The War and it's Results.

r should restore friendly relations and renew
, trade and intercourse with the North. We
have been so long dependent on New Eng
land in almost every department of busi
/ ness, and the affairs of our citizens are 80
mixed up and inter-rami6ed with theirs,
. that an early peace, unless very cautiously
. and carefully guarded in its provisions,
, would be sure to restore in great measure,
i. our former dependence. Again We should
J be flooded with Yankee goods, Yankee
manufactures, Yankee teachers, preachers,
pedlers and drummers. Again their vile
: literature their books, magazines, re.
views and newspapers would infest US, thick
and noxious as the plaques of Egypt, and
Iinocuate our people with their shallow
thought, tawdry fashions, mischevious theo.
ries and gross immoralities. Again would
our merchants flock to their cities, our
youth to their schools, colleges aud univer-
sites, and our rich and fashionable men and
women to their watering places. A peace
attended with these consequences, or even
part of them, would be worse than three
years war; for such peace would rob the
South of its money and its mind, destroy
its nacent manufactures and prevent the
growth of its foreign commerce. Such a
peace would impoverish the South and re-
store the wealth of the North. In all but
name, We should again become their slaves
and tributaries. Trade now conquers faster
than arms and the centres of trade are the
seats of power; whilst the countries which
they trade with are their subjects, their
provinces, or their colonies. If disunion
does not build up centres of trade and cen
tres of thought and centres of fashion in the
South, disunion will have effected little
good. Capitalization is one of the great
evils of the day, and the only way to be.
come Independent of Capitalization from
without is to create centres Within
Whilst a speedy peace is almost sure to
make US again the tributaries Of Northern
trade and Northern Capitalization, three.
years war would be certain to make us suf-
6ciently independent of all nations, by
teaching US to live within ourselves, to do
our own hand-work and our own head
work, to write our own books and make our
own shoes, to manufacture our own doctors,
and professors and pill venders, to build our
own houses and make our own clothes. In
effecting all this, We should necessarily es-
tablish centres of trade, or manufactures, of
education, of thought aud of fashion.
The very hope Of a speedy peace is doing
US much harm, by preventing men from un-
dertaking various forms of manufacture
which they knew would prove profitable
during the war, but would be ruinous after
a peace, patched up on Yankee or Submis
sion terms.
We desire peace as much as most men,
and would not have the war continue one
moment after its legitimate purposes have
been attained. But this is q war of inde-
dependence-we are independent whilst it
lasts and if peace is to restore dependence,
we say, then, better fight ou-6ght forever
There is greater danger to be appre'
pretended from hasty and incautious
peace than any We have as yet suggested,
and which We have, therefore, reserved for
separate consideration. 1t is bad enough
to deal with Northerners-to have them Wis
it US, and to be forced to visit them-but
it would be ruinous to have them come down
upon US in shoals as numerous as the mack
ercl and cod about their coasts, to seize the
ballot box and control the helm of State
Unless the terms of peace exclude them,
this they will certainly do. The Yankees
are not farmers, and few will remove to the
Northwest. We have been their best Gus
tomers-have bought most of their manu-
factures-and, if we refuse to 60 to them,
they will certainly (unless prevented) come
to US. Lowell and Salem, Boston and Hart
ford, and every other town and village in
New England, will empty their scouudrel
bosses, their filthy factory hands and starv-
ing laborers upon ua. They will change the
whole tone and character Of our society,
and soon uniting with the submissionists,
abolitionize one half of the South.
No treaty of peace will be worth fig
that does not effectually exclude Yankee
notions aud Yankee people. Our tariff
should discriminate against their goods,
and our naturalization laws against them.

CHANGES IN THE NORTHERN ARMY
a special dispatch to the Cincinnati Enqut
rer, dated July 8, says:
"Fremont will assume command Of all
the army in Western Virginia, relieving
Generals Patterson aud McCelland. The
Government is dissatisfied with Gen. Pat
terson. He has had twenty-five thousand
men, and does nothing. They say that he
should have occupied Lynchburg by this
time General Mcclellan will be relieved
simply that he may give his whole atten,
ton to the division North of the Ohio, and
to Missouri.
"The Government is losing confidence in
General Scott. His health is very bad,
having a complication of diseases. He in
sists on doing every thing himself. 1t was
General Scott who induced Mr.. Lincoln to
appoint General Dix to command the army
on the Potomac, thereby superseding, with
a civilian of seventy, the young, vigorous
officer in command. The appointment was
not agreeable to the Cabinet, which desired
to have it changed, which may yet be
DONE"
