to carry on the war successfully, -con-
cludes as follows:

trous to the North. The. South loses
little, itspends eomparably little. and
is piling its wealth up. The North
loses every thing, spends enormous

Every day adds, i'll fact to the strength
Of the South, and diminishes that of
the North. The war tells alike on
the Western farmer, the Eastern man

The effect upon the folaaei., however,
is only temporary upon the two hat
ter it must be more permanent. The
eventual result of the war will sure

grand Republic, and the North will
find that its suicidal policy has only
served to establish q nation, which
possesses not only vast resources. in
the growth of staples peculiar to it
self, but which has, in addition, owe
ry element Of wealth possessed by the
free States. The North will, at tho
same time, discover that it has sep
:.rated itself from a country, upon
the productions of which it was ac,u-
ally dependent for the prosperity of
It's largest interests, and for the means
Of affording employment to its epe-
ratives and occupations to it's mari-

In yesterdays paper we alluded to
the launching of the boat bull, oppo-
site New Orleans, for the purpose OF
attacking the encmv's inan-of- war;
The boat is the icngth of an ordinary
steamboat, the roof being arched in
shape, covered with railroad iron. so
as to prevent balls from penetrating,
and the balls in striking will imlne-
diately Glance off WITHOUT having any
effect, let tn" position of the gun fired
be what it may. AT the bow of the
boat is Il pondercus cutter made Of
the best steel the object of which is
to cut vessel in two. This will re-
fnire very great power. which the
projectors think they have obtained
IN the way of two powerful engines.
The mode of attack is with hot water
which is thrown through hose attach
ed to the boilers. The vessel attack
ed cannot keep her men on deck. nor
can she use her cannon, as they will
be kept wet by the water thrown.-
Besides being covered with the heavy
iron, the boat is built of the heavist
and best timber.
The boat has been taken down the
river with view of letting the fort
fire on her.
