news from the south.

The Norfolk Day Book of the 9th has an J
article upon the peace proposition OF Ar.
Salisbury. It says:
AS for their Union, we would remind
then, thar it is an excellent Union for them, |
being composed of such despieable God-for-
gaken gcoundrels as were never raked to-
getber in one parcel since the world has
been world tits now perfect g-eat-dog !
copglonieration Of negro thieves and pirates;
ard as they have got rid of the honest peo-
pie of the South, they are now al liberty to
q 20 it with a rush"
The following is the Day Books opinion
Of the Presidents message:
+ This document, which we spread before
4 our readers on Saturday, came IS near per- /
lection, we conceive, as possible, in the art /
/ of DECEPTION. The message was Doubtless
drawn up b. Seward (the cunning old toz), /
who uses the English language TO conceal
his thoughts. We think cur readers have,
ere this. come TO the conclusion that they
gained as little insight into the affairs OF
the Yankee nation by peTuslrg that doeu-
k41ent as they would have gained 9y reaolhg
n proclamation from the King of the FtJee
Islands. Six meFtal columns to conceal
from the world that the boasting Yankee
dynasty has been whipped in every battle
they have undertaken, and would ike to
back out Of the scrape if a decent pretexs
I were TO offer, is not such bad prod uctlon
IN these var dimes, with cotton at thirty
: cents a pound, and anarchy and starvaton
! staring them in the face, and the almost
f certainty of having their own ports block
