ARMING THE NEGROES BY THE SOUTH.I

(From the bedez—boefederate organ.)
Without placing absolute credence in the start-
ling intelligence brought bj the Hibernian, it is ate to
speculate upon it, if not as an actual feat, at lead
as an event which has recently entered into the
rage of immediate probabilities. We have, in the
various rumours that preceded this last direct
an-
nouncement, so many indications that the risestioa
of arming the slave population has been under careful and
serious consideration in the Confederate counsels. It is also
certain that the name subject has been frequently discussed
by the Confederates and their friends in Europe within the
Let few months. The Southern mind, therefore, on both
sidesof the ocean, has been ripening for this step, and, if not
already taken, is prepared to take it.
Intelligeut observers of the struggle have long been aware
that as • bud resort the South possessed an element
of latent strength which, whenever called forth, would at
once shift the numerical superiority to the side which
has heretofore bees the weaker, and thus end the con-
flict. Those who knew the temper of the Southern people
knew that if the alternative were fairly presented between
independence and the maintenance of negro slavery, it
would not hesitate an instant to sacrifice the latter to the
former. The choice made, it is not in the Southern cha-
racter to resort to halfway measures. If the measure be.
came expedient it would be carried out thoroughly and
without delay. If omens were to be armed, the cumin
would be en mean. The chief obstacle lay not in any feet
of the use the negro's might make of their arms ; on
that subject, except in the few localities when the negro
has been corrupted by long contact with the Yankees, no
Southern man ever entertained a doubt. The difficulty me
in the repugnance which a proud nation, regarding the
bearing of arms as a privilege and as honour, must near
eerily feel in 'extending that privilege and that homier to a
servile race. But at the call of patriotism the &ethereal;
would sacrifice this repugnance, as they have sacrificed pro-
perty and life, without hesitation and without vain regrets.
Our only reason for doubt, then, is that we do not believe
the stems of military oeceesity so great as to warrant the
moot this last, though fotallible, reserve. At the mane
time it must be remembered that the South is led by men
who will not wait until driven by necessity to resort to a
measure which they foresee that the public safety may
' require.

The forte which the South can One suddenly throw into
the scale, ensuring prompt success, is easily available. Five
hundred thousand would indeed comprise nearly the whole
number of able•bodied Degrees within t►e jurisdiction of
the Confederacy, but these could be spared with leas
detriment to agriculture' pursuits than any equal
proportion of any other labouring population. The tooth
has abandoned all its usual staples. Nothing is now asked.
from the soil but food. For the production of this
black female labour will suffice, and in health.
hardiness, and strength the females of the Atli.
can race far exceed the peasant women of Con-
tioental Europe. The rich lands of the cotton region
are easily tilled, and the young and aged who cannot
fight ma grow corn and tend cattle. Nor is there any serious
difficulty in organising this force. In the South, unlike kis
North, the relations between the white man sad the black are
well defined, and are accepted by both without question; they
rat upon • reciprocal confidence sad a perfect under.
standing of each other's character. The white man, then•
fore, will not feel degraded or in an anomalous position in
commanding negro troops. If the discipline of the plant►.

and to the responsibility for their good behaviour. Evea the
scarcity of arms is no insuperable obstacle. There are, pro.
bably, enough of fire-arms for • select emu of negro'', al.

be doubted whether they would not be more effective in the
field with the more primitive weapons which the black.
smith's shop on every plantation could readily forge out at
the implemeate of hurbandry. A hundred thousand negro pike.
mu or scytbemes would probabl► be a more formidable body
for immediate service than the same somber of re w recruits
entrusted with unwonted weapons. There is no doubt,
also, that the greater portion of the negro levies would be
quickly thrown across the Northern border, where at woes►
they would have to meet foes no better armed or drilled
than themselves. As fur the tegro's courage, when sup.
ported and led by his master, not against him, we have
never entertained a doubt. The Confederate negro troops
will be as much superior in steakhouse and effectiveness
to the black levies of the North, as the Sepoys under
European officers were to the mutinous hordes of Nana
Sahib. Besides, what the negro lacks in that intelligence
which characterises the white American volunteer, be more
than supplies by implicit obedience and insensibility to
danger, and be thus possesses the very qualities which pro-
feasional officers are prone to consider the highest of the
soldier.

If the military importance of such au enormous scoessiou
to the numerical strength of the Confederacy is almost be.
yood adequate comprehension, the political sad social aspects
of the measure assume even more gigantic proportions. It is
the most complete scheme of emancipation that visionary
ever dreamt of, and, though we cannot disguise the terrible
danger of thus subverting at one blow the whole social
fabric of a great country, it is undeniable that the ezperi•
meat, if it has to be tried, is tried in this form with im.
meneely superior practical prospects, and under fewer die.
advantages.

