SOUTHERN RIGHTS IN MAINE.
The Augusta COnstitutiOaalist publishes the
following letter, received BY a gentleman, a
mechanic, in that city, from a friend Of his
an honest working man, now living in one Of
the largest towns in Maine. It breathes a
spirit Of friendship toward the South, which is
peculiarly refreshing and as it, perhaps, re-

MAINE, February s, 1861.

There is something awful in disunion, and
in the thought that all our greatness must be
sacrificed by a party in the North, disconten-
ted, because they are not in the highest places
in the Government, and want a chance to lord
it over all the earth.
If these fanatics think they can wal on the
institutions Of the South, and drive them to
desperation and secession, and thea on pre-
tsnce OF enforcing the laws, think they will
hold the North as a unit in favor Of marching
against our southern brethren, to subdue them
BY the sword, they make a great mistake.
That can never be. Where is the man, or the
cause, that can excite the descendants Of
patriots, to march against the countrymen OF
Hayne, Cochran, Jackson, Butler, and hun
dreds Of others that 1 might nanr2 The black
hell-hounds think that madness rules the hour,
but say 10 your friends that when a Black
Republican army starts on 4 crusade to drehch
southern soil with southern blood, there are
6fty-fve thousand Democrats in Maine that
will shoulder a back load Of provisions, and
march to their relief, and the Republicans will
find the southern army sprinkled with northern
Democrats.

TIE PROSPECT,

THE PROSPECT.
To ouf mind matters wear more favorable aspect
for the Confederate States, than they have ever hth
erto. In the first place, are now assured, almost
beyond peladventure OF an abundant harvest not only
of food crops but Of cotton end tobacco TOO. Next
we have met the enemy IN tgo great battles, and have
shown our superiority on the field, In both and
officers as have always shown superiority in the
Cabinet and the Senate And lastly, We have every
prospect of an early recognition by the European ma
TONS as member Of the family Of nations, and Of
the blockade of our ports being Iorced by England
and probably by France too.
We ought not TO be over sanguine of success, az
least not TO such degree az to put US off guard in
any respect or TO relax envy of our efforts al ndepend
ence And we do not believe there is any danger that
our Government can become 40 confident as to relax
its energies in the slightest On the contrary. for 80
days past more work has been DONE and OF the right
,oft than ia any other 30 days since the began.
Our army is large In numbers, well appointed, well
offered enthusiastic in devotion to the Government,
and to the great captains at the armys head and eager
10 be led to victory once again. As rapidly as pos.
sible all the necessary appliances for 40 army of oc
patton are being organized and the country and the
world stand expectant of the final great struggle, now
not far ahead which shall determine for all time the
rights the character the capacity, and the rank of
these Confederate States Of America.
Along the Virginia bank of the Potomac is cOngre"
eating Beauregards and Johnston's great army, the
conquerors at Manassas with tens Of thousands more
Of brave aud ardent SoutherneN, whose only regret
~, that ley were not present on tne <ist Juy anu
whose chief and burning aspiration is to get at the
enemy. Day BY day, as a steady wall OF steel,
the army Of the Potomac /, pressing forward,
slowly forward toward the beleagured capital
of the enemy. In the far West, McCulloch
has beaten aud routed the enemy. and while
he and Hsrdee advance their victorious banner,
the enemy, under the explorer OF the Rocky houhc
taius, crouch and cover in ST. Louis the key-dy OF
the vast and fertile empire of Missouri. Beyond the
Allsghanies the gallant Lee and Wise, and their COM
rades in arms, with army of no small numbers, are
moving forward to retrieve the disaster OF kisn NOUN
tain and Carricks Ford to ayeuge the death OF Tar
nett and to drive fro Virginia the last yestage OF tne
invaders and tho Tories. And Magruder from tue
best accoupts, is making ready for hot work ana de

ary matters thus progress the Government rests upon

united, loyal, determined, unconquerabe people ready

CHESTER =. J., Aug %, 1861.
Yesterday the UnOni-ts Of this place rs sed eplen-
did pole 100 feet high, from which now oats gal
liant and time-honored flag, II must be remembered
that Chester has always been one Of the stronges.
Democratic holds in Morris County, and since hoslii-
ties began has contained large number Of "peace
men," who were strongly opposed to the war and IN
favor of COMPROMISE if not Of actually joining hands
with the Southern traitors. Their organs have been The
NJ Y. Da7g Nc,rs and Journal Of Commerce, and like
the perfdous editors of these infamous end poisonous
sheets they have exhibited all the treasonabenest Of q
Benedict Arnold with none Of bis courage, But yes
t.rday food Of light was lei into their dsTkened souls
and many can now say with the man spoken OF IN
John: Whereas was blind, j now see" The COM
mitee appointed to procure speakers wisely Gent for
LAWYERS vanatta and Dalrymple Of Morisowp, strong
Union men, and the acknowledged leaders in The Dem
ocrstic party.
The meeting was called TO order by Senator Budd,
who nominated Mr. Rankin the Principal OF the Cbes-
fer Institute as President, The meeting was opened
by PRAYER by the Rev. John A. Todd OF Tarrytown,
n Y, who earnestly besought the Almighty to give
WISDOM counsel and energy TO those III authority, and
to assist US in cru,hDg out this rebellion and in re-
storing the supremacy Of the laws. Mr. Nansita then
made an earnest and eloquent aGufes. lie said that u
was now no time to inquire who was the author of
our evils the war was upon Us, and we must sustain
il or perish. The West would sooner dye the Missis-
sipp with their warm heartsbood than see It's waters
running through an enemys country. 1t wac Of vital
Importance 10 them to have this noble river unob-
structed We must assist them, and 60 forth to fight
their and our batles lie az least would cast in bis lot
with the patriotic Dickinson, the warike Butler, and
the heroic Dix.
Mr. Dalrymple then addressed the assembly, demon
sTating the necessity Of scksonian policy, the folly
oftalng comprom se the utility Of any peace until
the rebels laid down lrs arms and submitted to the
laws, the fearful rate % alton if The rebels succeed
and the necessity OF 'aHg earnest war men in Office
On the whole, bis as been great day for Chester
The little eaven hs d already commenced to leaven
the whole lump. TIE moral atmosphere lie clearer
than ever before. Man who were enveioped in the
ists and fogs of ignorance and error are now in the
sunlight and we trust viii bring forth fruits meet for
repentance" There bas been great revival Of prac
teal patriotic religion here for what is more duty
than to obey the "powers that be)i From hence
forth we advance.
