than wi,hou. them. In carrying on war, multi.
,.de of men are required teamsters and for 9th.
or manual labor. For many such purposes ne,
rroes would be more useful than white men, In
Southern climates; and being necessarily scattered
and in the presence or neighborhood Of any armed
force they would not make the slightest resistance,
II disposed But it is probable a great many of
them would side with their masters from affection
aud choice. The South has double the white pop.
ulation which the whole country had during the
war Of independence then she has also a mighty
army In her sckly climate (sekly to Northern con-
stitutons) and wide exent of territory. The South
could If necessary, raise force of 600 900 fighting
men; sufficient to resist any army that could be
sent against them from any quarter. la short we
do not believe that there is nation earth that

lists. The English, in the war OF 1921 in spite
of all their efforts captured decoyed about Coo
slaves, for which they afterward ndenniied the
owners"
Now, here is poor pros pect for Black Repub-
liean invasion, according TO the candid statement
of this independent Northern Journal What
chance then, has the warrior Fremont to win dis
tinction here; he who, according TO Commander
Sehenck, of Ohio was never within pistol shot OF
single engagement in California? Or will they
make Maj. Cen Webb, who threatens the South
with fire and sword, commander in-chief of their
forest In that event, we eau possibly match him
with another. DAFT Green, with mahogany stock
percussion lock, &c. We advise these traitors to
forcing the South into dissolution and civil war
The time has not yet arrived, when an attempt to
subjugate the South would be other than madness
but if it is ever to come, would rather it would
happen before the disproportion between the
wealth and population of the two sections are still
farther increased.

the confederacy will continue unbroken, adds
but this belief is founded entirely upon another.
viz: that the public sentiment at the North wi

right 1t is t. the sober second thought of the
North that must look for our only hope of sal
