the service of the Confederate States, may De =
yery gcoa astronomer, and philosopher, anu nasi'

POLITICAL auesticns are such as will hardly meet

sneet ii least. We have been much interested

anu autde, Commodore Mapry does not distinctly
J 5such thing himself, but he does not oppose
and he enters into a discussion Of the advan-
(tages which would result to Pennsylvania from, be-
ing admitted into our Confederaey, and says be
has no doubt she viii soon be knocking 1T our
doors for admission. Such q discussion would be
proper Il the question were unsettled as to the adj
mission of Northern States into our Gonfederacy,
and this paper Of Commodore Maury is calculated
to create the impression that that question is IN
settled. This Is the mischief which the Commo-
dore's letter will produce. $50 far from this being
the case, we think We speak the sentiments of
ninety nine men out Of every hundr in the South
ern States when say that the question is settled
finally and definitely, and that the admission Of
Northern State into our Gonfederacy, after peace
Is declared would be almost cause enough for an
other reFoiufien. sIhen what Is the use OF Com

This Is a very clear proposition, and I'VE suppose
nobody Will dispute it question arises; though,
Why should Commodore Maury be talking about
nakiug Phaiadeiphia the great commercial empo-
rum OF America and PENNEY lvanias getting rich by
for fifteen millions of Southern pee-
pie HOW would lido, for instance, for the South
% make great commercial einp0rtanls OF New Or
leans, Mobile, Savannah, Cher and Norfolk
las ia THAT idea ever occurred to Commodore Man
~! u the trade and resources Of the South are
sufficient to- build up great commercial empo-
rum az undouhtedly they are, why not make itof
Southern city instead Of going of to build up q
city which has been among the most active in
waging this brutal war upon Us ~ ..2z
OF course, Pennsy lvania would BE benefited By
uniting with u.s. OF course, philadelphia would
be benefited. But would it not be as well to have
less regard Tor the of Pennsy and
some little more for oura OWE hy should Com
modore Manry pass over ms own section 20 hunt
