RALEIGH, N. C. August l6.-Major Cen
eral Fitzpatrick has written letter to a
gentleman in this city, endorsing the
course of the Raleigh Progress and the
loyal representatives of the Northern
press for exposing the evil intentions Of
disloyal leaders in this State, which the
General says represent the true condi-
ton of affairs, not only in North Carroll
ma but in all other insurrection States,
and that the facts should not be smoth-
cred ND by friends of the Government,
but it should be generally known, that
the people may learn the correct state OF
things as they now exist in the South,
which will enable them to act under
staudingly and with justice to all con-
cerned


The General is making trip through
the State. While here the other day he
is reported to have said, after being In
formed by a brother officer that these
Provisional Governments are izzle
that he was fearful that it would be so,
and that the results so far show that We
had commenced reconstructing these dis,
loyal States too soon by at least four
years; that it was unreasonable to sup
pose that these States would recognize
or respect the Constitutional amendment
abolishing slavery, even if they We're
forced to ratify the same in order to Sc
cure their return to the Union, after
which event it was apparent from their
past actions that the reign of terror
existing in the Southern States before
the war would again be realized; that
these States cannot justly claim the same
right to manage their own affairs as is
aw arded to Northern States that it is
still more unreasonable to suppose that
their representatives in Congress will be
reconciled to the existence of the nation
al debt, one of the chief instruments by
which they were subjugated, and which
they must assist to pay that Judging
from the past and from the disposition
of the Southern people, disloyalty will
increase in the South as long as an ex
| cuse is offered for it, more especially SC
when they infer they are to be still
treated more OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
what have they to fear for promulgat
ing treason and torturing the negroes
for sympathizing with the Union thai
the latter assisted to preserve; that offi
GERS and soldiers who have sacrificed 81
much for our sacred cause are not recon
ciled to the immediate return of these
disloyal States to the Union, headed by
their treacherous leaders who can't bt
trusted, and who, with their Northern al
lies, stand ready the moment they are II
power to inflict o mortal stab in the ma
tion's heart that with the copperhea(
party in power comes free trade, the re
pudiation of the National debt, also the
privilege to these disloyal States to def!
the Government by re-enslsving th'
blacks, and, finally, that with the assis
tance of q copperhead administration
they will be able to bring abou q 6na
separation of the North and South.
