y PEACE PREPARING FOB WAR.

amos since at a small gathering of the
democracy in the upper part Of the city,
and their meetings during the present
.nvass are very much of the nature of an
lie yisitations, ''few and far between
= heard some thing like the following
som one of the speakers: Queen Victoria,
ofEngland, he represented to his intellec-
,ual audience, as particular admirer OF
the Southern portion of this confederacy,
and the process of ratiocination by which
he arrived at this interesting fact, was ra-
,ber ingenious, though somewhat far-fetch-
Al 1t seems that at one and the same
time American letters were represented in
Tuoland by two distinguished literary
Crsees: the one the amiable and accom-
1Iished lady resident of our neighbor, Mo
IiIe: the other the world-renowned cham
nion of negro freedom, Mrs. Harriet Beech
Or Stowe The former obtained readily
the entrc to the court circle, was honored
With an introduction to Royalty, and was
the eynosure of all eyes at the birth night
hall, where she shone resplendent with all
the native graces of true American wo-
man. The intellectual Amazon-the no
torious biographer off, Uncle Tom," though
ehaperoned and lionized by the Dutchess of
Sutherland, was never able to pass the
threshhold of Buckingham Palace. In
court parlance she was never presented"
The much coveted honor of an introduc-
tion TO her Majesty, was peremptorily de-
MED. and the authoress of Sunny HoWs''
vas never able to bask in the sunshine of
Ioyalty Queen Vic, though importuned
by her ladies in waiting, and Maids of Hon
OF. was inexorable. She actually snubbed
the Minerva of the Abolition press, and
turned the cold shoulder on the champion
of negro freedom. What in the name of
Heaven, we remarked, soro cocc, to a
friend beside us, has all this to do with the
election of Buchanan? Why lug in these
three respectable females in such an un-
Genial place, and in crowd rcdolent of
the villainOus smell of bad whisky, and FL
thv long mines? The speaker drew no
conclusions from his interesting little cpl
SoIe, so gratifying to our Southern pride
and GR,our propre; he was too shrewd for
that, for it is not polite yet to preach open
,ions he meant to convey, and the corrola-
". we're SO obvious that the flimsy cover
inc could net disguise them The covert
idea that was intended to be understood is
SIMPLY this: That Queen Victoria, in dis
eliminating between the two sectional can
GilateS for her gracious favor-the North
efn and Southern Muses-honoring the
litter and cutting the former, went to show
that her sympathies and feelings were with
the South and against the North, and that

5aat We shall stand most desperately in

.. inhabitants of the free States, confident
!; count upon England sending over her
sFIay and navy to hell us in this interne-
cine and fratricidal war. Public speakers
and journalists, and some OF them with
Northern blood in their veins and bound
tc the North by the indissoluble ties of
bisth and kindred, indulge in fancy sketch

lurid horrors of war, devastation and blood

torefathers relred with so much toll, and

An alliance with Great Britain. as we
have before said, has been entertained as
4 aderaies resort, when we shall take the
field against our northern brethren; when
the sons of those who fought at Lexington,
Concord, Bunker Hill, Monmouth and
Saratoga, shall be engaged in bloody strife
with the descendants of the heroes Of
Charleston, Savannah, Camden, Yorktown
and the COwpens- Gov Wise. in mar
sialilng his anticipated forces in hostile
array, counts his armies as follows-First,
the combined and united South. Foolish
man. TO think of such thing A South
Grn COnfederacy under such a mad-cap
leader as Wise, would pe a rope of sand.
1t would not last the lustrum of Presi-
DENTAL term; the distribution of offices
Itself would break it into fragments
Next, the one hundred and fifty or two
hundred thousand of ''true hearts" at the
North who would join us, and lend help
ing hand in butchering their kindred, bur
hIng their houses and desolating their
homes. Then in the enumeration come
our faithful slaves" who, when disciplin-
ed by the commander-in-chief, "can and
viii repel the Black Republicans and their
traitOrous allies" These will constitute
the personnel of the army proper, or stan
ding army of our confederacy. For subsi
darles we can rely as faithful allies on .'oul
lnends across the water"
These are the prospective arrangements
