September 30th 1863. j
Dear Sib>—
From the conversation which wc had on
yesterday, and from a free interchange of opin
ion with many of the best, and most reliable
men of this county since that time, my atten-
tion has been called to a critical review of Gon.
M cCulloch' s published address, to the people
andsoldkis of Texas, of the 17th inst, and
from that review, I am constrained to say .that
the text, much lew the spirit of that address,
does not to my mind, warrant the construction
put upon it, not by you,but by many of those,
with whom both you, and I have conversed.
i'ou will observe that after picturing the
evils, we would be subjected to, if the enemy
is allowed to overrun oar country, the General
bursts forth in a patriotic,ind eloquent invoca-
tionto nil, to stand forth, and in some way
manifest their determination to resist to the
death. "Let us show" says he "that, we are a
united people, and determined to be free—that
W(B will purchase liberty for ourselves, and our
children,or fall martyrs id ourcountry'scauSe"
let us show "that while we resolve to be free
ourselves, that every man must do his duty in
this trying hour"-—lei us show that "we cannot
nor will not permit our people to be divided"
that "he who lives among us, must be of #$,
and tcith us—that the test of loyalty will be
the service ot the man, by his presence in the
field, or voluntary, and strong aid in fitting
ou,t for the field and supporting the families
of those wno can, and will go,—and if the en-
emy" at last "should drive us back, and over
run a portion of our beloved country" let, as
above all show "that no man, no not one,will
be left behind our army in possession of prep-
erty, and home; as we (the people) are confi-
dent that a true man will not stay to fall into
the hands of our invaders; and we are deter-
mined a doubtful one shall not."
I have thus paraphrased the sentence in the
General's address in order to show more plain-
ly the meaning. It means that the high-acts
of devotion recommended ought to be the feel-
ing whieh animates the breast of every triend
of his country; and this really is the only fair
construction that can be placed upon hie lan-
guage. He no where says, nor did he ever in
tend to say, that he as the commanding Gen-
eial of the-army, in case he should be compel-
led to retreat before the invader, would drive
every man before him, and make a desolate
waste of all the country in his rear—as some
persons appear to believe; it could not be ex-
p cted that any General would leave in his
insmediato line of retreat, either men likely
to prove enemies, or provision on whieh the
foe could subsirt; but even this much is not
taii in th.e address, as any candid reader must
admit on a careful perusal. And I now ask
yon, my dear sir, to take up this letter with
the address itself before you, and see if in any
place I have misinterpreted it,
1 wiite ibis much that you may have it in
erutor in Brownsville. Gov. Flanaszin has or-
dered :>1! the militia to rendezvous at Arkadeb
phia immediately. Considerable excitement
prevails there. It is thought Price will make
nd endeavor to
prevent the further approach of the enemy to-
wards"1 Texas. Cuii. News.
(rtiarters I called his attention to a construc— a bold defence at that place, a
turn which had been given to hi? address—rep- •> '
resenting to him, that he was understood, to
threaten, that in a certain contingency, which
we .ill hoped would not occur, but which was
possible, he would devastate the whole coun-
try, and drive before his army, the women,and
children &c. The General disclaimed any such
intention, and gave in substance 'he explana-
tion contained in Col. Roberts' letter. Hia
object wag to awaken in the bosom of the peo-
ple a spirit of patriotism which would prompt
all to deeds of noble daring;and of self sacrifice,
and to such a course of conduct as would ren
der it impossible for the enemy to sustain him-
self long in this country, if he should ever suc-
ceed in getting here. Gen. McCulloch is de-
termined that every man shall so far as in his
power, perform his duty. His policy is to ef-
fect this by kind, aud gentle means, and he
will not resort to sterner, until these are ex-
hausted^ He intends to do justice to all, and
bring about unity 01 action by allaying all as-
perity of feeling so far as he can. He regards
every men as a true one,wno will now perform
his duty.
