ImfaIIibie sign of Weakening.

A late number Of the New York Tribune
conta rs The following significant paragra pb ::
The simple question to be decided is: Are
northern men the equals Of southern? or, Are
they pOltroons who will run at the sight Of a
line Of advancing bayonets9 And one fair
battle will settle this concusivelV There is
no need OF long wsT-Bo chance for it, unless
policy and craft will so have 1t. Let fifty
thousand defenders OF the Union beat as many
rebels in fair battle, and the war will be sub.
stancisilV ended. There will remain skir-
mishes and smbuscades, and a few cowardly
shots at sentineis; bas assassination is not
war.
If, as we rejoice to hear, Gen. Scott is now
ready to try conclusions with JEFF Davis and
Beauregard, the war is near its end. We say
this in no boastful spirit-we concede the pos
sibility OF the rebels proving the strongest
party; but II they do let US frankly own it,
and promptly arrest the wanton etfusion Of
blood. And il they cannot keep the field
against rs, they will do likewise.
The following is another Of the same char
scter:
In short, we believe the patriot soldiers are
to-day able and eager to whip the rebels, and
We want to see them allowed to try. Il they
are not able to thrash the traitors in fair,
stsnd-up fight, our pride reyOlts at the idea OF
slowly starving them into sukisction, or whip
ping them by virtue Of money borrowed in
Europe. We say, challenge then to meet the
patriot volunteers in fair fight il they quail,
they are ruined; if they fight and are beaten,
they must give it up; while, il they beat us,
we ought to do the sane. Let US have this
matter decided forthwith, so that our brave
men may quit soldering and return to more
profitable vocations. Il does seem to us that
to let the rebels remain n force for months
within a days march Of Washington is the
next thing to acknowledging their indepea-
dence, and that we should either chase them
away or own that we are unable.

WHISKY IN THE CAMPs.-The following is
from the Martinsburgl correspondence Of the
New York World:
Gen. Williams made what the boys call a
monster tOddy yesterday, by knocking in the
beads Of two hundred and fifty barrels Of new
"old rye" alias corn whisky, at the still own

tederate forces, and pouring most Of it in the
helghboring brook. guard was at first put
over it to protect it, but the smell Of the wijig
ky was so strong that it Overpowered them,
and they slept on their posts. Then came the
thirsty ones, and their name was legion. and
drank Of the liquor with evil consequences to
themselves andths public. Hence the generals
great toddy making. A drunken soldier now

The first effect is he entire stoq5

the entire stoppsge Of the trade N Ell
instance, as m0E5 sthers, the entiEer
many OF the trtdsrs. The Southef
America are the great importing Sls
constant course Of trade is to create astbt
from all the weTld to the South, and to create
an opposite debt to the whole world from the
North. We need only look at the figures Of
tbe last board of trade report to be sure how
true the first part Of this is.
In the three months ending March 81, 1861,
Our Imports from the South have been e.

Oar exports to the South have been 9174,-
$685.
This year our Imports IRON the North have
also been lsrge in consequence OF our deficient
harvest and the natural anxiety Of the Ameri-
cans to send US all they could. Our exports to
the North have been Is e22 1873 Imports from
the North have been e, ,697, ,S6S in tbe same
period. But in most years, and as rule, the
South is the creditor OF tbe North and debtor of
England and OF the rest Of the world.
How, then, are the two "Tnseb' 'ednesses''
cancelled and how ere the books closed in
the most natural way possible By the North
selling 10 the South. and the South buving OF
the North. The South grows raw material,
which it cannot manufacture, which it cannot
enjoy, and which It cannot eat. It buyss of
the North al its Injuries, almost all it's cloth
lag, and a very considerable part Of its pro-
visions It obtains through the brokerage and
sgencY Of The North the goods Of the rest Of
the eaTtn. Such, 1t least, was the ordinary
course Of trade before the late disturbances.
As might be expected from two communities
50 closely related by birth and politics, and so
opposite in economical conditions aud indus
trial habits, their commercial intercourse was
one Of the NEST unimpsded, beneficial and i'm
pOrtsnt in the civilized world. A less happy
circumstance cemented the Union still more
closely. "The planters' Of the South, says
her msjAsty's secretary Of legation at Wash
iDgton truly, &c all acquainted with them will
allow, "liks the planters OF the West Indias in
the tines Of slavery, sTe very improvldent.
They live in vie of reckless eXtravsgauce,
and frequently spend the whole value Of their
crop before it has been brought to the market.
The Injuries they require are most easily pro-
cured in the North, whore the merchants give
them credit on the security OF a bin upon the
factors in the South vino viii sell their pro

