An illustrated paper printed at Leipsic,
Germany, compares the North and South
in this .orcible way; "What the South
lacks-money, men and the favor of God.
What the South has-niggers, yellow fever
and the alliance of Satan. What the North
has-money, men, a righteous cause and
the sympathy Of humanity. What the
North lacks-pirates and thieves"

Words are little things, but they strike

WHEN GENT SCOTT WILL MOVE
Gen. Scott remarked to Gen. Morse
of Massachusetts that he should not
move in the direction Of the enemy
until he was ready, and that when he
makes movement, it will be conduct
ed with a sciupulous regard to the
saving of any unnecessary bl0odshed,
first among his own troops, then among
the ranks of the rebels. But he will
bag as many prisoners as possible,
firmly beiieFing that, as in the case of
Capt. Ball and his company of Fair
fax cavalry. when they are brought
into contact with the truth concerning
the real intentions of the Government,
and are convinced, as they will be,
eEhen out of the reach of the PERM
Gious Influences now surrounding them,
of the utter folly and madness Of re-
beliing against the Government, they
will be glad to return to their allegi-
ance. .

A BALTIM ORE correspondent says
have heard this morning, In CONVEX
sation with some loquacious rebels,
that not only is the masked battery,
pittfall, and ambuscade system to be
resorted to, wherever it can be used,
but that advance of the United States
army is to be resisted by hidden mines
under and ecross the roads and high
ways, which are TO be i'loVq qp, while
our forces are creassing them. The
generals and other officers should take
care not to b. caught in such traps.
They heye already been needlessly
surprised by masked batteries, and q
little more caution will do no harm.
They have the devil to fight, and
ought not to be outgitted by his sa-
tanic majesty.

"A Lesson from History

Some of the Southern communities
are making soldiers out oftheir negro
slaves This element of their social
system has not been largely repreSen-
ted in their military preparations as
yet, but the subject is deing discussed
by many OF theIrpublic men, and their
journals have been threatening to
meet the Northern Abolitionists'
with negro battalions armed and drill
ed on the plantation. Seeessionists
have called the Indians from the forest
armed them with tomahawk and rifle,
and are sending them Northward, to
contend with our armies, and they
will certainly use the negro. We do
not see how anything could be more
dangerous or unwise than to teach
the blacks the experience OF war. In
many districts Of the Cotton States
the negroes far ontnumber the whites
and are only controlled by efficient
discipline. w
Gibbon, in his History of the Decline
and Fall of the Roman Empire, Pal
ludes to an instance of war in which
servile soldefy took a part, and it
might be safely com nended to the
people ofthe South. The war allnd-
ed to was consequent upon the cxpui-
sion Of the Sarmatians by he Cloths,

stantina the Great After relating
how Wisumar, Il e Vandal King, de-
Tended his dominions alone and UNI
assisted, with unGauntea courage, and
how he was yanqnished aud SHIN in 4
decisive battle, which swept away the
flower of the Sarmaiian youth, the
historian says "The remainder of the
nation embraces the desperate expedi-
ate of arnling their slaves, hardy
race of hunters aud herd6men, by whose
tumultuous aid they reyenged their
defeat, and expelled the invader
from their confines. But they soon
discovered that they had exchanged a
foreign for domestic enemy, more
dangerous and more implacable. En-
ragged by their former serVitude, elated
10y their present glory, the slaves,
under the name of Limigantes. claim
ed and usurred the possession of the
country which they had saved. Their
masters, unable to withstan the un-
governed fury Of the populae, prefer
ed the hardships Of exile to the tyra-
ny of their servants. Some of the
fugitive Sarmatians solicited less
ignominious dependence under the
hostile standard of the Cloths.

