AID. II noticed in TIVE HERALD Il few
DAYS since au article over the nom de
Elume OF .'One of the Boys il Blue"
/ think he has been sufficiently at
tended TO by yourself and some other
gentleman over three stars in the Sun
day HERALD. But / also notice in the
same numbe. Sundays issue) an
other article of like ilk, tho writer
thereof subscribing himself "Another
of the Boys in Blue" tina. l propose to
notice sucainctly. If the writors re-
fofred to are representative men of tne
Federal army, General Grant MADE p
great mistake when he stated, IN SUB
stance, lust before his death that al
difficulties between the North and
South would have been quickly and
satisfactorily settled had they been re-
ferred to the two armies. ANA 90
not care how high thus writer nay
stand st Chicago; do not care i no is
regarded az an oracle NJ his home, no
is certainly much mistaken in The
feeling OF the old Confedefates, or
else no is totslly ignorant OF human
nature. Tho old ConfeGers.es
of the South are not anX-
ious that fanatics of the
North should mourn over JEFF
terson Davis when he dies or mako
any hollow demonstrations a. his
tomb. His memory is deeply i'm
pressed in the hearts Of millions Of
incorruptIbie patriots in the South, az
also of thousands in the North, who
have never bowed the knee to the
Basi Of bieotry and faneticism. The
charge of treason might just as well
be pushed in the faces Of tho vast
multitude to whom Mr.. Davis IS en- b.
deared as 10 charge him with 1t. Such
fanatics seem 20 DO emholdaned De-
cause OF recent demonstrations by the
South over tho grave OF General Grant.
This vile SANDER Is hurled from The
very grave of their Idol general. But
such will ripd thar the South is till IN
possession Of her msnhood and Will
Indignantly resent ell such charges
made AGAINST one who was once their
idol aud one whom tney revere to-day
perhaps more than any other living
man, When Genest Cor Genet as writ
ton in this con ntry), the French miais"

Huned 10 insult Was Iington, be soon
found himself " hout friends in this
country. THIS writer does not express
" charge MIR. Davis with treason, but
ne docs so by Implication. He makes
various chsrges, bat only refers III
general terms ~ the history that Mr..
Davis has written for proof i have
not tho history, but L venture 10 say
that il he viii give the text the coptexs

will justify every paragraph oilglnat-
hg from MIR. Davis iii his history.
Again: Tbis writer has the cheek TO
charge MIR. Davis with slandeflng
Grant and Sba, man. What was con-
tai { ell IN tho letter written by Mr.. DS-
Wis to General Grant IN tho last SICK
ness of be later, and which so much
affected him, do not know, but IL ~
safe 10 conclude it YVES not alsnderOus,
