The mainland Of Hyde county will be seriously com
promised unless loyal troops sent there. We regret
to believe that tits is So but fear that there are men
prominent there, whose hearts are with their Northern
investments who could not subscribe dollar TO q
work for the bentf OF their own State but could send
thousands North for inves mint Where the treasure
s there will the heart be also.
On Sunday last there twelve hundred Lncolui:e

gunboats the Sound and of their ships outside
at sea- and they in terror of being attacked arc
stormed. The 1ories worse than the Yankees by

The Washington n c., Dispatch speaks of the peo-

know what to believe. There may possibly be some
twenty-five hundred white residents the sandhils

fishermen but more OF them wreckers witt proportion
of the faults that the latter pursuit inevitably entails
There may be truth however i'll the fact that these peo-

had reason for so feeling An isolated ignorant, half

The NORTHERN PAPERS speak about the Southern
revolution and the Southern rebellion Sspd in do
ing they speak incorrectly, because, although the
South has severed her connection with the North she
herself has had revolution--the framework of her
social and governmental fabric is untouchedthe exist
ing rghts of her people are preserved-the laws are
supreme-republicau institutions and representative
government remain intact with fresh guarantees and i'm
proved constitutional safeguards. Neither can our
separation from the North be characterized rebel
lion unless it be shown that owed allegiance to
the North-that the Northern people were our right
full lords and masters. We cannot see how any such
claim could be substantiated by reason or Justice
There is then no rebellion
But have not the people Of the North Submitted their
rights and interests and the rights and interests of their
postery to the tender mercies of ruthless rev.
olution? WHO can say that the military dictatorship
now at Washington is the constitutional government
under which the United States had in other days grown
and prospered? Who will say that the military is sub
ject to the civil authority, when any petty satrap OF
Lincoln or Seward can send file of ma and cast any
citizen into Fort Lafayette or Fort McHenry where
neither Ibeas corpus any other remedial provision
can reach him, his friends communicate with him
Who will say that free speech or free press any Ion
ger exist under the shadow of Sewardsm. Why, even
women placed in limbo, and the minions of Francis
Joseph King Bomba may we'll tremble for their lg-
noble laurels when brought into competition with the
system of espionage and espal set on foot by Seward
the nroducer Of passports for persons going or return
ing to foreign countryfor never was the passport
system before adopted by any people speaking the
English tongue. Lincolnism means military despotIsm,
and the rapid steps by which the northern government
has b carr led to this point, may well be said to mark
the most extraordinary revolution in history
Where this thing will sopto what extent It's leaders
may carry their atrocity-woud be difficult to say.
Fear is the parent of cruelty Fear made Robesperre
the he He prescribed all those be feared
suspected being his enemies end each head fell
into the basket he fancd and not without cause that
from the spoutipg blood would spring up ten fold crop

soon he with Seward, Chase, Cameron and Lincoln
Blair. They are 80 far Oh that they dare not re-
treat aud they go they will find it more difficult
If they faer they lost aud the desperation of PER
sona fear will supply what is lacking in true courage
We can all now see the associations from which we
have cut loose and the character of the political ele-
ments with which it is sought to compel into connec
ton. We have not escaped an hour Perhaps
it would have been better if We had escaped sooner.

all in our power to stay the ruin that seems

sign both to q common grave, The aboli-
tionisis of the North, through the nallotbox
are seeking TO retain power which Is as de-
structiye as death to the institutions under
which we live. Loud applause. 49,
Let US take q position that will enable
as to efectually put AbOlitionism down Of
the ballot box. Wecsre not what men are
in charge Of the Government, 1t is our duty
to protect and preserve that Government,
and to resist with arms and If need be with
our lives the men who seek to overthrow
It. We win ssy to everybody at home and
abroad, that this must be no war for the
emancipation Of slaves, but . war for the
preservation of the Government and the
rights Of all sections Of the Union. -
The time has come when the position Of
g great party must be decisively taken, for
no negative policy can preserve the country
from destruction at this crisis. Il Is true, that
unhappily for the country, we have not the
power at this time to administer the govern

mark out the decisive cource of action, which
we propose, in order to rescue the country
from the dangers that surround it.
BE further says the Democratic party can
give tone to this var, SO that itmay be said
that it was war to uphold the Constitu-
ton, to preserve the Government to giveto
every section Of the country their just
rights under the Constitution, and so that
it may be known that we have fought to
put down this rebellion from love to our
whole country, and not from hate to our
brethren of the South, and that we are
ready 10 proclaim that as soon as this re-
bellion is over we are prepared to meet the
South again in liberal spirit, and to guar
entee full constitutional rights to all i

Anticipated Conflict in Europe--Iron Clad
iai War ships--Grear Ship Warrior.


War Ships--Grear Ship Warrior.
Advices from Europe, from good private
sources, writes "Ion," of the Baltimore Sun
20 to shpw9 that England and France will
probably have enough to do at home without
troubling themselves with American affairs.
I have lust read a letter from an intelligent
American to friends Ia this city, giving an
account of the really hostile attitude which
England and France now hold towards each
other, and the extent of their wsrlike pTepa-
rations. That great conflict will soon take
place in Eurofe, In which England aud
France will be antagonists, the writer be-
lieves to be certain. In this conflict will be
tested the power of those new engines of de-
strueiion, the iron clad war ship He visited
and examined, with the eye of a sailor and
engineer, the famous man-of-war, the War
rior. As piece of architecture the Warrior
is magnificent, ard be has no doubt that,
single handed, she7wOu'd T'.Whip'' a whole
feet of wooden ships of-war, without much
damage TO herself Her model is beautiful,
and in all her appointments she Is the per-
fiction Of modern architecture. Her length
Is four hundred and twenty feet, beam forty
1 eight feet, depth fifty feet from spar deck,
horse power l,250, armament, thirty-six 6s
Founders on her gun deck, and on the spar
deck two lO0pounders and two 4O-pound
pivot Armstrong guns.
The Warrior Is divided into three grand
compartments, besides various smaller ones
and al water tight. The central grand com.
uartment Is zoo feeI long, the bulwarks o.
which are eighteen inches thick. The entir'
compartment forms a perfect castle, imper'
vious TO water or shot, whether BY raking o.
crcss FIRE. Should one hundred feet Of thu
ship, forward and abaft the castle be sho
J away, the castle would still Aost, with all he

7 a shell fa ling would not penetrate into the
