which has hitherto been believed TO be in!

Tho Philadelphia Inquirer has accounts
from New Orleans, by gentleman from
New Orleans, of intelligence and character
justreturncd, which indicate tile real state
OF affairs Notwithstanding the most
active exertfons, the slaves are beginning
to comprehend the cause Of the war, and
the part that their owners have assigned TO
them in their new form of government.
There have been numerous slave conspira.
cies aud insurrections in various parts of
the South and many of the conspirators
have been hung. The police regulations
are rigid aud Tigiiant; but, notWithstand-
ing them, the greatest npprehensions pre-
vail among the rejecting and intelligent
with regard to theterrors OF slave rising.
The operations of the confiscation act arc
attended with the greatest difficulty and
dissatisfaction. A thousand questions
are raised for the courts, on points Of the
law, which is vague and loose in its terms.
Much property has been seized and pro-
tests entered against the seizure. The
government and its.agents show no mercy
to those even who claim to be entitled to
consideration by reason of their public
services. In many cases the law has op-
erated to the ruin Of the strong Southern
men and secessioifsts. The greatest se-
crecyprevails with regard to the operations
of the confederate treasury, no report ever
being made or even asked for. The only
limit to the issues Of its promises to pay
is the capacity to print and sign them.-
Notwithstanding this unlimited scope of
issue tue government owes large sums TO
contractors and others engaged in opera.

The Religious Herald, u Baptist paper,
published ut Richmond, Va, in calm and
deliberate survey Of our Southern rebel
lion, says that the responsible. parties in
its management have made at least eight
great blunders, nnd thus enumerates them:
"In firing upon Fort Sumter. In believ
ing that there would be divided North
and an ap+thetic Federal GoYernment.-
In believing thattheY would have the hear
~ sympathies of Europe. In believing
that the bonds Of their confederacy would
readily be taken in Europe. In believing.
that the military power Of the North would
be directed in crusade against slavery
rather than employed for the overthrow Of
treason and the establishment of the Union
and the Constitution. In believing that
Northern courage and physique were no
match for Southern, or that in battle one
Sontherner equalled Eve Yankees. In be-
lieying that the flag of the cotton oligar-
chy would wave above the capital at
Washington, and the roll of slaves be cali
ed on Bunker, Hill, In believing that the
faucied omnipotence of cotton would dom
mate the commerce of the world"
