htteped upon her generosity, bu, now that abe
has cut loose the ties OF an unnatural Union,
they no, only desert her, but urge on the mad
rahble of Black Republicanism 10 attempt her
desola,ion. Thank God for It, the cords that
bound US to such treacherous friends are forever
tsundered. Time will carry to each of them the
sore penalties of their trcachcry.

"a the rebels Of the South into obedience ia
their behests. Stimulated by the instincts Of
duty, bego,,cn by a deep sense of right, the
southern people will cflectually resist the vandsl
hosts Of the North, at any odds. However there
is not much prospect that though all their frothy
vaunl'ngs, the Black Republicans viii ever dare
to invade our territory, and tina, for many .ea

will spend itself in scething words, and BY the
time our Southern troops shall have driven them
from Fort Pickens, and routed them trcm Wash

season.
In the mean time, let us stand to our arms
and keep our powder dry, and trust in the Gof
Of battles TO defend the right should the threat
