The Jackson Crisis has cheerful editorial headed
"What Of the Night the conclusion Of which We
copy:
For prudential reasons omit special references to
the influence on future military operations which may be
exerted by Confederate navy. We know great deal
more in the premises than we permitted to tell We

the present war will close WITH during the warm sea-

that it will result in final independence do not
allow ourself to doubt If the South as people, will
only recognize the rightfu supremacy of God--if our

The Yankees are comforting themselves with the idea
that the Polish revolution brings to end all chance Of
intervention by France in American affairs. While this is
tue opinion in YankeeADd the opposite theory has been
started on our side that French diplomacy had in fact
prepared the Polish and Hungarian mind for this
luton this particular time, in order that Russia and
Austria might have work nearer home at the moment
when the Emperor might provoke hostile relations with
the Yankee Government in the prosecution of his
