the inhuman calculation of her selfish i olts
from every drop Of bloodn "The South under

science and Pharisaical precision there
turks devilish purpose" True as Gospel
this, but what pity the chief conspirators
sooner make this important discovery. Had
they not depended upon king Cotton" and
free trade to bring England to their rescue
they would not have followed the jack-o' Ian
tern of South Carolina into the morass of this
rebellion, but would have compelled her to
come back and wait . little longer.
Next, it will be remarked that, East and
West, inland and along the seaboard the
leading oracles of the rebellion cannot disguise
their fears Of our iron-clad gunboats. These
apprehensions, too, are we'll founded; for we
predict that the work of our navy at Hatteras
Inlet, Roanoke Island, Elizabeth City, Port
Royal, Fort Macon, Pulaski, Hampton Roads,
Forts Henry and Donelson, Island No. 10, Mem
phis, Pensacola, New Orleans and Galveston
will be eclipsed in this campaign, in the reduc
tion of the remaining seacoast and river
strongholds Of the rebellion. Beauregard, at
Charleston, seems to be impressed with the con-
viction that he is to be called to an early reck-
oning for he has made his arrangements for
The removal of the entire population OF Charles.
Ton, as if he had resolved, in the last extre-
nifty, to reduce the city to ashes. What the
cause of the rebellion will gain by such an act
of savage ferocity we cannot divine but that
Beauregard will be compelled to choose be.
tween the evacuation, the surrender or the de.
struction Of the city in his charge, and before
many months are over, Is by no means impro-
bable.
The Richmond Wh;g, in contemplating the
Northern draft, which is swelling the Union
army on every side, while the conscription in
the rebellious States seems to have exhausted
their fighting materials, says prophetically =
!" We are about to be put to the greatest trial
we have yet encountered. If we are ready at
all points, and succeed in repelling the enemy,
it will probably be his final effort. If he breaks
our defences and makes his way into the inte-
rior, enforcing emancipation as he advances, he
will do incalculable mischief" No doubt
Of it; but, then all this anticipated mischief may
be easily avoided. The State of Virginia. for
example, by the simple act of submission to the
Union, may secure to her people not only their
slave property, but its protection under the
shelter Of the federal constitution, against all
enemies. This is the saving clause of Presi-
dent Lincoln's emancipation manifesto. While
he warns the rebellious States Of the extreme
dangers of continued resistance beyond the
lst Of January. he invites them to the protec-
ton, meantime, of the constitution, including
their system of African slavery.
Let General Burnside, then, push forward
and defeat and disperse the rebel Army Of Vir-
ginia and move into Richmond, and the rebel
lion will speedily fall to pieces. The folly Of
further resistance to the overwhelming land
and naval forces of the Union will be made
manifest to the people Of the rebellious States
from Virginia to Texas, and their security in
the Union, as indicated in the late elections Of
the North, will settle the question Desperate
men may resolve upon the most desperate ex-
tremities of resistance; but there are limits to
human endurance in the South, as there are
everywhere else, and these limits will be re-
cognized with the defeat of the rebel army Of
Virginia.
