Our Chances of Success,

Our Chances of Success.
1--WE are not of that class of men
who can urge and stimulate the
Young men Of the South, to plunge
head-long into this war, under the
false delusion, and groundless hope,
of whipping out the North, whose
troops are all towards, and a low
down, inexperienced tribe of soup
eaters, and street-loafers. That the
South will succeed in few opening
brushes, such as the taking of Fort
Sumter, and the capture Of Harper's
Ferry, as we'll as the mobocratic as
sault in Baltimore, we do not doubt,
for one moment. But that in the end,
the South is to fail, we have no more
doubt. than we have of our being
The recent census furnishes the proof
of this, to any calm, deliberate mind.
1t shows that the Free States. which
adhere to the Government, have a
population of males between eighteen
and forty fre, of THREE MILLIONS
SEVEN HUNDRED AND sEvENTY-EIGHT
THOUSAND and all the Slave States
have only ONE MILLION SIX HUN
DRIED AND FIFTY-FIvE THOUSAND !;
while the Seeding States. ex-
Guiding Virginia and Tennessee,
have but FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
ONE THOUSAND. To this vast differ
epce in men, let us add that of MONEY,
inventive skill, habits Of industry,
and the entire absence of any element
of domestic danger, and we shall hrd
the disparity infinitely greater. In a

JEFF: Davis to the Maryland Commissioners

FREDERICK, June 13.-The follow
ing is the letter of JEFF Davis to the
Maryland Commissioners
MONTGOMERY, G. S. A, May Is, 1861.
GENTLEMEN Il received, with sin.
cere pleasure, the assurance that the
State Of Maryland sympathies with
the people of these States in their
determined yindication of the right
of self government, and that the people
of Maryland are enlisted with their
whole hearts on the side of reconcilia-
ton and peace.
The people of these Confederate
States, Notwithstanding their separa-
ton from their late sister have not
ceased to feel a deep solicitude in her
welfare, and to hope that at no distant
day, State whose people, habits and
institutions are so closely related and
assimilated with theirs, will seek to
unite her fate and fortune with those
Of this Confederacy.
The Government of the confederate
States receives with respects the sug-
gestion of the State of Maryland, that
there should be a general cessation of
hostilities now impending, until the
meeting Of Congress in July next, in
order that said body may, if possible,
arrange for an adjustment of existing
troubles, 10y means of negotiation, rath.

how to reply without repetition of

In Difference to the State Of Mary
land, however it again asserts, in the
most empathetic terms that its sincere
and earnest desire is for peace that
while this Government would readily
entertain any proposition from the
Government of the United States ten
ding to peaceful solution of pending
difficulties, the recent attempts of this
Government to enter into negotiations
with the United States we're attended
with results which forbids any renewal
of proposals from if to that Govern
ment'
IF any further assurance of the de-
sire of this Government for peace were
necessary, it would be sufficient to OBJ
serve that being formed of a confeder
alton of soyerei5n States, each acting
and deciding for itself. the right of
every other sovereign state to the same
self action and self government is nee

Of other States are wholly inconsist-

cannot be but peace-peace with

The enemies of free institutions are
every where and always more active
than the friends of those institutions.
The one class is energetic and vigiIant
because conscious of the dangers that
environ it while the other is indiffer-
ent, because confident of the justice OF
its cause. Thus, the armed traitors,
who seek to overthrow the ediflce OF
freedom in the United States, are busy
and alert, as a result OF the apprehen-
sion that their lives are forfeit and
that they deserve no mercy at the
hands of the authority they have deli
ed. They have assumed new posi-
ton within the last week, and one
wi ich, unless promptly exposed and
Indignantly put down, will work more
mischief to the cause of hnman right
and constitutional liberty than all their
warlike demonstrations. They now
preach peace. JEFFERSON DAVIS,
according to the report made by the
Maryland commissioners appointed by
the Legislature of that State to visit
Montgomery, Ala, has sent a paper
to that body expressing his gratifca-
ton to hear that the State of Mary
land was enlisted on the side of peace
and reconciliation, and avowing his
perfect willingness for cessation of
hostilities, and readiness to receive
any propositions for peace from the
United States Government, but that
the action of that Power forhids any
such hope"

JEFF. Davis Message-A
Steamer Lost in a Gale

of the hostilities on the part of the United
States as barbarous wherever understood.
He sdds: ''If they convert their soldiers

as in a species of war which claims nom
CON batants, women aud children as its
Victims, they must expect TO BE- treated as
outlaws and enemies of mankind. There
are certain rights of humanity which are
entitled to respect, even in war, and he
who refuses TO regard them, forfsits his
claims, if captured to be considered q
prisoner of war, and must expect to be
dealt with as an outlaw against all laws
human and Divine. But not content With
violating our rights, under the law of
nations and home, they have extended
these injuries to Us within other jurisdic-
tons.

bly, impossible. Not only do the causes
which induced Us to separate, stil last in

and whatever doubt may have fingered in
the minds of any, must have been COM

instead of being a dissolution of league,

engaged, we might find ample vindication
for the course we have adopted, in the scenes
which are now being enacted in the United
