To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
1t is characteristic Of your paper gener'
ousy to admit the expression of views from
correspondents, however radically differing
from your OVID, 30 that venture to express
pointed dissent from you on current topic
of the past week.
You have repeatedly aud in the most un'
euuivocaJ, not to say bitter, fashion condemn
ed the Secretary of War for declining to
place the flag over his department at half.
mast for the late OK President Davis, one OF
bis predecessors in Office. Now, as an ex-
Confederate and one who has never
felt anything but pride IN having worn
the gray, as one who saw Mr.. Davis
inaugurated, attended bis fret recep-
tIon, met him on subsequent occa-
sions, held his C mmission and loyalty
honors his memory, am of opinion that
Secretary Proctor did exactly right. More
than this, think his response to the noli-
foation of the Mayor of New Orleans was
iust what 1t should have been. 10 short 1t
appears to me. ss to him, that he pursued
"tbe right course and the best one
for all.
Knowing as the Seoretary perfectly knew,
and as We all know, that the display OF
mourning by the government in Washing.
ton on this occasion would have excited
throughout the North storm of abuse OF
the Southern people, Of cause they hold
dear, and, most OF all. of the distinguished
statesman whose memory thew now delight
to honor, it was equally the part of charity
and of good sense to withhold it. L NJ. B.
