TIE GERMAN PRESS ON THR SOUTH
,Ry REBELLION.-The kreutz Zeitung
hold, the following language:
European politicians have been too
nonc to regard the United United
States as an overgrown body, whose
appearance Of exuberate health was only
a hectic flush prophesying speedy de-
cav to All experienced eye. They have
been too prone to regard the present
struggles as the agonics Of death. But
now that we have felt the strong pulse
of twenty millions OF freemen beating
with unconquerable ardor, the march
of Iiberty-we see our politicians have
erred. These agonies are not the ogonies
Of dissolution, they are the panys Of a ner
Jtrth."
The National Zeitung, of Bertha pa
pcr of opposite politics from the last
praises the North in extravagant terms
for the alacrity with which she has
sprsng to arms and the rapidity with
which, she has raised and organized an
army. History" it says, "presents
no parallel, and the Americans have
proved themselves possessed Of the
same transccndent energy in prosccu-
ting the pursuit of war which has dis
tinguishcd them heretofore in the arts
of peace" The Cologne Ztit,ng proph-
estes the speedy overthrow of the Da-
Wis Conteder,cy, while the AigimerM
Zsi,ung of Augsburg-thc most influen-
1ial paper in Gcrmany-is unqualified
in its sympathy with the North, The
Leipsic Illustrated publishes noticea-
bic article, ofwhich the following is the
gist:
What the south lacks: Money, men,
and the favor Of God.
What the South has Niggcrs, yell
low fever, aud the alliance of Satan.
What the North has: Money, men,
righteous cause, and the sympathy Of
humanity.
What the North lacks: Pirates and
thieves.
The best hopes and God-spceds of
Christendom are with us.
A SINGULAR CASE A man named
Whitworth, a resident of Washington
Territory, was taken to Ringo's Hotel,
Victoria, on the 14th inst, apparentlyin
deep sleep. Drs. Haggin and Trim
bic were called and found the patients
skin moist, respiration easy, pupils of
the eye natural, and pulse at Is. A
light snoring was noticeable at times:
the eyes remained partially closed, and
no uncasincss was manifested. For
twelve days he remained in this condi-
ton, during which time he took only
about eight ounces of nourshmcnt, III
the shape of beet tea and brandy. He
expired on the afternoon ofthe Goth inst.
Tie doctors who were in attendance
upon him made post nsortem examina-
ton, and discovered the deran cement
to be caused by water on the brain.
Previous to this last attack, he had
been subject to the same sort of de-
rangement, Eo,e lasting over thirty
eight hours; and although extremely
weak for day or two afterwards, APP
pearcd to experience no other bad eff
tects.-ISmes.

ma Browplow, of the Knoxville
(Tenn.) Wing, says: idle boasts are
made by Secessionists that in a few
days we will soon be offfor the North,
following in the footsteps of Gov. jack
SON. We can say of these foolish pre-
dctions as We said by St. Paul: None
of these things move U.S. Here wo
are bound to remain, and, like free
white men, owned by no one, we shall
speak out our sentiments, freely and
tearlessly. And if we fail, with Gods
grace it shall be at our post at Knox
vile, and with our face toward our
enemies, the enemies of God aud this
