NOW AND TilEN-A LEAF OF HISTORY.
In the war of 1912, the North furnished 5S, 552
soldiers; the South 96lS2-making a majority of
S7,63O in favor of the South. Of the number fur
niShed by the North
Massachusetts furnished $40
New Hampshire S9I
Connecticut 3S7
Rhode Island 637
Vermont, Isl
Total 5,l6s
While little South Carolina furnished 1906!
In the Mexican war
Massachusetts furnished 1,O47
New Hampshire |
Other New England States 5000
Total 1,04S
The whole number of troops contributed by the
North to the Mexican war was 23,O54; while the
South contributed 43 $50 or very nearly double
Now, as the Northern States have twice the popua-
ton of the Southern the South furnished in the last
four times many soldiers as the North, in
proportion to the population.
But how stands the case now, when the South is
to be conquered and Subjusaied? GOdly New Eng
land too conscientious defend the national honor
in the war with Great Britain, pours out her whole
population 10 aid in the determination of a people
who have given to the nation all the military glory
that it has achieved
When resolution was introduced into her Legis-
laturc rendering avote Of thanks to the heroic Law
for his capture of the Peacock, pious MaSSa-
chusetts refused to adopt it, and declared
THAT in war like the present, waged without
jusilable Cause, and prosecuted in a manner iEdi-
eating that conquest and ambition its real mn
tires 1t is not becoming moral and religious peo-
pie to express any appreciation of military and naval
exploits not directly connected with the defence of
our sea coast and our soil"
Subsequently, the famous Hartford Convention
was called. Ii assembled in the city OF Hartford,
on the 18th Of December, 1914 and remained in ses-
sion 20 days 1t made report accompanied by
series of resolutions. The following is part Of the
report adopted:
"ln cases of deliberate, dangerous and palpable
infractions Of the Constitution affecting the sover-
eighty Of State and the liberties of the people, it
is not only the right but The duty of such State, to
interpose its authority for their protection in the
manner best eatculated to secure that end. When
emergencies occur which either beyond the reach
ofjudicial tribunals or too pressing to admit of the
delay incident to their forms, States which have no
common umpire must be their Otcn judges and ere
cute their OloR decisions"
This is the doctrine which the South has always
held from the beginning, and for which the South is
now pouring out her blood and treasure. 1t the
doctrine of New England when it served her purpose
as pretext for slipping out from under the burdens
which are incident to the war; and it will become
the doctrine of New England again, whenever it

Mr. EDITOR: You can see from the date of this,

by our chief Magistrate as a day of thanksgiving,
humiliation and prayer, to Almighty God, for the
vic tory " hich He gave in our late fight at Bulls

so serene. Nearly every body who is able, as
write are vending their way to the different church

that captivating appearance they are wont to do
on such occasions The different military compa-
MES attend their different churches, and old men
with gray hairs, who have never been known to at
tend church, now hobbling along to participate
in grand solemntv. One and all acknowledge
a God of battles-one who speaketh, and it is
done. We ought to be religious people in Will

we have st. James Church, St. Paul's Church,

ran, First Baptist and second Baptist Lutheran
Church, Catholic Church, Christ Church. Bishop
Atkinsons Church, and Rev. a. P. Repiton's
church making in all thirteen churches, in place
with population not exceeding fifteen thousand.
Some of them, by the by, are really handsome-St
Pauls and the first Presbyterian are fine specimens
of elegant churches, and will generally excel any,
for beauty, in the State. The Baptist Church, in
Raleigh, is a beautiful piece OF architecture.
Twenty-Five hundred soldiers arc expected to pass
through this evening en- route for Richmond. You
have no idea Of the number of men who are daily
pouring through for Virginia. | don't think | am

Lord John Russell was asked if he had any o

correspondence that took place between Lo
Lyons and the Secretary of State relative
the clearance of British vessels at the port
Charleston. The federal officers having be
superseded there, and the British Consul havi
been notified of the event by those represel
ing the South Carolina Convention, the ownt
and captains of British vessels are of cour
placed in position of considerable difficult
owing to the stringent penalties imposed by
laws of the United States on the non-observan

with Charleston and the other Southern DO
is too vast and important not to arouse 4!
anxiety of Parliament and the country at su
a critical time as the present, and we are I'll
to see its Importance appreciated in the prop
quarter.
Lord John Russell promptly expressed
willingness to lay the correspondence allud
to before the House, at he came time remal
ing that it was highly honorable to the Brit
Consul ct Charleston, who was placed in
very delicate position on account of his
being able to acknowledge the new goves

