(Column 4)Summary: Criticizes the Spirit for defaming "the gallant Army of the Potomac for the purpose of throwing the cloud of despair over loyal hearts."
Excerpt: "We do not expect the Spirit to represent the gloom of rebeldom truthfully, but we submit that it should not thus defame the gallant Army of the Potomac for the purpose of throwing the cloud of despair over loyal hearts."
Full Text of Article:The Spirit, in an appeal for Union men to volunteer, says that "Rosecrans has been beaten back into the fastnesses of Chattanooga; Meade beats an inglorious retreat from Lee, and retires within the fortifications at Washington--and all for want of men." Three days before the above was printed in the Spirit, Meade was pursuing Lee on the Rappahannock, and if Meade has lately been "within the fortifications at Washington," we are quite sure that no one but the writer for the Spirit had the news. We do not expect the Spirit to represent the gloom of rebeldom truthfully, but we submit that it should not thus defame the gallant Army of the Potomac for the purpose of throwing the cloud of despair over loyal hearts. In another article of the same paper it says that the rebellion "is revelling in the pride of its strength, and pressing our armies back from all its borders!" What a capital organ for Jeff. Davis the Spirit would make. While the whole press of rebeldom is mourning the disasters to their legions of crime at every point, and deploring the waning strength of Treason, the Spirit reminds them that they are "revelling in the pride of its (the rebellion's) strength, and pressing our armies back from all its borders!" Could the Spirit be forced into some benighted corner of rebeldom, where they don't get the news, what hopes it would inspire in its country's foes by the grateful intelligence that the Old Flag is receding from all its borders;" but in the regions of intelligence and light it would only wring contempt from despairing traitors for its awkward falsehoods so clumsily disguised with blatant professions of loyalty.
[No Title]
(Column 4)Summary: Reports that Provost Marshal Fry determined that "the payment of $300 has the same effect in regulating the credits in the respective districts and in the State as if the conscript had actually gone into service."
