Suffering in PHILADELPHIA.

Whilst the Northern press teens with fabu-
lous accounts of the suffering for provisions in
Richmond, we have seen letter from Union
property holder in Philadelphia, to a friend in
this city, complaining that property holders
are unable to collect their rents, and are at
hard straits to procure their daily bread. The
North will inevitably suffer more from this
conflict than the South. We have a firm con-
vction that it has just begun to taste the cup
of want and humiliation which it is destined
to drain to the dregs. Its commercial and
manufacturing ruin would be more certain,
even if it could subjugate the South, than if
it should be, as it certainly will be, foiled ard
baifled in the end. The true meaning of war
of invasion is servile emancipation and, if
that could be accomplished, the cultivation Of
cotton is ct an end. Whether they believe the
fact or not, every Southern man knows it to
be true, and knowing il, has the thorough and
consoling conviction that Northern triumph
would strike deadler blow to Northern COM
meroe and manufactures than the most
overwhelming Southern victory and that the
South, if she should perish, would perish like
the strong man in the temple, dragging down
his enemies and himself in common destruc-
ton.

We fully concur with our conte mporary Of
tho Richmond Wing, in tho satisfaction ex-
pressed by the confirmation Of the reported
re possession of st. Domingo by Spain, hoping
that this may prove the prelude to the rescue
Of the whole island Of Hayti from the
clutches Of barbarism. The recuperating en-
ergies of Spain are beginning to attract the
attention Of Europe. Her works Of internal
improvement have been Of late immense, and
her military power is Oh the advance. The
Wing mentions that the army Of Spain con-
sists Of forty seyen regiments of infantry and
sixteen of cavalry, having a total of some
thing less than $4,000 men. Her naval
force is weaker. She has but four ships-of-
the-line, FIVE frigates, six coryettes, and twenty
steamers, none of the last being of the force
OF frigates. There are, however, besides these,
a great number Of small vessels, so that the
navy sum. up 10 less than 174 vessels Of all
grades, carrying ,453 guns In Cuba, Spain
has constantly, besides the civil guard an
army Of over $1,000 men, which are not
ted in the estimates OF the Spanish army
She also maintains there separate navy Of
twenty-five vessels, carrying 2l9 guns, and
manned by 1900 men. Porto Rico, another
of her dependencies, has an army of ten thou
| sand men more, besides numerous militia
| Her finances arc also in moro Furnishing
state than they have been for years, and hcr
| soldiers, both on laud and sea, have been
| greatly improved in discipline and equip
ments under tho more recent ministries. Fol
these reasons, among others, LOUIS NAPoLEo>
mas been urging tho restoration of the penn
sula to the rank of frst-rate power.
| We concur with the Wing in the hope
| that the Montgomery Government will specdi-
| iy establish diplomatic relations with Spain
| and Brazil, course rendered mutually de
sirable by sympathy of feeling and commune
| ty of interest.

The South In Arms.

A gentleman who has lately arrived in
Richmond from New Orleans says that the
military enthusiasm of the people is perfectly
;ndescribable. Along the whole route the en-
tire population, including even little children,
seemed to be in arms. Without any exagge-
ration, million of warriors can be brought
into this contest, who will fight with courage
such as the world never saw surpassed. With
the exception of ineonsiderable portions of
kentucky, which have been settled by men
from the Ohio side, the people of that gallant
State are with the South both heart and SOUL
and the same is true of the great mass of
Missouri. Glorious Tennessee - summoned
fifty thousand of her volunteers 70 the field
Thee were the men whose fire at New Orleans
was so destructive that the British commander
thought they were regulars, and actually hung
a man for giving him what he supposed the
false information that the men whom he at
tackled were only volunteers from Tennessee
Many a battle Of New Orleans will the North
have to fight before the 6rst year of this war
is ended

Tho Southern Confederacy has picked up
the gauntlet that LINCOLN has thrown down,
and answered his hreats with declaration of
war. The war that is forced upon us is a war
between the free and independent South and
tho Black Republican despotism at Washing
ton. The South has exhausted every measure
for peace, but she is ready for the solemn al
Tentative. Nothing can be more manly and
digniied than both tho style and manner Of
this important State paper.
The South enters upon this warfare with
means and resources which render her more
than equal to the maintenance Of her indo-
pendenco. She stands upon her own ground
che can bring moro man and better soldiers
upon that ground than her enemies. There
can scarcely be less han hundred thousand
men in arms in Virginia alone. ready to de
fend to the last drop of their blood all that
makes life worth having. Tennessee has
summoned fifty thousand volunteers, and the
gallant population of North Carolina are urn
ing out en- naasse to the war. The Southern
railroads are thronged with troops hurrying
to their respective fields of action. The wal
will be waged upon the water as well as land
Privateers are already preparing for sea, and
as many as three thousand applications fol
letters of marque are before the Montgomery
Government. 1t is possible that the media
ton of England and Franco may be inter
posed to prevent the gigantic struggle which
is at hand, and our position and their own in
terests undoubtedly give them the right to in
terpose. The South aaks nothing but what il
! right, and will submit to nothing that i
wrong. She intends to defend herself as Ion:
As man live. who deserves to be called
man, and strong in her cause, her courage
and, above all, the guardianship Of Heaven
| she draws the sword and throws away tn
| scabbard.

Corn.
The Lynch burg Republican says

No one can compute the disaster and misery
which will come upon US as people, should
We fail TO produce this year the most album
dant grain crops-not such crops as have been
called abundant heretofore, but SUCH yield
will admit of waste in the ordinary opera
lions OF war, and perhaps some considerable
DIES ruction from the enemy. A short crop OF
a failure may be our ruin a people, for We
cannot starve and fight. A scanty corn crop
is far more to be dreaded than anything our
enemy cen do 10 iniure US A good hand in
the field worth much to our cause as IA
good soldier in the ranks, and the plan ter who
is using hundred such hands to produce

blow at the cause of his country. Ii you art

corn crop, set about 1t now. Look out tor

the selection Of DR.. W. 5. MoRRIs, of Lynch
burg, Va, as President, and J. K. DowELL As
Superintendent This line is now entirely
distinct and disconnected from the line from

and there is no connection between Alexan-
dria and Washington. The officers selected
are Virginians, and sound to the core. The

THE B.-The Baltimore Erchanqs
holds that the strength of the South is amply
sufficient to repel the attack of the North.
especially since increased by the adherence of
those large border States which have already
manifested their intention to share the destinies
Of the new Confederacy, is not to be gainsaid
That the first decided victory, causing a re-
treat to the invading army, will at once rally
to the aid of the South the remaining slave
States, which now hold an apparently neutral
position, is almost equally certain. This ac-
complished, the independence of the Confede-
rate States will be considered achieved, and
will be Immediately recognized by the Powers
of Europe. If peace be not then concluded
it will be speedily conquered.
