REBEL PAPERS.
We have lying before US copy of the
Mobile Advertiser and Register of May IS,
1862, and the Memphis Avalanche Of May
2lst. They are both printed on half sheets,
and their tout ensemble is indicative of the
poverty of the Southern Confsderacy. They
are intensely Secesh. The leading editorial
article in the Mobile Advertiser discusses
" The Prospect" in rather hopeful strain
of remark. But it is little singular, and
not at all complimentary TO Vallandigham
& Co., that the editor asserts the existence
of" general disgust of the war" and "wide-
spread but latent opposition" thereto, on the
part Of" strong minority of the masses" in
the Northern States. 1t says that "a suf.
icient number of the Black Republicans
in Congress will be apt to take the altered
hue of their constituency, who will lay
them on the shelf unless they do, cutting
them of forever from the public crib at
which they have waxed fat. The deser-
ton of suffcien, number of its support
ers to the opposition ranks will leave Lin
coins administration without legislative
bottom to stand on, and zoe may hope for
{" favorable results" The Editor continues:
!" But so long as the Administration is sus-
tanned in Congress, so long, there is reason
to fear, that besotted Government ,ciu per-
sist in waging the oar on the largest scale in
its po,oer, in defiance to the wishes of the
majority of the people, in the face of ad-
verses, and regardless of the disapprobation
of the world" No higher common
dation Of the loyalty OF the Republi-
can party and the loyal Democracy OF
the North could be spoken than is con-
tanned in the above extracts. The 4" favor.

, independence of the Southern Confederacy !
So it seems that Vallandigham & Co.'S efforts

, not by loyal men. Here is crumb of COM
fort for them to gobble up. But the Regis
q ter is not disposed to rely wholly upon its
Northern allies. 1t says that the suppression
generally prevails that il the Confederate

the Register will be gratifed by victory

The avalanche is taken up wholly in the
l. discussion of local elections. 1t gloats over
