STRATEGICAL PoLICY OF THE SOUTHERN Con-
fEDERAcy. The New York Journal of Com
merce has an editorial upon this subject, in
which occurs the following
Without stopping to ing uire further in TO the
nature OF the extraordinary rumors in circu- :
lation for some time past, IN reference 10 a
threatened invasion OF the Dis tTict OF Coium-
bia il is at least safe to suggest as possible
truth, that it has been the persist tent policy OF
the Confederate States, since the first alarm
OF war, to tempt the North in to an enormous
scale of expenditure for military purposes,
and thus to produce a more speedy exhaus-
ton. 1t would appear ss though no means
had been neglec ted-no artiflce unemploy ed
which might tend TO this result. The ar
nounced in tention of the Confederacy to grant
letters of marque, for aught that appears 10
the contrary, is not likely to be carried into
execution; embargoes laid upon commerce at
Southern ports have been raised; and North
ern vessels seized have been released, In many
instances, by direction of the authorities at
Montgomery. Nevertheless, these varied
acts of hostility may have answered "a
purpose by precipitating events IN the
North, and Fastening the final issue.
Meanwhile, the Southern States seem to be
outstanding their resources i'll every possible
way. Individuals serve i'll tae ranks las com
mon soldiers. gratuitously. Not unfrequent-
ly, as the news spapers state, Whole companies
are put on Il war footing, with no other ex-
penss TO the General Government than the
providing of muskets and railways do the
necessary transportation without indemnity
Reviewing the event of the last few weeks,
it may well be doubted whether there has
ever been any settled purpose To invade the
National Capirl. Jefferson Davis eyiden tly
prefers to act on the defensive, rather than
employ aggressive measures But even il we
accept this q solution of certain rumors
and proceedings otherwise difficult OF expla-
nation, 1t cannot be said that the extensive
preparations for the defence OF Washington
are Ill adv Used. Without them, the political
attitude OF two or three Of the Border States
might nave given much more reason for con-
.erh rh aho besides, the concentration of q large
w iorce al some convenient point is absolutely
necessary.

A letter from Annapolis, April 2sth, sa

The New YORK SEVENTH REGIMExr.-Much
prominence has been given TO the report that
disaffection existed in the New York Seventh
Regiment, but those who We're disposed In con :
seq uence to revive an old feeling of attach
ment may now be undeceyed. A member OF
the regiment publishes the following conclu.
sive statement in Washington paper:
1t is false that they were called upon to
take the oath for three months for il was
stpula ted that they were TO be mustered In
for thirty days only-though ready TO serve
for year, or more, in the event of war.
False that any disafection exists in the re-
giment.
False that when they did take the oath Fl ve
hundred refused TO take it. Not man with.
held his willing pledge.
False that any ten, twenty, or fifty men Of
the regiment, or any one man, said they or he
would not bear arms against Virginia Oh
Maryland. They all took the oath to sustain
the Government against all its foes.
And of course false that the Government
yielded TO a request or condition that never
was made or asked.

Playing Wdtchmea.--The Mayor, with a
fatherly eye 10 the good order and welfare OF
Richmond, not long since engaged the services
OF a sufficlency of persons to ensure peace
under any contingency. They have been act
ing Jndiciously, and have thus far met the re-
quirements of the occasion that called them
into being. On Sunday night Burwell r.
Beasley became inflated with some essence
stronger than water, and straightway imagin-
ed himself a guardian OF the night. Attempt
ing TO exercise the functions of his supposed
extent OF his powers by being conveyed to the
guard house. Thence he was brought before
the Mayor yesterday morning. who admon-
ished and discharged him. There are too
many real watchmen nowadays for any green
hand to attempt playing extra" with sue.
