on their geographical and political selfsuf6cien- cy. This plea is now destroyed. t $ no lo''- ger possible to attempt aay jst fcatsoa cf the r. bellion, or to urge its Teeogaition on this ground
 The revolted States never were, as they claimed to be, a great and powerful Confederation, and they have now lost all chance of ever gaining such position. But with the chosen frontier lines and the strongest military positions of the new state in the hands of the North, such Q claim becomes irrelevant and even absurd. With the Mississippi and it's tributaries at the com. mand of the North, what chance would any southern government have of independent polit-
 ical action, what means of permanent or efficient
 seif.defence? No doubt the rebel forces might
 as their friends in this country have of late so
 often suggested, retire into the interior and car
 ry on guerilla warfare, but this would not ma- terially affect the result It is the merest delu- sion. in the world to imagine that any number of guerilla bands scattered amongst the iuaeces- sibie swamps of the interior would be of any avail to defend the independence or maintain the integrity ofthe Confederation. The North ,could be under no necessity of tollosoing the grand a,- ny of Ae So,ah fiit should break a,p i,to !g,sei rilla 6ands aed attempt Gny such ersatic inore,
 ae,tsa sSo'long as the North commands the sea, holds the great river frontier of the West, and occupies the strongest military positions in the revolted states, the South is virtually subdu ed. and all it's prstended claims founded onaex- tent of territory and successful selfdefence are scattered to the winds." .--.. g..

T THE CAPTURE OF NEW ORLEANS.

srE L3i aFT THE CAPTUhE OF NEW ORLEANS. j5 rE
 i3 The London Times, of course, leudeavors to depreciate the gallantry and skill displayed in the capture of New Orleans and to do this most efectually, it makes this false assertion
 In the strange historyiof the capture of New Orleans, one incident alone appears as yet both certain and notable. The city was approached by the river, and the passage of the river was defended by forts. IiIhe tsdera1s ho,oerer, had some ironplated gunboats, and these gsAsboats set the forts ct defance, steamed by the Confederate 6atteries, and presently held the town at their mercy, without having experienced any material hindrance or any considerable loss.'
 Now, it is well known that Farragut had non e but wooden ships and not long ago the Times itself sneered at American iron-clad ships, as not capable of going to sea. How, then, did we get iron clad gunbqats to the Mississippi? The london Nesos Q. the 18th, however, has a more just appreciation of what is notable in that sue
 cess of our arms, It says:E s4s.. g,s 7. off
 The direct political results of this great sne- cess are, however, an,important, The possess
 ion of the Mississippi settles at once, and in the
 most decisive manner, some of the most vital |questions at issue in the war. E altogether de.
 styast the political position and territorial pres, tiige of tie Southern Con nfsderacy. The claim of the revolted states to independence at home and recognition abroad, has from the first largely rested on their. extent of territory, command oi

? At 6 late performance of the Messiah at Exeter Hall, Otto 9oldschmidt conducted, while his wife Jenny Find, Sims Reeves and Belletti were the soloists. Another critic, speaking of the performance, says:
 1t must be remembered that it was to hcf feeling and expression more than to her vocal quality and facility, marvellous at times as that was, that Jenny Lind was indebted in . great measure for her prodigious reputation. And, therefore, she still enchants-still winds her spells around the multitude; for mind is more enduring than matter, and, although the voiep detoriates, the feeling and expression, remain<-+ Madame Lind Goldschmidt is still the Jenny Lind of some dozen years past in everything exS cept smoothness of tone and ease of delivery, and consequently, still the most remarkable vo. cal artist before the pablic. Her sipgiug of Handel's music last night was not perfect; l6t the purity of the voice is not what it has been, and there is now a strain upon the executive powers which did not exist before; but the if- ish and perfect phrasing, the full meaning con. veyed in every note, the wonderful sonts,s,tsI1 and volume of tone, the certainty with whichthe high notes were attacked, the manner of taking breath, from which our best singers might take a useful lesson, the admirable accent and an nunciation, the management of the gradatiops ef light and shade, and more, the mind that shone through all, proved ina manner not to be mia- taken that the singer was still unspprcaehahle.

TIE RETREATS OF THE REBELS.