A CoNirLDIA•TS VIZW OF THZ WAIL—The Tima
this morning publiaties a long letter from " A Confede-
rate," in which the writer contends not merely that the
conclusions which Mr. Seward draws from his narrative ate
mistaken, but that his facts are ao entire misrepresentation
of the axe. So far from the North having pined soy
increase of territory this year, we are assured they actually
hold less Southern ground than they did a year ago.
Though the South lost large prisons at Vicksburg aid
Port Hudson, we are told that, to spite of this, on the whole
they have paroled more prisoners than the North, so that
the two garrisons can at once return to duty, and yet leave a
heavy balance to the credit of the South. The North may
have been able to make use of negro troops at Port Hudson
and Fort Wagner; but it is said they only ruched ea
Southern cannon to avoid falling back on Abolition bayonets,
and if negroes are once called into the conflict, the "dome
and submissive" nature of the "inferior creature" will make
him a far more powerful instrument iu the hands of his
" beloved master" in the South than under the lash of
Northern tyranny. The possession of the Mississippi was
an inevitable achievement of Northern gunboats, but we
are told it is " idle to talk" of its commerce being restored
through 1.000 miles of length, and it is after sll but s
" tibaod of river." The possessimi of Vicksburg was " owe
venient," but no more ; and the banks of the Mississippi are
said to besolioed with swampland woods thetas's if Northern
gunboats should patrol the whole course of the river so so to
pass every spot in its length once every hour, the Con-
federates could transport beeves and troops, and even artil-
lery at will The temper of the South is still said to be
indomitable and united. The Italtigh Standard is the
only sign of disaffectiou to the government, &edit is bought
with Northern greenbacks. Though gold is at zio in the
South, the Confederate finances are more promirieg than the
Federal ,• for the price indicates nothing but the paucity of
gold, and the population are honestly and eagerly paying
the hairiest taxes. Then the 1 • pion troops are asserted to
bold nothing five miles beyond their lines, and the POOW
sion of which Mr. Seward talks is nothing but a military
occupatioo. Lastly, we are muted that when the Federal
armies have pined all the uutports of the country their
task is only begun, they will have to fight a hundred battle
fields, hold every county sad occupy every Court-house by
military force, and their task must at last be rendered im-
possible by the mere inertia of the South.

A WORD ON TRUFFIAL—The vendor in Covent-
garden will never allow that trollies are natives of &eased,
or that soy con be found to equal tb• French. But where
the vendor chooses to feign ignorance is order to prove the
foreign growth of this curious vegetable from which he
derives so large a profit, my readers will, if they consent to
follow me, be admitted into the mysteries of the trade. Nor
need we arose the Channel or rub up our long-forgotten
French in our desire either to discover for ourselves the
habits sad history of the truffle, or to import so many
pounds, at • cheaper rate ; for if these rough black-looking
vegetables could speak, they would astonish their admirer
by declaring themselves, in broad vernacular English, tube
natives of Wilts, Dorset, and Hants. More than three-
quartets of the quantity sold in London, and of the float
quality, are produced to English soil, sod are in reality
supplied to the Loodoo markets by our village labourer
at • very low price ; but as thisie known to few, end as the
public imagine that • cheap English production most be
inferior to an expensive foreign one, so the wholesale dealers
will oontinue to sell them at immense profit as a foreign
importation. On tbe other hand, any purchaser may
ob-
tain this coveted dainty at very moderate prices direct from
the country dealer ; but es, unfortunately, the latter ob-
tains few elders of this hied, be is forced to fall back on the
Loudon doilies, sad supply their demand at their owe
prices, which are sere to be so low as to prevent hitt from
deriving any profit from his trade.—Oscea Watt.
CANLNI MADNIREL —OD thin disease, commonly
and erroneously called hydrophobia, M. Benson "'veterinary
surgeoa, basket published a pamphlet is which he states
some remarkable facts, not quite in accordsoce with M.
'holey's report, of which we gave se abstract a short time
ago. He assorts that the mucosity of biting is by so means
as inevitable ooesequeoce of the disease, and that doge
would certainly die without any symptom of frenzy if they
were entirely removed from causes of excitement. To
prove this asertion, he states that on the 27th of July.
1860, he Meru:wed two dogs and a horse with the @alive of
• mad dog. Cie the sth of August, one of the dogs became
melancholy, remised in a Ira( posture, rod refused food.
On the 6th this state continued ; the animal did not disturb
the 'tree is his kennel, sad did sot bark. Oa the ith it
died, without having had any It of frenzy. The other
dog sod the hone experienced so symptom of disease. Os
the 9th of October following four dogs were inoculated
with the Galin of • mad dog that died on the
11th. Os the 31st following, one of the doge
died with every symptom of furious madness. A few days
biter 'bother died quietly, like the one mentioned in the
first esperimeut, sot having bees exposed to any provoca-
tion. The two remaining dogs continued in perfect health.
M. Benson also shows that a dog labouring under the first
symptoms of the disease does not always display violent
irritation when it sees another dog. He concludes with
the following advice:—not to excite • human patina by
offering drink or otherwise, *beret) his sufferings are
greatly and nenaessearily i , but to keep him
quiet, in which saes it is likely be will expire with the
least possible suffering and without fits. lo sup-
port of this opinion of his, be quotes several come of parlous

