Mr.. Clay then draws terrible picture OF our
debt and bankruptcy, says we can never conquer
and swears that he viii never draw Il sword t.
fight for the Union as il was aud the Constitution

Southern cOnfeicracy at once and stop the effu
sion OF blood by sending him a. an ambassador
To JEFF Davis. This is extraordinary language
for our ex Minister 20 Russia aud a candidate foI
the office of MliOr General. We hope Alr. Sew

to arm the negroes and desolaie the South 10
make solitude aud call it peace" and this he
does upon the very heels OF the news from Hilton
Head that Hunters negro brigade is all utter
failure and Is broken up-One half of the regi-
ment organized having deserted. and Col. FesSen-
den having come home in the Arago.
