Yet Il was accomplished, and Esypt was one
year ago tie basest Of sations, Ii Is, EoaeYer,
no longer so. The Yankee nation has wiGaiL

which the native nleannoss Of the Egypti IN

thousand years OF uninterrupted slavery and
the vices which slavery brings in Its tran

not only as tee baseSt OF existing nations, but

say il mas wiahin that time sh0mn itSeIf to be
Ill this.
L, Is to dissolve the bands that connected
rs with this dstestahle and Getsslsd peopls
that the present Confederation is esssblisaoa
and tee present war wsged. Tho Southern
Stases hass for eighty years been victims Of
the punishment prescribed by the tyraEt
MEzEsrIus TO the enemies who fell in his pow
err They have been chained TO the dead
pu.rid carcass Of Yankcsdou, and compelled
10 drag ii along at the peril Of their own OK
istence. They have executed ;heir hard task
with infinite losthing-they have, &C last, Gu,
themselves loose---and no earthly power can
ever again restore the liuks CT the broken
chain. Those Northern newspapers and
Washington correspondents, therefore, who
write chat the Confederation designs to con
auer yanksed3m, and to make JEFF. DAVIS
President OF the whole country lately known
as the United States, either lie wilfully, or arc
wholly ignorant Of TIE views entertained either
by tie Southern people or the Southern Presi
dent. They desire nothing more than 10 shake
off the rc.ten care sss-to place gulf Of fire
between them aud the bases: of naiions"-to
render future Union utterly and wholly ia,
possible, honcasorward forever, worlds without
end. Neither as felow-cit Of tho same
Republic, nor as felioT-subjects Of tho same
monarchy, nor as conquered race, nor g.
slaves, ror rs tributaries, Dor under any other
form Of connection whatever, do they dasire
10 have nuy communication with them.
1t ie, therefore, wholly irnmatnrial to the
question of Reunion, whether the cotton man
utacturing interests of Europe f7d new SOURCES
Of supply or not. So repugnant is the
thought Of reunion to the heart of every
Southern man who deserves the name,
that In the whole Southern States there
Is not cotton planter who would not will
irg'y burn every baio of cotton, and f.rego
the cultivation of it forever hereafter, were
the alternative presented to him of cotton ia
The Union or no cotton ont Of It. Such pa
pars as the New York Herald reckon withou.
t. cir hos: whom they fancy that The equaniin-
ity Of The Confederation Is at ell disturbed by
the efforts OF Great Britain TO open new chan
nsls Of supply. The w-r is not war fer tie
cake Of cotton-itis not a war for commercial
interests. These are but incidental questions.
1t is war of separation. final and eternal,
from tho irfanously degraded associates 10
whom We have heretofore been chained. We
are perfectly able to exist and 10 flourish, al
though another bale should never grow scuth
Of MASON and DixoE's lie.
I. is amazing, nevertheless, to read Yankee
sreculations upon this subject. The New
York Herald, for instance. stealing the thur
der of the New York Times, gravely tells US,
upon the faith Of paragraph in the London
7smes, that England, in obtaining her sup
plies hereafter, will entirely ignore the South
ern States-thSt she viii get an extra half
million from India ibis year, aad eventually
more--tha. she will cultivate vast quantities 10
Australia--that she has obtsiaed lsaye 10 set
tie colony in NicsTa qua, ana, IN q werd, that
the Southern States w. III soon lose altogether
the market for their great staple. A gloomy
picture the Herald draws for tho Southern
s.ates, ualess they repent and consent cnce
more TO return TO the besom Of ABRAHAM --
There are, however, seFeral little drawbacks
10 the perfection Of this grand scheme, which il
hints at, AID which have to be removed, be-
fore il can otDmsnd the full success to which
the WELDON of its conception entities ii. For
instance, in India the cotton has to bs trans
ported hundreds Of miles from the interior on
the backs of Men or malee. That, however, is
but small drawback. The Government Is
10 build railroads thousands of miles long for
the convenience of tie Herald theory. TIE
Government: has tried heretofore to raise cot
Ton In India. Ii has even, On several occa-
sioas, obtained seed from America. Tie cot
ton IL good the frst year, but the second it de-
generates into she same Inferior, almost worth
