Mur der! -Man in. my room,' etc. Under the circumstances this was quite natural inas4 much ks more than one mistake of tthe kind) had happened in the house recently. .

THE LESSONS OF THE , ! . . ; I' V j - ONLY HOPE OF THE WAR THE SOUTH. Gen. Jeft Thompson has addressed the follow ing circular letter to those who; were under command during the late w , Boston, Mass. , 8ept 3, 1S07.' letters Gestlemen : I have received from am on? voul askinsr what I : various mean by any let ter toJMrTPrientice bf The'pjuisjffiUe Journal, in-! dorsing Gcb. Longstreet ? and what advice I have to offer you as to your political bourse? If have delayed answering these letrers, in hopes that I would soon Teturn to New Orleans;1 but, finding that I cannot return for several weeks,, and other letters having Come that will brook no delay I have determined to address you a circular,! that II may no longer oe misrepreseniea ana misunaer stood among those who were my, true friends in our darkest hours, and with whom I havej shar ed so many hardships and dangers, successes and defeats. One of the letters received contains the st of all, and I will answer it; it says : ." Longstreet is country which forever damned throughout the became the theater of his immortality, and your old friends are not reserved ih their anathemas against you. ' Give me ome argument; with' which to defend you, for I am too well acquaint ed with the spirit which animated' you in oar disastrous struggle, with your cheerful endur ance of suffering and your persistent iealty to the last to believe that you nave abandoned your devoted followers. Or have relinquished the prin ciples or memories of the past." ! I I For God's sake what has JUorgstreet done to- damn him-? for wnat am i anatnematlzedr from what'dol need defense? Ib0 war produced 30 purer or braver man than Gehj James Longstreet and surely from the first to the last I have proved myself to be laitniul and true, and J dely any man to point to one word.or sentence in my let ter to Mrl Prentice that breathes a want of love for our people, or to a fact stated that cannot be substantiated. I am award that sOme' scribblers have assailed me, but lthey belong to the Tray, Blanche, i and Sweetheart order, .who simply obey the instincts df their own natures, by bark insr at what they do not understand," but I am loth to believe that any tried soldier -will doubt; another's honesty because e may differ with mm in tne pianstaaccomplish the general good,' and I have an abiding faith thit they will let any comrade have the privilege to j exercise his j own. judgment as to the best manners to build up the country without being anathematized, and I, who Was a leader in the beginning1, and a folio w er at the end, and who during j the whole strug gle was with you at the front,! orj a prisoner of war, will positively assert andj manfully maintain mv right to express my opinions freely upon all subjects affecting the welfare of the South, to , and among Southrons, without i fear or favor from chimeiical theorists or bomb proof poli- ticians. i .. If the war was to defend the South in the exercise of its belief of the right to secede, then I do not re gret the fight, though I may. hive to grieve I over thedeata of this theory. If the war jwas to preserve African slavery; then I do not rjegrct the struggle, though I do grieve over the loss of ?4,000,000,000 worth of property, and the sad " "fUte that awaits the poor negro; but if we fought four gears' simply for the personal triumph ot some political partisans, a few of whom, wottld jstill make us believe that the country is rhincd only because hey are excluded from office, then I sincerely regret the conflict, and will grieve; anew ovejr the graves df the brave men who ftil around me. I must again icpeat that " I did not fight the United States because I hated the United States.4 I did not fight the North because ' I hated the North, ; but 1 lought ior what! 1 conceived tQ be the honor, the safety, and the material interests of the Southern people, and I am struggling how, in another way, to accomplish jthe j same object, and I will make as many sacrifices ,i and labor as earnestly and persistently as I any man in lhe South to control the political elements, to devise plans and projects, and put in! successful opera tion enterprises that will build up our poor, desolated,- ana impoverished country. 'This is rhat the South really needs; this is all the truly patri otic men of the North ask ; and I will advocate the best plans, in my judgment;, to accomplish the object, regardless of who originates. or iup- forts them, Whigs, Democrats, Federals, Repub icans. Radicals, Conservatives, lor Eclectics, j . This is all the defence I need. Tell the peOple I am still for the honor;" safety, and jnaterial prosperity of the South, and while I will not cast a shadow on the graves of our dead, or extinguish one ray of the glory of our manly struggle, yet I must bid the living look jto the future, and help build up our common country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Lakes to; the Gulf. j Tell them to remembe' that politipal theories, like sectarian (religious) theories, are principles only in the minda of the bigoted an4 foolish, .nd. demagogues are only too apt to misapply these terms, to mislead them. Constitutions and laws are subject to changes, by; legat means and by revolutions, and when changed are to be obeyed ; and if. the lessons sad experience teaches are hot heeded, then are people unfit for self-government. and the sad fate of Republican Mexico will be Our J a - 1 -n 1 - ....

J ' u' '" : 'vl- ' ;'ij ..:!';V- ;- H i All now sgree that, by right of revolution, our States were out of the Federal j Unidn, and our Government wasja de facto Government; there fore, if our conquerors think that safety or jus tice requires that the conditions upon which these States may be re-admitted into ithe Union : shall be that our leaders in the field and prominent statesmen must he denied the right to vote or hold office, and also that political equality must be extended to the negro, though; we may know this to ; be grievously mistaken statcsmanshipt yet we must accept these terms or ; do worser fo we cannot stay out or stop the march of events as the power is still in the hands of our political enemies. A fewyears will demonstrate the' wis dom or fallacy of their theories, and during this probation we should work to build up our broken fortunes and prove ourselves worthy to be trust ed ; therefore, I advise you not to mope over the past, but remember; our, "Lost Cause" only as the widowed husband remembers his bride when he looks upon bis' motherless children, accept all political privileges that may be granted you, and then, without being actuated by hatred or re venge (neither of which, are soldierly sentiments), strive manfullv lor' the true interests of your - State and Country by working to. develop her resources and increase her wealth. , ? ; ,r r :f i Should you differ with others as. to the best plans to accomplish these gbjects,' still be friends and colaborers in one Common Cause,' which now she uld be, as it once was, the greatnes and glory of the whole United States. - This is what Itohl you at our surrender at Jacksonport, in June, 1865 this is the substance of my .letter to Mr: ticc and I urge it upon you now ; and if for this I am to be anathematized, let the dogs bark until time shall prove that I hare been ever and alwavs vour friends if f 1 ; . - - : i : -i t.-fkttbwat1 : I i L' - n kookr uoOkk .
