The following from the Richmond Dis
patch of July 7tb, shows the feeling that
actuates the people Of the South in their
rebellion, and how they talk about their
prospects. We opine that it is much ca
sier matter for them to talk about what
they will do in the event of the occupancy
of all their seaports by the Federals, than
it will be to carry out their programme in
fact
While Paul Jones in The wretched old
hulk Of an Indiaman an hundred years old,
(the Bon Homme Richrd) was engaged
in The desperate conaictlwith the Saraps
new English frigate Of she frst class, just
out of port-atler 2AeIr le broadside
had riddled her SO completely that
he was compelled to lash her to the
Englishman to avoid snkiug-when
nearly all his guns had bursted and half his
crew had fallen-a momentary cessation Of
firing induced his adversary to hail him
and inquire whether he had struck: awe
have not begun to fight" was the laconic
and pthy reply, aud after two hours more of
mortal comblt, he had the satisfaction of
walking the Englishmans deck, victor,
under circumstances so desperate that at
one time there appeared no chance of es-
cape. Such is the reward of valor when
allied to constancy, and directed by an in
domitable will
Lincoln, Seward Haleck, and the whole
Yankee press, are hugging themselves in
the delusion that they already see The end
of the war, and that the end is, to us, the
death of our liberty and the beginning of
an interminable servitude To their taunts
and sneers, we reply, in the defiant Ian
guage of Paul Jones, " We have not yet
begun to fight" They think they have
seen pitched fields but the hottest of those
they have seen are, to those which must
come, but as the freshness Of an April
morning to the fiery breath of the dog days;
but as the snow upon the side of Hecla to
the whirling gulf of flame within; but as
| December to June but as an ice house to
furnace heated an hundred fold.
This people has never yet put forth its
strength to half its extent, furious as has
| been the war in which it has been engaged.
! Iul8uJy as nave OcGu us struggles SlOllOuS
as have been its victories, unparalleled as
has been the result What we have done
is scarcely type of what we can do. The
present situation, far from being desperate,
is only trying enough to induce new ener-
gy in the contest, to call for new exertions
and new sacrifices, to remind our people of
the nature of the conflict and the object of
the enemy, to bring out our whole strength
and to let the world see of what we are ca
pable. While the Yankees think they
have subjugated us by taking Vicksburg,
we repeat, in the language Of Paul Jones'
eve have not begun to fight"
Such is the spirit of our people, such the
resources of our cOuntrymen in their own
determined will, such the obstacles which
the enemy will have to overcome, before he
can ever subdue us We have lost Vicks-
burg and Port Hudson. What of that ]:
Suppose we lose Charleston, Savannah,
Mobile, Wilmingion-all our seaports
What of that we ask again

CURRENT OF NIGARA FALLs.-A re-
cent fruitless attempt to sound Niagara
river at the Suspension Bridge, forcibly il
lustrates the tremendous force of the cur
rent of the Mammoth Falls of America
strong enough, doubtless, to preclude any
successful effort to ascertain the depth of
the river The attempt referred to was
made with an iron of about ten pounds
weight, and attached to a No wire, all
freely suspended, so as not to impede the
fall of the weight. The experimenter
says 81 let the weight fall from the
bridge, at the hight of two hundred and
twenty-five feet. 1t struck the surface
fairIv w;;th the point down, and must have
sunt some eth, but was no longer out of
siobt than second, when it made its ap-
pearance again on the surface, about one
hundred feet down the stream, ana skipped
along like a chip until it was checkeo oy
the wire. We then commenced haHlIng IN
slowly. which made the iron bounce like
ball, when a cake of ice struck it and end
ed our sport. l am satisfied that no metal
has sufficient specific gravity TO pierce that
current, even with q momentum acquired
by fall of two hundred and twenty-five
feet The velocity of iron, when striking,
must have been equal to one hundred and
twenty-four feet per second, and conse-
uuently its momentum was near five thou
sand pounds. Its surface opposed to the
current was fifty superficial inches. This
will give an idea of the strength OF that
current, and at the same time hint at the
Titan forces that have been al work to
scoop out the bed of the Niagara river.

These we would still have though every
thing materially we're gone.
But we are reduced to no such straits.
On the contrary, we speak he solemn truth
when we declare that in our opinion our
situation, although it is one which calls for
the utmost exertion, so far from being des-
perate is not even gloomy. The enemy
has taken Vicksburg and Port Hudson.
Does he open the river thereby? Not at
all, as we showed the other day, and we
think showed satisfactorily. On the other
hand, he weakens himself by the garrison
he is obliged to put in these places, and he
strengthens our armies by returning the
garrisous which have been SO long shut up
there. He would do the same thing by ta-
king Charleston Savannah and Mobile.
Having no longer any detached ports to de-
fend, our army could then complete the
policy of concentration which. but partially
pursued has already been attended with
such memorable results
Retiring into he interior as he advances,
we shall weaken him and strengthen our
selves with every step that he takes in eav.
ing his base of operations. We have made
our calculations long ago that all the towns
within the reach of the eneuy's navy would
fell; and giving them, for the sake of the
argument, up TO him, we conceive that we
are more able to beat him without them
than with them Let il not be forgotten, in
the meantime, that we have a powerful ar
my-an army that has never been beaten
with General at its head who may rank
with the most renowned leaders Of whom
history makes mention Let the despond-
ing think of these facts, and tel us what
there is gloomy in our situation. For our
part, we see nothing whatever We may
be called on to destroy more cotton and to-
bacco to prevent their falling into the hands
of the enemy but, in our opinion, this
would not be the worst thing the govern
ment could do, even of its own free will.
1t would recall the minds Of Thousands from
the pursuit of wealth to the defense of the
country, and that would be a positive
gain" ...

IT there il any reliance in telegraphic
reports the final deter mination Of the
Administration is TO send this gentlemen
10 Dixie. We have never been an admirer
Of his course, and have never considered
that any important practical ends either
for good OF evil would result from his Of
repeated speeches,-bus. We do believe
that an Infinitely greater amount Of ipia-
~ to the country will follow from the pro
ceedings which we're instituted against
him than could have possibly been effect
cd BY anything he could have said or
done. So far ~ we can gather from the
testimony of those Who seem to have been
specially appointed to follow him in the
character Of informers, nothing has been
elected that would for . moment stand IS
sufficient ground for conviction for any
offence before any civil tribunal. He has
always strenuously opposed dissolution Of
the Union, or any violation Of the Con.
stitution and laws. His offence consists
in opposition to the war policy Of the Ad.
ministration, which he would remedy in
no other than in lawful manner st the
ballot boz. Nothing that he has said
surpasses ia severity oft.repeated express
sions Of Republican members Of Congress
leading Journalists, and public speakers
who claim not only to be excessively loyal
but Who bold prominent positions in the
ranks Of the dominant party.
This exile win give him prominence
throughout the country which be could
have acquired in no other way. It viii be
regarded a. an act Of wanton persecution
which cannot fail to operate to the detri-
ment Of tho Union cause; thousands Of
men who disapproyed bis course will re-
gard bis treatment Is an act Of fragrant
wrong aud. viii become bis fast friends.
- Aside from this the policy which has
been inaugurated of .sending suspected
parties to tho camps Of the enemy, thus
forcing them into the position Of open aud
aceive hostility Is in direct variance With
every principle Of military science. In
al ages Of the world the first object Of
commanders has aeen TO cut off from the
enemy as fas as possible ell means Of in

known to human law. BY the course
