II The following appeared in
the Richmond VA Wing OF the 23d
ultime. If the North continues her
inhuman war upon the citizens of the
South, no better move cnn be set on
foot than that which will teach them
the horrors of invasion:
TIE Dceoted Bona-The short
est path to peace is that which car
ries havoc and desolation to ON in
vaders. 1t is believed that there arc
FIVE or ten thousand men in the South
ready and willing to share the fate
Of Curtius, and devote themselves to
the salvation of their country. 1t is
proposed that all who are willing to
make this sacrifice, shall arm then,-
selves witha sword, two five Shoe
tiers and a carbine each and meet, on
horseback, at some place to be de-
signated, convenient for the great
work in hand. Fire and sword must
be carried to the houses of those who
are visiting those blessings upon their
neighbors. Philadelphia, and even
New York, is not beyond the reach
of long and brave arm. The moral
people Of these cities cannot be bet
ter taught the virtues of invasion
than by the blazing light of their
own dwellings.
None need apply for admission to
"THE DEVOTED BAND" but
those who are prepared to take their
ifo in their hand, and who would in
dulge not the least expectation of
ever returning. They dedicate their
lives to the destruction of their cne-
mics!

WEDNESDAY,.

Teen and noU.-In October last
the New York Herald, specializing Oh
the results Of Lincoln's election, tc
the presidency of the United States
IAN event the editor looked on as ;
foregone concusion--said:
There are those who affect to de.
spise the Southern States, and say
we would be better of without them;
such persons never trouble themselves
with statistics. OF the exports OF
the countrh seventy per cents are
from the sonth, and only thirty per
cent from the north. 1t it clear eheu.
that the South, which has only halt
the white population of tho North.
while its exports are more than doub-
lie, is really supporting the northern
population in our large cities. Take
away that support and an amount of
suffering and confusion will follow
that is fearful to contemplate. The
day may not be distant when many
Of the republican merchants, meehan
les and factory hands will 'c,srse the
day they were ever induced to join
fanatical party which has brought
such ruin upon the country. But
even this would be but the beginning
Of their s0rrows.''
The Herald is now a leading or
gam i'll the pay of these same 'repub-
lican merchants, mechanics and fac
tory hands,
About the same time the same mer-
cenaEy sheet published an article ia
ken from DeBow's Review, which it
calls IA powerful article showing
that 1.-The only plan for the safety of
South and its institutions, is to re
tire at once in peace from the Union
and for the sake of The North, the
Herald adds that the danger of this
step is imminent. To thos who talk
Of coercing the southern States into
the Union, after they have secaded.
we recommend the reasoning of this
able. paper Coercion is much easier
said than done.

SINGULAR SlaNs AT n NoRrH.-It
is said that in portions Of Pennsylvania
the people positively refuse to have n.y.
thing further to do with the war, and
talk openly Of rebellion against the Gov.
erument, should 1t insist on prosecuting
it.
In Delaware, says a Northern Repub-
lican journal, there are almost as many
secessiopists as anybody else.
We see it also stated that the people
Of Belfast, Me-, have declared their deter
mination to resist by force Of arms, the
drafting Of men from that place for the
war, and to resist the payment OF war
taxes.
In Connecticut, the Legislature has
found it necessary to pass an act for the
suppression of secession meetings, and
the latest Northern papers tell Of . shsr
IF who had to ride over to a neighbor-
ing town to haul down q secession flag.
aud that be required the aid Of a c"nsid-
cradle pos<e in OF. 'er to accomplish the
