THE book is a feeble production. The
controlling idea is evidently the produc-
ton of history that would be accept
able to both North and South :
To accomplish such a task is (as it
should beg an impossibiiity. But we con-
denim this work more for what it fails
to say about the causes of the war than
for any inaccura we have noticed in
what#it does say on that and other sub
jects. It's text is on the order OF those
who say I'VE thought we were right"
rather than that we were right.
We did know we We're right then, and
we do know it now; and we are entitled
to have this told to cur children.
Writers at the North are almost daily
saying to the world that the Southern
States had the right to secede. Even
Goodwin Smith, the most learned and
able, as we'll as the most prejudiced, his
torian against the South who has writ
ten about the war, said In the Atlantic
Monthly of this year:
Few who have locked into the history
can doubt that the Union originally was.
and was generally taken by the parties
to it to be. a compact, dissoluble. per-
kaps most of them would have said. at
pleasure. dissoluble, certainly on breach
Of the articles Of #Union.''

Adams. of Boston, in an address deliv-
cred by him In June last in Chicago
whilst. as we understand him, not con-
ceding the right Of secession as existing
in 1861, said quoting from Dana Peel's
Life Of General George H Thomas, as
follows:

With our quondam enemies tEEs tell
ing the world that we had the right to
do what We tried to do. and only asked
to be let alone, and when we know that
when we did go to war we only went to
repel a ruthless invasion of our homes
and firesfdes, our case could not be made
stronger And we have the right. there
fore. to insist that our children shall be
told the truth about 1t. and we should be
con;ent with nothing less.
Dr. Jones. in his history, says:
..,rhe seeding States not only had a
perfect right to withdraw from the
Union. but they had amply sufficient
cause for doing so. and the war
made upon them by the North was ut
terly unjustifiable. oppressive and cruel,
infant the South could not shenorably have
pursued any other course than to resist
force with force, and make her great
struggle for constitutional freedom.
RIGHT OF THE CAUSE.
Is there any doubt in the mind Of any
5Southerner that this is the truth? If not,
then let it be so told to our children.
We suffered and did and dared enough
to entitle US to have this done. and that
we were unsuccessful makes it the more
important that it should be done. A sue
cessful cause will take care of itself;
an unsuccessful one must rest only on
its inherent merits. and if it can't 90
this, then those who supported it were
rebels and traitors. We feel, then, that
we cannot do better than to repeat here
what we said in the report OF 1860 or the
Importance OF the trust committed to our
Lands. We then said:

CAUSE OF SUFFERING

m :
Mr.. Charles a. Dana, the Faderal As
sistant Secretary of War, i'll an editorial
in the New York Sun, commenting on
the letter of Mr.. Davis TO Mr.. James
LYONS. written in reference to the strict
lIres Of Mr. Blaine, referred to in the
early part of this report, said as follows
This letter shows clearly, we think.
that the Confederate authorities. and es-
specialIy Mr.. Davis, ought not to be held
responsible for the terrible &privations.
sufferings and injuries Which our men
had to endure while they We're kept in
Confederate military prisons. The fact
is sl,nuuestionable that while the Con-
federates desired to exchange prisoners,
& to send our men home, and to get back
their own, General Grant steadily and
enormously resisted such an exchange.
1T is hard on our men held in South.
ern prisons said Grant in an official.
communication, mot to exchange them;
but it is humane to those left in the
ranks to fight our battles. If we COM
mence a spstem of exchanges which
liberates all prisoners taken. we will
have to fight on until the whole South
+ is exterminated If we hold those caught
they are no more than dead men
This evidence says Dana, must be.
taken as conclusive. It proves that it
was not the Confederate authorities who.
insisted on keeping our prisoners in dis.
tress. want and disease, but the COM.
,nanderS of our own armies Mere
over, SAYS he, there is no evidence.
whatever that it was practicable for the
Confederate authorities to feed our pris-.
oners any better than they We're fed. or
to give them any better care and atten-
ton than they received. The food was
insufficie the care and attention We're
insufficient, no doubt; and yet the condi-
ton of our prisoners was not worse than
that of the Confederate soldiers in the
field. except in so far as tie condition
OF those in prison must of necessity be.
worse than that OF men who are free
and active outside"
This is the statement. as we have said.
of the Federal Assistant Secretary of
War during the war, and. of course, he
knew whereof he wrote He was the man
by whose authority General Miles put
the shackles upon Mr.. Davis when he
was in prison at Fortress Monroe, and
was therefore prejudiced in the highest
degree against Mr.. Davis and the Con-:
faderate authorities generally. And his
statement must be taken as conclusive
az this whole question.
REPORT OF DEATH RATE.
When We add to this the pregnant fact
that the report Of the Federal Secretary.
of War. Mr.. Stanton, dated July 18TH
1856. shows that of the Federal prisoners
in Confederate prisons. only y ,576 died; !.
