The Delta, in an article on the war, says
" victory must crown the efforts of men who
are fighting for their hearlhs-who have de-
precated being forced TO do so, and who have
so calmly, yet so rcsolutey, procla med their I
determination to die-Or living, 10 submit TO c
any sacrifice--rather than yield TO their ene- i
mics. who have no other end to gain than that
of suhjugating us to their oppressive Tule-to
ruin and misery"
What spirit of reeklessness and lawless
ness the above displays. How much of sorrow
and woe is now curtailcd upon by this same
mad fanaticism both South and North.
An article in the Georg Telegraph leads
us to opine that the "palricts of the South +
are not so liberal in their contributions to the
Z cause" as they would have us TO believe.
II urges men of wealth to come forward and
asks-where will be your possessions IN little
while, ifdefeat aud disaster befall the South
ern arms! awe repeat, all that Is wanting |
is money. Hasten then to tender il to Pres
ident Davis. Do not delay one hour-cotton
planters this is your war--negro holders, you |
will be poverty stricken five fail. Give Of
your substance then freely-take Confederate
| Bunds-you have done but little Of that yet. |
| Nearly all the bonds were taken by the com
mercial classes. Remember you will have to

your share in taxes. Choose ye."
The Memphis Daily Appeal processes TO see
the handwriting on the wall which consigns
abo!tionism to poverty and perpetual disgrace.
We hope it may, and with it secessionism.
But the Appeal gives Us piece of CONNER
cial information. Itsays, the withdrawal OF
Southern trade has struck blow that has
startled Northerners with the specires of ap
preaching penury. The spindles eftbeir fac
tories have been hushed in silence and the avis
Of their shoeshops been laid in deness on the
shelf Every department of business, sicken-
ed by the shock has disgorged from It's stomach
its myriads OF idle vagabonds, to polute the
thoroag hfares of their cities and villages"
II further says, that at no distant day the
D unclaimed spirits of AbOitionism, Fourierism,
Agrariansm. Free-negrosm, and Freesolism-
I, BLUE spirits and white,
Black spirits and gray
will mingle in their savage dance around the
bon fires Of northern nationality, and hold high
= carnival over the dead body of American Con-
slitutionaI liberty"
q The Jackson Iowa Sentinel, expresses the
q conservative element, which it says is univer-
sal in that State; but while speaking of the
o unanimity with which the people are sustain
j. ing the Northern Administration, says "that
an equally enthusiastic spirit prevades the
e South and concludes with this mournfu re-
D Election, " that two of the largest armies ot
'i modern times will probably be in the field
within the coming three months, and should
NJ they meet in battle, the slaughter and car
l. mage will be terrible.
