The Yankees, II appears, are 80 certain OF
soon berg in possession Of Richmond, THAI
they ars already making preparations to sssrt
the old line Of boass from Washington "
Aqua Creek. Taess boats, having performed

Potomac, and in kidnapping the negroes, are
HOVE to DO transformed into messengers Ok

the shiSs, whisa are 1avagi,g eur coast, will
come t. eur harkors laden with the produces
Of Yankee industry, and 30 bAsk with the
tseminu riches of ca soil. Such ct least 10
their ex psstaisn, founded Ga that kno Wedge
of human nature, which is derived exclusive.
ly from the st.dy Of their owa character.
We Dc act pretend to doubt that there are
people in the South who would fulfill thess ex-
peosstions; but we are sure tnat few of thsR
are of native growth. Tnsrs may b men
from Nav EGG asi and fron other eeaRtriss
who wssll hail with rsptsrs the evsrtarsw
Of the Southern capital, but they are q mi
noriiy sven Of their own eosatrymss resident
Ia the Ssath. Tas great nsss Of them are
loyal; and ss ~ the native bern dislsyaiists
they are ~ few il number - deserve Hsn-
Gon. TsrJisH Il net in the South what il was
in the Revolution Pasu, the Tories were
powerful in RlAbsrs, and often respectable -
character and position. Nor did they esnessl
their TsryisA, fer tssy wers toe strong to have
their sentiments boldly, and net only that, bat
fssxht u il the broad light Of day. There
are few Tories in Virginia Whatever may
have been The livisisns Of sentiment q the
beginning Of shs var, the Yankee eondast Of
It has made u enc people. Such . thing ~
union with them 10 hereafter Al inpossibility.
II they conquer a, thsy nust hold a. BY the
slrsng arm, fer oil respect, all esnAAsAss, all
love has departed forever. They may fsrse
their hateful presence spon our people, they
r.sy perfume ear air with the balny aroma of
Goldfish, and make it musical with their nasal
istolaisns, bet they cannot rsorsats the
Cnion. They might - well attempt 70 cal
vssiss dead bsdy ists life. and make It kss-
form Ill the fsasions Of healthy hu usuity.
II viii snly b when he South il dead,
physically and morally, that they can become
mastsrs Of our country. Their empty vspor-
ipg and gassoaadisg pass by a. the idle wind.
They may take eur Gtiss. but on. innsnss
territory rsnsias, and net an inch Of 1t will 10
tksiu but the ground they stand on They
vessel plaafs Ito keel upon the waves, only
70 conquer that poEelon Of it which it touches,
and always 70 b ~ iS marcy when 1t riser il
its anger. Even their boastful msnases Of the
sapture OF Richmond ere no better founded
than their msnaoes uttered this time year
ago. They were jase - sxultsnt and conf

Army brought telegraph wires with them, 20
