They knew this fact by heart, 'fhey understood it ill its fullest st gnilieanee. They thought and talked of it hy day and dreamt of it in their cabins hy night. They longed for tin; breaking hour with a longing that was unspeakable. They watched and followed the new star that had risen in tlm American firmament until it became fixed at A ppo mattox. and beneath its essential light t he eleetiieity of lihert v invested them. Hut, never a hand did they lift, through all those long years against the lives and the homes that lay breathing and helpless before them, and thai gave nerve ami hope to the hlow that was internal to ri\et the shueklos. Willi a fidelity that was uparalleled, ami a simple virtue that was unapproachable, they rose up at the earliest dawn, and laid the rich fru'ts of then* mireauitled labor at the feet of the lonely lady whose husband and son were striking against their dearest rights. They led and supported the armies of the Confederacy. A*, many a juncture of the conflict, these laborers, comprising a million of men, might, have risen in rebellion ami shattered the arm ol the S mth in an hour.
