The taking of New O.leaus aud other riiisi

were great disasters to us, aud were hailed D.,
them as grand achievements, hastsi ing on m,

The southern people are burning up every
bag Oi cotton which lanke5 power may rez IA
or control; whilst they are planting no more
cotton, for the N xt year. than their own con
sumption will require Nor viii they plant
another crop as long AZ this war shall last

stopped in some way, or sutf-r by the famine cf
their people, as mach ~ the des0latiOn O! war
occasions TO Us. Here then age two grra: Incl
dental results which the capture Of Gu. cities
have produced, more fatal perhaps to ne final
success Of the Yankees in suljlgating Us than
ii they hal kept 10 the sea, and let ou. cities
alone.
II European nations attempt to intervene TO
stop the war, they must fist, wa presume, ap-

Ihey are the aggTessOrs. They are, numerically,
lhe stronger power. Ii w,il DO useless for them

Of the government OF the United States Ii We
vanquish The Yankees in the great battle which
is daily expecte TO come off in Virgins the in
eTYontion OF Europ an nations may be treated
by them with c.y.ity. They may shon realize
she fact that they cannot conquer US and may
endeavor 70 uso these nations to obtain com
merc:al terms with the Contederats States, which
may save them from utter ruin.
Ii they succeed in any such efforts It will b.
our fault In it-ei! if met by pTope- wisdom and
decision, tOreisu intervention can do us no
harm We have the advantage Ia all II, gpis-
tions, because we hold the c cJtton. The same
rauSe which induces foreign nations to nte, fsro
to stop the war y bids thtir quarrpIling with US
But not so with ihe GaI KEGS. Ii they continue
either 10 LO.d their own, Or to yguquiih Us in
this great bsts,r, tbeiI arrogance will barely

Interference On their part, OF any kind, under
such C!rcUm tauces, must, therefore, produce
aIieuali N and collision with our Yankee fees
whilst the recollection Of our own folly, in b. ing
cheated by Yankee lies into q naiyer Of their
rights, by which the sufferings they encounter
have been TT jduced, must emb.ttcr their feelings
aud increase their hate. Ii spyea's 10 Us,
therefore that the late successes Of cur enemies,
in Influences. both in the Confederate States and
on European uaions, are not unmitigatnd evils
