SOUTHERN CUSTOMERS.
Saratoga, Newport, Na1lant.

It has always heen said that without South
erp customers our leading city hotels, and all
the public, interior, watering places would be
deserted. The southern rebellion, it was
earlY declared, would dry up Saratoga and
Newport, restore Mount Washington to the
bears and foxes, and leave Nahant exclusively
to the fishmongers. We have heard this talk
SO long that TIE have been more than half iu-
clined, ourselves, to believe it.
We have denounced Southern slavery, but
have winked at Southern extrayagance. We
have relied upon the North for ! large capital
stock OF shrewdness and business talent, and
upon the South for customers to give such
talent healthy action" We don't believe
in that lazy fraternity Of F. F. VS. vino swarm
all over the South, but we do believe in
making money out Of the rich and the extrav-
agant, the lame and the lazy, everywhere.
Such is poor human natu1e-not confined ex-
c1usively to Yankeedom.
What are the facts, NOW, about our hotels
and watering places? Those who travel know
that there never vas time when all were
more crowded. There may be few cxcep'
tions. but as general rule they arc prosper,
irg, now, as never before. The past year has
been hard one for some Of them, but they
arc now doing business, with a rush, At remu
e1ative rates. The North can take care O.
itself. We can live, breathe, and have pros
pe1d1s commercial being, independent Of cot
tor chiva1ry, at homeor abroad, plain or m1n
ufactu1ed. Ancefortn let us ttho1d thes

The commissioned officers Of the first bat

August, 1862, to ta6e iuto consideration what
action will be necessary to pay suitable re-

called to the chair, and briefly explained the

of the officers Of this battalion. The commit

our cause is lost. The people are rca:Y
to clothe the arm of the government with
power which will with resistless strength
beat down,this rebellion; and, in fact, they
believed that they had done 80, for they
have given all that the government asked,
and in their enthusiastic loyalty offered
much more, but the strong arm hangs idly
lifted in the air; or strikes as one that
beats the air; or tries only to ward off
blows, when it should be dealing its
heaviest.
: Let no man, however, be alarmed, or
lose faith in our final victory. Even in
this hour Of gloom and disaster, when
blunde1ing has paralyzed our force, and
breathed new life into the foe; when all
the hills and valleys of the South seem
living and moving with armed traitors
though Tennessee be slipping from our
grasp, and Kentucky becoming only q
good position from which the rebels can
threaten Ohio and Illinois; though Vr-
ginia be sending forth her rebel anaconda

and Maryland; and though fear aud trcm-
bling have seized men everywhere, never.
thclcss, there is no ground for despair: We
can conquer. this rebellion, and we will
save the Union. And We shall do both
just so soon as we have capable leaders
The only hope that is mere folly, is tc
| hope for success under such management
as We have had; and no despair can be
better grounded, than an utter despair O
any success until such management has
ceased forever.

struction in his attempt to get between the
army Of Virginia aud the Potomac if Pope was
let alone. His dispatch had not then been re-
ceiVed, but it has Confirmed the military judy
ment, and the continued cannonade he.rd
from Alexandria in the direction Of the battle
field Of Centreville, all day yesterday, aud !
part Of to-day, would iudicate that the Geld Of
Bull Run was being avenged at lass By the
overthrow Of the 5esperate couspirator5.
1t Is known now, that If by any possible
chance the rebels should ever get to Washtug-
ton, 1t is their design to reduce Ii. city to
ashes: Iltte7ado est Carthage is their metto,
and SOW it with salt. This is the logical Sc
0uence Of their var against human liberty,
ond Us they would do with every tree St4ts
city il they we're able. The contemplation Of
their reaching Washington, even by raid,
vas oy NO means comfortable up to last even
ing, and the continuous firing heard at Alex
apdria since, alarmed the timid not little;
but the public confidence in Gen. Pope did
not permit the prevalence of any extended
1sarS. E Ihe government had no apprehenslons
Of the result.
The campaign Of the Peninsula, its frighttul
and needless loss of human life, its enormous
expenditure Of treasure, its utter and humili-
ating failure, are not interdicted topics in
official circles at the seat Of government
This seems to be healshtul Indication that
such another blunder will not be permitted
aGalu. 11OuHQ 2nCLlfr token OF returning
health, and that is, public men Of all grades
are not afraid to discuss the propriety Of ex-
tiDgushing slavery by the sword arm of the
government, and the sentiment in favor OF its
imme diately being done is very general. Tae
presence Of the enemy over the river il suca
uncomfortable proximity has no doubt tended
to inspire this sentiment aud to quicken it
into life.
t is believed that an invasion of the dis.
t1ict Of Columbia BY the rebels ia force, and
IN spite Of federal resistance, would result 10
the Reinstatement and deportation of all the
colored people they could catch This pros
pect aronses no little anxiety amongst these
| oppressed people, and they are keenly alive to

