FROM THE SoUTH.-We subjoin few
extracts from the latest Southern jour
mails.
A correspondent of the New Orleans
Ptcayme, writing from Manassas on the
10th inst, says:
There is not a single act Of the Con-
federate States that could be SO construed
as to justify any reasonable man in com
ing to the conclusion that the South in
tended to take Washington. We have
never claimed more than is embraced in
the boundaries of the seeded States
That is the whole extent Of our claim.
Washington is situated in that part Of the
District of Columbia transferred by
Maryland and just as long as Mary land
remains with the North, just so long will
we refrain from any attack"
The same writer records bis impress
sions of Generals Johnston and Beaure-
gard, as follows;
q have had the pleasure of seeing
Gen. Johnston. He looks ike general.
He is about five feet eight or njre inches
in hight, good form, very erect, handsome
face, thick moustache, and beard some
what sprnkled with white. His hair is
slightly gray. His organs of benevoence
and veneration are extremely large, and
his eyes very full and large. He should
talk well and speak huently. He has
the decided advantage over Gen. Beau
regard as far as appearance goes. or the
two at first sight, would prefer General
Johnston. The differences between the
two are, l imagine, these: Beauregard
is strictly military man, and looks chiefly
at military results. Beauregard has most
cautiousness, and ] think most determin-
alton: that is. Beauregard would never
give up, but would fight even against
hope. Johnston, on the contrary, with
his large beneyolence, would look beyond
mere resistance, and would not sacrifice
life where there was no hope in fighting.
Politically the other consideration would
govern him. But Bcauregard would
fight on and forever. Johnston having
less cautiousness, l think would make the
most daring moves and the most rash
charges, and we all know that in even
in apparent rashness is the extreme of
prudence. Beauregard would probably
be the safest commander in defense.
Johnston would create the greatest en-
thusiasm, and in desperate charge would
succeed best

"Burleigb," the correspondent of the
Boston Journal, writes as follows;
cit is the current rumor about town
that both the Daily NetcS and the Dag
Book are to be seized and the printing Of
both of the papers ended. If this is not
done by the authorities, there is much
danger that the hand of unlawful violence
will be laid on the presses, and perhaps
on those conducting them. The printing
of a circular sent out from these offices,
the circulation of them in the South and
border States, the avowed fact that the
Ne,cs is sent out gratuitously and paid
for out of fund.- all has created feel
ing that lis an organ of the Confederate
States in our midst, and as such gives
great offense. 1t is to be hoped that no
violence will be used in any way among
US.
Our merchants feel blue, talk blue and
act blue. The war has paralyzed all
things. Merchants seem to see ruin on
al sides. Those who live on rents are

shorn OF their income for houses ana
stores cannot be rented, or if so are at
ruinously low rent, or if higher no rent
can be collected. And when men take
lot of ground and agree to pay ground
rent from $4,000 to $4,000 per year,
put on the land an elegant stone or
marble store, and when all Is com
plete cannot rent any part of the build
ing, the pressure is hard. Now most Of
the houses and stores on Broadway are
on leased land The rent must be paid
or the building is forfeited. Much OF the
property of Astor on Broadway consists
of land that he holds on long lease, and
for which he pays often only nominal
rent. Others are held at a high rent
Many of the stores built one year ago are
not leased, and the builders have to pay
their ground rent punctually. l was told
by gentleman who put up an elegant
marble store last autumn, and intended
to have it ready for the May renting, and
which in ordinary times would have
readily leased for the sum OF $4,000,
that is has been empty all the season,
while he has to pay the sum OF 10000
ground rent and the whole concern will
be a dead loss to him. And this is but q
specimen. And the dwellings have al
come down some houses | have seer
that last year rented for $500 and $1,000
are gladly rented for $500 and 5000
And many leases have been thrown up
and surrendered from sheer inability tC
keep them. Factories are closed, work
men discharged, merchants reducing theii
force and the pay of the men in their EN-
pIoy-mechanics are idle and money i:
scarce.
But bad as this state of things is, il
the world it is more powerful on religion
institutions and societies.
Many churches in New York will b.

most powerful and wealthy that reall,

~ Senator Sewa

~ Senator Seward presented the
petition Of the merchants Of New York,
favoring compromise, on the 3lst ult,
and at the same time made short speech,
of which the N. Y. World says:
"Scnator Seward neither despairs Of
the republic, nor expects to see tranquil
ity restored within its borders in short
time, and by summary measures. In
presenting the petition from the New
York merchants yesterday, be said that
he had not been so rash as to expect that
the difficulty would be settled in sixty
days. or even in ninety days--the al
lotted term of Congress" though he
thought Re knew that that period was
the one fixed, with defnate objects and
purposes" by the secessionists. But, as
Mr.. Seward does not expect that reason
and Judgment will return so quickly, and
resume sway in ninety days. or that, in
that time, !" the passion and frenzy of the
"hour will overturn this great fabric of
constitutional liberty and empire" so
he feels that, after that time has expired,
there will be opportunity for 1.-THE res
"toration of all that had been lost, and
"the r. establishment of all that VAS in
"danger." This speech, coming from !
man of Mr.. Stewards sasacity and posi-
ton ia his party, is worthy Of very atten.