tinued and vivid flashes of lightning, with tremendous peals
of thunder, until between 11 and 12 o'clock, when the rain
came down in torrents, and continued without intermission
for upwards of three hours.
This morning some milkmen going to milk their cows,
discovered three of them dead under a tree, where the poor
animals had taken shelter, in a field between Hendon and
Hampstead. At Rdgeware • valuable horse was struck
dead in a waggon on its road to London. A large fin-bell
fell in Portland-town, Regent's-park, but fortunately with-
out doing any person injury. Several large trees in the
parka are entirely stripped of their leaves by the effects of
the lightning. In the plantations of Victoria-perk sad
havoc was made, and several true were felled to the ground
by the lightning, which illuminated the enclosures where
sheep were sheltering from the tempest. The grounds were
flooded, and the lake was overflowing the embankments
for a considerable time.
The eleotaic fluid struck the roof of the boxes of Kr. Malts
say, the telegraph station muter at Mile-end-gate, and
completely blackened the signboard in front of the build-
ings. The landlord of the Vies Tavern, at Mile-end-gate,
was struck by the lightning, and rendered insensible for
several minutes. Police-sergeant 16 IC, who was on duty
in King street, Stepney, was struck to the ground and
remained unconscious for several minutes. A scene
of confusion took place in the midst of the
storm at the Pavilion Theatre. The performers were
astounded by the sudden and unexpected vio-
lence of the thunder, and hastened off the stage.
The proprietors (Namara. Campbell and Chappell), who were
is the saloon, found that the audience were making • re-
treat, and lost no time in explaining the canes of the alartr,
and in a short interval the performance proceeded without
further interruption.

THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1863.

SHARE LISTS---(THIS DAY.)

Two o'Owca.

There is still an absence of animation in the rail-
way market, and quotations present few varia
time. The tone on the whole, however, is
rather favourable. Caledonian stock has im-
proved } per cent., and Midland and Great
Eastern, }. Great Western has needed }.
London and North Western stock is now quoted
1011 to If, el div. ; Great Western, 661 to 67} ;
Midland, 1261 to 127}, ex div. ; lAncsahire and
Yorkshire, 113 to }, ex div.; Great Eastern,
501 to sth, ex div.; Caledonian, 121} so 122 ; South
Eastern, 94} to }, ex div. ; Great Northern, 123}
to 124}, ex div. ; and London and South Western,
102 to 103.

Eastern Bengal stock shows an improving ten- tt
ii
dency. Great Western of Canada shares are dull. lit
Very little business has taken place in foreign 1
lines, and prices are nominally the same as I
yesterday. 1

An instalment of 31. las. 4d. falls duo to-day
(Thursday) on the bonds of the last Turkish Loan.
It is understood that the Loan required by the
Turkish government for the carrying out of the
works in oonnexion with the clearing of the mouth
of the Danube will be of moderate amount, and
that there is no likelihood of recourse being made
to this market, as the necessary aid will doubtless
be afforded in Constantinople. During the war in
1855 the Russians stopped the mouth of the Da-
nube by sinking Tease laden with stones, ha,
soil at the cmoluaion of the war a commission was
appointed to determine upon measures with a view
to the removal of these obstacles to the progress of
trade. This commission included representatives—
celebrated engineers—from most of the chief Euro-
pean powers, and their labours have continued up
to the present time. The money now required is
iu connexion with the same object, and will have to
be provided by Turkey.
About 27,0001. in gold was taken to the Bank
yesterday.
Compared with this time last year, the London
and North Western Railway traffic return shows
this week an increase of 1,5031. ; the Great Western