LOUIS NAPOLEON ON THE PAPAL QUESTION
The pamphlet of NJ. Laguerroniere, which has
been so anxiously looked for as an exposition
of the imperial views in reference to Rome,
has at length made its appearance. Taken in
conjunction with Victor Emanuel's address at
the assembling of the Italian Parliament, it
leads to the conclusion that for the present
there will be no disturbance of the public
peace in Europe. The pamphlet, although
protesting the highest respect and generation
for the head Of the Church, deals with his poll
cy in anything but measured terms. In mar
rative of the events of the last two years, IL
shows that had he listened to the counsels of
the Emperor, or even Of Austria, he might
have saved himself from the difficulties that
have since crowded upon him. He preferred,
however, following the advice of Cardinal An
tonelli and bis clique, and thus deprived those
who were friendly to him Of the opportunity of
aiding him. The writer does not suggest any
plan by which the aggravated embar-
rassments of the Pontiff are to be sur
mounted. The concluding sentence, how
ever, has q significance that cannot be
mistaken. "Italy," he says, "is liberated
but not constituted, and the hindrance to Its or
ganization Is Rome. As long as the fatal oppo-
sition lasts, Italy and the temporal Papacy will
not find the conditions of their equilibrium.
Let them unite, and out Of this alliance their
common greatness will arise" There are but
two ways IN which union can take place be-
tween the Papacy and Italy, and that is by
either voluntary or q forced abandonment by
the Church Of its temporalities. When, there
fore, the imperial pamphleteer uses this Ian
guage, we are justified In inferring that
one or other alternative Is about to be
held out TO the Pontif with the consent of
France, the inducementin the former case being
princely provision for himself and his sue
cessors
There are pressing reasons Why the Emperor
should be DESTROYS Of seeing compromise
promptly effected between the Pope and the
Turin Cabinet His own position in relation to
the French clergy is anything but a comfortable
one, and 1t may become more embarrassing
unless there is speedy settlement Of this ques-
ton. An accommodation between the civil and
ecclesiastical organizations Of the new Italian
kingdom, in defining the respective jurisdictions
Of each, would at once put an end in France to
the difficulties existing between the govern
ment and the clergy.

The News from shington-Evacuation
OF Fort Sumter Decided Upon.

Vne News rom MISREPRESENTATION
OF Fort Sumter Decided Upon.
According TO our dispatches received last
evening, it has been decided by the admins
tration to evacuate Fort Sumter. After an i'm
mense amount of labor, Mr.. Lincoln and his
advisers have mustered pluck enough to do
what should have been done long time ago.
1t appears, however, that after bringing them
selves up to this point Of action, much to the
relief Of the country, they have again begun to
exhibit weakness in the knees in the matter
Of receiving the Southern Commissioners.
Through Mr.. Seward and Senator Gwin it
had been arranged that Messrs Crawford and
Forsyth should have an interview with the
President yesterday; but in consequence Of the
decision which the administration found it ne
cessary to make In regard to Fort Sumter
looking to the interests Of the party rather than
to the common welfare of the great confederacy
over which they preside, and fearing the howl
that would ascend from the republican grog-
shops of the country at the startling change in
the anticipated policy Of the government-Mr.
Seward sent q note to the Commissioners,
stating that 1t would be impossible to carry
out bis programme, and that Mr.. Lincoln would
not receive them.
1t Is therefore expected that Messrs. Craw-
ford and Forsyth, in q formal communication
to the government, will state what they would
have undoubtedly stated In their interview
with the President We may, accordingly,
have to wait day or two for the result II
Is believed, of course, that their demands will
not be complied with They will thereupon
return South at once, and report to their own
government which is now completely orga-
nized, not only in military, but in political
point Of view, and then we shall see what
the Southern confederacy will do.
If, with the abandonment Of Fort Sumter by
the administration, Fort Pickens Is also evacu-
ated, the irritating obstacles in the way will be
removed, and the border States may enter
tain the hope Of suficiency Of time to ar
range some mode Of adjustment The want
of nerve, however, exhibited in agreeing
upon the withdrawal Of the forces from Fort
Sumter, and the treatment received by the
Southern Commissioners in being refused an
interview after one had already been agreed
upon, indicates q lack of strength In the ad-
ministration at the outset and Is calculated
to destroy any rising symptoms of confidence
that may have begun to be manifested.
