OUR SPECIAL
NORTHERN SLANDERS OF THE
SOUTH
From the vioksburg MISSY Daily Herald.

From the vicksburg MISSY Daily Herald.
A few days since q leading editorial ap-
peared il the New York Times, entitled,
''The Vendetta in the South. II is from
beginning to close a vile and atrOciOus
SANDER; cool, calculated, cunningly de-
vised libel originated for political effect.
1t grew out of that cursed spirit of malig-
nifty, and sfter-danger valor which las
characterized the 'tfireside, - craven-heart-
ed heroes of the North, who Only sgun
the war for the Suppression of the re-
belliOn," after the armies of the
South had surrendered and were
disarmed. Too COwardly to risk
themselves upon the battlefield, they
remained quiet spectators of the greatest
struggle ever known to earth, until the
shrugged had ceased, and then with blood
thirstiness and herOism unparalleled, they
rushed solid phalanxiupon the 6isarmed
and shattered South. II is a glOriOu8 ex-
plot one in which they have covered
themselves ten fathOms deep in honor and
renOwn, and for which they deserve 10
be handed down TO the coming genera
ton in the smOothest and most citing
poetry. The nation is greatly the debtor
of these veterans of the 'sbOmb prCof.D
Without their aid, the historian would be
entirely bereft of pleasing and brilliant
incident. II has been reserved for this
class of martial heroes to paint the great
ness, bravery, and herOism of the Federal
soldiery, and the barba7ism and fiendish-
ness of the ignorant and dcpraved South
erner.
Of this class of men, the New York
Times has a fair supply upon its edito-
rial staff, and they have given 70 the
world much evidence of their undying
hate of the South, and have ascri led to
the people the most atrociOus of crimes,
of all which crime she is, however, bliss
fully ignorant. OF this order Of edito-
rial there appeared in the New York
Times recently, a SANDER, as We have
said, entitled "The Vendetta in the
South" This article we find republished
and fully endorsed in the jackson
Pilot of the Goth inst. We are 10th to
think that the appearance is attributable
to the editor of the Pilot We have
thought him more honest and truthful
than his fellow Radical editors, and can
not think that he would indOrse any such
bitter and untruthful statements of a
people with whom he lives and by him
well known. This, however, is matter
solely for the conscience of Stafford. If
he can reconcile it to himself to become
responsible for such misstatements, let
him accept it to the fullest.
But to the article itself. It is one Of a
series of a similar character; all tending
to portray the depravity of the people Of
the South and the crime perpetrated here.
We do not deny that there is crime here,
but we do deny that it exists to the extent
represented by the many bitter and ma
hgnant enemies of the South. Nor does
it exist in ratio at all prOpOrtionate with
the amount recorded at the pure and
moral, God-fearing and GOd-loving North.

SOMETIME ago one of the many Of our
critics, who are not happy unless they can
pick flaw in the Courier Journal, COM
planned of us because we declined to hazard
the opinion that the Democracy had a
dead thing on the next House of Repre-
sentatives. We declined for the simple
reason that our information as to the pros
pect in the North, but particularly in
Ohio and Indiana, was elsewise; and we
have long ago ceased to lash ourselves
into an imaginary glow of expectation
and to slOp over in advance by sort of
premature elation calculated to mislead
our own judgment and to deceive the
people. Our readers may rest assured
that when we make statement or con-
conjecture we at least believe it, and, in
view of the results of Tuesday, we fail
to see how representations of impossible
and overwhelming Democratic victories
on our part could have done anybody any
real good. Courier Journal.
