DsPLoRABLE CONDITION or THE SoUrH.-Ad-
vices received from all parts of the seeded
States go to prove how greatly the people suffer
Tor provisions and food Of every description.
Prices have attained height which places
almost all the necessities of life out of reach of
the poorer and even the middling classes, the
wealthy being themselves deprived of all
luxuries. The authorities ct the South are
making every effort to induce the people to
grow corn and wheat in place Of cotton, and have
began selling upon provisions wherever they
find them for the purpose of feeding their armies.
This, however, but preciptates the moment
when, unable to bear such suffering any longer,
the misguided people of the so-called Con-
federate States will throw or the yoke of the
ambitious and traitorous men who rule their
destinies. The want Of food will shortly compel
them to evaeuate many of their strongholds-a
fact which is already deeply impressed upon
the minds Of large portion Of the public In the
South. s..,s-
The Governor Of Georgia has issued procla-
nation to the people in his State, which, as an
illustration Of what we have stated above, we
append. This document we extract from the

We must inevitably, and that at an early
date, reduse the suffering South to a recogni-
ton Of their allegiance to the government of the
United States, If our navy will but redeuble In
vigilance and keep out all blockade runners
FROM Europe, which furnish supplies to the
rebels, enabling them thus to defer their sub
lection. A great victory won BY our land
forces would, we feel assured, break down the
rebellion e. If by magic. Tho people Of the
South are undergoing sufferings and privations
which must end. They are no longer upheld
by the hope Of European recognition. The
complications caused by the spread Of the
Polish insurreotion have destroyed all chance of
any action on the part Of the great nations Of
Europe in our affairs, and hence y, people Of
the South willfesl how hopeless their condition
has become. We feel assured that an increase
Of our blockading force and the gain Of deoi-
sive battle will crush the rebellion.

HONDURAS CorToS.-Our correspondent at
Belize has sent us some very fine specimens of
Honduras cotton, which were brought in from
the bush, where II grows wild on q small tree
He informs us that the attention Of the people
Of Honduras is being directed to the produc-
ton Of this staple, and that large quantities Of
cotton seed are being imported. The samples
sent us are Of very excellent quality, and longer
and finer than any others that we have seen Of
foreign production. II grows wild on many Of
the islands and on the mainland OF British Hon.
duras Whether, when artificially cultivated,
II will be susceptible OF such Improvement as
to compete with Southern cotton, remains yet
to be tested. The specimens sent TO us GER
tainly give ground for belief that such may be
the case.

THE RADICAL JoURNALs.-The abolition papers
are making q tremendous noise about the me-
cessity of making the army loyal and the plan
is already in operation. Nothing can be more
absurd; for If the troops are not loyal where
will you find loyalty
The talk about the disloyalty Of the troops is
sheer humbug, got up by the abolition journals,
and is equally damaging with the statements
they have been lately making about deserters.
A short time ago special correspondent of
the Tribune writing from the West, stated that
it was on official record that thirty-three per
cent of the Union army before vicksburg had
deserted, and during the present week 1t Is
stated, in the same paper that the number Of
| descrters from the different Union armies
amounts to the enormous figure OF 100000
These statements about desertion and dis
loyalty, If true, ought not to have been
made, and never would have been made
by truly loyal journalist. They ought
not to be permitted to 60 forth by me
War Department, because they furnish
aid and comfort to the enemy, and
are calculated to spread disaffection all
over tho land. But they are not true, and there
is therefore greater reason for putting stop
to them. Whatever few assertions have occur
red, and whatever dissatisfaction may be found
among the troops faithful to the cause in which
they enlisted, have been produced, not from
any change Of sentiment about the war, nor
from any disloyalty to the Union, but from the
fact Of not receiving their stipulated pay, and
from their supply Of food being deficient in
quantity or bad in quality Let these things
be everywhere remedied, as General Hooker is
| doing, and there will be little desertion and
but few murmurs. No number of clap-trap
resolutions can cure such evils. The north
wind will not fill hungry stomach, which has
peculiar loathing for the rhodomontade Of
abolition editors securely ensconced behind
their desks, and for the radical demagogues in
the pulpit and on the platform, who keep at a
safe distance from the leaden and iron hail OF
the enemy.
The idea Of such men calling in question the
loyalty Of our brave troops, who have pledged
their lives to prove il, Is not only an insult to
them, but an outrage upon the understanding
Of an intelligent people. The soldiers are the
most loyal portion Of the whole community. I,
was their loyalty that brought them to the field
while the radicals who now defame them re-
NAMED at home, either brawling at We rebels
hundreds Of miles away, or getting Offices fol
themselves and their friends, or fattening upor
government contracts. How we'll might oul
brave army retort upon their poltrcon Sian
dsrsrs, and ask Greeley, for example, "where
are now your three times three hundred thou

Tao Splendid Prospect Before Us.
The cheering news from the Mississ ppl,
which we have the pleasure to submit to our
readers this morning, opens splendid prospect
before US. Admiral Porter, by convenient
bayou, has succeeded In running Eve gunboats
into the lower Yazoo, and into the very posi-
ton desired above Haines' Bluff. Thus he is
enabled to move up the river to the support Of
the descending expedition at Fort Pemberton,
to reduce the rebels there to speedy capitula-
ton or evacuation, and to bring down the Gem
bined land and naval forces Of our two expedi-
tions to the flank and rear of vicksburg, pre-
paratory to general assault or complete in
vestment of the place. We therefore conf
IDENTIFY expect very soon to receive the news
that the rebels, to save their army at each
place, have abandoned Vicksburg and Port
Hudson, and that the whole line of the Missis-
sippi is cleared Of rebel obs tructions.
It appears that the rebel report that only
ono of the vessels of Admiral Farraguts
squadron had run the gauntlet Of the enaladlng
batteries at Port Hudson was deception. The
latest reports state that all Of his vessels are
now above Port Hudson. Two Of them have
reached the mouth of the canal opposite vicks-
burg, while the remainder are stationed at Red
river, doubtless to look after the ram Queen of
the West and other rebel craft
While it is evident that we are near general
collapse Of the rebellion in the Southwest, with
the capture or evacuation of vicksburg and
Port Hudson, the general reports Of the day,
including those from rebel sources, and all the
signs of the times, indicate the speedy expul-
sion of jeff. Davis from Virginia. The scarcity
Of subsistence of itself is powerfully operating
to the abandonment by the rebel armies Of
their exhausted Northern frontier lines. We
dare say that the principal object Of Long.
streets advance into Kentucky, from East Ten
e~asee, is to secure subsistence for his troops.
and some .nsedful supplies for the army of 10.
Johnston in front # General Rosecrans; but in
this foraging foray we predict that Longstreet
will be far less successful thar Bragg.
The skies are Frightening. The rebellion is
evidently upon the point of exhaustion and dis
solution. When one gold dollar In Richmond
commands six dollars and half in Confederate
scrip, we may reasonably assume that the rotten
paper fabric upon which the rebellion stands is
falling to pieces The time has come, and
President Lincoln has now the opportunity, the
means and the power, to bring this war to q
speedy conclusion. Let him exert his autho-
rity, and push on the war with an overwhelm-
ing pressure, and he will soon achieve glo-
rious, comprehensive and lasting peace. In
view OF the hour Of our great delivsrance, who
IL
can attempt to portray the glory and grandeur
of the Gature destiny of the United States of
America, fully reunited and all powerful for
peace or war?
