I tailed on (iovoinor Morgan on

I hour's lonveibiitlon with him, -
prcbslng my wish nnd earnest de
blto that ho should accept thu pliu-e,
more on the country's nccouiit than
, his own. Ho gave mo no t.iviniilne
icbponse. Said that Thuilow Weul
I had spent sovetal hours with him
i that motiilng to the saute ehect us

change his mind, but that he would

reviewed the giLiiud, stntcwise ami

Is Seward's object- He Hover In
Mich iiintteis acts without a motive,
nnd Weed would not have been call

will ho leave It? Will bo go abroad,

titude of itiMtlons which j put me,
showed that Morgan had given the
' Hiinjcct lnncli tliouglit, mid especial
ly as It affected himself nod Se
ward, Morgan has his own nsplru
tlona, and Is not ptepaied to bo used
by Weed or Seward la their own.
My own Impressions nre that Mor

Jealous of him as M (organ) Is sus

the continuing motive with Slew

We have word thht Sheridan has
had a battle with a part or l.ee's
army, has captured six rebel gen
erals and several thousand prison
ers. His dispatch Intlmutes the al
most ccttnln capture of I.ee.
This rebellion, which has convuls
ed the nation for four years, threat
ened the Union, and cuused such
Kncilflce of blood und ti ensure, may
be traced lit a gteut degree to the
diseased Imagination of ceitnln
South Cuiolltia gentlemen, who
iome thirty or forty years since
studied Scott's novels, and fancied
themselves cavaliers, i nbucd with
chivady, u superior class, not boril
to labor but to command, brave be
oud mankind generally, more. Intel
lectunl, more geue,rous, mine hos
pltnble, mote lbctul than others.
Such of their couutiynieii iih did not
own slaves, and who labutcd with
their own hands, who depended on
their executions ror a livelihood,
who' weie mechanics, (rndets, nnd
ttllcts of the lo'l, were, In their es
timate, Infeilots, who would not
light, wero religious and would not
gamble, tiiotnl und would not conn
touanco dueling were seiloiu, und
minded their own business, econo
mical und thrift-, which wns de
nounced ns mean and miserly. Henco
the chlvulious Caiolluluii affected to.
and actually did finally hold tho
Yankeo In contempt. The women
taught tho direction. They weie to
ho palilottc, levolutlonury matrons
and maidens. They uduilrcd the
bold, dnuhlng, swaggering, llcenll
ous, boasting, chlvulious slavo-mus-(cr,
who told them he wanted to
fight tho Vaukco but could not kick
and Insult him Into a qtiuricl. And
they disdained und, despibcd the pi
ous, peddling, plodding, pieservlng
Vunkco kho would not dilnk, and
swear, and light dules.
Tho speeches und letters of James
Hamilton nnd his associates fiom
1825 forwurd will bo found Impreg
nated with the lomunco and poetry
or Scott, and they cnnio 'ultimately
to bellove themselves u superior and
better iaco. I.nlghls or blood and spl
ill. Only a war could wipe out (his
nnogaiico and folly, which hud by
iel
party nnd sectional Instrumentali
ties been disseminated through u
largo portion of the South. Face to
face In battle and In I.chl with there
slandered Yankees, they learned
their own weakness anil (their) mis
conception of the Yankee character.
Without seir-assumplluii of superi
ority, the Vunkce wus proved to bo
im hi nve, us generods, ns humane, as
chlvulrlc, us tho vaunting mid su
percilious Carolinians, to say tho
least. Their Ideal, however, In
Scott's pages of Mtirmtoit, Ivauhoe,

South, than to other sections less
arrogant and presuming, hut moro
Industrious und fiugiil.
On the other bund, tho Yankees
