CHARLOTTE: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1873: Tha Policy of Truckling. ; We have receive'd a letter from a distin guished Baptist minister of Utica, . New York, in which occur the following words : 'After the close of the war, in which I - took an humble part as an Union officer, the Southern people had a splendid herit age of honor, courage, chivalry, self-endurance, &cv every thing which a soldier holds sacred. You could lookthe world in the face. For, with your misfortunes and terrible sacrifices and Bufferings, there was no stab, not a shade upon your honor ! ' Even with the dominant party here, there is & feeling akin to contempt towards those who ha?e not only kissed the heavy hand, but have thanked it for overpowering the 0. 8. A. ; confessing that they ought to have ' been conquered giving a cognovit 4 to the oft-repeated assumption on the part of the Northern Radicals, that it bad been found ed and built up by God for the very pur pose of breaking the ' pride of Southern slave-holders and the power of the South ern States. ; Excuse the intrusion, but (partly invalid as I am) I find now and then much pleasure in a pen-and ink chat . with far-off people. Few people at the North (outside of officials) have been more extensively heard of South than myself especially in the Baptist Church owing to some things 1 saw fit to write for the Rich mond Religious Herald, in 1866, and for which I was excommunicated with the greater excommunication ; an act resulting in a great deal of pleasure and comfort to myself, besides giving me hosts of friends in aoutbern States." We have always believed that our scal lawags, brindle-tails, and milk-and-water . neutrals, were responsible for the oppress ion of the South. Had we maintained a manly front, we would have commanded the Tespect of our' late enemies. . Manly men admire manliness, and despise.a truck . ling hound. It was hastening , to kiss the rod that brought upon us the Reconstruc tion' Acts, the Ku-Klux persecutions and the whole infernal system of carpet-bag ' and ruffian government. . The recent Democratic triumphs at the North may give a little backbone to some of our neutral hybrids. It is possible that they may yet become outspoken Conserva tives, if they think that Grant's reign is to end with this term. We trust that there is no impropriety in giving the extract below from a prominent citizen of South Carolina, now an exile from his native land through the wretched truck ling of his own people, who strengthened the hand of the tyrant by their unmanly , submission "Forced by gross injustice, by oppression, oy toe armed troops of the United States-r- me writ oi naoeas corpus suspended, my house, wife and family 'of small children guaxuBu xor monms oy a Drutai somiery i-.lJl it- t i .1 I lorcea inns to leave, l never expect again to be a citizen of the United States.

Colonel Moshv In a recent number of the Southern HomeV" Mimu' irwuHmuaiy. neww a large, we mentioned that Hughe9, the black-and- tan candidate for Governor of Virginia, was too low-down to be supported by even the renegade Mosby. It appears from the following extract from a private letter from .a distinguished Virginia Representative in Congress that we ' were misinformed con- cerning Col. Mosby's political status. Our friend says "CoL M. has j ust shown me a copy of your paper in which he (Mosby) is called a renegade, and it is supposed that you wrote the article. I was sorry to see such a piece from you. and because I think the epithet is not deserved Mosby was for Grant against Greeley; but never went with the, Radicals, and has ren dered us important services in the cam- paign," &c. It is stated, also, that Mosby supported Gen. Kemper, and "uniformh tvuh tua umuence witn urant in favor ol Conservatives, particularly of those who suffered from Governmental persecution.' e are always pleased to find ourselves in error when we have unwittingly imputed to any respectable person the dirarikrai of entertaining Radical sentiments; therefore.

Southern men have never considered it a question- for we have not a particle : of doubt about the authors of that dastardly outrage, though it is well to put on record any contemporary evidence obtainable. Only a few days ago, we talked with a highly intelligent lady of cultivated mind and manners, who, on that dreadful night was driven from her home by the advancing flames, and brutal soldiery, and for hours was a wanderer in the streets, carrying on each arm a shivering infant, and with other helpless little ones tugging at her skirts ! She met the " noble boys in blue " running from -house to house communicating the flames, and filling the, air with their drunk en ribaldry; and she mentions one incident where an aged gentleman besought one of the villains to spare his ' modest dwelling but was answered with a deriding laugh as the torch was applied to his little property, which was his all I At length amid the glare and smoke and cinders, and hellish uproar, our informant found her way to the friendly wlls of the Insane Asylum, where she rested until her friends could procure a more suitable shelter. This lady, ' whose simple word we would credit against the sworn oath of any of the Vandal Generals, saw Sherman surrounded ' by a brilliant staff, laughing merrily as he contemplated the blackening rains that were to evermore blacken his own character. " So Nero fid died while Borne burned: and Charles IX carried his minions to view the naked Hu guenot corpses after St Bartholomew. True, Sherman made some pretence of trying to stop the progress of the flames; but why did he not stop the scoundrels who were spreading the flames? jnj when they did stop, why was it at the sound of a bugle as if that were the pre concerted signal? That there' should be anv attemDt to Kniota f n T( . mer in view of the facts, would be sur- prising, u we am not Know tne wortniess character of all Yankee histories, as well , t , . uiotvij an t a au muuusuii nuici J M to be useful must be true"; and this can hardly be said when rolls and records! speak not truth but falsehood; and when contemporary history is written after blood v conflicts when one party is reduced to si- , , .A , . .x J .& of publicity, raakt s it suit his own views; when the writer is he whom the spoil has enriched and the hand that guides the pen is red with the blood of the calumniated victim.- Then vae victisL Then veual luugues. auu mercenary pens wm ueraiu -m . . . forth the triumphs of successful wrong; I and thefname of the patriot who felt and! bled and dared for his country, will be I n ui- h501181 obloquy or oblivion; none wlu aare to breajne nis name or tnrow a flower on his silent grave, till Time, the Great Defector, brings truth to lght, re stores to Virtue her true lustre, and toi Hu manity her most precious interests. We have faith in the ultimate triumph 'of truth, and the day must surely come when to say, " I was with Sherman at Columbia' will cause all honorable men to turn from the speaker with disgust.
