New York again in Commissions.

New York is making another attempt to
frighten the South from its propriety. We veri-
ly believe that over that city which has become
drunk with prosperity and crime, the deep
thunder cloud Of Divine dispieasure will ere
long launch the bolts ofrighteous retribution.
Ifthere be . God that judges the earth, IL can
not be, that city which has no parallel in
its rapid grow tn, grow tn based on South
srn produc tions, and at the same time has no
equal in the moral and social corruption OF
its people, should be permitted TO commit
such gigantic crime as it now eontemplates,
without overrunning the cup of Heavens ven
geance.
Taught could relieve the sombre picture
which this perfidious and sxecrable city pre-
ssnts in its attitude towards the South, it
would be the absurd exaggeration Of its power,
the hideous grimaees and Falstathan boast
fuiness with which 1t tries to intimidate the
Southern people. Every reader must rernem-
Der the verbose and grandiioquent style in
which tho late expedition to Charleston was
described by the New York press, and any
one would have thought from those accounts
that Charleston was to be swallowed at a
mouthfui. They sent the most powerful fleet
ever collected In one squadron by the United
StAtss; they sent Nix thousand fighting men,
and every variety OF munitions and equip
msnp Of war And yet, Major AxDsKsoS was
made TO surrender, and the mighty fleet stood
of during the fight, and did not dare to land a
man. nor fire gun, nor raise finger for his
relief. When New York ntters great, swell

Calculating.

1t Is said that a Yankee soldier in the Rev
olu ton, one of the few who could ever be
brought to face British steel. when an English
man was advancing upon him with his bayo-
net, coolly surveyed his enemy, and exclaim-
ing, We'll, calculate my piece of iron is as
gAeA as yourn," met him like man, and in a
few moments practically demonstrated the
value of his calculation.
. In like manner the South can calculate
that if it has no regular army, the North is in
little better plight and the Southern militia,
TO say the least of it, is as good as any
other militia. That they are vastly supe-
rior to Northern militia, and that in the
present contest one Southern combatant
ought to be equal to at least two in
vaders, is demonstrable from the fact
that they are in their own country, and
fighting for their own homes, and that
they are accustomed from their childhood
to the use of arms, whilst the Northern
men are invaders, and not one of them in a
thousand ever saw a rifle in his life, The
Massachusetts troops, who were kicked
through Baltimore, are but fair specimens OF
the average character of the rufians bought
up to overrun the South. A Baltimore CORES
pendent describes these Yankee robbers as
"men without coats, shirts CIR shoes-soms
with one coat-tail of-others with 4 boot on
one foot and a shoe on the other. In word
60 to your Penitentiary, and among its con
victs you will find sample of the Fedora
