What the Editor of the LOuis-
willie Democrat Thinks.
The Louisville Democrat of Sunday, S,

The Louisville Democrat of Sunday, says /:
We DO not believe there is to be much
fighting. The Federal armies, so much
more powe, full in men and resources, can
seizs point after point, and gradually enclose
the whole Southern States in military lines.
It is useless to attempt to keep up the idea
that the Federal navy cannot blockade the
Southern seacoast. We have thought it
impracticable, but the swiftness of action on
the part of the government in securing YES
sells and the very small number of actual
ports notwithstanding the immense extent
of the coast, have convinced us that we
were mistaken. Then the land ports, and
ports on the Mississippi, are all in the easy
command of the government. They will
be under no actual necessity for bloody
invasion. The South can no more be over
come by invasion than Russia by the seiz-
ure of Moscow, but when the ports of entry
are all seized, her chief cities occupied, her
commerce totally killed, we may expect that
though government may continue to claim
allegiance for time, it will eventually fall
to pieces 70, the best Of reasons: it has fail
ed to carry out the design for which it was
adopted. The United States officers, not
suddenly, but by degrees, will begin to as
sumo their functions here and there in the
South, and the States to act in harmony
in such manner that no one will be able to
tell exactly when the Union was entirely
reconstructed.
