WAR WITH ESGIASD-The st. Louis Re
publican INDUCES i'll the following curious
but not improbable speculations:
1t has been suggested with a show OF
truth, that the very persons who a year
ago were loudest in favor OF peace with all
nations to enable us to conquer the rebel
lion, are now looking about for favorable
circumstances under which to advocate
an acknowledgment Of the Southern Con.
federacy. The state of poiticts in this
country is very remarkable. If a fey. of
the radical leaders should openly ad secate
disunion tn day, they would have hosts of
radical followers and supporters, and pos
. sibly might cement a union between the
Aboltionists and the extreme anti-war
men. But their difficulty consists in the
strong probability that the instant they
advocate peace by disunion, there is rea-
son to believe that the majority are vastly
in favor of peace by compromise. and,
| therefore, if they accomplish peace by dis
union. they would be q prescribed and
abhorred party, forever deprived of popu-
larity or power.
These men want to aaise a cloud under
which to escape from the righiul conse-
quences OF their own acts. They appre.
bend the worst from their own folly in
urging suicidal and impracticable schemes
If they feel that they cannot attain their
protested object-the overthrow of the re-
bellion-and that permanent disunion is
likely to follow from what they have so
rashly committed themselves to, they
would naturally want this catastrophe laid
on other shoulders than their own What
more promising of such relief than war
with England, in the hurly- burly and new
passions aroused by which, though dis
union might come out of it, they might

Vs. The Alexandria Democrat thus announces
a Confederate victory achieved by Gen. Greene
at Morganza, on the Atchafalaya, some day week
before last:
We announced last week that Gen. Green had
blockaded the Mississippi and driven back their
transports, and even whipped turretted IRON
clad gunboat. Since then the enemy have land
ed, near Morganza, five OR six thousand troops,
and thought to get in the rear of our troops and
thus cut them Of, and eventually capture the
whole of them. In this vain endeavor they
marched in the direction Of, and in few miles of
Morgan's Ferry, on the Atchafalaya, and the
same night struck an enemy in their own rear.
Maj Boone and his gallant band were there, as
! sisted the Valverde Battery, and sans cere-
m0nie walked rough. shod into the affections of
tile bue-bellies. As is always the case when
frieusty attacked, the Yanks left in double quick
leaving large number of their men dead on the
field. A few days after they were reinforced
and came at our troops with renewed hopes of
success. Gen. Green had crossed the river and
was patiently awaiting their arrival, which was
not long delayed. Soon another brisk fight COM
menced across the narrow stream, and soon the
Yanks were again whipped and in full retreat.
When last heard from they were making good
time pursued by that 'furious old fighter and
his brave troops Ere this time Gen. Green is
again ON the Mississippi, master of the situation.
and disputing the free nayigaiion of the river
with our Yankee friends.

E, MoLoNT. Aid, Sir:--It is often a
difficult matter to determine loyalty. 1t
means an honest support Of the sovereign
power of the State fidelity 10 the Gov.
eminent where we live. tits principle
not an act or declaration. In time Of
war, disloyal persons are dangerous to
the State, because they exert a pernici,
Gus opposition, when every fibre Of the
Government, should be devoted 10 the
cause Of the country. Disloyal persons
may, therefore, in time OF war, be confu'
ed, banished, or restrained in their pur.
suits, as security against their deslruc.
tive influence. Loyalty being princi.
pie, it can only be proved by protesla.
lions, acts and influences of men. Pr-
ma facis an oath of allegiance, or an oath
and bond for its faithful observance, is
evidence Of loyalty, and,when men have
tsken upon themselves such obligations,
and have lived and acted cons silently
with them, they should be regarded as
loyal. But other acts, influences and
expressions may show diSloyaly. If a
man subscribes to oaths and bonds, and
then treats such obligations contemptu
ously o: triaingly, that man is diSloyal.
Ifa man swears he is loyal, and says hO
sympathises with rebels, he decsiycs him,
self-he is not loyal. If mans iuau,
euce in his own family, with his imme-
date associates, and in the ncigrbor,
hood in which he may reside, is such as
to induce and encourage expressions OF
disloyally, that man is mol loyal. 1t may
be difficult to obtain positive proof OF
disloyalty, but cautious, caudid scruti.
