II We cannot gain victories we can make
hopeful prophecies aud comfort ourselves
with the hope that the rebellion will die,
some time, Of its own inherent wcakness.-
The following paragraphs from the Phils-
delphia Press are "good reading" and there
is enough truth in them to make the salts
faction they give Legitimate;
Tho quarrel between Wise and Floyd is
not the only smoke that conceals the boil
ing and tempestuous volcano now working
in tho heart of the Southern Confederacy.
You will soon see many more signs of disa-
greements and divisions. There are already
two great parties in the Seeded States
one composed Of violent and proscriptive
men, like Davis of Mississippi, Mason, Wise
and Pryor of Virginia, Cobb of Georgia,
Slidell Of Louisiana, Reagan and McCulloch
of Texas, and Zollicoffer Of Tennessee-and
the other Of politicians like Governor Brown
of Georgia, Summers of Virginia, Magoffin
and Powell Of Kentucky, George w. Jones
of Tennessee, Sabastain of Arkansas, Soule
and Bouligny Of Louisiana, who are Sup
posed to be in favor Of a peaceful adjust
ment, and are free in the expression of their
opinion that the war ought never TO have
taken place. Only few weeks ago the
Richmond Examiner denounced Vice Presi-
dent Alexander H. Stevens as the "petted
idol and hope Of every corrupt spoiler and
iobber in the South" Davis does not con-
ceal his contempt for the camp.followers
who were forced to run from the free States
to Richmond, and are now there, either
starving or poor or utterly dependent upon
such contracts as they may be able TO extort
from him. Although there is really no
money in tho treasury of the traitors-their
whole currency being deprecated paper
these wretched emissares, having no other
resort, beg and plead for employment Of
some kind.
The poetry Of the revolution is passing
away. The rich planters SO willing to con-
tribute to the rebel leaders arc beginning
to appreciate the folly of the whole expert.
ment, and the politicians who shouted so
loudly after Manassas look gloomy upon the
comming winter, and wait in fear for intel
lgence from the Gulf and the mouth of the
Mississippi. 1t is said that Governor Aiken
of South Carolina, whose fortune has been
set down at a fabulous figure, denounces the
heads of the army and the managers Of
the Provisional Government with much Sc
verify, and such men rs Governor Manning
of South Carolina, Duncan of Alabama, the
rich creoles of New Orleans, and the rice,
cotton, and sugar kings groan with bitter
agony under the burdens heapcd upon them.
l saw southern man yesterday, who pre-
diets if Mcclellan defeats Beauregard, the
whole traitors conspiracy will fall like card
castle, and that thousands now held, as it
were, in chains and forced to sing hosannas
to men and to measures they despise, will
break into loud and irresistible complaints.
Nothing is more confrmatory of these gen
eral views than the tone of such of the Sc
cession papers AS l have been enabled to
glance over Although filed with brutal
articles against the "Liucoln army" and
"the Yankees it is common thing to see
in the columns of the Charleston Mercury,
tho New Orleans Picayune and the Mont
gomery Advertiser, the most malignant
sneers at the want of tact, system and in
tegrity in the self-constituted administration
of the confederacy.
