WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
The Baltimore Transcript says the South is at this moment in the most profound quiet and repose. There is not a rebel in arms; there is not a United States soldier necessary to preserve order in any part of the Southern States; there is absolutely not a ripple left to show where the great ship of the Confederacy sunk, and sunk forever. Yet, at Radical meetings, the proposition to march slaughtering, burning and confiscating columns into this peaceful and unresisting South, is received with uproarious applause. In the name of humanity, justice, civilization, what does all this mean?
