A blind Lsadsr OF she blind.

General Pendleton, who was chief of
artillery in the army of Northern Virginia,
in recent address in Georgia, presents
additional evidence that the comman-
der-in-chief of the Confederates never had
any confidence in the success of the cause
whose armies he led. Gen. Pendleton re-
latcs that just before the Confederacy
finally collapsed he approached General
Lee to express the opinion of the officers
of the army on the moral impropriety of
continuing struggle then clearly hopeless.
Lee replied:
"This is no new question with me. l have
never believed we could, against the gigantic
combination for our subjug alton, make good,
in the long run, an independence unless foreign
powers should directly or indirectly assist u.s."
This was not the first time that Gen.
Lee had expressed his want of confidence
in the success Of the Confederate UNDER
taking. In April, 1861, within few days
after he had sent to Gen. Scott his resigna-
tion as an officer of the. United States
army, aud before he had accepted the COM
mand of the provisional army he expressed
his forebodings Of the result to an Alex
audria journalist. "You look at this mat
ter, my dear sir, said he, sin political
point of view You consider how this
change will affect the political interests of
the people how il will enable them to
form new combinations and engage in new
enterprises that will augment their wealth
and power. 1t is natural that you should see
things in that light but am not politi-
clan, nor a commercial man; am soldier.
My profession leads me to look at the capa-
cities of nations for the purpose of offensive
and defensive war their means of recruit
ing and maintaining armies, of providing
ships of war, equipping and manning
them; their liability to blockade and mesns
of inficting injury upon their enemies, and
matters such as these. Looking at the
matter in this way, tell you, sir, it is the
darkest night ever looked into. We have
nothing but pluck to put against every
other force that enters into war;"
A few days afterwards General Lee took
command of the Virginia forces, and soon
afterwards united with the cotton States
and led the way blindly into that dark
night in which so many of his countrymen
stumbled and fell never to rise again

Amnesty.
TO the Editor Of the State Journal

TO the Editor Of the State Journal:
regret that the editor of the Richmond
Dispatch misconstrued the spirit of the
letter I sent from Richmond to the New
York Times. | would he had published
the same entire in his columns.
| have ever felt it to be duty, as an
evidence of manhood, to demand all the
rights any other man and citizen could
claim, by virtue of his manhood and
citizenship. I do so to-day uncompro-
misiugly.
While | have ever done as above, it has
been in manner aud with spirit, not
intending to provoke unkind feelings.
Though have always been sensitive in
defence of my rights, have ever retained
pleasant relations with those whom | have
differed with, with those with whom !
have been brought in coutact--with the
Southron no less. than the Northerner mot
a few Southerners have commended me for
standing up for my rights as man when
/ have pressed on them that they would be
ashamed of me as an American, were to
manifest cringing spirit abroad in any
relation with outside parties.
As to the question of amnesty: Is it
unreasonable in the government to de-
maud that those who were unsuccessful
rebels, shall give evidence Of their acqui-
esceuce in the results, by not outraging
those who remained loyal2 Why do
Southerners fail to appreciate the truth
that Northerners cherish no unkind feel

when asked for. Is it not mistake to
say amnesty is rJuseds Does not the
objection on the part of the Southerner lie
rather in the fact that amnesty is not
probered without solicitation on the part
of the party to be benefited i?
am not understood by the editor of the
Dispatch. If l ever desired anything
earnestly outside of matter Of immediate
personal benefit, matter of personal
friendly interest, it was, that such a policy
should manifest itself in the South, as
would favor universal amnesty that il
might be decreed.

gent colored man to urge the same, wher

Why will not the Southern white man

"7Ne Price Of Bread Every now and
then the city papers contain complaints from
the people of the size and price of the loaves of
bread with which they are furnished BY the
public bakers. Ia old times the Husting Court
used to prescribe the weigh and price of bread
as well as meat and drink, and what man
should pay for meals and lodgings at his hotel
We believe that no such usage prevails now in
regard to any of these matters. A man no,p
pays what he is charged or goes without. We

