TIE END OF THE UNION.


The London Evening Standard, rsmaskng on the
bIoody batle on James Island near Charleston, and
the probable final capture Of that city, closes its article
as follows:
The able military leaders of the Southern
movement appear to have comprised. how
ever reluctantly, the gradual surrender Of
the whole of the seaboard to the naval
forces of the enemy. This enemy no soon |
or enters into possession than he seconds, in
truculent and needless manner, the plans Of
the Southern chieftains. IL to render re-
union impossible and compromise hateful, to
perpetuate secession, and erect durable
nationality on basis OF undying hatred Of
everything that is North, be the aim and
purpose Of the Confederates, then Davis and
Beauregard second this purpose but weakly
in comparison with General Butler and the
Congress at Washington.
The humanity insult offered to the women
Of New Orleans--an outrage which has earn
ed for Butler the execration of every man
and woman in Europeans gained him
notoriety which he must not mistake tor
fame, a tribute Of grooming and hissingin an
assembly Of English youth, and certain fiat
tering comparisons with Haynau and Mana
Sahib. This disgusting proclamation, cap
ped as il has been by such acts Of barbarity
as the hanging of a poor man who pulled
down Federal flag, has settled the fate of
New Orleans. There is an end Of the Union
forever in the crescent city.
Towards the people of Charleston the
people Of New York feel far more yindic-
tive than towards the poor half-creoles OF
Louisiana We may expect peadent ere
long to the atrocities OF Butler. The blood
less capture of Sumter, which inaugurated
this yindictiYe war the first hosting of the
secession FLAG of the seven stars-these were
the deeds of the hot-headed people OF the
capitol of South Carolina. We fear they
may be bitterly avenged. The New York.
ers never speak of Charleston without {
tempest of big words and fearful denancia
tions. The Inhabitants of this unfortunat,
city, should it fall into the hands Of tn,
North, will have to pass through FIRE o
persecution. Is ii supposed that the rem
nant win survive to be good citizens of tn
American Union, which treats them in S
paternal mannerf Such a victory Of tht
North would be driving another nail into tn
coffin Of the extinct republic of the Unite
States.
To-day is the fourth Of July. With th
anniversary of American independence ma
be dated also the end Of the spring campaig
which was intended to repair the fortunes 9
the shattered fabric which Washington an
his friends founded in doubt and hope. b
this time Charleston has fallen, or the seig

Perhaps never was the commander Of an

that with the mass Of the Southern people
