Consequences Of tie Wuy.-An
able editorial in the Baltimore Ex-
change Of Monday last, on the res.
pective abilities of the two sections
to carry on the war successfully, con-
|cludes as follows:
Whichever way we regard it, the
consequence is the same-partially
injurious to the South but disas
trous to the North. The South loses
little, it spends comparably little, and
is piling its wealth up. The North
loses every thing, spends enormous
ly, and stores scarcely any thing.
Every day adds, intact to the strength
Of the South, and diminishes that of
the North, The war tells alike on
the Western farmer, the Eastern man.
utacturer, and the New York banker.
The effect upon the former, however,
is only temporary !; upon the two lat
ter it must be more permanent. The
eventual result Of the war will sure
ly be to unite the slave States in one
grand Republic, and the North will
find that its suicidal policy has only
served to establish a nation, which
possesses not only vast resources, in
the growth Of staples peculiar to it.
self, but which has, in addition, eve
ry element of wealth possessed by the
free States. The North will, at the
same time, discover that it has sep
arated itself from a country, upon
the productions of which it was actu,
ally dependent for the prosperity of
it's largest interests, and for the means
Of affording employment to its ope-
ratives and occupations to its mari
|ners.
So long as Maryland remains with
the North, she must share the fate of
the North.-Bee.

Reveries of q Bachelor.

BY J. F. e.
A bachelor, oh! what q horrible
name,
In happy community mated for
life,
Tis sickening to hear it-so then
must haste,
If ever expect for to get me a
wife
Married folks generally take it so
cool,
They must think that bachelor
must be a fool
Or some other queer genius-as at
him they gaze.
For to live such a horrid life all of
his days.
With emusic" Of this sort still
greeting my ears.
To a single life always I have many
fears.
While others contented through
life's weary strife,
For to comfort and cheer them
"have sweet little wife"
Bless my stars! what a thought,
for it chills me with fear,
AS my earthly pilgrimage seems to
draw near.
With no one to cheer me the rest
Of my life,
Or to call by such name as "my
sweet little wife,
Some say that the ladies' must wait
till proposed,
BY the bashful young men-I have
always supposed:
Well, if this is the case, and cour-
age will do.
You may count me cone" now, but
Ill soon make it "two."
For over my hashfulness soon I
must get,
Or III still bear the name of Man
for to Let
And to rid myself quickly Of such
Course r.
I'll marry for love and then work
for the purse.
If I marry for love, for so it is said,
There is not SO much danger to get
an old maid,
But if, on the contrary, / marry for
gold,
I'll find out e'er long, I've been
gloriously sold.
And now dear friend reader, if you
should know,
OF some charming young "16"
who longs for a beau,
Just refer her to me, aud I'll give
you my hand,
There will sson be bachelor less
in the land.
lis true, I've been born in a cot
DER the sea,
But now that old cot has no charm
for me,
But land that is dearer encircles
me bout,
My land Of adoption, my own be-
loved South.
Let me say in conclusion to one
and all,
That the life of bachelor is no
life at all;
And I've made up my mind for to
quit such life,
And like all honest people, to take
me wife.
