NORTH AND SoUTH,

a naughty spirit goetlf before fall The
present demouiac spirit and rage for con-
quest on the part Of the NORTH bodies them
no good. Itis widely different from the
calm and cool courage With wbich, The
South defends her liberties and her 6resides.
In the former, it is thes courage Of a mere
mass, relying upon its nuhbefsss ssnocess,
In the latter, each man is d hero and d
ready, individually, to peril ;alf ins the con:

force of mere military association. Ali he

I should much regret,ifz these remarks
we're construed as undertaking the necessity
of discipline and organization far beyond
that swhich VIZ now have. We cannot
whip the Yankees by an, empty burrat1.
We can; whip them with our young men
whenever they shall be properly dfiTsd,
equipped and Taught to act in concert. We
have sent to meet mass of vulgariaus. and
refuse of the North, set of gentlemen and
gallant men, Many of these must spill
their blood in tbspontest, but let us see to
it that their lives are not needlessly sacrif-
ced by.exposng them in an imperfect and
disorgaoised condition.
The North cannot stand protracted wahr:
SO well as the South. The North relies
upon Southern trade and manufactures for

War eripplss all that industry. The ques-.
