Of the London 7Fnasr, who tells Ms, psinef-

play the waiting game much better than
North. When particular result IS De

the war. It's Internal aud foreign trade
was never more active. Labor IS every
where free, productive and well rewarded.
Onr hanks were never more money ma
king; our railroads were never transport
ing so much freight, or earning 50 much
tho North never had more oounhIuL crops
and never got so much money for them;
even the vast burdens Of the war amount
ing to s.. 900, 900 per day, are not felt to
be a burden. On the contrary, tney 3P eeE
ate as great stimulus TO trade and bush
ness, The burdens will not be felt till the
war closes. There was never before so
much gold in the country, and money, TOR
months past, has been most abundant, and
was never more plenty than ut the present
moment. 80 z4
So long, Consequently, as the North can
borrow, the expenditures OF the war are not
asburden. How is It with the South It
deyotes itself to one great staple which It
cannot eat, NOR drink, nor convert INTO
forms fitting 1t for use. Nearly every bale
OF Cotton raised has to be exported beyond
Its limits. The proceeds Of this sustained
Southern society-uot only fed and clothed
the white man, and gave him all the tuxu=
ries he enJoyed, uB5WAS aiuso5t equally
the support of the negro, whose clothing,
at least, was all furnished from the North.
Now this stapIe.thfS stan of life which
was food clothing and shelter 10 the South
which was the means through which 1t
supplied itself with everything but raw cot
ton, is in effect instantly blotted out of eEis-
teuee. We shoald like 70 ask Mr. Rnssell
which party can play the eating game with
the least harm and suffering-the one who is
overfiGwing ia means, or the one destitute
of them,-9ad not only SO, but whose in-i
dolence and incapacity will not allow him
to take up any new trade OF industry 70

part, we do not bee how q people are long

nor do we see how the latter party can

test in which the longest purse is sure to
win. tits, aimAEim in war that success Is
in ratio to the means Of the belligerents.
The North, in time of peace, Is tenfold
richer than the South. There can now be
no comparison belWeen the two, because
the war has destroyed what means the
South had at the commencement OF II,
while it has left those Of the North unimr
paired. stil .a
EnRlishmen seem to have acted upon the
idea that the North was the only party that
needed money for the prosecution OF the
war. The need is a mutual one. Mt.
Stephens, Vice Ptesldent Of the Oonfeder-

The North can transport soldiers and fill
their commissariats At vastly less cost than
the South. The latter have not been able

distant as ever. The rebels, in their rage

the end of the war. The rebels, every

the support of their population, ale every

ties, hopeless odds. few months more
