so Weil the treatment which we will receive in the event
of tur country being c nquered by our Yankee enemies,
it is impossible lcr us to comprehend the leeiiuga - bieh

tract people, who, if not tbotjtghly uuited i gaiust the
common foe, will become the veriest slaves that ever
worked for a inasfer. But vet ve fear. and have n ason
to believe ti at such men are in tur midst, and at their

Vlu n these men fcl all have thoroughly developed

up to the j j.-t n probation of a people whose liberties

When this war shall Ir.ve been successfully concluded
and our liberties secured, it will then be time enough to
overhaul tbe Administration of the Confederate Gov

he would kav the right to puniih the city for ttre vic
lerrce of a few persons.
It would almost seem that the United States com
mander songbt a pretext for iufiietir-g unntcetsary end
wanton wrong and injiry on the city. He "claims that
the city is in the occupation cf the United States, and
yet keeps his who'e force on his ships and neglects to

To the Editor cf the Journal
Sib : Seeing a paragraph in yestemlay's issue of the
Journal, urging young men to join the service of their
country, thereby securing ths usual bounty, arid intima
ting that there wes calls by veral companies for re
cruits, I beg to say that a sTstem of recruiting has
been carried on here for some t me, which reflects very
little credit ou the patriotism or Justice of some gentlu
rnen engaged in it, who would waut to make it hppear
they weTre actuated solely by patriotic motivef , end mak
ing sacnG-'Cs purely for their country ; when as tbo con
trary i3 the case. A good merry of thesa would nuke
believe patriots recruit mea in order to get high posi
tions for themselves, high salaries cut Cf tic GonltdcT'
ate treasury, and little or nothing to do. Far be it from
them lo join a company as a private, though some
of them having forge properties to defend, und when
they do succeed in securing volunteers, tbey care co more
for them than if they were Cru;ne . The poor man
volunteers to defend hrs countiy from a patriotic motive,
which I am sure is not the case with s in c of the cfQe
seeker?. As an instance of this, I wil cite a casein
p dot, whieii occurred iu this town lately. I know a
numb.r cf young men who left th ir resp ctive employ- '
a cats awl joined a eorr pany es for back 33 the bi-cia-nir.g
of the month of March, and have not been put into
service yer, though they joined with the express under
s anding from the recruiting cflfoer that they were to go
into service imrnediate-ly alter their enlistment. Tneir
officer failed in miking up a cemonny, w lure upon tbiy
were transferred to a second carelidate fofu captaincy,
who transferred them Hgain to a t rird, who has not yet
got them into sort ice. nor vey likely to do sr ; so that
j duieg as early us lOtti cf March, lh y run' n good
cbanic of forleiiing their bounty, urd s -me of th m ac
tua'Iy put into prison fjr entkavor ng to go iato the
service for which they original y enbs'e i.
To tbo.e ersoiis who are uboat j. doing companies
new, iu order to Ptctire their bouuty, I -. u;J say, look
well to the standing cd' ibe man you j ?in with, ui d to
the probabilities ot the cjmpany ut-iiig made up brf'orrj
the lo'.h iost. It s time that the government wmi-d
put a stop, to tbesj im-c .unmissio.n-1 c Hirers, and a .-pi-rants
for gold lace tnd i pauluts. 1 he jw- r man's rights
and privileges she u'd not be s '.crificed to their ambition
and self uggiunoiz rntnt. VI f, I p'.ould not think
such a system calculated to make go d soldiers.

Gkn. Sherman not to Blams for .not taking Sa

Bust writes :
Gen. Sherman, late of South Carolina, has been iu

by mony of his o'd friends. The utiai is naturally
soioer, bat sensitive tespecdug the criticisms, made in
certain quarters upon his conduct in South Carolina.
lie tiaa bad an interview with the Congressional dele
oation from Rhode Island, and satisfied them perfectly
that be is not responsible for the non-redaction of Sa
vannah. He states positively, l une'erstand, that ire
was explicitly ordered by Gen. McClellaa to desist from
all operations against Savanna's ; and this was after a
regular eieira train had been sent to him for that specific
purpose, vien. snernian s ineuua icti Bucnuat uiC

it gives color to the idea that Le was not so tfiicient as

to d mar.d the surrender of the city ci.d ih: eiev .iou ni
tbe U. S. flag over the Custom House, -i;ht end Bost- j
Office adding that he wua instructed by Capt. ruira
gut to state that he came to protect p-ivate prepert
ami personal rights, and especially not to inter:; re with
the negro property.
Gen. Loveil replied that 1 e v.culd n d furrtuder tbe
city, &e;r allow it" to he surrendered ; that Le was over
nowfred en the water bv their sui erior sesuaeioa, but
that he intended to fight them ou land r.s for-g us he
could txustrr a soldi. r ; that he h-d marched all lis
armed men cut of the city ; that he had evaluated it :
and it they desireJ to shell tbe town, destroying womea
and children, they cculd do so. That it wa3 lo avoid
this he had marched his trocp3 beyond the city limits.
but that a forge cumber even ol the wormn ot tbe city

Dtd in tfo:r g so. lie WeU.ii, tntrt lore, ruoe anu leave

was entertained by Capt. ir arragut, reiterating me e-
presdion of hh regret et the destruction ol cotten
General Lcvell interrupted him by saying that it was
dene by his authority. Capt. Bayiei3 sa;U that be had
no doubt that (Jen. Loveii Lad done bis duty, and tbey
were doing theirs. It was then concluded that Ctpt.
Baykis and the other officers would return to their ships
and tue Mayor would call the Council, and lay bc!orert
the demand of Capt. Farragut. The tfiacers requested
to be protected in their return to their chip?, and Gen.
Lovell directed Col. Loved nnd .Major James to at com
pany them. The ofTrcers accordingly proceeded to the
nont of the City Ball, where they took a cab and pro
ceeded to the wharf. During the interview an imrrense
acd excited crowd of people had congregated about tha
City Hall, who alternately hurrahed for Jefi. Davis,
and Gen. Lovell, and most vigorously gre auto-for
Lincoln and bis squadron."
To calm this multitude Pierre Soule addressed them in a
few elegant and effective words, ccusaehirjg moderation,
self-possession, fortitude and coendesce in their cause, de-
