OF THE WAR.-Now that the booming of the

unto death for fidelity to our flag are borne
to US on almost every breeze, it is narrowing
to the soul to be dragged into companionship
with those who still vacillate, who are still
balancing chances and coldly calculating
losses and gains who still persist in treating
this agonizing struggle for national existence
as a petty question of commerce, and delib-
erately take out their scales and weigh in our
presence the beggarly jewels of trade against
the life of our country.-Joseph holt.

The brave soldiers of the Orleans Guard will, no
doubt, feel especially proud of marching with q
flagstaff captured by their comrade-for, it may
not be generally known, Gen. Beauregard had his
name enrolled as q member of the Orleans Guard
when it was first formed, and before he went to
Fort Sumter, and his name still appears as a pri-
waite on the roll of the company. The following is
the correspondence on the subject:

I also inclose Gen. Beauregard's letter, con-
signed to my care for you, and remain,

the recognition of our independence by European

until they want cotton, when they can secure, by
commercial treaties the immense advantages Of
