rior officers, as that would please them
tco we'll Also never to do anything

The Hour OF TRIAL. A the Louis
vile Courier truly remarks, the day cf
trial las come. Ia few days--perhaps
sooner-thc gathered hosts II the Usur-
per and De<pot are moving forward from
the Atlautic tp the Mississippi Nothing
but the special iaterpositiou of Almighty
God can avert the horrible consequences
Of great battles fought. Soon the boom
IF cannon will pass from hilltop to hill
top along the vast line Of military opera
tions; and the rattle Of musketry, the
clash cf bayonets, the -hrieks of the
wounded and the groans Of the dying, the
shouts of the victors and the curses of the
vauqui>hed, and high above all the vail
If the widows and the cry Of orphans,
will fill the intervening valleys; and be the
result what it may, the land will be cloth
ed in gloom, covered with des late homes
.nd filed witt. suffering
This IS the day Of trial RI the grand
armies now being presses forward by the
enemy be beaten, the war will be at an
end-another effort to crush out the South
will not be made. Ii one or mere of them
shall be successful. the contest will be re-
newed with redoubled fury every where,
new .itc will be given to the war, and new
scenes Of blood will burst upon the start
led vi>vn. The disaster at Drainsville
aud the rerul,e Of Criitenden admouish
us that the conflict must be bloody and
desperate, that at many pl,ces it will be
/ doubtful, and that We should be prepared
for reverses and at least partial defeats.
I The great strategic positions occupiec
| by the Confederate Generals c1n never be
taken By the enemy. Bowling Green, Go
\ lnmbu- aud Mana sas We believe can de-
| iy the numbers, skill, and resources Of the
/ Nurh, now and forever. But there ar,
intervening points, important, but no
vital, where our iefeuses are weak, and
our means of resistance inadequate; and
at these, the Federals may achieve such
successes as will give encouragement to
! the people of their section, sustain the
Administration for . time and stimulate
their Generals to renewed Efforts 10 bind
upon their brows the laurels Of victory.
There is bloody work to be done. Let
none under estimate its Importance or 1t,
difficulties. Let every heart be steelet
ard every muscle set; for the danger is a
haud, the day Of trial IS upon us, and W
must BE- worthy of the cause We have es
poused, or pay tie penalty 10 the horror
Vi prolonged contest brought nearer Il
our homes.

su- TIE St. Loui. Republican says;
1--WE out here, are little amused by the
san nguiue expectations We see expressed IN
not few Journals of rather hyPoborean
locality, about large crops aud staple
Weld in the article Of cotton 80 far north
a. southern Illinois aud Missouri. No
doubt cotton has been raised IN both
States, and can be again. There Is
small section of Missouri, and smaller
one iu Illinois, where, possibly, cotton
might be grown for some other use than
domestic consumption. Cotton was In
former years. raised as far north as the
Missouri river; and if It continues much
longer to sell at forty cents pound, Il
will be raised again there for the use OF
the good housewife. But % most parts
of either-in all but limited localities
and choice situations as to soil and expo

any such yield, rs to amount or fteadi-

THL STONE FLEET BLocKADH.-Ths
London Times reiterates its deuunciatioa
Of the stone blockade of Charleston har-
Dor, and says, among the crimes -hich
have disgraced the history Of mankind, IL
would be difficult to 6ud one mors stroci-
GUS than this. Even the fierce tribes Of
the desert will not destroy the we'll which
gives life to the enemy. The Times pre-
tests ia the strongest terms against such
proceedings, and asserts that no bellige-
rent has the right t. resort to srch q var
fare.
The Paris Monileur VI the llth says
that feeling Of profound regres and in
dignation has been aroused iu Eagland as
we'll as in Franc. by the vindictive acs Of
destroying the port of Charleston.
