From every part of the South We hear
of dependency. Mobile sends up wall
of despair at the prospect in the South
west. Rosecrans is pounding away at
Chattanooga, and the rebel papers in East
Tennessee and in Northwestern Georgia
are growing over the ineficiency of Bragg.
The Charleston Nercury dares to speak
with contempt of Beauregard and his en-
cheering "a Gov. Bonham orders the women
and children out of Charleston, and Sa-
vannah waits trembling in view of the
doom which awaits her when Charleston is
reduced. The North Carolinians cry out
freely for peace and reconstruction, brand
the infamous originators of the rebellion
with the epithets they deserve, and curse
the whole conspiracy. Richmond spurns
the Southern shinplasters and Graves our
greenbaeks and denounces Judah Benja-
min as ''Jew thief" and Letcher once
more in his anxiety calls the Legislature
together to prepare for the defense of the
State. The rebelloa goes tumbling down
out ofsight in England. Everywhere inthe
South, in the North, in Europe, the people
see that the power of the rebellion is wan
ing, and that unless it receives help from
without it must soon be crushed, and its
leaders must either meet the doom they
merit or flee for an asylum to some foreign
cline to waste away the remnant of their
miserable lives.
Now while the rebels are in this plight,
what are the sole grounds of hope remain
ing to them2 The Richmond Wing tells
us. They are first, the Intervention of
France, and secondly the embarrassment
of our Government by the copperheads of
the north. The Wing calls these last the
conservative masses" of the north, and
looks forward to stheir determined and
successful opposition to the abolition fac

articles indicated in what way the rebels
might be willing to pay for an alliance
with that power, now that Mexico is under
French rule. But the Wing seems to take
it for granted that it is not necessary to
pay for the help of the copperheads.-
They do their dirty work willingly and
only with the hope of future political re-
ward. They have been doing it ever since
the war began. And the rebels have been
justified in expecting that this aid will not
fail them. Cut off this hope and the hope
of foreign aid, and even the Richmond
Wing sees no signs of southern success
What could so hold up these copperheads

of the Wing.
1t is worth while to notice the reason
why this journal breads long war. 1t is
not on account of desoIation and loss OF