| hands Of the enemy. They trust largely il
Pope.
1eaw enough to induce the belief that thI
vigorous execution of the confscation- -eman
cipation Law is not far distant in the fasure
The act gives the president large discretion
in the premises, and events and public opinion

Thinking that you and your renders feel q
deep interest in the prospects and success Of
our most loyal and efficient friends Of the

you ard your readers Of the prospects Of our
very efficient and widely known representa-
tive, Schuyler Colfax.

tg August eth, at Hobart, where he had q
larger audience than he ever had before. So
at Hebron-the people filling 8 large church

Point, his speeches we're delivered from
stands prepared in the groves-the audiences
unexpectedly large, and everywhere great
enthusiasm and unanimitY was manifested.
all Union Democrats, and many others whose
loyalty I have heard questioned, came out
voluntarily and enthusiastically for him; and
heard one, whom thought would oppose
him if anybody did, defending his positions
against Misrepresentation. All loyal men and
women too are unanimous in their expressions
that Coliax mast he reelected.
The election returns will show that the

There is one thing about the presidentllet-

those who are familiar with the ambition Of

No TAXES IN DIXIE.

The only measures recommended by
JEFF Davis to his Shareholder Congress,
were-frst, an extension of the conscrip-
ton to force all men fit to bear arms be-
tween the ages Of thirty-fve and fifty into
the ranks; second, fresh issue of treas
ury notes. The former conscription took
all men between eighteen and thirty-ive,
and produced, with those who had pre-
viously volunteered, about 100000 men.
The present CONSUMPTION, it is estimated,
will furnish $4,000. These two drafts ex-
haust the resources Of the rebels in
men. Davis in his message, makes no
mention Of the number Of conscripts and
volunteers he has put in the field. The
Richmond papers estimate the present con-
fcderate army at 350, 600 men, which is prob
ably not arfrom the truth. Davis neglects
to state the amount Of Treasury Notes al
ready issued-that is studiously concealed; Z;
but report says that four hundred millions
have been put out He assures his dupes that
lis Treasury notes can not deprcciate, be-
cause they are convertible into eight per
cent bonds. But the interest on those
bonds is payable in Confederate notes.
The interest on United States bonds is
payable in gold, and by this means alone
can convertible Treasury notes be main
tained at values that will enable them to
circulate as money, for any length Of time
jeff Davis confederate shirplasters ere
not worth thirty-three cents on the dollar
in gold in any part Of secessia, and after
the new batch is set aaoat, a gold dollar
will rot be exchanged for ten dollar note.
It is noticeable that Davis recommends
the 1eyylDg Of no tax upon the Confeder-
ates. Hc orders sweeping conscription
and extends martial law throughout Lis
dominions; but does not venture to tax
his subjects. The rebellion is supported
by generous confidence, and shinp1asters
convertible into bonds, the interest on
| which is paid by fresh issues Of shinplas
tcrs; but not a dollar Of taxation does hi
and lis associates venture to levy.
must be the confident belief Of the rebe
leaders that the war is not to last mucl
longer, and that the United States will sue
succeed in conquering them, or give up tn
job in despair and grant their independ

essary to resort to taxation until the resul
Of the contest is ascertained- -believin
that they eau kite along until the issue c
the struggle is revealed. If they fail, tas
