III tie Southern people that they are dealing with
men determined to- succeed, who rise superior to
reverses, and who hare no such word as fail in
their vocabulary As an illustration in point, We
quote The following sentences from the New York
Evening Post enc Of the ablest and most decent
abolition papers published in Lincolndom.5 Says
The Post: = Almost any other people would have

ssoons expect to accomplish d III

She describes him as a child Of peculiarly bold
and c31l ageons traits. His maternal grandfather
was John Hunt, of Lexington, KY, whose name
he bears. Calvin Morgan moved to Lexington
when John was young, and this will account for a
statement we see made by the Atlanta s(G3a) Com

/ ANOTHER STEAMER ARRIVED THROUGH THE BLOCK
SADE--We have received from one of our speeicl
j correspondents the pleasant news that another
steamer reached one of our Atlantic ports on last
4 Friday night. She comes from Nassau, N. P,
and brings no arms or ammunition, but is very
heavily laden with other commodities not less es-
/ sential to the well being of our armies, and which
I are particularly scarce at this time. Indeed,
munitions of war are now almost as difficult to OBJ
tain in Nassau as in the Confederate States, owing
| to the constant demand which has existed for
/ of bringing them to the Southern market. -.5
Our correspondent, whose statements are trust
| worthy, also assures us that sailing vessels and
| small steamers continue to pass the blockade at
several unmentionable points, with undiminished
1 frequency. -.5 -

The Mormong.

The Northern papers are predicting
that their Government will soon have
some trouble with the Mormons. Brig
ham Young was recently inaugurated
Governor of Utah, and made character
istic speech, from which we extract few
sentences. 1t will be seen that Brigham
expects to have large family. The old
chap talks in this way:
We are not going TO be satisfied with 3
mere pre-emption right on thesoi! in this
territory. Should the Government grant
every head of family six hundred and
forty acres of land, and TO each wife ana
child their portion. as was done in Ore.
gon Territory. that would give to me and
my sons and daughters quite a scope q
country. But shall We be satisfied with
thatf No; am going to have larger
presumption than the Territory OF Utah.
In few years this territory will not con
tain my own posterity. In twenty year.
itor, now this spacious hall will not hold
my children, and in twenty years more
they will more than fill this territory, l
cannot put up with this small possession,
! It might do vary wall for men OF Small
families, say two or three wives and TWEEN
ty.fve or thirty little ones, but for ms
and mine it is not enough.

Tories in the gossth

In the days Of the American Revolu.
ton, Toryism was much more important
element of the struggle than at present
The Tories Of that day were larger in
numbers and more respectable in charac
ter than the Tories of this. They show
ga then,sei*es openly, and did not gl;d,
along like snakes in the grass. A mar
might have been a Tory then and have
made some pretensions to moral and DO.
litical principle. George the Third waged
no such war against humanity itself as is
waged against the South by Abraham
Lincoln, and the Southern man who
leagues with him is a traitor, not only to
mis- country, but to the human race.
We are not surprised to see it intimated
by Yankee scribe, that some of the
Unionists, as he calls them, in Norfolk,
are anxious tor the punishment of the
Secessionists. The number of these
traitors, we venture to say, is very small
and the quality inferior even to the guam.
tity. They are mostly imported from
other regions, though we 90 not deny
that there are renegade sons of the South
who make up in vindictiveness what the,
lack in all the qualities of respect and
influence. The fact that they have not
themselves been punished as they de.
serve, is the best reason in the world with
men of ignoble spirits for visiting ven.
geance upon others. Every community
has handful Of such men in it; but this
is no evidence of the real sentiments OF
the men in Norfolk, or any other city,
