Warsimpiy "a Cooler, NO. a settler

Lincoln is bent on conquest and we are
asked if we are for the subjugation of the
South. There is no danger Of subjuga-
tion-that is not the calamity TO be ap-
pretended. We should not object to
the subjugation of some people in the
South; they need it. Let this go on for
while, and the people South will sub
iugate those who need subjugation, and
there are some people North who will be
subiugated too. Whole schools of dem
agogues in both sections will 90 down
before the revolution is over. Ii must
be settled, and who provoked it, or orig
mated it, will never settle it. We don't
think much Of this war. 1t is only an
act in the drama, necessary now, perhaps,
but it will settle nothing. Neither Sec
tion of the Union will do what it does
not choose to do, in consequence of pres
ent events. Men must get tired before
they get cool and they are in fair way
to get very tired Thousands South
have been taught to believe, by their
braggart leaders, that they could whip
the North into terms in short order. -
They can't do it, and they will find that
out; and what will become Of these brag-
CARTS?
Then there are Northern fools that are
going to conquer or eXterminate the
South; that can't be done either. They
are miserable incompetents on both sides;
not fit to be trusted with the interests of
nations
The people of the United States have
no cause to qusrrel. They are not enc
mics; it's lie that politicians have told
them. They are fighting on that lie,
and they will find it out, to the cost Of
those who told it. The whole settle
ment comes after this interlude of war,
which will settle nothing, except that
both sides have been cheated by men
they trusted. --LOuiseiRe Democrat.

Nor CoNPLMENTARY.-A writer in
the Journal Of Commerce, after reviewing
the antecedents of Mr.. LincoIn's Minis
ters to the principal courts of Europe
Adams, Dayton, Judd, Clay, Schnrz,
Burlingame, and lIarvcy-remarlSs that
the statesmen and diplomats of Europe
will conclude "that our present batch of
diplomats represent the lastrun of shad."
If the writer had excepted Messrs. Ad-
ans and Dayton from his list, we could
hardly have excepted to its justice. Mr..
Clay has already disgraced his position
by illtimod, ill-tempered and extremely
injudicious proceedings since his arrival
in Europe. Our foreign Ministers should
be men marked for strong practical good
sense. This is an indispensable qualif-
cation and that is just what some OF
them certainly have not. sa

The House or CoMoNs-An English
peer Of the realm cannot hold a seat in
the House of Commons. But consid
cradle number'of persons in Great Bril-
tain are styled lords who are not peers,
and therefore not entitled to seats in the
House of Lords. The eldest sons of
dukes, marquises, and earls are called
lords by courtesy, and there are certain
Iiish and Scotch peers who are not peers
Of the realm. Lord Palmerston, for ex-
ample, is an Irish lord, but an English
commoner, and he sits in the House of
Commons. Lord John Russell is styled
lord because he is the son of the Duke
of Bedford, but he is no more peer than
his groom is.

SoUND OF BALLS An Albany Iouave
who was in the Bethel affair, says: The
enemy soon found out where we were,
and began to throw their fire into the
wood, but, fortunately for us, they aimed
little too high. Every instant we could
hear the balls whizzing through the air
and crashing among the trees. We could
tell each kind of ball or bullet by the
sound it made in passing through the air.
There was one riAed cannon, the balls
from which rushed along with shrill,
angry shrek, as it might be called, like
the sound of steam whistle the big
balls and shells went humning along, aud
there was also the hiss Of grape shot and
rifle and musket balls.

Letter Of Jefferson Davis 10 the
Maryland Commissioners.
MONTGOMERY ALA,
May %

MONTGOMERY ALAv
May %.
GENTLRMEv:-I received with sincere
pleasure the assurance that the State of
Maryland sympathizes with the people
of the Confederate States in their deter
mined vindication of the right of self
government, and that Ahe people Of
Maryland are enlisted with their whole
hearts on the side of reconciliation and
peace.
The people Of these Confederate States,
notwithstanding their separation from
their late sister States, have not ceased
to feel deep solicitude in her welfare,
and to hope that at no very distant day
that States, whose people, habits and
institutions are so closely related and
assimilated with theirs, will seek to
unite her fate and fortunes with those of
this confederacy.
The government Of the Confederate
States receives with respect the sugges-
tion Of the State of Maryland, that there
should he a cessation of the hostilities
now impending until the meeting Of
Congress in July next, in order that
said body may, if possible, arrange for
the adjustment of the existing troubles
by means of negotiation rather than the
sword. But it is at loss to reply with
out a repetition Of the language it has
used on every possible occasion that has
presented itself since the establishments
of its independence, r
In reference to the State Of Mary.
land, however, it again asserts in the
most emphatic terms that its sincere and
earnest desire is for peace; that whilst
the government would readily entertain
any proposition from the government of
the United States tending to a peaceful
solution of the present difficulties, the
recent attempts of this government to
enter into negotiations with that Of the
United States were atteuded with re :.
suits which forbid any renewal of pro.
posals to that Government. 4sdH
If any further assurance of the desire
of this government for peace were nee
cessary, it would be sufficient to observe
that, being formed Of a confederation Of
sovereign States, each acting and deeid-
ing for itself, the right of every other
sovereign Stateto assume self-actiona and
self government is necessarily acknowl-
edged, Hence, conquests of other States
are wholly inconsistent with the funda.
mental principles, and subvcrsive of the
very organization Of this government
It's policy cannot but be peace--peace
with all nations and peoples. 'am
Very respectfully, fa y

CorroN STATtsrIcs.-The latest reports
from great Britain show that the con-
sumption Of cotton for the current crop
year has diminished an average of $500
bales per week, or 170,4UO bales for the
year, owing to the high price and the
commercial depression The stock in
Liverpool May "a, was 1 ,112,000 bales,
sufficient to supply the weekly consump-
tion at the last average (43,600 bales)
for more than twenty-five weeks. Be-
sides, there were at sea, bound for Liy-
erpool, 10000 bales from the United
States and 100000 bales from Bombay,
or supplies for nine weeks more thirty
five weeks in all.

letter writer proceeds to tell what such
things sometimes cost o'j sstaT
What passes with you, there as
grand and glorious coup de main, is here
known to have involved us in complica-
ton of new aud unlocked for difficulties.
Lieut.. Tompkins' unauthorized death in.
to the villege of Fairfax Court House,
with AZ men, is of this order. First he baf.
fled zen. McDowell's design which was,to
capture, the next night, the whole Con-
federate force at tpe Court House; and,
second, he gave an alarm that spread
through the valley of'Virginia and down
to Richmond, and brought twenty thous.
and men and heavy and numerous bat.
teries into our very neiglborhood. The
dash into Fairfax Court House prevented
Gen. Scott's proposed seizure of tho
railroads dverging from the Junction at
distance of a few miles from the same.
He could not risk his small force, when
divided, against full batteries and ad-
vancing armies. See now to what ex-
pense and effort he is driven by the gall
lantry of Lieut.. Tompkins. Thrown on
the defensive, be abandons the design of
attacking the strong lines of the enemy,
and in extending his own line of defence
from Georgetown up the Potomac, on
both banks. He has thus to withdraw
troops from this city, though they arc
needed here. tF
