South will sck.
nowledge it. But Mr.. Pollard 10 bis
T. Secret History" makes that greatly
abused man responsible for all tue disasters
that befell the Confederate arms from
The first repulse to the final surrender.
It was we'll known during the war that
NJ. Davis committed some serious errors
u his selection of commanders for i'm.
posts. as we'll as 10 army CON-
hands, and that be wss warned against
hem by his officers, and that he stub.
'ornly refused to listen to advice
3ut that was not enough to charge him
With all the reverses and calamities that
upon the Southern cause. Yet Mr.
'ollsrd lsbors industriously to throw all
upon Mr.. Davis. With what effect
8 known to the whole cnuutry. Even at
he North. Mr.. Pollard's work has been
denounced as slanderous, abusive, and in
parts, showing an absolute want of
and commou respect. What
hen should be thought of it at the South,
'here Mr.. Davis is better known and his
cts better understood ? Mr.. Pollard
ays be has no prejudice against Mr. Da.
Is, yet every line Of his book gives an
mphatic denial to the assertion. Taking
ne "Secret History" as a whole, it is u
bel upon literature, and a waste Of time

. unless, perhaps, here and there some :.
if1lng, unimpcrtant transactions which
10 Richmond. and did not sp-
ear in the public prints of the day, can +.
