No man should open his ears to birds of evil

bring against the South two TO one; it can't
be DONE and If three to one could overcome

own homes, we would deserve to be overcome.
The South is invincible it cannot be subju.

try, they could not hold it. Instead of a seven
years war of the Revolution, we would make
II fourteen years, forty, four hundred, before
our native land should be subdued. Deliver
us from dyspepsia and liver complaint and
quarantine every body who suffers from these
dis heartening diseases, and the South can
take care Of all its other enemies. Let no man
believe or aid in spreading exaggerated reports
of the strensth of the enemy. We were much

Tho humane desire etihsed BY these foreign
0overnments that the separation Of the late
United States may be illuminated without
bloodshed, presents an Instructive contrast to

that the North demands warfare, which we are

Whether the great Powers of Europe will
feel iusti fed in interposiug aught but rernon-
strances against this unheard Of wfckedness,
we are of course unable to conjecture. But 1t
is certain that England must have cotton, and
that cotton not of the kind which can be cul-
tivated in India and Africa, but particular
description which is peculiar to the Southern
States of this Union. Five millions OF her
people are dependent upon its manufac-
ture, and her whole commerce Will be serious
ly aFsc ted by its loss. That cotton she must
haye-she will have it-mark the prediction
peaceably ifshe can, forcibly If she must. The
necessities of France for this staple are not so
great, but we rejoice TO believe that the
sympathies of her gallant and generous people
are with the gallant and generous South. We
know that LoUIs NAPOLEON is interes ted in
the development of Virginia commerce by the
James River and Kanawha Canal, and that
some Of the first men of the French Empire
have embarked in that undertaking. The
legations of Russia and Brazil, at Washing
ton, are we'll understood to be friendly to the
South. Before this war is over, we shall not
be surprised to see the active friendship Of
some of the first Powers of the civilized world
arrayed in behalf of the Southern Confede.

The Seventh Regiment.

We hope the reports are true which repre-
sent that the Seventh New York Regiment
has determined not to assist in invading Ma
ryland or Virginia. We hope SO, not because
we fear them, or look upon that or any other
invading regiment as equal to any Southern
regiment now in the field defending its own
fresides. But we trust it is true, because we
do not wish to think so meanly of human ma
ture as any other supposition would require
We trust so, because it grieves to the heart

indeed" in fidelity to the Constitution and
friendship to the South, it was Senator DICK

was Ted-hot advocate of the election of

in which, not contenting himself with SIM
pie declaration of his loyalty to the flag of the
old United States, he declared that the South
ought to be "wiped out of the face of the

In the war of the Revolution, the Yankees,
who were then good shots, gained great ad-

be matter of difficulty.

ana proclaimed her independence. We wei
come her noble people to the Confederacy Of
the South. The hunters Of Tennessee, whose
deadly IRE al the battle Of New Orleans made
such havoc among the enemy, will be once

ten thousand times more tyrannical and
odious. The war Of 1872 was fought by
Southern men for Yankee commerce; the war
Of the Revolution, itseif, was fought by the
South for the benefit Of the North. Never
did we suffer from Great Britain any wrongs

sist. And, for one, we would rather, to NOR
