Colonel Robb, one of the ex-commis.

effrom Gen. Dabney n. Maury, which
has been communicated to5the Rich
mend ;>ercr: b. Gec. Eeel-:LSSs lSs. 955;S I.
Soon after the war closed, my atten-
tion was called to the fast, that not only
had we been subjugated to the power OF
the North, but the history OF our revo.
luton was being written exclusively by
our conquerors, and every effort was
being made by them to misrepresent us,
our cause, its principles. and our ooaa-
dnct during the war, which was forced
upon as in defence Of our country. The
whole power OF the newspaper press, OF
the pulpit, magazine literature, the
makers of history books, OF the school
teachers. and most potent OF all, of the
sohool'book makers. was combined to
faislfy and degrade us in the eyes Of
posterity. The effect Of all this was
painfully manifested upon the character
and the demeanor OF our own people
We had become 30 famiIiarized with the
odioua names and the odious light im
which We were presented, thst we were
fast losing our selfrespect, aud seemed
ready to acquiesce in all the degrade.
tions thus prepared for us, and to be
ready to transmit, without an effort at
retrieVal, our names to our children,
with all the odium q malignant, unre.
lenting, active aud interruptions enemy
could throw around them. The policy
OF rendering treason odious," which
was announced by Andrew johnson
when he manacled our President and
cast him into prison to die of slow tor
ture, when he judicially murdered Wirz
and hanged an aged and innocent wo-
man, contrary to the evidence and with
ont the forms of constitutional law, had
reached such practical result as must
have been satisfactory to the most ex-
acting 'loyalty." We had been called
"rebels" until nine-tenths of rs felt we
had been rebels; and it was impossible
to recognize in the anxious, cowed as
poets OF the men of the South, whose
only care seemed now to be to avoid
everything which could give offence, or
which would not be entirely pleasant to
our Northern masters. the gallant spirits
of the once proud Southern Confede
rocy, who had challenged the admirs-
tlon OF tho world by their heroic de.
fence OF their country. All that was
now lett to us was to rescue the true his
tory OF that defence from oblivion and
destruction. and to leave posterity to
Judge us and our cause by the testimony
we should place before it. This, and
this alone, is the scope and object of the
Southern Historical Society. And for
this, I inaugurated in New Orleans,
more than five years ago, the first step
in movement which now at last seems
likely to produce the result we have
aimed at.

"A TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER.-Ihe Ran
goon correspondent of the London
Times gives some particulars of the cap
ture by the Chinese of the Panthay
cities, Taleefoo and Momien. Taleefoo,
he says, appears to have succumbed in
February last. to an army of 100000
Chinese, who invested it for some
months before it finally fell. The trea-
cherry of Panthay officer ut length en-
abled the Chinese army to enter between
the outer Notifications and the town
itself, and from this time the invest
ment became complete, and the days Of
Taleefoo we're numbered. The Chinese
General is said to have led Soleiman to
believe that if he surrendered himself,
the town and population would be
spared. At any rate, Soleiman poisoned
his three wives and all his children, and
then, having entered his palanquin, or
dered his bearers to convey him to the
Chinese camp. But he must have taken
poison before he started, for, upon ar
rival at the camp, his dead body was
found in the pnlanquin. The Chinese
General decapitated the body and sent
the head, preserved in honey, 10 Pekin.
All his attendants Who had come out
with him, besides another embassy that
appeared later to treat for surrender,
were beheaded, and eventually the city
was entered at the end of February last
and every Mahommedan man, woman
and child remorseiees massaored. A
Panthay'a idea of numbers is hardly
trustworthy, but there is every reason
to believe that between 10000 and
30, 600 people were killed

capture, and that he has retreated to the
billy tract in the North of Yuman,
whore the Chinese will find a difficulty
in following him. The fall of Momien
and the re-establishment, of Chinese
sovereignty in Yumap IRE, the writer
says, matters of much Importance, and
the numerous chambers Of commerce in
England who have 80 long pressed for
the development of the through trade
to Western China may indulge some
hope OF their expectations being realized.
There exists no difficulty in reaching
Momien, which is only 14G miles from
Bhamo, and as the Burmese mission
lately in England assured the mercantile
bodies, by whom they were entertained,
that it wns the sincere desire of tho
King of Burmah to re.establish the
trade route to Western China, it may be
expected that he will join cordially in
rosuscitating and developing route
which is calculated to prod uce such i'm
portant commercial results.
