Norshals could general 50,OG0 men in batLlel Scnt

what could 600 men do against the South By

Of their drums. Such army marching through

pied by population hostile 10 man. and where even
schoolboys " bark squirrel, would be decnaed
every hundred miles OF its progress by que .ina
warfare, against which it could tnd no proteclon'
This mode Of attacking the South can effect nothing
beyond The oss Of lie il will entail, and the temporary
devastation that viii mark the track of the aruies
But il is probable that circumstances would sgan as
they have done oyenue the designs VI the Washington
Cabinet and make the slow, long; ard expensive

That portion of the former United States Will uler

the failure TO se the South one hundred and twenty
millions of their manufactures each year, the soppage

the two hundred and twenty millions OF our foreign
exports ard the return mporalons, and in our inter

yery serious effect, one that way OF efcaping
Truly the North has TO pay dearly for It's whistle OF
| BLACK Repubhcarism. The Nortb.Weet depended
pariay on the Soutn for market for its productions
and so lar will suffer from the loss Of It, IL must also
be incidentally aec ed by commercial embarrassmen's
Al the North. They will assuredy have enough to eat
snd 10 wear but the fancy prces OF real estate and
Ks by which they computed their rapidly yincreu-
ing wealth must fall in way 10 ssonlsh all street
Should their crops fail, as they sometimes DO or
should the European crops be abundant, their com.
merce will fall. Yet the MACS Of the poor will have
all that they ever get anywhere-iood and rliment,
and that without stint-the Northwest will suffer
comparaiivey little.
How will i fare with the South should the war he
long and so powerfully waged to require the South
ern Confederation TO keep, say 100000 men, IN arms,
aud if the ports are strictly biockadedf ihis i' an
mporapt aues On, and one that can be answered only
from practical knowledge of the habits, resources,
and dis1o,iiions of the Southern people. Our needs
will be proyifions clothing, money for the govern

already snppied with. As tor prOvisiOIs, am salts

years sbundant supply. Every Que Is raising com,

envy the Northwest Again, manufactures Of every
kind are springing up ali sides. In this State ws

too though OF "a ruder texture, AID sOmetmes inferior
Quality, Is abundantly made, and ea,ily procured.
The supIly of tea and coffee will presume in lime
run out. This will put us to some trouble but other
wise neither for provisions nor for clothes, will the
South be seriously incOnVenienced. The blacks Y

RAPIDLY increasing demand for bone Productions Of

Up 70 the present time, and for six months more the
blockade 20 far from doing any serious injury, has on
the contrary, benefited and will continue 10 benefit
the South forcing be active and TO do for our
selves much that preferred formerly pay others
TO do for us presume that next January with crop
of 35OO,CO0 or 1000 600 Lales on hand, the South
would become very res,ive under sirict blockade.
Should il continue twelve months longer property a.

But before that time comes, another very serious
complication aTises-bow England gnd France will
stand the cutting off Of the supply Of an article on
which depend twords of the manufacturing iuterests
Of the one and ouelhd Of thoss Of the otherf They
cannot try they never much, supply the deficiency
AS far as the feelings of England concerned, and
presume, those OF France, too, both nations are de-
eidedly and bitterly An,i-Ssvery; but neither will be
guilty Of the mistake OF the North and utterly sacr
fee vast interests for the sake Of speculative idea
