sFcESs'.'s BACKBONE CRACKED.
1uE courage and strength of the rcbelious
States gradually grows weaker and weaker,
and The handwriting on the wall" is too
plain to b. misunderstood. The rebels SOC
and understand this as we'll as we do, and
already elimination and rccrimnation has
been seriously inauguated among them .--
conscious Of the swift coming of a patient
but powerful nations wrath. One year ago,
fact, there was much that was promising in
the prospect. But it is clear that the slave
power made several miscalculatons. IN
the first place they counted on active aid
and cooperation in the North, which, to our
shame be it said, they had good reason to
do. That express pledges and assurances
of aid were given cannot be proven, perhaps
except by the testimony of the rebels
themselves. They assert the fact, and it is
intrinsically oroditable. Relying on that
cooperation, they were terribly disap-
pointed
They rcckoncd on the power Of cotton to
secure them foreign intervention. Their
inrigucs in Europe, beforehand were not
without some results. They did secure the
favor and influence of the British press
and they obtained also tAc flvoring wishes
Of influential public men, members uf Par
Lament, and others. a very small protest
would have suiliccd to secure the rocogui-
ton Of the Coniedcracy by Great Britain
and not improbably her armed Intervention
in their behalf The Mason and Sldcll af-
fair, II indeed, it was not planned before
hand Tor the purpose, as somc believe,
seemed TO be to them most fortunate
godscnd, nsuring war with Groat Britain,
and, ~ they imagined, their certain indie
pculcncc az the result. We can guess the
depth Of their chaSrin at the surrender, by
recalling their expressions Of rage at the
time, lhoir hopes Of foreign Intervention
have proved utterly ftllucous.
They mdcrralod tho power Of the Fed
craI Government, whose treasury thcy had
bauluuptcd whose army and navy they had
scattered, and many Of whose officers they
had corrupted. ltnever occurred to them
tnat in 30 short time navy could be i'm
proviscd. and AN army of COO 600 men could
be evoked. as it were by Il word. equipped,
and brought to the efficiency of regular
troops, aud animated too, 10y thcmostardoal
enthusiasm to put down an ignominous
rebellion But if they undcrrated the power
Of the Government, they did not fail to give
a sufficient coloring to their own strength

The Ohio Legislature is bound to immor-

THE PANIC IN NAslYILLE.

The account which the Nashville Banner
gives of the riotous proceedings and plum
dermgs by the mob in that city on the ap.
proach of our troops, and even while all
danger was distanC, affords strange com-
ment upon the boasted hcroism and chjvalry
OF that people. Is it panic-siricl,cu plum
derers like these that are ready to flight
for wives and children, homes and hearth
stones ?" The panic which see.s To have
pervaded that city was, perhaps, natural TO
apopulace who imagined thoy were 60 lie
invaded by horde OF cut-throat borhar-
ians'' They had been told So and believed
1t, and reckless of all considerations of
deeency, protection, or even compassion for
those that had 10 defense, behaved Ike
frantic mariners in a shipwreck, robbed
helpless women, plundcred stores seized
whatever sight or mOnentaI.v appetite
craved, as if doemhg their last hoir had
come. How pitiful the ignorance. aud how
beneath contempt the cowardice dia,layed
by the chiyalrous inLabitlnts Of Tie capital

Ne confess or surprise, us well as our
very sincere regret, that the paragraph IT,
ferred to should have wounded General KS
ssnsibilities. Any suspicion" such as that
to which he fears it msy expose him, would
certainly do him total injustice. He vas
casually met by the writer in The AIjatant
Generals Office, for the first time s:nce the
late battles, and while both were waiting, the
writer, Introducing the subject, requested Of
him an account; of the matter referred u in
the paragraph. T.is was g'rsn With evident
reluctance, ana not Until die request
wss repeated. Sc that, IL We stated
yesterday, tbs narrative was solicited" We
afterwards thought it well to publish 1t, as
q correct statement of an intel estiug incident
which had been somewhat variously repre-
sentsd, aud Of which we ours-i Yes had, il
consequence, made no previous mention.
1t was not thought necessary to consult
General P. on this, us the matter was already
in the papers, and his own TIE moat modest
version.
