Tho Southern ConEedcracy.
In tho February No., 1861, Of De Bows Re-
view, the editor thus sums up the important
advantages which will DO possessed by tho
Southern Confederacy:
/. It will have q territory Us great as the
whole Of Europe, with the exception OF Russia
md Turkey.
9. 1t will have population five times that
of the Continental Colonies; twice that Of the
United States during our last war with britain;
and equal to that Of Britain when she contested
the world with Bonaparte.
8. It will have commerce which, IN eX-
ports, already equals iour.tiiths OF the entire
exports Of the Union. This commerce has
built VI the commercial marine Of the United
States, as it almost employs ii, and in building
up this, builds up the navy with It.
l. twill embrace homogeneous population,
little admxea with those or foreign blood, ana
its organized servile labor will De the greatest
source Of strength and not OF weakness, as IS
the panper population OF other countries. lhiH
homogeniety will keep lis unit Tor az long
period as any other Government can be kept
such, and much longer than tic Government
that surrounds Us.
5. II will be speedily recognized. aud lorm
treaty s!ipulatons with al slvi!!Eed countries !
for. in thia age, "Commerce IS King, rather
than sentiment and controls the diplomacy OF
The world. The people that lave such 10
otIer will not long go begging Tor recoghi'
ton.

sble, upon any ra,iona! theory, that It Viii DC

Correspondence OF tile " y. Exprt's
WASHINGTON, March II.
The U. S. Army is in rebellion In other
words, it has been satisfactorily ascertalned
at tie War Department, through the officers
in command Of the several posts at Which the
army is distributed, that the RANK and il!e re-
fuses to be employed in ctnno"adlng, tiSlla-
ding and bayonetlnS their teiiow- conntrymen.
They declare that they were enlisted 10 nsht
Indians, Mexlcans, British, French, SPonlardS,
OF any other enemies OF the country who
might present themselves, but not to light Anne
r;canS. So the business OF coercion is ut
dead lock, for the good and sufficient reason
that .eOercives' are not forthcoming. Hence,
Fort Sum:er and Fort Pickens will be soon
evacuated, because relnlorceIarns cannot be
obtained for these posts. Tbs movement TO
the rear, on tie part OF the tecerel 1uvcrn-
ment now seems lneVitaoio.
