Lacey estate. The conversation between
the opposing pickets is still kept up, and
though frequently talking ON a profane
tune, is both amusing and instructive, as
showing the condition ofthe rebels. ''YOu
have lost your best man." shouted one
this forenoon; Burnside is played out !;

reason to be tired Of the war" This

Indication OF Reaction nc the South
There have been articles in some of
the southern papers lately, Indicating
what they dared not distinctly express, a
conviction of the certainty that the federal
government would finally succeed in put
ting down the rebellion. The Richmond
Dispatch not long since had leader on
British Intervention, in which it made the
Yankee power very big thing. Its esti-
mate was evidently meant to impress the
southernpeOple, althOughostensibly aimed
at Great Britain. The Dispatch said =
"The world has never beheld such
armaments, such resources and such fgh-
ting as this contest has brought out on
both sides. The armies of the holy
alliance and of Napoleon sink into insig-
niicance beside them. Now, Yankeedom
is bitterly exercised against Great Britain
and could she subdue us, and become the
possessor of our resources in addition to
her own, she would take the very first
opportunity to make war on her How
that war would end is, we think, not in the
least doubtful, and it will not appear so
to any man who looks at what has been
lately done here. In the first place Great
Britain would lose Canada. Her fleets
would next be swept from the ocean.
Next, all the rest of her colonial posses
sions-West Indies, Australia, Indin-
would assuredly follow. Next, again, she
would inevitably lose Ireland and, lastly
she whould find her own soil invaded by
million of men. No man will think
these occurrences at all impossible, who
reflects that the old United States was
wont to double its population in twenty
three years, and that if these states ever
become reunited, they will, in forty years
Ia mere second in the lifetime Of nation
be inhabited by 100000 600 of Just
such people as are now waging this un-
heard of war. 1t is therefore so plainly
the interest of Great Britain to keep the
two sections separate, that every thinking
man on this side of the water has wonde-
red that, from the promptings of mere
Misunderstanding that she acts upon
none other than selfish principles-she
has permitted the war to assume such
gigantic proportions, and the parties en-,
gagged in it to ascertain the secret of their
terrible strength"
