British press and people. The London Times in an
editorial condemns JET. Davis message in the strong
est terms, concluding with this significant para

.: We confess we read with some impotence the
hvpocritical lamentations of Mr.. Davis, the President
Of a contederacy which may be said to live, aud
move, and have its being under the especial patron
age of Judge Lynch, over the violation of personal
liberty, the suppression of the freedom of the Press,
and the intimidation of the courts Of Justice, cOnse-
ouent in the North upon the civil war. These things,
which the South regards with contemptuous astonish-
ment. the war has not brought upon her, because
they were all domesticltei with her long before the
war. Nor can we sympathize with the lamentations
of men who have deliberately lit the torch of civil
war, over the cruelties which il has engendered, the
miseries which have fallen upon women AMI children,
and the attempt to raise a servile insurrectIon'
These things were for the consideration of those who
first lit the torch of civil discord. They knew tina;
civil war is ordinarily as much more dreadful than
common war rs common war Is than peace.
They who take 10 the sword, must not complain il
they fall by the sword; they whose feet are swift tC
shed blood, must not wonder if they should one day
stumble in their own. MIR. Davis seems 10 imply
that by ceasing TO grow cotton in the Southern
States will bring ruin on all the interests of foreign
countries dependent on that staple. On this point
let him undeceive himself. The failure of the cotton
supply of the Southern States is like the loss of 1
