Their Occupation Gone.
,.om the Yicksburg Herald.

From the yicksburg Herald.
When Boston cheered South
Carolina a few weeks ago a
hlow was struck at the fire eats
ing. blood-letting politicians of
the country which staggered
them; when South Carolina
cheered back, and the palmetto
and the pine interlocked, the
fire,eaters and the blood-letters
we're struck dead. We are
clad that their occupation is
gone. A dozen prominent
Southerners. some of whom
never saw a battle, and a dozen
Notherners, many of whom
would have fled to Canada,
rather than enter the service,
have kept North and South
apart for these ten long years.
The masses have been deceived,
lied to, and made jealous and
suspicious of each orher in or
der that the political plans of
these rascally Windmill politi-
clans might be fnrthered. Their
baseness has been betrayed ];
the people are shaking hands
again. We admit that it was
hard for the South to accept
the issues of the war at first,
but as the excitement cooled,
men began to reason and re-
fleet; and years ago the laws
abiding, right>thinking men
Of the South were ready to
shake hands across the chasm
which the politicians had
opened. The Northern public
we're exnltant over the close of
the war, and a proportion of
the people, including active
Republican politicians, deman>
ded that the South be degraded
and burdened; they snuffed
rebellion on every Southern
breeze, and they forced them-
selves to believe the false and
malicious reports which de>
signing men set afloat.
Time is the best vindicator.
Time has brushed the malicious
politicians into their graves,
and their is no longer any
chasm. There is no North, no
SOuth-except as naked on
the compass. It is a great,
populous, thriving country-a
Union of States which has been
cemented SO firmly together by
the blood OF the brave and the
gallant, that nothing can
shake it apart. We thank God
that it is so. We want to see
this friendly feeling grow and
widen until the fire>eaters and
the blood-letters will be res
gaTdeu with contempt by all
ho4tst men. If we have peace
We can have good hearts,
Peace will give MS satisfied
minds, bountiful harvests, and
good times. We have forgot
ten the war-all but our dead,
and the roses climb over the
cold headstones and hide them
nom our sight!
