Rensrksble symptems Or RsaaAcn at
tho soath.
We recently published most extraordinary
article from the Richmond Examiner Of the
9th inst-a journal which has excelled all otbees
at the South in tho intensity Of It's hatred TO the
North and the violence Of its hostility 10 any
idea of reconstruction Of the Union. Now it
sings in = very different tone. The hopes it
cherished of foreign Intervention having been
dashed to earth il begins TO see that the Union,
after all, is " good for the South as the North,
and that il il England alone which has any real
interest in keeping North and South divided
and protracting tho war till both sections are
completely exhausted England II is true. is
in extreme need of cotton, and the distress and
srfferings of the people in consequence are very
great. But there is something her statesmen
desire more ardently. an that is the destrnc-
ton OF the great maritime and commercial rival
Of the British empire The Richmond paper
points TO the wonderful development Of military
power at the North and the Soath during tho
last eighteen months, exceeding all precedent
in modern times, "Iiad the North and South. ~
adds the rebel organ, CONTINUED as one nation,
there could scarcely have been any limits to the
achievements of their military power. We
could have overrun the continent, taken Cana
da in the teeth of combination of all the Euro
pean Powers, and crushed England alone as an
eggshell under the hammer" England. it is
argued. fears this, and nothing ia more con-
trary to her wishes and policy than that the
war should end in reuniting the North and
South, and consolidating and renewing in rival
ry TO her military Power which is now wasted
in internecne strife"
Could any arguments be more potent for re-
union than these. They are the worry argu-
mcnts we have urged in these columns at vari
ous times during the progress Of the war, and
the fact Of their adoption now by the leading
journal of the rebel capital is a remarkable
sign Of the times. 'Peridious Albion," with
the jugglery of a isnd, has kept the word of
promise 10 the ear of the rebellion, but has
broken it to the hope. Had it not been for the ex
pectations of foreign aid the insurgent leaders
would never have launched upon the dark sea
Of civil war. Now that these expectations are
frustrated they look to speedy reunion as the
anchor of hope in q tempestu0us ocean near to
lee shore. 1t is the rainbow in troubled
| sky, upon which the bleeding and PROSTATE
South looks with longing eyes, dn,med by
| tears The utteranCes of the Richmond paper
are the premonitory symptoms Of an outburst
which will result in az great counter revolu
ton in the rebelious States as that which has
been developed at the North by the recent
elections. And the time will soon come when
those in either section who stand in the way OF
the reunion will be denounced as enemies and
traitors to a common country. The South
ern people are heartily sick of tho
war; it is running and destroying them;
and greater ruin and destruction still
await them if they do not come under
the protecting shadow OF the American
| @gis 1t is no wonder, then that their desires
should begin to find expression in such bold
and outspoken journals as the Richmond Era-
miner. The promises Of their leaders have
failed them as badly as the promises Of England
and France. They can now see no other end
| to the war than submission to the legitimate
and constitutional authority Of the national 60
| vernment.
The elections hold out to them a sue guaran
tee that their interests will be protected in the
letter and spirit Of the solemn league and cove
nant made by our fathers, and that their only
safety is In the ark Of that covenant-the Union
Of the States. They must now feel convinced
Of their folly in severing by force their con-
nection with the North, whose great conserva-
tive element would have amply protected them
| from the meditated wrong of the revolutionary
sbolitionists whose threats to harm them or
medde with their domestic institutions would
have been as the idle wind. Let them then, lay
down their arms at once and take shelter in the
sanctuary Of freedom on which they have turn
| ed their backs. Lot them lay their hands upon
the sacred altar, and their security will be in
violable. But what they do let them do quick
| ly. For thus will the effi,sion Of more blood be
prevented, and the sboitionists be wOfull disap-
pointed in the sole object for which they desire
to see the war continued The fate of the
Southern people is in their own hands. Let
| them he true to themselves, and they will be
equally true to their country and to God

| GOVERNOR VANCE, OF NoRIH CAROLINA RAM
rANr.-President Lincoln's Military Governor OF
| North Carolina, at Newbern having proposed q
sort Of peace conference with his old line whig
| friend Vance, the newly elected Governor o.
| the State under the rebel Confederate govern
ment, we had some hopes Of favorable re-
| sponse. But Governor Vance declines con-
ference, writes in q defiant tone that North
Carolina will fight TO the last drop Of blood,
and refers Governor Stanly, II he has any pro-
position to make 10 treat directly with the Con-

Vance thus appears somewhat Jealous In his
loyalty TO those authorities, inasmuch as he was
