xSDIATIoN.-The London Times, of Nov. IL,
thus comments upon the idea Of European inter-
vention in American affairs. The article ap-
peared before the French proposition was made
public:
What hope can We have that the Federal Gov
eminent would submit 70 q suspension of arms
by sea and land for six months. Such an armis.
tice would undoubtedly be very convenient to
the South, very convenient to England, and very
convenient to France. The South, relieved from
the blockade Of their coast, would be able to ex.
change their now valueless millions of cotton
bales for sugar, salt, tea, coffee, Calico broad
cloth, leather. and every other article not con-
trsband Of war, under the want Of which they
now 90 desperately suffer. England would be
able to set her mills to work. France would re.
cover her lost customers for her silks and wines.
and her Paris articles, and would also obtain
the cotton which she now buys through % at
fabulous prices. Both the mediators would find
their account in such Q mediation. But what
would the North get by it, To her it would be
request TO allow us to tie up her right arm, We
are to ask her to allow her enemies 70 reproyis-
ION themselves, and to restore their credit BY
the export OF their cotton, and We are to ask her
TO cut herself of from her most promising Aeld
OF operations for whole year. The season for
the employment of the Northern gunboats ID
abo!t to recommence; the spring will bring the
possibility OF \ second Invasion of the South
Yet We are TO ask the North, to forego their best
opportunities, and to remain inactive till the
heats OF summer again drive their armies north

sible to their guuboats. If the North is deter
mined to make peace, and is anxious ouly for an
excuse. then, indeed, this or any other mediation
would be feasible. But there is no evidence
that the struggle is yet arrived at that point.

parish there is probably large planter, the lead

to induce his neighbors-say from thirty to fifty
men-to arm themselves, each with his shot gun,

house, and to take his horse with him. AS soon

for swift horses are kept constantly running to give

woods or behind the levee-and when the vessel
approaches, she is sauted with volley Of musket-

fire can be returned, if the vessel attacked prove
to be gunboat, they are off, nobody on board

MemphIs Confes.ions.

The Lincoln hordes," "Vandals of
the North" etc, etc, as the Memphis
papers used to call our civil Union SOL
diers, seem to have surprised the Mem
phis folks by their conduct The AUa-
la'lcLe says
1t is due to frankness TO state that our
present rulers have acted with marke d
propriety since their arrival in our CITY.
They are orderly, disciplined and well
behayed-in this respect our people have
been much disappointed
The Aygps says;
Our people, unable to resist force to
force, quietly submit to a power at pres
ent too strong for them, and in doing SO
conduct themselves with that calm, quiet
dignity so BETTING their condition Thus
far the Federal commanders and soldiers
have conducted themselves in manner
unexceptionable TO the people SO long
as their present conduct is maintained,
there will be no clashes with the citizens.
A spirit Of riot never existed in Memphis,
aud can only be called into life by per-
secutiOns.
Thus we see that in every city and
district occupied by the Union troops,
they nobly refute by their actions and
department the calumnies Of the Rebel
leaders. They have proved that they
are indeed the protectors and defenders
of tho South, instead of being her in
yaders.

Twelve months ago the Southern rebels
were exulting in the hope and confident
expectation of a famine among the peo-
pie of the loyal partof the country. They
vauntingly proclaimed, that separated
from the South, the whole population Of
the North and East would absolutely
starve, And, when it was subsequently
announced that great Northern manuiac-
turing establishments had been shut up,
and that women and children in some
cities were unable 20 procure the necessa-
ries Of life, the annunciation was receiv-
ed by the rebels everywhere with shouts
that tends might have been ashamed 10
utter.
Time has brought its reyenges. Our
armies are pursuing their triumphant
march into the rebel Coniederacy, and
on all sides they behold the evidences Of
starvation of the most appalling des-
ton, Although a year Of war as one
would suppose must necessarily do much

States no eXultation over the Southern
suferings thus brought to view. No,
we hear only expressions Of sympathy
and Of determination 10 afford relief
as speedily as possible Our military
authorities in New Orleans, aided by the
generosity Of the people Of the Northern
cities, are feeding thousands Of destitute
rebels and their families, while Gen.
Halleck has sent to the principal cities in
his Department an earnest appeal for the
relief Of the starving thousands, almost
exclusively rebels, that he has found in
Mississippi and Alabama, and the appeal
is receiving a liberal and hearty re-
Spouse, When the rebels feel the deep
and bitter curse which they invoked up-
on the Union men, the latter yielding 10
the best feelings and principles Of human
nature, act the noble part Of angels Of
mercy and deliyerance.
Relief will yet have 10 be sent 10 every

The reason why the growth Of the
Southern States has been so slow in COM
parison with the Northern States is that
they lack the population necessary 10
devclope the wealth Of country. What
ever tends to keep population in unnatu-
raj restrictions is pernicious and burtful
to the State. The earth was made for
man to inhabit and cultivate. To hold
vast districts Of country in such condi-
ton that they cannot be made useful TO
mans subsistence and welfare, is a great
peryersion Of the order Of nature, Popu-
lation is the stimulus of exertion and
enterprise Hence the highest excellence
Of human invention is seen in thickly
populated countries We must have
population before we can prosper. We
need a sturdy, patient, industrious, loyal

Our lively little neighbor, the SeUenl

Our lively little neighbor, the Seventh
Brigade Journal of Columbia, says:
The Nashville Union is one of the bold
est and most outspokenU Union sheets pub
lished. II is deserving of the most liberal
support from the Union men of Tennes-
see, and we hope they will extend TO il
their patronage. We hope that Brother
MERCER will continue to pour into the
rebels broadside after broadside, until
they shall either be driven from the land,
or become good law abiding citizens.
But we hope and fervently pray that
no one will presist in unfolding the
wicked and desperate course of rebellion,
until loyal indignation and justice shall
compel him to fly the country. Oh no.
Let us all once more be a united harmO-
NOUS, fraternal people. The path of
destiny is now so broad and plain that
all can see, must see whittier it leads.
There is no power On earth that can dis
rupt our nation. It's integrity is as fixed
as the Oracles of Heaven. God is on the
side of justice and human liberty, and
all opposition will be Intellectual. Why
then should any one rebel at the voice Of
fate, and kick at that which is inevitable?
Is any one so egotistical as to fancy that
his opinions ought to override those of
the nation? Is not acquiescence wise
and honorable
