The Knnyea plumlng Themselves on
H,h.,, E,,.t A Advantage.

[From the Richmond Whig, July ~
We are too close an too much l'ul"e"0VN
by the great events which are passing 10 III
dulge much in philosophizing. But the rout
and dispersion, at the great pitched oa'tie heaV
Manassas bring into bold relief the great
fact that the Yankees are humbugs, and that
the ,chite people of the slayehoIdlng states are
the true masters real rulers OF this CONT
nent. Under every disadvantage ON onf side'
the SEPARATIONS for that combat were haue'
The northern states had seized upon all the
common property OF the partnership, they
monopoli2ed the whole navy anu army anu an
the material with the entire machinery Oh
government in full operation; ana ooaS'eu
that they had an in, xhaustlble supply OF lheh
and money TO wage an luterlnihaoie war
For months, with all these advantages, tiley
have been diligently engaged in organizing
their forces.
Under the direction of the most vaunled
military character OF the age-not Oi tlelr ere
alton, though-iOr they have never productu
genius capable OF anything beyond arrang-
ing hotel, or working steam engine, or I'll
recting some base mechanical contrlNance-
they expended millions OF money and drilled
VI OUObOOOy hbN NN'itBN
style unheard of i'll The annals OF war hey
met the rude and poorly equipped rol1mteerS OF
the southern states, drawn from their peaceful
vocaions ior the first time, to the theater OF
war; and they are routed and slain by the
thousand, and driven like chatf before high
wind. Though guided by the highest miiita
ry talent-of Virginia, shortsrass growth
they have nothing to rely upon but their num-
bers and that, in the flight, proves an element
OF weakness.
The fact is the Yankees are very little bet
ter than Chinese They lay the same stress
on the jingle of their dollars that the CelestlalS
do on the noise OF their gongs. Originally
endowed with no single amiabe trait, they
have cultivated the arts of money getting aud
cheating, until gam has become their god, and
they imagine it to be omniputent. With mon
ey in their pockets, won from generous and
chlvalrous race, and multitudnouS as Norway
rates, they are swollen with conceit, and fam
ced that they were fit for empire. And yet
they do not possess one gentlemanly attribute,
nor single talent that qualified them for war.
OF the very first elements they are destitute.
They don't even know how to ride horse
talent only to be acquired in youth and gen
tie avocations. And as TO arms, ninety nine
out of hundred never shot a gun, and we
have it on very good authority that old Scott
lost all patience in attempting to teach them
how to load gun. The vile old wretch He
reaps q just reward for his treason and his tai
ents misapplied.
The break down OF the Yankees, their utter
nnfitness for empire, forces dominion upon us
of the south. We are compelled TO take the
scepter, and it is our duty to prepare ourselves
to WELD it with dignity and effect. We must
adapt ourselves to our destinies. We must
elevate our race, every man OF it-breed them
up to arms, to command-tO empire. The
art military should constitute leading part o.
every white mans education. The right oil
voting should be high privilege to be enjoyed
by those only who are worthy to exercise it
In word, the whole white population of the
south should be brought into a hightonet
aristocracy, duly impressed with sense of it
superiority to Yankee trickery; and of ii,
own functions, and its obligations to freedom
| and civilization.
