those heroes of New England pulpits " who point
like fingerposts the way they never go," and take
good care to keep themselves safe from all risk of a
practical acquaintance with the South, the Fede-
ralists in general are becoming aware that it is quite
in the power of their enemy to retaliate upon them
their own fiendish policy, and that the negroes may
be used with much more effect against their pre-
tended friends than against their hereditary mas-
ters. It may be that to this consciousness alone,
and to the terror it inspires among those who feel
that it may soon be their turn to suffer what
they have tried to inflict, is due the frequent
repetition of these reports of negro levies in
Tennessee and elsewhere. We have heard, in-
deed, one suggestion which might account for
them. President Davis has manifested from the
outset an obstinate resolution under no possible
circumstances to imitate the Yankee practice of
putting prisoners to death in cold blood; and his
determined clemency has provoked great complaints
among the countrymen of the men so basely mur-
d, red by Burnside, Butler, and M'Neill. Yet he
can hardly hope to save the lives or Federal officers
taken in command of negroes, unless he could ex-
change them against Confederate officers holding a
similar position. It will never be possible for him
to propose to deal with Federal Sepoys as with the
equal antagonists of Southern soldiers. It is said,
too, and with some justice, that the heavy losses of
the Confederates and the resolution of Mr. Lincoln
to strengthen his armies by the enrolment of ne-
groes, may have forced the South to a similar expe-
riment. But the levy en masse of the white popu-
lation ought to furnish as large a force as the Con-
federates can require ; and the negroes of the North
are not numerous enough to prove a formidable ad-
dition to Federal strength. And the enrolment of
negroes would be exceedingly unpalatable, both to
the army and to the people. The Confederate ge-
nerals are soldiers and gentlemen, and they have
resisted strenuously all endeavours to make them
depart from the usages of civilised warfare, and to
imitate the barbarism of their antagonists ; and it
is not likely that they would look favourably on
the enlistment of troops whom it would hardly be
possible to restrain within their own chivalric rules.
The soldiery, though less averse than the Federal-
ists to negro comrades, could hardly fail to feel
their presence a degradation. And every Southerner
would understand at once that the enrolment of ne-
groes would give a death-blow to slavery, and
thereby inflict irreparable ruin upon the property
of the States. No man who has once fought for the
common fatherland can in any country be held as a
slave. Everywhere the right to bear arms is the
characteristic of a freeman, and the,fact of having
borne arms suffices to emancipate the bondsman.
And the presence in the South of a hundred thou-
sand negroes freed for military service would render
the retention of their brethren in slavery a moral
anomaly and a political impossibility. We are sure,
therefore, that the enrolment of negro soldiers, espe-
cially in any considerable number, is the last card
that the South will play ; and we hardly think that
she is reduced so low as to be forced to play it
already. In her extremity, no doubt, she will have
recourse to such a measure, though with full fore-
knowledge of its ruinous character ; exactly as in
their extremity the Dutch never hesitated to lay
their country under water.

The wheat trade since our last has been very inactive.

prices of last week. A few samples of new were offered.
Foreign was quite neglected at rather less money than last
Tuesday. Barley sold slowly, at last week's prices. Oats
6d down, with a limited demand. Beans and peas slaw at
