Great PnpJc mr. the sopth.

From a late issue of the New Orleans Delta
we clip the annexed .
All the towns and residences on the lake
shore and Gulf coast beyond the Rigolets
where Fort Pike is situated are liable to be
pillsged and burned by expeditions sent in
open boats and barges from the enemy's
ships, anchored in the neighborhood, to say
nothing of the possibility of light draught
gun boats and yachts being employed for
the double object of capturing the New Or
leans and Mobile steamboats, and ravaging
the intervening coasts. General Twiggs,
who has a residence at Pascagoula, looking
at the situation with his practised military
eye, entertains serious apprehensions of re.
suits such as we have described, and the.
General feels well assured that the Lincoln
forces sent out to punith treason aud REBEL.
len will not fail TO embrace the first conven-
lent opportunity for burning the house and
laying waste the property of so conspicuous
q "tIsiior" and "rebel' as himself.
We have the authority of this experienced
officer for declaring that the situation is one
which calls for immediate defensive meas
uTes; and from the same competent source
we have the suggestion of a temporary plan
for defending the route in question until we
cen get the ships and gun beats which are
wanted in the defense of our coasts and har-
bors. This plan is TO furnish the steamers
ply ing between New Orleans and Mobile
with one or two six FOUNDERS and a guard Of
forty or fifty men each.
This would prevent them from being
boarded by expeditions sent from vessels of
war anchored in the Gull, and enable them
to drive back or sink any boats going from
the same vessels to burn the towns at Pascal
goula, Biloxi, Mississippi City, Bay st. Louis
and Pass Christian, and otherwise ravage
the lake shore and Gulf coast. This is a
measure susceptible of instant adoption, and,
until others can be matured, it strikes US as
enc Of peculiar fitness to the emergency.

For oureelvea II the Secessionists nre In no
hnsle 10 seek a conflict W do not see why
we should be. If they take no Immediate
advantage Of the lateness Of our preparations,
II they allow us u, 20 on strengthening our
positions and making ourselves fOrmidable,
collecting and disciplinipg a mighty army,
lowering at the mouth of their ports with a
navy which shall shut them out from all i'm
t~ercourse with the world, and threatening
them from the junction of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi with q force, which, at the coming Of
the first autumnal frost, may set out to over
run the Gulf States and occupy the very cap
ital of the rebel government and break their
CONF deracy in pieces; IL they suffer all
these plans to be carried into effect without
making an early effort TO prevent their exc
eution by a series of desperate engagements,
we shall believe that either they never in
tended to fight, or that they find themselves
encountered by a state Of things so different
from what they expected that they nave re-
noupced their original plans in despair. If
neither Of these suppositions be true, the
stctding States must be ruled by idiots.
Washington is now secure from invasion
and all the forts occupied by the United
States are placed beyond danger of capture.
The rebels can wrest from us nothing that
we Tow hold, and, confident Of this, we may
take our time for other military measures.
The posts whicha are to be retaken we may re-
take at our leisure and in our own way.
Meantime, the blockade, which is a death
blow to the prosperity Of the South, will go
on. All summer the seaports of that region
will be kept in a state in which the only sign
oflife will be the alarms that occasionally are
felt of descent from the vessels of the Amer
lean Government The time for occupying
Montgomery and New Orleans, and Mobile
and Charleston, will, ofcourse, be postponed
till next autumn, when, if the blockade shall
not have effectually performed its work,
sterner c~ounsels may prevail, and the great
army of the West may move down the Missis-
sippi and break up the rebel government.

THE INTENTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN REBELS

THE INTENTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN REBELS.
A correspondent of the Charleston Is. o.
Mercury, writing from Richmond, Va, says:
An army is an artificial thing there must
be men, but there must also be arms, imple-
ments, utensils, clothing and provisions, and
at the very spot where they are needed.
These are being prepared as rapidly as posi-
bic, and, as fast as they are prepared there
are men to take them. In this way the State
is dotted by eucampments. think that,
upon the call TO rally, there could be assem-
bled at least fifty thousand ready for their
work; but they will not rally yet. For the
present, at least, we will await the fire of the
enemy.
If he shall make head toward Harper's
Ferry, or Norfolk, or Richmond, we will be
there to meet him. And though l am sure
the war will yet be Carried into Africa
that the South will not be contented to bare
her bosom only 10 the stroke-yet | feel
equally sure that the movement will not be
made until after the enemy shall have left
his strong position, and until the North
shall 10y her side more completely bare to
an Efficient stroke from an active and we'll.
appointed army. The North will feel the
war'to her hearts content but she will be
permitted still more richly TO merit the suf
feIings she will have invoked.

TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT IN GEoR-
GIA-A Large Number Killed and Wounded.
The Montgomery Advertser learns from a
gentleman, who arrived in this city on Fri
day night, that a frighuul railroad accident
occurred on that day, on the Southwestern
railroad, seven miles above Americas, Ga.
He represents the scene that was presented
soon after the unfortunate occurrence as one
Of the most heartrendiDg character. The
rate, ran of the track, precipitating the pre-
ciOus freight Of human beings down a steep
and high embankment. Two men are NOR
tally wounded, while a number of others,
including many ladies and a few children,
were more or less injured. Every assist
ance was given to the unfortunate, whose
condition was indeed pitiable.

Paying a Northern Debt Declared TreasOa
in she South.

The Memphis (Tenn,) EOsning argus says:
When our Southern merchants made their
last Northern purchases on time, they did so
in the expectation that the commercial rela-
tons of the country would be uninterrupted,
and made their calculations accordingly.
Since those debts were contracted, the North
ard East, without the consent of the South,
have passed q new tariff, have stopped by
blockades, and the creation of panics, the
usual flow of trade, on the uninterrupted
continuance of which the Southern buyer
calculated for a sale of his purchases, and the
obtaining thereby the means of honest pay
ment.
The North has taken the means from him /;
has wilfully and knowingly done all in his
power 10 cripple Southern trade, and daily
max es q boast of having lone so; and yet
expects that Southern men will pay debts,
even when those requiring pay ment actually
state that the money received will be cheer
fully given TO the Federal Government to
aid in maintaining blockades on Southern
ports. ,
No arguments can refute these facts and
in view Of them we repeat that every South.
ern mar who pays a Northern debt till our
commercial relations stand on their old foot
ing, is guilty Of treason TO the South.
The argus need take no pains to convince
its Secession readers Of the correctness OF its
views, They have no idea of paying their
debts, and that is the last treason of which
any "loyal son of the South" will be guilty.

AS n B~elligerent.

The British Government, il is said, recog-
nizes the Confederacy as a belligerent; that
is to say-we suppose-as a party whose
wars are not necessarily to lie considered
and punished as marauding and piracy. This,
as we take it, IS simply to relieve itself of the
obligation to pursue and capture its pri-
vateers and try and hang their crews and
officers. 1t is equivalent to a declaration
that it stands out of the way, and permits
the parties to fight it out between them.
selves; and is a very different thing from q
recognition of Southern nationality, in res
pect to which, it waits to be governed by
circumstances OF this, there is nothing to
complain on the part of the United States,
which asks nothing more than to be let
alone.
1t was the desire of the British and French
Governments TO put an end to privateering
by declaring it piracy; but to a treaty propo-
sition for that purpose, the United States
Government refused to accede, and the ne
gotiation failed on that account. Had it
been otherwise, privateers sailing under
commissions from the Montgomery Govern
ment would now be exposed to capture by
British cruisers in any of the waters of the
world. The United States, under Southern
influence, failed to give its aid to one of the
great humanizipg measures of the times, and
may suffer some in ~nseqneuce

ImpsrtOnt Judicial Opinion = The Law
Against Piracy Without Legal Pro-
lection.
A special telegram, dated Boston, 18th
inst, says: 'f
Judge Sprsgue, of the United States Dis
trict Court, a few weeks ago defined treas On
very clearly. To day he laid down the law
against piracy. He says the statutes on the
subject, being enacted pursuant to the Con.
stitution, are paramount authority, and cam
not be invalidated or impaired by the acton
of any State or States and every law,
ordinance and constitution made by them
for that purpose, whatever its name or form,
is wholly nugatory, and can afford no legal
protection 10 those who may act under it.
Comparing the seeded States to q portion
of a foreign country in revolution, and
claiming TO be independent, he says if
the Legislative and Executive Depart
ments of our Government utterly refuse
to recognize such new Government, or &C.
knowledge il as having any belligerent or
national right; and, instead of taking a neu-
trial attitude, endeavor by force to suppress
depredations on by such assumed
Government, as violating the rights and in.
f'inging the laws of the United States, then
the Judiciary will hold that such depreda-
lions are NOT TO be considered as beiligerent
and entitled to immunities of lawful war, bat
as robbery, or other lawless depredations,
subject to the penalties denounced by our
laws against such offenses.
There is another view, that mere rebellion
absolves no man from his allegiance. Citi-
zens of the United States, therefore, may not
only be subject to the penalties of treason,
but if they commit hostllities upon the COM
merce of the United States, under a COM
mission nom any foreign nation, even the
Oldest and best established, such as England
or France, may be dealt with as pirates.
