The whole South belongs to us. A good part h
~ governments bought and paid for. They have
been defended, nourished and protected. The ter.
ritory is ours. They bought 1t with the reserva-
ton that they would be subjects OF this Govern.
ment, and they shall be- or forfeit their title to CON
troll foot of the soil they claim. Let them con.
gusr i they can, We prefer conquering them to
| being conquered. We don't relish coercion but
We shall only tolerate being eoereed when we
can't help it. We can tell these would.be con.
querors that this Government has two men to their
one: TWO dollars to their one. and ten times their
/ credit, and they will only succeed when the last
man and the last dollar is gone. 1t is pretty clear
that they will give out first. -@
| We are all ready now come on and CONQUER
and suhlugate, as you threaten Let's see your
i exploits. You have boosted of the great things
you were going to do; suppose you do some OF
| them. You made great progress while the Gov.
eminent remained quiet, and let you do all the
/ fighting and Dragging. The Government waited
on you to come to your senses. The guns are
loaded now and the troops ready. II you will not
come here, we shall have to go after you. We are
gong to conquer and subjugate all that need con-
clans, generals, colonies, corporals congressman,
presidents, diplomats, etc. II we must hurt some.
body to do it, We can't help it.. It must be done.
We are threatened with England and France
| let them come en- IL they have stomach for the
| fight. France showed once what nation could
do against the combination of continent although
she was divided at home and had enemies in her
midst. Let her and Great Britain take warning
not to stir up this hornets nest Republicanism in
Europe might get some thoughts in its head, and
| the Gar might find it good opportunity to at
tend to the region around the Black Sea, and other
! European affairs. '-
What is to become of Republicanism in the me-
| lee Wells we prefer to keep the power to take
care Of ourselves and will see to it after the strug-
1 gle is over, and not leave it in the hands OF these
Southern demagogues, who would sell it out to
Europe fer mess OF pottage.

The BATTLE OF LEEsRuRG.-One personal en-

the delay which has marked the payment to Penn

equipping volunteers. and hints that it would be
satisfactory if the Government would be more
prompt in settling claims of this character.

CAPTURE OF OUR CoMMIss1oNERs.-The Charles

Disagreeable, as it is, we cannot resist the in.
ference, that the English Government will decline
any interference in behalf of our captured Commits.
sioners. If so, it is better that our people should
know the sober truth, at once, than that impressed
with vague belief in the protection afforded by

to expectations which must end in disappointment
and bitter chagrin.
The BUSINESS BEFORE CoSGREss.-It is expected
that the business before Congress will be dispatch
ed in short period We learn that it is proposed
to amend the Sequestration Act, and also to ia Ike
some action looking to the relief of the planting
interest AS far as we are advised, the disposition
of Congress is decidedly opposed to any measures
