The Northern papers furnish extracts from
the Richmond papers to the 18th inst:
The Richmond Dispatch Of the 18th has an
editorial which takes the ground that it is use
less for the confederacy to expect European in
lervention now, because Of the we'll known sell
ishness Of England who never does anything
Except trorl motives of interest, and it is not
low her interest TO recognize the contederacy
The writer then enlarges on the prospective
power Of the United States, provided they
should finally secure, besides their own re-
sources, those Of the Southern States The
British government, he says, will not allow so
formidable a power to grow up on this side of
the water, and therefore will eventually inter-
tere.
A telegram III the Richmond Dispatch, Of
the 18th inst, dated Chattanooga, Nov. 18th,
says: Fresh relnforcements are reported at

The nation seems TO have aroused
itself and advanced at least one mighty
stride towards its high duty. The To-
thargy has been long and dangerous
il came frigbtfully near being fatal. But
the people, the masses in the loyal
States, those who had the real interest
Of the Union at heart, have taken the
matter ia hand and have fought good
eight, and behold the result; the nation
il redeemed-tbe rule Of abolition fan.
atheism has passed away as the frost 10
banished by the rays Of the morning
sun. Let the hearts of the people be
glad, for the foe Of the constitution has
been routed with great daughter.
1t is . mighty step forward to the
preservation Of the Union. 1t has been
assailed many months, and q republican
administration has been unequal to the
task OF putting it down. How anxious
~ have the people watched his manage
msnt, how they have hoped aud prayed
that he might take the right course and
use the proper means whereby he might
crush the rebellion and restore the coun-
try to its legitimate position. Have they
been disappointed ? Deny it, who can !:
1t is stamped SO broadly and 40 plainly
that he who runs may read. Sickencd,
tired outraged at such imbecility,such
unwarrantable dallying, snch unconstitu-
tional acts, the people have decided
against this administration. One year
and half spent in taking Richmond,
and the forces further from that point
than they we're at the start! That is
not the way in which democratic ad.
ministrations carry on warfare. Give
the job to democratic administration,
and in the language of John NsnBuren,
Mt Tammany Hall, Richmond will fall
in sixty days. That party fights With
the constitution In one hand and the
sword in the other, and the enemy must
either suocumb TO the former or reap
bloody consequences from the latter.
The present administration has adopted
another style OF warfare. The abolition
creed has been used in the place OF the
Constitution. The rebels have been al
lowed to choose between that creed and
the sword. They chose the latter and
have proven themselves equal to the en-
Urgency.
Let US take courage in the signs OF
the times. Light is breaking, and the
hope for final restoration of the Union
is gaining every day, though it is prob.
able that it will not be done under this
administration, unless the President
needs tho warning, purges his cabinet OF
fanatics, turns his back upon the radi-
Gals aud draws around such men for ad-
visers as love the constitution better
than party power. This may not be,
bn, sooner or later this class Of men
mW have the control of the government
and the war. The first step has been
taken, and the government will not turn
back.