The London Stas. of May 17thl says:
 = We could find in our hearts to pity the men who are thus driven from every position they take up, were not their cause infinitely worse than their fortunes, The spectacle ofa great army throwing up mighty entrenchments only to desert them on the eve of battle, and putting itself in motion to retreat as soon as the enemy has completed his preparations for attack-&ofa a great city fortifYing every approach, and prp- claiming the determination of its citizens to per ish rather than submit bidding it's garrison march out at the first summons to surreuder--of coast and river fortresses accommodating munitions on ly that they may become spoil to ths yiotor- arould nsoue aqore of com.passion aan of ridi. cu1e, i Nere ,oere epen decent pretert for com. nsencinq the acar that lsxs .oastes itself a,eau. But the Confederates have no such pretext. They are not insurgent against arhitlary govern ment' but against rulers who design to employ for the enlargement of freedom the power with which they have been freely invested. And the highest interests of mankind can hardly be bet ter served at this present crisis of history than by the snbjugation of Richmond and Memphis, to the victors at New Orleans and Yorktown.

AN ATTACHED JUDGR-The Nashviile OitSoD is doing good service to the Union in Tennessee
 by exposing many of the acts of those recreaut
 Tennesseeans who held office under the Unitsd
 States till the rebels gained possession of the state, and then took office under Davis, and be- came his obedisnt tools in prosecuting Union men. In the number of May 29th we find some extrac:s from Nashville papers of last year, which show that Judge Humphfeys, who has been impeached by the House of Representa-. tives, though an ardent states.rights, man when the Union was to be overthrown by the inordi- nate assertion of state rights, was subservienS enough to the {" Confederate government when that ruled his state. On October 2d, 1861, ae- cording to the Unien and Anserican, secsssi journal
 :. The Confederate States Court met, Jds Humphreys presiding. sls,. .s ai 9 1fe,ss 'a.l'he Court avowed it's purpose to pursgt tbs policy adopted by the state government, Ss sas St as is consistent with the Confederate constitu- ton. z f 5.4g' # u.r . .ssisil1ss ieyes
 On June l4th, 1861, Jo. w. Horton, R B. Cheatham, Paul F. Evi and others wrote let ter to this uurighteous judge, asking at his hands a definition of treason The Judge replied: x
 Chief Justice Marshall states, it would ope. rate most mischievously ifpersons were permit ted to remain in a state and not submit to it's laws.' This universal law of nations is founded on the public safety and justified by the reason that he who receives the protection of the laws must obey the laws. Q maxim the truth and jus tice of which has been acknowledged in all ages and nations. Protection demands allegiancsi allegiance demands protection. We say to those who cast their suffrages against the ordinances of the legislature that they have no right to remain in the midst of the community for the purpose of enabling them to destroy those amongst whom they reside. and the protection of whose laws they enjoy" .t.,a'..4 ". ..... -. .,.
 We trust Judge Humphreys will be tried by his own decisions. Out of his own mouth this unjust judge stands condemned. .I -a,t

INTERESTING FROM COLONEL BAKERS REer. MENr.-The Philadelphia North Anse.icdn pub. fishes the following extract of Q letter from Joseph s. Watt, a corporal in the California regiment in McClellan's army, addressed to his parents in Philadelphia: ' 'l1s
 "On Tuesday. I, with our regiment and all of the division not on duty, witnessed very inter esting but very solemn ceremony-that of dis. gracing captain publicly. It appears at West Point, Va, company l, of the Thirty fourth Now
 York volunteers, was color company, and tho disgraced officer was captain. The colonel want ed to assign the colors to another company, and at dress parade the captain refused to parade his company, and even stacked arms and told the men to refuse to take them. He was arrested and tried by court martial for mutiny, convict. ed, and would have been shot had not General Mcclellan commuted his sentence. n, .rey
 "The ceremony took place in a large field, The regiments were formed in columus of divi- sions each column was close to the next, 50 that it made an unbrokeu front They were then form ed into 8 hollow square the commanders, of regiments. brigades and division and staffs wers Tn the centre. The prisoner was brought in un- der heavy guard, and handcuffed. They march. ed to the centre of the square. The prisoner stepped two paces to the front of the guard l; the officer commanding the guard then came forward and told the prisoner to take of his hat. He then read in loud voice the charges, specifca. tions, and the sentence of the court martial which was {: that his sword be broken befsFG hls face, that he be publicly disgraced befonathe division, and serve one year in the District of Columbia jail and that it shall be disgraceful for any soldier of the army of the, Potomac te associate with him hereafter After this was read a sergeant came forward and cut all the brass buttons iron, his coat, and then took his sword and broke it in half, saying as he did so
 l hereby declare it disgraceful for all men ot the army of the Potomac to associate with thiA the ground. The prisoner was marched of ander the same guard, and we were marched c our camp" .vs
