Of this, too, in some form or other
they have got enough to allow of a

them men, all the effective troops now
serving in England might be landed at
New York without causing any per.
ceptible increase in the fabulous mum.

might send them three times as many
soldiers as we sent to Canada, with
out adding five per cent. to their forces

not even Napoleon, ever disposed Of

He has fully 650,Ooo troops now

and to spare for the time.-In no po-
litical or military operations have the
Federals ever been hampered by the
want ofmen or money, land if they had
to spend some time in turning citizens

ton, therefore, on behalf ofthe North,
would be simply Il nulIity. for no al
lance could add to its power or pro-
mote its ends.
The case Of the south, however, is
totally different. So singular is the
position of the Coniederates that.
though all the powers OF Europe could
do them no harm, the intervention of
any one of these powers might do

help of a single ally might treble their
strength in a moment. A little squad

power might dispatch to American
waters, would suffice to raise the
blockade for alonger or shorter period
and in that period the south must
turn its cotton into money and its
money into munitions of war.
1t is for the want Of these opportu-
mites that the Contederatcs have bee..

They contrlve even from their interi-

st. Augustine, Fla.

St. Augustine, Fla, recently occupied
by us) is a quaint, curious, dilapidated
old town, laid out in squares, the streets
being straight narrow, and unpaved, and
ovcrhung by the wooden balconies of the
gray stone houses that crowd on the
street on either side, as if they intended
to make further entertainments on the
narrow way, and finally crush it be-
tween their massive walls. The streets
are so narrow that it is impossible for
carriages to pass abreast, except at one
or two points. The gardens between
the houses are hidden from the streets
by thick walls of coqnina, and are bloom
ing with flowers of all kinds and green
with the leaves Of the pemegranate. the
delicate orange now in blossom, and the
dark broad fg tree. The mir is loaded
with the dreamy odor of the orange
blossom and the fragrance of the flowers
of the pride Of India. The climate now
is delightful. The air is as baImy and
genial as Juno day in New York.
and nature seems to have arraved ber-
self in her most charming attire to cap
tivate the stranger who has entered her
