Vain and Idle Wa.

In the expurgAted edition of Mr. Cameron's report
the following sentence occurs;
at ia vain and idle for the Government to carry on
mi. war or hope 10 maintain its existence against rebel
ous force without employing all the rights and powers
Of war"
In this connexion the negroes are represented as con-
s,itung the great strength of the Rebels. While the
masters 20 forth 10 the war; the slaves stay at home and
rroduce the sineWs Of war While this state OF things
continues it ia useless to wage upon the Rebels
thew are inviucble Therefore, their negroes must be
sized corfscated and transported to foreign Chimes
There is mighty change of tune in this. Not six months
ago. the slave population everywhere held up as
,urce of weakness and guaranteeing the speedy con-
opest of the South The Yankees begin to ind Out their
mistake. They are also discovering, that they were
bOrpg under delusiOn, in suPposng that the rebel
lion was petty riot, conhaed to few worthless indi'
viduals. It's great wsr-tOO much for their eoSooo
beroes The existence of their Government cannot be
maintained against it. without instant resort to the e1
tremest measures.
This lowering of tone and appeal to desperate eEpe'
clients argues desperation. With all their buster and
swagger the Yankees have not forgotten Bull Run' and
have no faith in their own proves.

The resolution requesting Lincoln to subject hessrs
Mason and sijell to confinement in clons cell, IN re
tAaon for the Yankee officers held hostages for the
privateersmeu in Philadelphia and New York, WA
adopted unanimously and with hearty cheers from the
galleries 1t is stated in Northern papers chat Lincoln
will take great pleasure in complying With the request Of
the resolution This is the beginning OF system, which
will make this war the boodcst 10 the annals OF history
We of the South have alternative. The cruel anc
couardy barbarians have forced the issue upon u.s.
Thew in disregard Of the law and usages OF civilized ma
TONS have treated our soldiers captured at sea as pirates
and inhe resolution which they have adopted, they
draw distinction between prisoners in the field and
prisoners on water This distinction dictated by the
consideration, that the South having no navy could moi
make reprisas on that theatre, and they would have
the whole game to themselves Bat the distinction il
without difference and could only have occurred to
cowardy wretch.
Be the consequences what they may, we are constra
ed by every consideration of humanity and serespec
TO play the play out The Yankee vulgarians are lost
to all sense of public decency; and the only mode oil
reaching them is that which was employed by the Eng
ush and French on the Chinese, who tortured aud mu
ated their prisoners. Inhumanity to captiVes is the
characteristic of all barbarouS nations; and there Is but
one cure for it, sharp though be, and abhorrent to al
sentiments of a tender nature.

,1exieo and the Yankees.

The treaty which COrWiu has negotiated stpulates
I, lean Mexico ten millions Of dollars, in consideration
of the privilege of transporting troopI over Mexican
territory. This true would be tantamount to Mexico
becoming party to the war against the Confederate
States We see no disposition on her part to occupy
such an attitude towards u.s. for late order to the OIL
GERS at Tsupco directs them TO treat Confederate yes
sells as they DO all friendly nations. still the Yankees
may have humbugged them into treaty by which their
neutrality is compromised.
The poor country is in deporibe state Of weakness,
and in view Of the allied Invasion, may be willing to
take refuge into any port The itea that good round
sum Of mouepvOuld prOptate her foreign creditors,
has probably driven her into the Yankee tolls But ten
millions, even If that sum could he got would avail but
little Her foreign debt is s0verysI millions, and Of
the ten millions TO be loaned three millions arc to be de-
Quoted fer elaims Of American citizens Besides, the
Yankees are not able supply their own vautA much
less help Others IfYankee Treasury notes would serve
the purpose, no doubt plenty of them could be bad
bu. nothing short of the hard dollars will suffice, and
they are not abundant in Yankee land.

The English press beginning TO discuss the advar

Yankee States It very evident that Yankee nsoence

The War.

Everything SO far hear, is quiet the line Of
the Potomac. We infer from paragraphs in Northern
papers that while have been expecting them to attack
US, they arc expecting to attack them.
The news came from the Peninsula yesterday that the
Yankees were landing some 10000 men at Fortress
Monroe and Newport News. The number, of course, is
immensely exasgerated-ss their whole navy could not
transport such a multitude. 1t may be that they are
neditatug some movement in that quarter. Letters from
Fortress Monroe Northern papers aude to such
design.
From the West, we have nothing special All the
papers that reach from that region speak in terms Of
UNQUALIFIED condemnation Of the rumored removal Of
Gen. Price The report is deemed too monstrous to be
credited
