Rebel Discomfort.

W. noticed recently che action Of Gov.
Clark Of North CAROLINE 10 asserting the iu-
dependent sovereignty of that state, and en-
paadcalIy .nubbjng jeff Davis and his bogus
Government Tai. conduct Of North Carolina
is hardly less significant than a recent message
Of GOV Rector Of Arkansas, in which the fol-
lowing passage occurs
. 1t was for liberty she (Arkansas) struck,
and not for sabOrdlnatl0n 10 any created se3un

our armies advance and win new victories, the
Conicderacy viii 90 to pieces Of its own Inherent
weakness The rebel States are ALREADY quar-
reing bitterly among themselves, nduleing
freely in examinations and determinations, and
nothing but some great success-which tisoow
utterly impossible for them to expec;-can re-
store them to any harmony or conference. When
thieves and robbers, in their desperation, get to
quarreling among themselves justice is pretty
sure to oyertuke them speedily +; and the traitor
thieves and robbers at the South cannot expect
to be an exception to the general rule.