knit still closer the commercial relations g
gssted by their political union, their industrial
dissimilaTity, and their geographical proxim-
ity.

THROWINa oFF TIE masK.

In The last 4th Of July Grafton, as it igcsIled,
BY the notorious Wendell Phillips, entirely
characteristic OF that bold leader Of the New
England Republican party, the following
emphatic sentence occurred, pregnant with
present meaning and glaringly suggestive Of
future intention;
believe we owe the absence OF compromise
to Cb2sies sumner in the senate, and the New
York Tribune in the country.
These discussions will soon be over. The
problem is being decided-sconer than we
think the end will come. The constitution is
rent. The people will be called one day not
long hereafter to reOrgsnize. We will then
fill with men the places Of the men Of 1887,
who planted the Dragons teeth, which South
Carolina and Masss scbusstts reap in bloodshsd
to-day Let Us do better work than they.
The cannon are pointed, and two hundred and
eighty thousand muskets, shO-ted bV thirty
years Of aDti-slsveTy agitation, are aimed at

We could not, if we should make the en-

language, than say with the New Haven

Wendell Phillips has ever been the pioneer
Of the abolition movement. Thus far The par
ty has steadily followed in his footsteps.
Sometimes he sees so far ahead Of the main
body that it is even questioned whether be

finds the path over which be has passed, and
rushes on without fsltering. The psrtV.st the

Arms Taken into New GrIeans--A
Smart Trick. II Tru=

The Cairo correspondent Of the New York
Herald, writing under da'e Of July Sd, says:

(Which was on Wednesday last,) a Bremen
vessel arrived there laden with war munitions.
The vessel was commanded By a man named
Grimsbaw, from Bristol, Rhode Island, was

ing OF forty thousand cavalry sabers, two
thousand kegs OF powder, and eight small sec

name OF the vessel my informant could not re-

Can it be possible that this story is true; that
our blockaters are so lax in the performance
OF their duties, or ignorant Of the rights of

easily broken? .My informant gave me bis

The New Line Of steamers between
France and America,

.
France and America,
The Paris correspondent of the Newark IN.
J. Daily Advertiser writes
The project Of establishing lines Of French
mail steamers to ply between HaVre and the
United States is at least on the point of being
realized. The question 81 accepting certain
propositions, submitted by the general mari
time company Of France, has received the IA
vorsble attention OF this government and the
sanction of the legislative body. Two lines are
aEthorZed-One direct to New York and the
ether TO the Antilles, touching at some southern
port Of the United States, not yet determ ned
upon, and left in abeyance until the close OF
the existing war According to the esti-
mates presented to the corps legislatif, the
amount OF capital to be invested in these two
lines by the general maritime company, is to
be fifty seven mi lions Of francs, or about Sill
400, COO; 1; Of whish sum 1S. 100000 francs are
TO be advanced by the Ffenc' government.
The whole enterprise is guaranteed by the in
dustrial association known as the Credit Mo-
biiisr, Of which the maritime company is
merely branch. The line to New York is to
consist Of five steamers, each provided with
engines Of 800 horse power; that to the An
titles, of six steamers, with engines Of 600
horse power. The rate Of speed to be main
tanned is, respectively, III and 101 knots per
hour. Another separate and distinct line to
New Orleans is to be established whenever
the events passing in America will permit
OF the undertaking; and the commission Of
the legislative body charged with the examin-
alton OF the subject stated in its report that It
would ultimately become eXpedient to include
the ports Of Norfolk and Savannah in the gem
eral proiect.''
