LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(TDB DAY.)

PUBLIC OPINION IN THE SOUTH.

The Richmond Examiner, of January 2, has Bonn
emansate upoit a desponding article of the Richmond Sal-
tily:, of December 30. The Examiner aye :—" The blind
panic of the writer makes him even unable to me
that leather Ragland, nor France, nor Spain, nor the
three combined, would touch as with the mid of the
longest pole if we ones made so belplem ea exhibition of
eamelves. Nation" are sot ' Good Samaritans.' If they
ass a weaker brother fallen among thieves, wo sad
ball deed, they do sot trouble themselves ended bard
fate. They do not even pees by oa the other Bide, but
empty his pockets, if peradventure there be axiiewhat lett
to take away from him. If neither England nor Frame
will so much Si recognise us. not even know
at our exiatence, while we ere vigorously balling
end beating back gigantic invasions year alter
year, in haughty reliance on our own prover
and good cause, and able, also, to offer them advestegeoas
alliances and reciprocate benefits, how would they rewire
snob an invitation as this, now that we are slaking and
swishing under the mighty power of the Tasks* nation 1"
Alter alluding to the digester to Hood's army, the,
Examiner Gloms its .A is a review ad Kr. Davis'
mismanagement—in these words :—" But all this wee super-
/amok The evil was already done. The enemy had sac
mess, and the hot year of war bad not arrived. These are.
unpleasant reininim enees. bat we moat suds the past to
understand the future. To forget what is disagreeable to
remember will not assist our judgment in events to oome.
The people of this country can only preserve their
lives and liberties by efforts to prevent the repetition of
that conduct which has caused their diemeene. It is the
duty of Congress to take some decided steps to prevent earl
means of defence from belag thrown away say leafs at
hap-heard, and at the warm than hazard fangs, smesielly
of one unlikely mesa. Ootamooplao• ispedimin far nisi
up the maks are worse than melees. The military Ads at
the ooafedersey mast be oostrolLid by more judgment sad
better muse. Although the condition al them asks is net
now whet we had • right to expect they would Mat Eli
time, they are not irretrievably lost. The oceshiirmay h
still able to make en indefinite resistance and esseenefal
defence against all its enemies, but only on Googlies Real
its efforts are guided by some calm wisdom and oondasted
oa a oossistent plea."
The Mammal Whig, of Jan. 4, gays :—" Three of our
contemporaries seem to be engaged in • controveny se to
whether it would or would not be better to return as
ooloclsta to Great Britain than to submit to the Yankees.
We have not paid to this controversy the attention whist
ems usually sword to the suggestions of our neighbours, fo
the simple reason that we can conceive of nothing more
unprofitable at this =swat, sad in ear oireameteacen.
England cannot re.colonias us if she would, and we think it
pretty certain that she would sot if she could. Great Britain
has been guilty of a peat blunder is overlooking
the claims of the confederacy to her notice, and
in truckling as she has done to the Yukio's". She has
neglected an opportunity of certainly bumbling the moat
formidable rival that she has is the world, and has thrown
upon us the entire burdes al a war in which eke is quits as
much interated u we. If the Yankees could snooped in
subjugating us, the doom of Great Britain would be sealed.
Before the year 1900 she would have lost all her ships and
all her odoaiee. Ireland would be torn from her peep
sad she might tremble for her sapnemity eves in Eeglan&
Smelt. She cannot avoid the war which Yanks,.
dam is determined to force upost her, by yielding and
succumbing. That is not the way to preserve peace.
That is not the way that Napoleon 111. prevent' all Europe,
in • body, from falling npoa him. He is always ready to
strike, and it is for that maws that be seldom has occasion
to do It. So far from taking ea beck se /statists with the
encumbrance of such a war as we should bring aka; with
us, Ragland, if the cowardly ocausel of the Load°, Tinges
be worthy of notice, is ready to give up Canada as goon as
the Yankees make a formal demand. The Confederate
States alone have the courage to face the whole power of
Yardaredern. It seems mace as though England should one
day booms our colony than that we should ever become
here."
