the laws of war. has been the enemy’s avowed
object, which Uk;7 boast of having accompHshed to
the utmost, U deprive the Confederate people of
food for themselves and their soldiers and even ior
their catt.’e. How then cou^d tbey expect us to
have foed for euch of tfcem as fall into our hands?
But worse than this: With a enirit that would do no
discredit to the vrry devils in hell, after destroying
or carrying off all the food of familiee, they have ta
ken the pains to destroy the farmirg implements, to
prevent if possible the ra’sing of new crops for the
snbststence of th^^se whom they bad thas stripped
and beggared. Can tbey wonder that tbere was not
BtifBcient food to satisfy their appetites? They left
not enough for oar ovra soldiers a»'d women and chil
dren, all cf wh"n are upon ecant rationo, and of
course there was not tnough for them. 
The case is diflereai in tno CTni’ed Sfates. Tbere
is an abundance of food and clothing there. They
not only prodace an abnndance, but have the who’e
world open to them al=o. It is base anl uumanly in
them .to stint sach cf oar soldiers as tbey capture.
Yet it is Dotorioua that they have stinted tfarm, and
^irther that they have genera'ly in other ways fo
'ftfcted them as to force the conviction tbat t''py
'•'■ibed to kill thenr?, or at least to rnin^heir health
ihat they could no a^^a'Q do .duty as eoldierfl.

perished by exposure or ill treatment or went in
their prisons. They had the moans to treat him
humattly, and did not, and woald 1,0^ *Thiy mur
dered him ia (jQjd blopd.
Again lay, it is a happy thing to get rid of
these yatkees whom Lincoln has obliged us to hold
10 long, and v>ho have sufiFered because their own
inhumanity deprived us of the means of feeding and
clothing them. But what joy to hope, that such of
our own gallat* men as have survived the cruelties
of many weary oonths of almost hopeless imprieon-
’ment, will soot restored to the embraces of the
“Tirbd of thb Wab ”—Who is not lired of the
wai? It is not possible to conceive of npy one, either
in the Oonfedenwy or out of it, whS is not anxious
IWr the close of this desolating wap, tind who does
net pr*y daily and hourly, that Ood would in bis
mercy stay the hand rf the destroyer, and once more
bless the land with Fcivce. Demagogues and fools
may prate of the speculator’s gains, of the chieftain’s
desire of fame, or of the ruler’s ambition, as mcf
tivco argicg them or apy of them to entertain a de
sire for the prolongaHon of thenar; but the idea is
utterly inadmisf ible. If really entertained by those
who advance iS it only sko^ that their own hearts
are corropt.
There is but one way to eecure peace; and that is,
to conqufX it. Let the Confederacy but establiah its
Incependenco, and there will be indeed what we all
pray for, “a laUing Peace;” not ctberwiso. We
shall not be a Power of such magnitude among the

Not BO TTitbth? United States. ft2d emphatically
not PC ■with the United States if the Confederate
3t;^te3 were nnf«rtunately re-unitcd to her. It is
oar Ibelief tbat this present war was permitted in p^rt
t^ prevent that giant power from becoming a 800t?rge
to the world. Inflated with self conceit beyond ery
people under the sun: power'ul beyond any nation
of euch brief duration, and arrogant beyond any from
a sense of that, puwer, the United States was in-
clitjod to dictate to “a world in t^rms,” and had really
come (jo bel'ev», or at least to bcBst, that they “conld
whip that world ia arms.” The an’azinir capacity
for '^ar which tbey have sho^n (Jvicg the past fonr
years makes itnccesscry thr-t the (’onfederacy shall
Ue free, to restrain th-» arrogance and j»inbition rf
tbe Uriied States. Re united, and inspired uitb
tf n-fcld more, if poseible, of the natural and boast-
tul concsit of tb? yack-es, thece vroold be no keep
ing the peace of the world. In the confident expec
tation cf corqusring tbe Confederacy, the United
States are,but euspeudin? two other wars ^hich tbey
do not hesitate to avow their determination to enter
npon—wars with two of the mo^t warlike and power
ful nations of the earth; wars cf ambition and con-
qaeat, which Seward did not hesitate to adm’t to our
Peace Co'Timiesioners that be expected to occur.
We iBust ‘^conqucr a Peace,” or we shall be en
gi'ged in those wars. It ia idle for ony man wh^ is
“tired of the war” to hope for pe'ice in any other
way or on any other terms. Submit to the Yankees;
allow them to Bubjaga*e us; re-unite with them uprn
any tercis, even if they would consent to tennp,
which they will not;-none of these womld bring
Peace. They would bring new wars—wars in which
we have no interest and for which we have no incli
nation, and yet wars in which v*8 should be compelled
to figbt Most probably, irstead of being under
our OVn fimm ■mr>Ti0«t ASV'
selves an l pympathiriug with us, we g''oold be di
vided in Yaiikee regiments; have Yankee officers
put over U8, to domineer with bat“ful ^yronny over a
subjugated and inferior p«opIe. We can imagine
the condition of the Confedera'e soldier i" tlje Yan
kee army—a pnbjag*ted Cf'Tifed*r?te eoldier, drafted
into the service to fieht in a war in which he has no
concern, and under officers whom he hates and who
despise and hate him Subjv ctcd to every indig
nity and injury in camp, in ba tlo he will be put in
the front, as the negroes now are, to save the car
casses of the Yankees from barm. And he will have
the sad consciousness that he de’erres bis fate, for
he might have been free and would not.
These views may ndt be new to-our readers, but
tbsy are none the less important. Wesnbmitthat
they are true; that it ia a miserable deinsioa to sup-
pcse that re-union wiib the Yankees would bri^g
peace. How infinitely better, on the contrary,— how
inSaitely more safe and honorable—to figbt out ihit
war for our own rights and property, rather than
lead ouratlves to the Yaakees to fight their wars
with England and France and the rest ot “the world
in arms.” Success in this war wiil ba our 8U'*cesB,
our saf-ty, our honor, our IndependcDce. Succesa
or defeat in the Yankee wars would but enure to
iheir benefit and glory and to our degradation and
oppreesiOQ.
An Ikoiobnt from —The failures of the
malls enable iia to copy Maoaalj^y’s account of the
EiejTO of Ljadiflderry, DQ-* of tin m>3fc reoaarfc’a'jle
events in history, and one well calculated to inspire
our people wi*^h hope and confidence ot triumph, if
v^e v.iil only be uni ed and tru9 to ourselves.
In the preceding part of the chapter from which
we copy, is an acc3uut of the efforts of Lundy, the
Governor of Londonderry, to discourage tbs people.
He W3S a regular croaker, as bad as any'would-
bo Governor who has disgraced tbis Confederacy.
He was in secret communication with the enemy.
Some charged that le had afiocted to be againct the
enemy only that be might the more eQectially aid
him. Others attributed his dastardly conduct to
faintheartedness and poverty of spirit. Ho had
sworn fealty to his r'ghtfal sovereiga, just as
some people in this Confederacy signed the
Ordinance of.Secession and pledged “the last dollar
and the last man” to meintain that act. Lundy
wished the inhaV>itaci8 to “try to make good terms
for themselves,” he himself meaning to ‘‘withdraw
privately.” He sent a pricate messenger to the enemy
with assaracctis that the city should be peaceably
surrendered on the first sivnmons. We wonder if
such message has guue to the enemy from North
Fbom Qbh. Whitiko abd Maj. Hill.—Letters
from these gallant officers to their families, dated
Governor’s Island, Feb'y 10th, came to onr care this
p'orsing, which i»® know not how to forward, and
tterefore state that Geh. Whiting writes that he is
very weak but doii>g well; wounds slowly improving;

