States till as late as September last. They
undertake the defense Of the rebellion, and
cudoavor to show its superiority in resources,
earnestness, the military and political skill Of
its leaders, and its general principle. The
authors write with so much zeal, that the sus-
picion has more than once crossed our mind,
that they were native Confedorates. They
take up the subject con amore, and leave it
with reluctance, as If they had not fully es-
tabhshed a case in which their hearts were
engaged. If we may believe them, the South
has all the patriotism, self-denial resolution
and unity, aud the North none. The rebel
lion is holy attempt to vindioate liberty and
the rights Of the people, and the Govern
ment is trying to overthrow the Constitution
and popular freedom. The South is Para

heaven upon earth, while the North is dis
tracted aud divided and yainly seeking 10 free
itself from the faugs Of half dozen would-be
military dictators The Southern newspapers
are paragons Of modesty and truth and loyal
ty to the Conlederacy, while the Northern
papers are quarrelling and fighting with each
other over the ruins Of the country. In the
South every body is free to express their
opinions, but in the North the Bastilc has

DEATH OF JUDGE BARRoN.-The Chicago
Tribune Of the 9th inst, gives the particulars
Of the railroad accident by which Judge Bar
ron lost his life. The accident, it seems,
was caused by the collision of two trains
near Kcnwood station, a short distance from
Hydeparke, H., where an express train, in
rounding curve, ran into the rear OF another
train on which Judge Barron was a pussen-
ger and the only person killed,-seven or
eight others being wounded, though none SO
severely but they will recover. The particu-
lars Of the accident are given by the Tribune
as follows:
" The locomotive crashed into the rear car
of the forward train, thus erowding together
the rear car and the baggage car, closing them
together like the slide of a telescope, with a
fearful smash. The alarm was sounded but
f there was little time for escape. Several
Jumped from the train and were uninjured. 49,
Among others in the car was Judge Barron
who was sitting near the front end with an
= other gentleman.
, His companion eaped to the front and es-
capped unhurt This was of course done in a
seconds space, almost, and the gentleman
says as he landed upon the earth, be became
suddenly conscious that his companion had
