Sagacity I" execute. Ito has much ndminiStra-
tive cnpacty, and, in our opinion, is IN pro fitted
for President of Southern Confederacy than
any other man in the Snu,h.
Late Foreign News
The Guar'iaH announces the arrivals Of stca-
mcrs from Europe. with news anil dates to the
Goth ult., hut from The pressure on our columns
to-day we can only give synopsis of it. The
most active cxcrtions are being made in France
to place the army in the most efficient condition
AN addition of seventeen regiments Of infan
try being provided fnr. The French Journals
deny, however, that these preparations arc for
any. specific Object, md assert that they IRE
made simply asa measure Of prccaution. and TO
bo in readiness f1r any sudden contingency
which may arise in the spring Warlike mea.
suros are also ON fnot in Denmark. in view of
certain menaces fsnm the Court Of Berlin
The whole of her troops are being supplied with
rifles, horses nre being purchased, soldiers are
being called from furlough, and the fortifca-
tions of critical positions are being carefully
examined. ii stilitics at Greta were still sus
pended, but it was imtimated that the fire would
probably be renewed very soon. Affinirs thro-
out Italy were quiet.
The English press devOtcs attention to the
state of political affairs in this coutry. The
k0ndon Times has an article TN the probable
disruption of aIe Couleacracy 1t concludes
as follows:
The North would have territory as stray,
Cling as that of Prussia. and the Western re.
gion would soon find it advantageous to dissolve
its union with the Eastern. In the meantime
all the riches uf the New World would he in
tho grasp Of the Snutherners. Instead Of ex-
plorng the inhnspitnble rcgnns in the nei.hbor-
hood of the British frontier. which would be all
that remained to the North. the slave.owners
would carry their 'undcniable properly iuio
lands blessed with every advantage of climate,
soil, and mineral wealth Texas has territory
enough to make three or four great States-
New Mexico is about tn be admitted with sln~n
institutions Arizona will fellow Mexico
must in few years be conquered, and the
Southerners, lords Of the most nlaCnifcont do
mainin the world, would control the passage be-
tween the two oceans.
In short, if the Union let's South Carolina go.
there is no saying what may GO with it. 1t is
very we'll to speculate on the return of an er.
ring sister, but experience shows that secessions
when once made, are not easily recalled. 1t is
the nature Of cracks to widen, and both at the
North and West thcro are masses of people so
earnest In the advocacy of strong measures to
prevent disruption. that tho President may
be forced into active measures. For our own
part whatever opinions Americans may have
of English policy, we beg to assure them that.
in this country, there is only one wish-that
the Union may survive this terrible trial =
Sh"nld Providence decree it otherwise we emr-
Mostly pray that the separation may be an am.
icabe one. Civil war, in lourishing country
and among kindred people, can never he con.
templated withou' ,rr0r by n nation like ours,
and we trust that neither the violence of the
people nor the weakness of their leaders will
bring this calamity on the American Union"'~
Later English papers are nervous on the sup
ply of cotton, They manifest a zeal that,ahuws
their dependence on our staple. and its valuo to
us and tho world. Their idea Isl with the revo.
luton going on here. the English markets can.
not be supplied by US. Without this supply
revolution will be upon them--their operatives
must have bread, or they will have bood---
The English government has been approached
on the subject. 1t gives assurance that the con-
snls of that nation in every country will in.
quire into and report the qusntity of cation that
can be had. American ships at Liverpool arc
hosting the British flag and smiling to Charles
ton for cotton, bringing the cash direct.
With the North and the balance Of the world
dependent on us for cotton, it would be strange,
indeed. if we did not have pence, and that
permanent one!
MARSHA. RYNDERs on THE CRIsIs.--Niarshal
Rynders made speech in New York the other
day. We quote from it single passage, which
will show whore the famous Marshal is:
True Democrats at the North will never fight
against the South If that is treason let them
indict me for it or If it is misprison OF treason,
let me be dou indicted. The Democrat who
would fight ag~..nst the South is more than half
Republican. ii Democratic company of
volunteers go South to subjugate the South,
say to them, you are traitors to your country,
and trust the destroying angel will pass over
you in the night time, like over the host IF
Seneeharb. and that the rising sun will look
down on the upturg eG faces and fixed, glaring
eyes of your corpses
Yoico--" You are political demagngue."
Ryndera--I won't go ON till that man 10 put
out. Are you afraid to put him out you d--d
cowardly set? Man is put out Three cheers
are given for Ryndcrs. who proceeds. Who
brought this trouble on our land? Not our.
selves. We had no hand in dissolving the
Union. We did all we could to avoid these
troubles. Buff war comes and have to fight
J will fight to the death for South Carolina.--
lIiurrah for Ryndeiy!