Hastings Court:

CHEATED Our OF HIS MORNING PAPER.
The scene described below is said to have
taken place in the Kentucky Legislature
in the winter of 1867:
A member from one of the mountain
counties wss persistent reader of the
Louisville Journal, and each morning, as
the House opened, would commence read
ing his favorite paper, and about the same
moment some member would move to dis
pense with the reading Of the Journal and
our mountain member would lay down his
paper. He stood this for sometime, but
one morning, rising from his seat after the
usual motion. he exclaimed at the top of
his voice; "Mr. Speaker, I've sot here in
my seat for morn week aud submitted
to the tyranny of this House Somebody
every morning moves to dispense with
reading the Journal, and I've lost every
paper I've bought for week by it and
no man has ever moved to dispense with
the Democrat or Courier; and, Mr..
Speaker, won't stand it no longer. Mr.
Speaker, -" Here the balance was lost
in the general laughter.

HORRIBLE SUFFERINas OF THE WOUNDED
FRENoH.-The Cassel correspondent of the
London Times writes
The other day l had g most horrible
sight of human suffering. About 1900
prisoners arrived at midnight, on their way
from Frankfort to Stettin, 10 open railway
trucks, no other carriages being available
When the train started from Frankfort 10
the morning the thermometer was above
freezing point, but in the course of the dsy
such a sudden change set in that Ia the
evening the glass marked many degrees
below it. They were scantily clothed
some OF them without great coats. which
they had sold, buying tobacco with the
money; others had thin cotton stock
ings and wooden Shoes others, again,
had nothing at all on their feet
Lying in the same open trucks which
conveyed them from Epernay, exposed
to the intense cold, they were ia many in
stances frozen to the boards in their own
filth. One of them at least-some people
speak Of rnore-was frozen to death They
were in a most terrible aud pitiable plight
and the groaning of some of the poor
sufferers was fearful. After their arrival
they were distributed in the waiting rooms
of the station and in the barracks, where
they received restoratives in the shape o.
coffee, soup and meat. Warm clothes and
blankets were also given to many of them
and they continued their journey after q
stoppage of fifteen hours, with the excep.
tion of about twenty, who were sent tC
the Lazarette When l saw them ther,
they had first to be bathed. They were
literally swarming with vermip. Some o
them, being mobiles, were mere boys o
sixteen, aud again men above fifty other;
had served in the line, aud all of then
were suffering from exhaustion or pulmon
ary affection.

To The Editor of tho State Journal
AS 1t is impossible for you to keep post
ed on all matters political that are taking
place in this district without the assistance
of those who feel an interest in such mat
tera in the various localities, deem it my
duty to inform you in reference to the pro-
ceedings OF meeting which took place 10
our town last evening.
The meeting was in the interest OF the
Third District Congressional Committee, u
so-called, and for the purpose of getting
that committees action in reference to
the Federal appointments endorsed -
"Aunty joe" with three of his "house-
hold viz Morrissey, Lindsey and Tay-
lor, were on hand, and all made appeals
to the meeting to sustain them, but they
failed to see the justice or right in any
such proceedings, aud voted down the
resolution endorsing the committees action
by an overwhelming vote General White
and Messrs. Burr and Worthington, of our
town, were on haod, and gave the bogus
committee thorough overhauliug The
fact is, the people throughout this District
are getting their eyes opened to the true sta
tus of this committee. They see that its off :
cial acts are no more an expression OF the
will of the Republican party than would
be a manifesto from the great Panjandtim
Il. L. Daniel, Esq. | have no doubt that
"Aunty Joe" will see to it that meetings
in other portions Of the District, packed
for the purpose, are held, and resolutions
prepared in his Office will be metamor-
phosed into an expression of the voice OF
the people.
Yours, VINDEx.
