ONWARD |!

Human life is made upOf Teverses. warts mace
up of victory and defeat. The first years OF the
Revolution brought scarcely anything but disaster
and defeat even TO Washington. Retreat followed on
discontinue, and Eew.York, New-Jersey, Phlladcl-
pbia, and South Carolina, all fell before the advancing
columns Of the invader. But the people had wiiled
that they would be free, and they permitted no accu
mutation Of disaster to overcome the determination.
1t was the iron viii of Napoleon that taught him to
reject the word impossible from his vocabulary. His
tory is full of his astonishing successes. He sue
cessiyely crushed every European coalition as quick
y as it was formed, but an equally iron Will In
England to overthrow him huulbled him by the last
coalition at Waterloo. The stubborn viii OF Eng
land exceeded even his in stubbOnnesB. 1t was
like two pugilists who had determined to see who
could pound the longest Alexander displayed the
same traits i'll his pcrseyerng war to suhlugaie the
Persians; and in our own time, Russia subdued the
Circassians after years of slaughter to be in tuu,
subdued in the Crimea. The resOlutc will to con-
auer. no matter what the difficulty carried the day.
Personal history is eloquent with incidents where
determined win has scattered every obstacle TO the
winds and made success Ii has saved the toer-
inc merchant from insolvency and lifted up the bank
rupt into independence. There is walk OF life in
which hesitation and tmidity have not been fatal,
or where iron resolution has not achieved gigantic
! success.
! The Union has staggered rebellion by an ex-
hibition of its resolute determination to crush it
| out. The Administration comes up with un-
/ hiuching dOggeduess to enforce this iron Will.
! The work of pulyerization has begun, and Will
suffer no pause until thoroughly accomplished.
So far We have had no reverses. Though sum-
ter was lost for the time, yet the enemy paid
magnifcenty for its possession. he South gave
up. as the price, the Northern alliance which
had seduced it into treason, aud cOmpacted the
whole North into unity as unexpected as 1t is
terrific. This miraculous unity is the evidence
of an iron will that can make no pause, nor
suffer any Encouragement to drive it from Its
settled purpose of determination. AS the fathers
of the Republic met with reverses in the begin
ming of their heroic career to establish 1t, 80

BELLIGERENT AND NATIONAL.
RIGHTS,

BY the law OF nations when body of rebels
in any nation resist the sovereign authority with
such force ~ to compel it to make war upon
them in the usual way, such a state of things is
called civil war.
The existence of such q condition is q question
of fact. The consequence is drawn by the law
of nations, which is, that both parties are to be
considered as belhgerents and to be treated by
neutral nations with perfect equality in 30 far as
they are belligerents merely. All the right which
bellgerency gives is simply that oil acts Of vio-
lence against Its enemy done by party 10 that
condition, are TO be regarded by neutral nations
as acts of war, and not Of felony.
But it is important not to confound rights which
arise from nationality with the right which springs
from belligerency. A nation in a state OF war
may demand many things Of neutrI States to
which mere belIigerent without nationality is
not entitled. For example, beGgerent, merely
M such, has no right to enter the ports of any
nation. The vessels Of ono State enter the ports
of another either by virtue of treaty by inter-
national courtesy without any reference to state
of peace or war. A bellgerent may make prizes
from Its enemy but only as a State can it enter
the ports of another State. But rebel power
having no nationality, can have no recognized
flag, no minister, no consul, no public agent,
within the jurisdiction Of any nation. We enter
the harbors of England by virtue Of treaties.
The Confederate States have no treaties. The
right they seek is not belliserent right, nor
right conceded TO them By the law or courtesy
Of nations. They ask to be admitted to England
simply because they arc at war with u.s. VIII
that be considered by England as meritorious
claim to her favor We presume not. She
will justly conclude that to allow the Rebel flag
to wave in her ports-to permit the public or
private vessels or prizes Of the Rebels to enter
her harbors-is equivalent 10 acknowledging the
nationality and Independence of the Confederate
States. Such an act, she well knows, would be
a violation of her duties to US and regarded as
most unfriendly by the people of the United
States. We ask notL ng Of England which the
law Of nations does not explicitly give us and
we have a right to expect that England viii
grant nothing to the Rebels which the same law
does not as distinctly award to them.
