! though their canteens were filed before they
set out.
Nj. Bernel, the British consul, came over
to day to consult with Lord Lyons on certain
matters connected with our interests in the city
| Of Baltimore. As the truth is developed, the
secessiJnists in Washington become radiant
With Joy, and cannot conceal their eXultation
wherever It is safe to indulge it.
Their ears are erect for the sound of the can
] non which is to herald the entrance OF the enc
! mv into the csPitsi Of the United States. The
Uuionists on the other hand speak of the past
hopes Of the enemy, Of the great reinforce
I Dents arriving, Of The renewed efforts of the
| North, and OF its determination to PIT down
rebellion. There must be an infatuation which
amounts to a kind OF national insanity in
portion Of the North, or is it possible that they
believe what the journals tell them-thst they
/ are the strongest, brsvest, richest, mightiest
people in the world-snd that they only have
| to viii and tie world-including the Confeder-
| ate Slates-is PROSTATE before them. The eX-
| aggrrs tions and misstatements Of part of the
| American press would certa My lead those who
believed It 10 such conclusions.
THE CONFEDERATE LOAN AGAIN.
EDITORs APrEAL: am pleased to say that
up to this time, wherever have been, find no
difficulty in getting the people to subscribe to
toe loan, after they have heard me, with but
few exceptions. And Of those few exceptions,
/ am sorry to say, they are, 10 most instances,
the nen who make the most cotton, the men
I who have the most at stake. They say dwell,
I must thirk shout it." while their neighbors,
| perhaps, who DO not make the tenth bale Of
cotton, come up and subscribe literally.
| Mark you, DO not say that this is the
case with a majority Of the large plant
! er;, ear be it from me. Bat do say that
/ it is the case with few, and it ought not
to be so; it is not right, and it is not hon
orable, it is not patriotic It is sheer meanness,
and all such men should be held up to public
! sco7n. The man who withholds bis aid and
assistance to the government, and who has the
ability at this time, should be frowned down
! by the community in which he lives. Yes, and
H will be done.
/ There is another class Of men who are not
doing their duty, 70 wit: the mOneyed class in
I our cities. While in your city | called upon
/ MF. T. H. Alien, the agent Of the government,
| to receive subscriptions in your city, and there
were but two names upon his list 1t NAV be
/ said bY your people that Mr.. Allen has not
/ called upon US" All must the agent Of the
government, who does notrecsive one dime for
/ his trouble, take itupon himself 10 20 round and
/ see each man in person, when you could Just
call a bis oflce any day AMI do your duty
! enter your names upon the subscription. Why
I not do It? DOyou lack patriotism? We hope
and trust not Then 90 forward and disch srge
! your duty as men; do not wait to be drafted,
but do like our brave soldieTs-gO forward as
volunteers.
The greatest difficulty we find in our way il
TO convince the people that the bonds of the
COnfederates viii pay debts. They say, we
are perfectly willing to let you have our cotton
provided we can get anything that will pay
our debts Well, we cay to them that the
bonds of the government will surely pay debts,
or otherwise, that they will be worth moth
ing. And why so? Because, unless we sue
ceed in maintaining our independence, it is
true the bonds will be worth nothing. But
suppose We are not successful, and Mr.. Lincoln
ls, let me ask you, what is all your property
worth? ? Has bis Congress not already passed
a law caufscating all the property of all these
/ who have aided, assisted or promoted Gas be
says) this Tebellion?" This being true, then
we ask you, where is the man who has not
" aided, assisted or promotedo in some way in
carrying on this war? 1t is true, there no
doubt is some about they would not like to sneak
/ Of lust now, and we think that the day is not
/ far distant Chat is, when we shall have sue
ceeded in maintaining our Independence } when
/ ne would be less desiTous of speaking Of it
/ for it is Ger aihly true that he who is not for
! Us now is against US"
/ Then, in view Of these facts, we say, why
| not come forward and subscribe, one and ali,
for if you are in debt, the bonds of the govern
/ ment are better than any mans note, and if
| you say you cannot sell your produce, cetton
or tobacco until the blockade is raised, we
think that the blockade viii not be raised
until the war is over, or about so, and when
lf-A =, g,.-,o all
/ co and get the money, pay it over TO the gov
/ ernment, get the bonds, aud they will command
the money, il not premium you will have
! aided the government, and viii be able to nav
| your debts just as soon as you would have
done if you were to have KEEP. your crops of
cotton and tobacco.
Again, we find citizens almost every place
we 90 who tell Us, and tell the people as did
Mr. BrodnaZ on Friday last, after be heard our
! explanation, that he would take every doh
| lar that was owing to him, in the bonds Of she
government, and be said at the time, that b.
had $4,000 due him in the neighborhood in
| which he lives. We could give MANY more
names who have said the same thing, if ne
/ ce5sary.
As to those who desire to subscribe wheat,
We say manufacture it into -four, and you can
sell it directly to the government for bonds, at
once, and like wise bacon.
! We ask viii Tennessee do less than her sis
ter States in this great struggle? We trust and
believe not, fer we have found one man in
| Tennessee, 10 wit: John W Jones, land we
| hope be will not think hard OF us for giving
/ his name) who at once subscribed four hun
dred bales of cotton and said at the same time
| that he thought that be would likely raise it to
one thousand and we hope that be will, and
/ If others will do ash he has done Tennessee will
have done as well in money as she has already
! done in men, and she stands second to none on
| the score Of numbers in brave hearts and strong
arms who have gone TO the battle field to give
| their lives in defense Of the homes and fire.