And we are sorry to hear that nnmbera of such cs-
caped prisone's have been seea in other locElitiss.
The only hope of patting a stop to the*e outrages is
to do as the loyal men of Wilkes county lately did
They armed, oon’bited, marched against the robberr,
killed and wcnnded some, and drove of^the remain

Hbadquabtbks 0. S A bmibs, )
18ih Februarr, 1865. |
Ren. E. Barksdale, Souse of
Fichmortd:
Sib-I have the bonof to acknowledge the r«*
celpt of year letter of the 13^ instant, w^th refer
ence to tte employment of negroes as eoldiers. 1
think the mea3a''o qo^ only expedient, but neces
sary. The ei^emy vrill certainly use them egBinst
n* if he can set poisession of them, and as'hia.pre'
I'Cnt miiu-rictfl esvble him to petie-
irate ma»'y parta of the con^Ary, I cannot rt®
wisdom of the poMcy of holding them to awitft his
arrivel, when we may, by timely action aad jadt'cioai
management, use them to arreit his progreas. I do
not think th^^t our white population can snppJy the
necessities f a bng war, without overtaxing its ca
pacity and imposing gre»t au^ring npon our iwo-
ple; and I believe we should provide resources for a
protracted struggle, hot merely for a battle or a
canspaign.
In Answer to your second question, I can only say
th^t, in mj opinion, the negroes, iiaHer proper cir-
cnmstanccs, will make efficient soldiers I think jre
could do as well with them at the enemy, and be at
taches (Treat iraportance to tbeir tasistance Under
rood ofScera aud good instrnction, I do not see why
they shrn-d not become soldiers. T'bey possess all
t^e physicnl qualifications, and their habits of obe-
di-nce ccnstitnte h good foundaHon for discipline
They furriph a more promising material than many
arraies of which we read in history, which owed their
tffibi^ncy to diacirlice aloce. I think those who are
employed should be freed. It would be neither just
cor wise, in my opini'^r, to require ih'^m to serve as
slaves. The best course to pursue, it seems to me,
would be to call f>r sach as are willing to come Wh
the consctt of their owners. An impressment or
draft would not be likely to bring out the best- class,
at^d the use of coefcicn would make the measure dis
tasteful to them and to tbeir owners
I have no doubt that ic Congress would authorize their
reception into service, and emp iwer the President to call
cpon individuals or 8ta*ea for each as they are willisg
to cortribu^’fe, with the ooudition of enoancipation to all
enrolled, a sufficient nntnber would be forthcomiDg to
enable us to try the experim-nt If it prove euccessful,
most of tt’6 olj.'rtioEB to tho measure would disappear,
and if indivit!ua1a etil' remained unwilling to send th*‘ir
negroes to the ariry, tho forc« of public opinion in the
States wou'd EWD brin); abrut Fuoh legiHlation as would
reircJve all obftacU s. I think the matter should be l^'ft
A? far 98 poFS W j to the petple aud to the States, which
a’t ne can legis>la^o as the n-!c»*9fit’e8 of t>»ia particular
ftrvice may r» quire. As to the mode of o.^ganizing then
it ehould be kft us free from restraint as possible. Expe
rience will eugeest the bc.=t c'-ursj^ and it wou'd bt? inex
pedient fo tream-'l f:c ' ctwiiu provisions that mlnht
in the ecd, pn^veut the aiiopiioa ot s^forms suggested by
