Funny EDIroRIALIzINa. The New
York Tribune re fers as follows to say
age paragraph which appeared IN that
journal during the wsr, expressing the
hope that the Con federates would be
made to feel war at their hearths tones, to
see their wives and children fsmishing, &c.
The Tribune now says:
1.-The words in question have since
been found iii the Tribune of May1 1861.
To this we reply: 1. That many bitter
things were said by all of US at that bitter
time, just after the attack on sumpter and
the Baltimore massacre, which would not
| have been said in November. 1860 g
That the words in question were part OF
/. an editorial urging stringent blockade
for the purpose of shortening the war,
and that, with this context, they do not
seem "savage" so much as extravagant-
ly rhetorical. 8 That, whatever they
are, Dir. Greeley did not write them, did
not approve them, and never saw them
until alter they were printed. 4 That
they were written, as we have since ac-
certained, by gentlemen who ID now zeal
