The Country to bo Conquered.

The Confederate States have n nonuIo-
tlon exceeding nine millions-of which
nearly SIX millions are whites This is
nearly double the population of England
under King William Ill and Queen Anne.
when she successfully waged war against
the most powerful nations OF Europe. IL
Is but little below the population Of Eng
land during her gigantic struggles with the
hrst and great Napoleon. The Confede-
rate States without Kentucky. Missouri
and Maryland, which will come when
ready) cover an area equal to the cohtin-
ent OF Europe-possess an inexhaustible
supply OF minerals, and climate aud soil
adapted to the production of whatever
mans natural or artificial condition re-
quires.
! This vast region, inhabited by people
who are bred from childhood to horseman-
ship and the use of arms, and who know
what liberty is and love and adore its
portloned out for subiugaton by the dis
gushing Yankee race, who don't know how
TO load gun, and look contemplate on
horseback. That they may be drilled into
respectable military machines by the Vir-
g'nlaa, who commands them, is likely
enough but without dsjointing the
eternal fitness Of things, and dislocating
the order Of nature, that they should be-
come capable of empire, is simply absurd.
Grant that mere brute force should en-
able them TO overrun the land, like q
cloud OF Eastern loousts their reign
would pass with themselves. They possess
not one quality that fits them for COM
mand. Since their beginning as a nation,
and out OF all their seething population,
they have never yet produced a general
or Statesman. That is an effort beyond
their ability. But for organizing hotels,
working machinery, and other base me-
ehanical contrivances, they are without
equals in the world And the very law of
Nature which invests them with excel
lence in those inferior departments of
humanity, condemns them to inferiority
IN those Of nobler and more exalted
strain.
In setting up for conquerors and gentle
men, they have mistaken the bent Of
their genius. They must fall, for they are
striving against the very ordinances of
Nature. Every slave, however stupid,
knows the difference between black
guard and q gentleman; and while proud

! dependent states TO Their seryitude by
telling them that Athens was the glory of
the world, and all who shared her des-
les partook of her glory. But there is
nothing in the Yankee character which
does not excite disgust and loathing in
every manly bosom. The very fact of being
ruled over by such a race, would inspire
such intensity of shame as to render life
intolerable. The permanent establish
ment Of their dominion is only possible
by the extinction of every generous emo
ton of the human heart.-Richmond

which we extract the following:
CAMP RHODES, June 20, 1861.
Dear Sister We are now in camp
about twenty-five miles from Washington
city. Our Regiment is honored with the
extreme outpost. Our camp being at a
bridge on the great turnpike leading from
Washington to Manassas, we have TO sleep
with one eye open, to be ready at q mo-
ments's notice. large body Of Lincoln's
men are encamped within ten miles Of us.
Lincoln's spies and scouts are captured
daily by our different Regiments. can
only conjecture what the chances for a
big fight are, but we have an immense
army mathis section. reckon about 50,-
900 within ten miles sqnare. Gen. Beau
regards quarters are only about ten miles
from our camp.
Nv idea Of the issue is this. Lincoln's
Congress meets on the 4th Of July, and if
they sustain his invasion policy a great
battle will be fought in this vicinity. The
preparations on our side for defense are
on large SCALE and we can repulse an
army OF Hessians twenty times our ac-
tual force. think that the fighting be-
lore that time will be skirmshes scouts
from the dj8..~nt camps meet daily.
- ...-.- yesterday considerable force
was sent down from Alexandra by Lin
coin to rePe'r the bridges and railroad
which had beef demolished and torn up
by our SIDE. When they got within eight
miles Of Mana-sss a scoeiine party sent
out by Gen. Beauregard afL.slSed them
and succeeded in routing them. VI got
several, but they managed to get the.
engine in motion and escaped with the
larger portion Of their men. In fact we
get the advantage everywhere the scouts
meet.
JusE2l.-I missed the mail yesterday
and open this letter to add an important
P.s. We have just received orders 70
march in the morning for Fairfax Court
house-l5 miles from Washington City
and 10 from Alexandra. The enemy
have about 5000 men within FIVE miles of
that point. We will have about 5000.
We have to leave all baggage except what
we are able TO carry. All extra baggage
will be sent back to Richmond.

A Coon NAMz.--4he name of Jackson
seems TO be gaining an snviable distinc-
ton in the present war. First, James w.
jackson, Of Alexandria, Va, slew Col.
Ellsworth for interfering with flag, pri-
vate property, when he knew his own
death would follow. Second, Gov. jack
son, Of Missouri, has taken bold, patri-
otic stand for the South against heavy
odds. Third, Mrs. jackson, Of Tazewen,
drove Andy johnson, the traitor, from
her hotel, assuring him that money could
not purchase her provisions for such an
migrate. Hurrah for the Jacksons !-Fa-
yettewRe Observer.

ARREST OF TRAIroRs.-Pierce Butler was
arrested in Philadelphia, last week, on a
charge of aiding the traitors. This indicates
a purpose to treat Rebel as Rebel, whether
found North or South. While the Govern
ment is thus engaged, 1t might as we'll look to
the case of Senator Bright, of Indiana. A
man named 7. B. Lincoln was recently arrest
ed in Cincinnati, on the charge of treason, as
being Confederate spy. Among other let
ters found on him was the following
WAsHIsaroN, March 1, 1861.
"TO HIS Ertellency, Jeff. Davis, President
Southern Confederacy:
"Dear Sir-Tbis will introduce to you my
very particular friend, T. B. Lincoln, who
visits Richmond for the purpose of exhibiting
to you an improved fire arm, which he wishes
to introduce. He is gentleman of high re-
spectabilty and on whom you can rely.
Yours, respectfully, JESSE D. BRIGHr.''
Here is Senator of the United States, and
a Breckinridge Democrat, giving open aid and
comfort to the enemy. Will the Government
investigate this case, or is he to be suffered to
run at large?

A MODEL SULTAN.--A letter from Constan-

"The new Sultan appears determined to never
have but one wife. A few days since the
Yalide Sultana, agreeably to old tradition,
purchased young slave, the most beautiful
that could be found in the capital. She dressed
her out in jewels and the richest clothing, and
offered her to her son. s'Who is that woman ~
demanded Abdul Aziz. ssThe slave whom,
according to custom, 1 offer you on your
accession to the throne,'' was the reply. ssI
have nothing to say to her," replied the Sui
tan shave l not a wife whom love Let
me hear of no more such customs and such
presents.a This fact have from such source
that can guarantee the correctness of it,
