Cos'plimentary-Ths New York Erpres.
pays 4 high but deserved compliment to
the ladies of the South, when it says that al,
pains them to reflect that the most impulsive,
perhaps the most Infatuated parties to this war,
are many Of the women Of the South. All
along they have been among the leading Sc
sessionists, particularly SO in South Carolina
and Virginia. There have been marked OK
captions, perhaps; but they have been like tho
angels visits, few and far between"
The editor, and his brother "Hessians,"
will find, as this war progresses, that
the race of the noble DANES is by no means
extinct. Patriotism and love Of right over
wrong and oppression is instructive with wo-
men, while with such creatures As the writer of
the Rrpre", patriotism is controlled and di-
reetsd by interest. For instance, whom it re-
commended him to Southern homes and hearts
Brooks was, Or pretended to be, a nation al
man. His interests being in jeopardy, he joins
tho foul pack Of hounds RAINING at tho heels
Of Abe Lincoln, and none excel him in crying
"havoe-let slip the dogs Of war" Anything
that he may think lamsntabo in the conduct
of Southern ladies, the latter will Of course
consider in tho light Of compliment.

THE REACTION IN THE GULF STATES
The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more American, writing on the 1 th, says ::
Letters received in this city from north
Alabama and parts of Georgia represent a
great reaction in progress against. the seces-
sion movement. So strong is this feeling in
some quarters that they are saiG to refuse
to acknowledge the secession ordinance,
and keep the Stars and Stripes flying. The
same feeling prevails in portions of Missis-
sippi and Louisiana, and the question natu-
rally arises, will the Southern Confederacy
use coercion against its refractory subjects.

gress was shown around the House OF Rep
resentatives to-day, in which he deplores
the reaction in the popular mind in the
Gulf States, and fears its increase if a COM
promise is effected satisfactory 10 the border

ton:
1t is for you to determine this session
if, after its close, it can be regarded as any
longer polite for this government to ac-
cord such commercial privileges to the gov
ernment of the United States as are &C
corded to citizens of the most favored ma
tons with which we have treaties of friend
ship and commerce, based upon principles
of reciprocity, when the United States Gov
eminent refuses to accord to US similar priv
ileges.
