THE MKT GREAT BATTLE : PREPARING rem DEFEAT
A terrible battle is at hand between the 100000
troops the banks OF the Potomac-200 600 on
either sdea battle which viii be greater than that
of Waterloo, and viii probably be dstisiEe against
the party which loses it. The mighty results de-
penng it will involve the destiny Of the people
of this continent, and perhaps modern civilization.
If there should be partial defeat Of the Federal
army let the abolition leaders who instigated the
rebellion and the war-Phiips, Garrison, Greedy,
Beeeher, Chesver, Joy Tappan and their associates
-look out for another country, as this will be teo
hot for them. If there should be total defeat Of
| the Federal army, together with the capture Of
Washington, lst the snti-slsvery demagogus who.
for the last thirty years, hrye been stirring up
the embers Of strife which resulted In the South
ern revolt, look out as fast they can for some
asylum beyond the limits of the American continent
for this il the only way in which they can consult
the safety Of their inperilled necks.
PIRATIcAL RxPEDTrIoNs AGAINST THE SOUTH.
Everybody ia aware that several expeditions of
mixed character being fitted out for operations
the Southern coast and it is generally understood
that of them at least is intended to seize and
open to the commerce of the world leading cotton
oort We recommend our mercantile readers to
K tp very close watch on this matter. The cor
sequence of very successful landing Of Union
troops at Mobile, New Orleans, Savannah or Pen
sscola, and the rcopening of such ports to the cot
ton trade would be very important and might
prove fatal to operators who allowed themselves to-
be taken by surprise by events. The first step Of
the commanding General Of the Union forces, on
occupying such poItas we have mentioned, would
be to invite all loyal citizens of the South to send
their cotton thither for shipment 1t is likely the
Invitation would be very largely accepted
There are, it is well known, hundreds Of
Union men throughout the South, who
would gladly accept safe opportunity Of
returning to their allegiance. Half the people.
of New Orleans are reported to be IN this frame
of mind. And besides thess, even the most rebels
ious planters must be in terrible strait for the
want Of money. An offer of fifteen or twenty cents
pound for cotton which is now lying idle on their
plantations, would try their attachment to the re-
bel cause somewhat sorely. There must be large
numbers of planters, in the Gulf States, whose fami
lies suffering for want of the necessaries of life
and yet who have hundreds of bales Of cotton rea-
dy for shipment, and worth at present prices, from
$50 to 500 bale. 1t is pretty certain that suff
Gent number of these planters would avail them>
selves Of the re-openng of one of their ports to
create perfect stampede in the cotton market and
very marked perturbation in foreign exchange.
Operators will do well to keep this prospect in
view.
