Quarrel of the Traisors.

Col. Foruey writes to the Philadelphia
Press from Washington:
There is late intelligence from Richmond to
the effect that the cOnspirators are surrounded
with factions and covered with clouds of de-
srair. While ii is not doubted fat they haze
intelligence OF most Of our movements, and
that recent events have given them something
of prestige, they are SO conscious of their
own weakness and Of their own poverty, and
so we'll convinced Of the awful Preparations
of the Federal Government, that their pnly
escape from utter defeat is by making o rapid
and combined attack upon this capital. This
they are wise enough to see, if successful, would
give them an enormous advantage. and vet, if
they should fail, it would be the grand coup de
grace OF their whole conspiracy. The obsta.
cles in their way, however, are obstacles Of ma
ture, of finance, aud OF party politics. II must
Ue rccolltcted that the railroad uniting
Namassas, Acquia Greek, aud " nchester with
Richmond, made them independent cf fhcse
means OF TRANSPORTATION wlcn will be indis-
pc nsable wien They advance upon Washington.
That they are comparatively vi thoul nlgpus o.
transportation and subsistence is nOtUriOus.--
Next comes the question CT money. with all
the attending horrors growing out OF the rap.
idly contracting blockade of their whole coast.
Finally, the division among the leading spirits
of. the secession cabai. WigGal aud Davis
have had terrible quarrel, and Gov. Brown,
of Georgia, has deEonnced this selfconsiitutcd
President, and his evident intention to estab-
Iish a monarchy on the basis of the ~outhern
Conlederacy. The jealousy of Virginia by
NJ
ery and Richmond. aud the undisguised dis
pleas ure at the -exactions and tyrannics OF Ba-
Wis by such men as ZUliieoFer of Tennessee, "A.
G4liitin Brown, of Mississippi, and Fi;zpat-
rick, of Alabama, are all evidences Of the
growing weakness of a movement originally
corrupt and revolutionary. How could it be
otherwise? fhe only matters of which the
South has any real right to complain were the
disappointments of ambitious poi.iciars like
Davis, Breckinrdge, SIidell Yancey, and the
South Carolina aristocracy; and su e,yr these
were not cacula,el to awaken any honest in
dignaton. or to keepaIive any permanent ex-
citement. The war itself was brought about
by thees reckless men. and the whole idea of in
vasion, Wit. which they are frightening the
souls of tirlid men, is of their own creation, j,
for their own vile purposes. The Southern
States are flied with the elements of djsaffec-
tion in regard to the petty despots at the
head Of the rebellioD- OF this you may res t
assured.
Davis is at hear. tyrlat; Mason a poor,
besotted, ignorant concerted ass; Hunter a
timid and shrinking scholar; Wigfull low
drupkard; Toomos brlyyart and Il blusterer;
and SIi'tcll dark games er With the destiuie5
Of his country. Now, when we recollect that
these are the men who have p!ung ID the Dem
ocratic parry into ruin, and who have always
! kept Gown the Wings ami Conservatives of
the South; whose whole practice has been to
make close corporation by which to take
care of themselves alone, it is easy TO see that
heretofore moderate men like Geo. S. Houston
and Gov. Winston, of Alabama, Sam. Hous-
! ton, or Texas, Summers and RiYes, of Virginia
Bell, Of Tennessee, Pierre Soule, of Louisiana
! lIershel V. johnson, Of Georgia, will indig
nantl7 refuse to be carried further forward in
a scheme which, if successful, is only to erect
1 Davis into an A,utoc7at, aud his followers in
to Dictators aud is to whelm the whole Soutt
into one common ruiA. Why is it that Alex
ander II. Stephens has latterly been SO SILENT
Why is it that the Richmond papers are so ful
Of complaints and dark insinuations? Why i
it that so many leading men from ArkanEa
nre protesting, as 1 have heard them almos
daily, against the insanity of Davis and hi
conspirators2 1t is, repeat, because there i
worm craving at the heart Of the Confed
eracy; because there is no real confidence ii
It's endurance, and because. Furthermore, it i
intended 10 establish either q military Dicta
torship, or an inexnrable monarchy. We com
plain of our divisions and oug traabIes; let u;
look for a moment at the rsverss of the medal
which discloscs the designs and The dangers o
The SoutbsFn traitors. ~
