factnring interests. .
A N?W York paper, comnienling ?a tho above,
ijki . m '.
The West is beginning to be awake to tho fact
hat she has been thc cat's paw of New England
uring this war,' that she has spent herself; lav
thod her wealth of nie* and money to build a
lew EngUnd plutooracyv If tbs West is once
lirly roused on this subject, there ia trouble
head, and Near England may wtll tremble for
1er supremacy. Her pet idea of ruling thc Union
hrough tho votes of Southern alav?s, making use
>f them to acquire and retain preponderance in
ho Government, and tn torn Congressional legis
atlon into a scheme for promoting the interests j
f Now England, is beginning to bo understood, j
rho South understood it years age ; tho West, us
ro soo, is beginning to have a suspicion of it now.

A SOUTHERN WOMAN TO THE NQ KT II,
To llte Editor of titerN.. Y. Tribune:
Sm-lu various Northern and Souther
newspapers I have read, with feelings of il
suppressed indignation,- most pathetic &<
counts of the terrible sufferings. and horxi
brutalities practiced .upon the Union prisoner,
at Andcrsonville, Ga.,, and wondered if thu
were tho only priso'n ',?n* th? broad ?u?te
Statt s that " could ?tale unfold" which w'oul
shock outraged humanity. Have any of th
keepers of Fort Delaware, Camp Chase
Johnson's Island, and- other bas?fes of th
North, been tried for-cruelties practiced up
on Soul/iern soldiers 7.y.
Thousands of .haggard, emaciated wreck
of humanity, made s? by starvation and cold
endured under their. boatment, could testir
against'thein, to say nothing of that "cloui
of witnesses" whose ' wearied ?pirita' are not
enjoying" eternal roll and whose 'bodies Bj
sleeping in a strange land, but whose voice:
speak even from their graves.
. Lqoking at our returned prisoners, witl
their long, bony flrrgers, hollow cheeki, ant
gauut, attenuated forms, and listening to th)
mournful stories- of ?their dungeon life, tole
i? hoarse whispers, broken by hollow coughs
which, with the brigbjt.kectic flush and pre
teniaturally brilliant, eye, tell a tal.e-saddei
than their words ;, and finding that no 0n<
had as yet demanded Pedresa for their wrongs
I could nd longer Jrcep silent, especially as
in.those Northern"prison's, all that extreme
harshness was ?iftreZy'nnnecesaary.
Tka11 he prisoners of Anderson vi 11 e suffered
is reasonable to suppose, . and I expect they
do look back with horror upon the portion ol
their life spent lhere. 1 do not know that
prisons; at best, have ever been legarded ai
Very-charming places of abode.^ But whose
fault was it that they suffered at all f Thc
Confederate authorities?' -i should think not.
Time. nndJirn^:^2^;^id Mr. Ddvia oflettc
exchange, nndint??erejeetion'of those offere
lay all the blame. What means bad the
South of providing -for such a large surplus
population ? Did not " thc best Government
the world ever saw " blockade all pur porte,
proscribo, medicines, wines and comforts ol
all kinds, as contraband ? Did not " thc best
Government the world ever saw " send ils ar
mies, worse than any swarm of Egyptian lo
custs, through our land with fire and sword,
destroying everything the oyecouldrcstupon?
And, even if this sunny South' had been the
perfect El Dorado they seem to imagine, from
their eagerness to come in and possess it, and
furnished three crops a year, the fearful rava
ges of a General Sherman and a General
Hunter, which were on such an extensive
scale as to excito even their owu admiration
{vide Gen. Sherman's report of'his Georgia
campaign,') would have completely exhausted
it. Like the Pharaohs of old, they demanded
the same tale of bricks, yet withheld the
straw. More people in this- Southern land
beside thc prisoners at Andcrsonville suffered
for the want of Ih? luxuries and even the
comforts of'tins-life. It was a mailor of ne
cessity. Then Itt the blame rest where it'be
longs-on the Government which bad tlie
power to rescue its soldiers from-sharing
these evils, yet failed to rise it.
The idea of implicating Mr. Davis, who,
before the war, and since, in every enlightened
community, has occupied the position of a no
ble Christian gentleman, with complicity in
anythmg.that savored of barbarity, or uf ac
cusing him of promoting' officers for their
profioiency in starving prisoners, ia loo absurd.
That he was the President of an unsuccessful
Republic, and suffers for its failure-though
no more culpable than every mun who voted
for him-is simply tho fate of war, and no
reason why he should be. assailed with the
foulest aspersions by every little editor or
correspondent, desirous of currying favor
with the " powers" that be."
True to Yankee nature, nothing can:be
done without a sensation-flaming, exaggera
ted articles must appear in their papers
photographs of their prison lifo, for which the
public is indobtettehitrly to the imagination
of the artist-everything is resorted to, lp
inflame the mtud of the Northern people to
avenge wrong's that never existed ; while, it
w'ouil eeeni that just tho opposite course
should be adopted, if they really wish to es
tablish peace and good will ' between the two
sections. In oae breath, they cry "Peace,
peace, reconstruction and friendship," and. in
the other " Blood ! blood J Avenge my wrongs.
The blood oif ?ur murdered men calls ipr
vengeance." But have we no wrongs to
avenge 7 Are not some rights due the de
feated ? That wo failed to establish a sepa
rate ltepablic seems to have been the will ol
God, and we thc . people bow with humble
submission as the only course left us. Per
haps thefuttiro 'may show that it is for tho
best j bit this it is given "us to feel now,' that
?Tl tho insults and oppressions of those in
power ire very grievous to bear. And now
! that " trim-visaged war has smoothed his
wrinklel front," and justice and .'cir!!' law
pretend to rule the land, where is tho sense
or justwo of punishing an act committed-.by a
.Southern man in the service of what "he
thought was bis country, while tire' same act
is justifed and approved in a Federal, simply
because success j?as crowned tho arma of thc
latter1? Must success cover every .crime?
Heaver knows we havo had.tho worst of this
fight ii every way I While -the war lasted;
we exjccted no rights, and certainly' received
none; but now there ia no need to pfeid a
"militiiy necessity .'^ It seems to' me the
most ibjec: cowardice'to lise tho mll??rry
agata.* a people who have 'sfa?wn that they

