Confederate government, could it be esab- I

carry it around the Gulf. The pe'p'c o. the |
North will feel less opposition TO 1t the more
thew become convinced that its limits are re-
str;cted, its political influence declining, and
its final extinguishnlent certain; while oo'h
North and South would fain avoid servl'e IN
surrectons, and prefer that emancipation
should be brought about BY peaceful ana
Gradual means rather than by sudden ana
violent ones. =.
But what if no important Southern cities
be eaptued? no groaS diversion Oh arms

If foreign patience be exhausted, and 1orelgh
fleets avpear before our b.ocka'ied ports or
Northern ha,bors? Or what ii the South,
defeated and disheartepcd, but determined
not to be conquered, should set free her bond'

The administration perhaps fears none OF
these things. Its chiet fears seems to be the
loss @! the border, and especially OF hen'
tucky. ut whose demand, we presume, it has
snncrseacd Fremont. The withdrawal OF
the Border from the Union and its jnnc!lon
with the South seem not at all hsely under
he nreseut Administrations The interference
, Of foreign nations is less probable than Ii
was months aro. The tailule Of the wheat
crop ia Europe renders the importation OF
the North more important to it even than
those of the South. The tone OF public op'i'-
ion, both in France and Il & gland, seems to
Indicate decreasing tesdency to interfere
in our struggle, and au increasing sympathy
with the Nortl4ern states.