HUNDRED COMPROMISE TROROSl'
gIoNs.-A remarkable announcement
is made by the correspondent of the
World, to the effect that Jefferson
Davis, having become alarmed &C his
situation, has sent commissioners tt
Washington who have proposed to
the Administration two plans Of CON-
promise-oae being to recognize the
Southern Confsderacy for q temporary
experiment of their Government and
failing in that to induce Congress to
pass law recognizing and legalizing
slavery forever south of the Missouri
line. Among so many unfounded ru-
mors and surmises WHICH the Newspa-
per correspondents have imposed upon
the public, the first impulse on read
ing such an announcement is to pro-
nounce it absurd, but, nevertheless :,
the usually cautions editor gives it a
lift, by stating thHt the information,
though not official, is 'from source
entitled to respect" The propositions
are stated to haze baep made as fol-
lows:
First-That the United States nn-
conditionally recognize tie existence
of the Southern Confederacy, and
that the latter be permitted for term
of one, two or three years, to carry on
their Government as an experiment.
That the expenses of the war, thus
far incurred, be equitably arranged
between the two sections, and that
each do it's best fo2 the maintenance
of friendly feeling and intercourse be-
tween the two peoples. And that ii
at the expiration Of the time agreed
upon, it be found that the experiment
cannot succeed, q commission be ap-
pointed to re construct union
This proposition was peremptorly
rejected, whereupon they modestly
put forth another as follows:
SecOnd-The South will be con-
tent if the Government will pledge
itself to pass, at the coming session OF
Congress, an irrepealable constitution
al provision rec ogniZing and legalizing
forever the in stitution Of slavery below
thirty-six thirty, which is the South
ern boundary line of the State Of Mis-,
souri,. This done, the Southern Pro.
.viSicnai Government pledges itself in
stantly to abandon the war, and re-
establish peace ard the most cordial
relationship, so far as its section is
con ,erned; to re- di. ect the course Of
trade into its Aceust omed channels
and in every way restore the happy
days of our forefathers.
AS to the reception which this prop
osition received, my informant was
positive, though from another source
| gather doubt. He states that il
also, was peremptorily rejected Il
seemed to the party of the second
part mere fntensifcation of the
Crittenden amendment, and not vary.
ing greatly from the Adams PROPOSE
tion. Others say that the acceptance
of this proposition would not be un'
acceptable to the Secretary of State
and, therefore, will meet with favor
from the President. Between thu
two cannot decide.

Departure of the New Jersey
REGIMENTS.

Trenton, June 28.-The First
Regiment of the three years New
Jersey Volunteers left here this morn
inesfor Washington, filing twentyone
cars. The Second and Third Regi-
ments left this afternoon, by way of
the Camden and Am.oy Railroad
They carried with them the tents and
other camp equipage provided 10y the
Qnarternlaster General at the direction
Of Governor Olden, and at the request
of the War Department.
The horses belonging to the officers
will follow Immediately. Each man
is provided with three days cooked
provisions, and FIVE days provis ions in
bulk also go with the troops to pre-
vent the usual complaint of the want
of rations on their arrival at Washing
ton. They ere supplied with eighty
thousand rounds of cartridges for the
brigade, twenty seven rounds having
been delivered to each man. The
men eff the different regiments seemed
to be glad Of their removal to the
seat of war. Large crowds of friends
and acquaintances were present at she
departure of the different regiments.
1t is cause of qualification to the
military authorities here, that the
clothing furnished to the soldiers is of
superior quality, and even better
than the sample presented.
The battery of artillery commanded
by Major Hexamer of Hudson county,
has been accepted by the United States
Government, with the condition that
the State Authorities wonld furnish
them with addional guns and horses,
to be accounted for by the General
Government. This condition the Gov
ernor is not prepared to accept at
present, and snch representations have
been made to the War Department
as it is hoped will authorize the in
slant departure Of this valuable corps
to Washington, or whatever other
quarter they may be ordered.
Lieut.. f. G. Belville has been des-
patched by the authorities to WASH
ington, to make, as far as possible, ar
engagements for the reception of these
regiments All the men were placed
in the cars, and departed hence in six
trains, without accident. Great cred
it is due to Col Charles Scranton and
n. Y. HalSted, aids de-camp of Gov
ernor Olden, and to Mr. Benz. Fish,
one of the directors of the Camden
and Amboy Railroad Company, for
their Successful efforts in getting this
large number of men well and safely
slowed in the cars provided for them.
The satisfaction of the men is as great
praise as they need
The bids for the State loan of half
a million, for which proposals were
opened yesterday, will not be named
until the lst of July.
