CAN THE SoUTH SUPPORT A GoyERyuENr9-
phaiet Case, in communication to the Roston
Post, fully answers this question, as follows:
NOW, there is nothing that puzzles the radical
Republicans so much as the difficulty the South
VIII nave IN raising revenue to carry on their
government. Did it ever occur to them that ten
per cent. on this article, of export duty would
raise on $3.50, ,000 S25 900 OOO and that this
would not exceed one cent per pound on the entire
cotton crop? Then suppose the South should con-
cIude to tax the products of the Northern States
ten per cent, and the Shoes hats and other imports
from the free States east of the Allegheny noun
n sanns oo ten per cent, this would yield at least
SZ5,OOO,0OO more. Then an import duty on all 9th
er imports from all other parts of the globe would
make an income of $4,000 900 mnre-S6O 600 600
In all. The South is rich in all the resources that
90 TO make the wealth and power Of great nations;
and can easily within its present territory support
two hundred millions of people.

REGIMENT OF FREE CoLoRED Men Governor
Moore, we have heard, has authorized the organi-
cation of regiment of free colored men. We have
always relied upon the fidelity of the free cOlOred
men who were born in New 0rleans--the descen-
dants of tfose who fought the plains of Chalmette
And We expect that when the regiment is fully or
ganized, and, if the mean, false, dastardy black
republicans of the North endesvOr to make hostile
approach to New Orleans, our free coored regi-
ment Will help TO teach them, by bloody lesson,
too, that they know their true from their false
friends. We heard it said that Felix Libatut Esq,
an old, esteemed, and wealthy citizen would be re-
quested to become colonel of the regiment. .-Ne,o