Guinn Livelihood?
The Springfield (Massachusetts)"Repubti- i
can, an able Republican paper, on this! sub-' r
ject, saya: J V" !
If one of this class is appointed to any of- ?
fice or allowed to be a candidate for any local r
position in.the South, there is a hue .and cry c
raised about putting rebels in .power. Thc., j
dissatisfied do uot seem to recognize- any va
lidity in the Executive amnesty and pardon,
or at least fad to comprehend that they involve j
full absolution.. So ii a man, formerly prom .
inent as ? rebel, is nlaccd in any p?s?ipnjby.
thc Southern people, it ja quoted against them }
as evidence of their persistence in.reoel?ion. ,r
General Joe Johnston' was- recently a candi- "
date for the presidency pf the Danville Rail- |
road in Virginia, and a majority of stock- *
h?lders voted for him, but Governor Pierpont 6
got the impression in some way that hiaelec 9
tipo, would -?ive offence at Washington, and (>
so intimated to thc stodiholders/and the volt- 1
pf the Stale for ils stock was then given lp.
Buford, thc other candidate^ thus electing
him. Perhaps Buford is the best man Tor .9
the position, but General. Johnston is ene of 3
the most civil and eminent civil engineers in l(
the country, and' the stockholders voted for ti
Lim because they thought he would promote 8
the interests ol the company. Now, if- Gen. fi
Johnston-is. -allowed to live,: and to support' o
himself, it is -impossible to give any gcod h
reasons for excluding him from the profession *
for wh'icB he. is best fitted. We neither get- ?1
indemnity for the past, nor security ipr the- 0
future, by excluding such men from the bu
siness pursuits, for which -they are qualified. *
Indeed, the employment of those who were n
lately rebel commanders, in peaceful pursuits, c
thus giving them a personal interest in the <:
tranquility -of-tho^ country, -will manifestly
prove an element in cur f?toro security.- sr
General Johnson bas sinco been elected j
Prrsident of one of the railroads in Alabama, &
and it is not treasonable to hope lhat he will r
manage it wei!, and make money for hiinselJ I'
and the company. There has been a great P
dcalxif stupid rhetoric expended on the fact (
that General Lee has been made President t
of Washington College in Virginia, and the t
trustees hive been denounced. ??
N?IL S. BnowK o.\ TTIE SITUATION.-Thia b
distinguished Tennesseean, at the meeting i;
held in Nashville on the 23d alt., was called
upon fora speech. The Nashville Gazette -b
gives the following report : ? a
u Neil 9. Brown having.beexr called4br,he b
took the stand, and said he felt some delicacy a
in taking a prominent part in the proceeding* p
of the meeting. The resolutions mel his h
hearty concurren:e, and ho intended to give *
President Johnson his hearty-support, "Lei- al
the past pass away ; to history it belonged, -ft
and to history he commendedit. . If he"could -o
show that the South was right and the North ti
wrong, or rice ver?a, what effect would it '
have? It would not bring to life'the thon^ p
Bands of brave men who "have died in main- SJ
tal tiing their opinions, nor soothe the sorrows h
of the widows and orphans. Our duty now o
is to set to work and repair, as far as posrible, ll
the damage sustained, and to kindle in the g
minds of the people a patriotic feeling. Many
had lost wealth, but what of that?- b
The conflict, over which all mourn, is ended, ii
and he bas yet to seo tho man engaged in the S
rebellion who is not heartily in favor of har- a
mony and good will. There may be, and t<
doubtless arc, dissatisfied persons, but-their a:
occupation ia gone. The Government of thc p
United States must be. sustained, ardently
and honestly, and he rejoiced that President \]
Johnson promises to pursue a policy so .wise, b
broad and patriotic. Let us not-despair.-tl
We may meet hard cases, but let the machine a
rub on. We already begiu to see the light
of day breaking aronr.d us, and all will soon c
be at peace. The President has issued hie li
amnesty proclamation, and h granting par- if
dons to those excepted. Let each of us pass e
an act of amnesty and forgive all who have o
injured us. Every man who bas a soul big' v
enough, to be saved should forgive and be
forgiven.". ' . -:

valuable services, which, but for the war, per- _
