items.
The Houston Telegraph has a letter dated the 9th,

Our troops are now holding them at bay, and have

tich Of Usher products We, therefore, Laugh to
scoru the attempt OF the saemy 10 starve us into
suhjeetion. The capacity TO supply itself with food
is ore Of the most essential elements in the ability
Of a nation to su6tain protracred war. This we
repeat in the eeih o. all the essiis and csxrinss
Of the lying Northern press to The contrary, the
South possesses within herself
in arms, large o. small. the South 81 ta;s nc
ment, is better { than the North.
10 men, who know how 10 hands them she is
incoDpsrsbiy superior. While southern men have
been bred from infancy to the use of the TiGe tho
men who now compose Tho Northern army, in gen.
eIsl, have neTer handed gun.
IL military genl7s and science. the South siso
outstrips her enemy. The very aower OF the navy

an5 Beauregard. Scott ana Wool are supersnualcd
dotards, utterly incompetent to the task Of subju
eating fourteen States, by military force However
skilled Ia the mere details Of the military art,
aeiiher OF them, In his best days, nsd The gen
ius for military enterprise Of such magnitude and
difficulty.
Eeen IN tie number of her troops, ths South IS
end'wi continue to be equal 10 the Ncrih Fighting
on her Own soi and IN defense of her own homes and
resides, she can 81 least raise as many soldiers tho
eggreesiVe North, whose etzens only prcmpted
to volun' ser in this iniqutons by revenge and
mercenary interest," Rather than suffer defeat almost
the entire male population Of the South from twelve
years Vi~ " eiSuy, VIII take up arns IL ID e as
sumption unwsrrsnted by the history Of tbe world
that the military strength of nation necessarily
in the ratio Of her population This depends ca
many other circumstances. History is full of glo-
rious examples Of nations, comparatively weak in
point Of mere population, triumphing over the
mightiest odds against them.
Finally We assume, with perfect confidence, that
the tro ps Of the South superior to those of the
Nor in martial spirit, in courage, in personal
pride and sef-sacrifciDg heroism. These after all
are the qualities which render an army inyincibe
and viii h must be taken into account in forming
correct estimate Of the military strength of peo-
pie The slightest knowledge of military history
| will teach us this.
Without INDUCING, therefore. in spirit of vain
glori6cstion, which on an occasion SO serious and
momentOus as the present, we're both unwise and I'M
becoming, we conclude that the South, fighting IS
she is in just and righteous cause, is full match
for the North in this contest for her own indepen
dence and existence.

Elements of Southern Strength.

The elements of strength possessed by the South,
and which will contribute to her defense in the
of subjugstion urged against her, are not yet
fully appreciated, even by the Southern people
themselves, much less by their enemies. These
will be more clearly exhibited in the progress of
this war They ere real and gible. and need not
be exaggerated to show that the South is impregns
bic against any force which the North can muster
for her subjpgstion. A glsce at come OF the most
obvious CT them will make this apparent.
GA glance at the map will show that the area Of
the .uthern States ia too vast to be occupied and
farcibly held by any number OF rOops which the
North raise. well discinlined army Of 900
soldiers might conquer ard aold in Subsection the
million of people crowded within the city of New
York and its suburbs but scatter the same people
over the area Of the State of New York. and FIVE
times that number of troops could not maintain

aud hated by than.
The geographical features ofthe South, also, pre-
sent indispensable obstacles 10 the way Of her suhju-
CATION. Her vast chains of maintains, embracing
the grester portion of the Appalachian range,
ming through eight Of her States, her ghty rivers,
her miasmstic swsmps and wide-spresding prari-

Il is only necessary to slluds to the peculiar
agricultural productions of the South which in the
markets of the world are equal to gold. and will

think that the loan bill, authorizing 100000 900
to be raised by bonds or Treasury notes. will pro-
baby be passed to-day. No direct tax will be laid
at this session. for want of the necessary informa
ton regarding the value of property in the different
States; but there will be pledge to pass such
bill as soon as such information can be obtained.
This pledge cannot, however, be redeemable under
three or four months, by which time the necessary
information will be obtained.
Strong efforts will be made to modify and lessen
the rates of the present tariff, which will probably
succeed.

tory tariff will be passed by Congress tomorrow.
