Now, that will do pretty we'll for city
in whose streets the grass was to grow ss
the direct consequence of the rebellion; /;
and if we desire to learn still further how
far the great teonspirators and their hackers
have erred in their calculations, we have
only to refer to the great organs of thelre-
belIion as they declared themselves in
bringing it on. Let US hear, by extrssts
from two different articles in the Richn6ud
Enquirer Of that period-May two years
ago: ,yms
"It is the tendency of that curse ofithe
world, free society, torctrogrddt, to go from
ltoerty-weIl- invigorating and
healthful-to license with its long train of
evils, such as war intidelity, plunder, and
every species of fdemoralization."
Hereis from another:
"The disruption of the Union, and the
consequent withdrawal from Mort hern 40 .
ciety of Southern wealth and labor, which
have sustained it, have brought millions of
the -laboring classes OF the North face5to
face with utter want and starvation
Northern capital trembles for it's safety !;
Northern conservatism shakes with terror
in the presence ofihe unchsined demons of
R''arcfya and staruGtfon."
ztsa' ~ "The merchant princ95.ol
New Il ofk ttG 5anter& and i1t0tdser4 OF real
estate, know that the most fatal blow that
could be struck at them would be reac.
ton at the North, which would leave the
hungry sans cutottes at leisure to turn their
attention TO Sthe accumulated riches of the
centres of the North" = "
AS soon as the first reverse TO Northern
arms takes place, q revolution will break
out at the North, more horrible in it's
atrocities than the reign of.terror in Paris,
when murder and chaos held high carnival
ina it's palaces aud streets. Let all the
South, especially let Virginia, meet with
unfalteripg courage this crisis in our his-
tory, andoin a few months this fanatical
despotism. overwhelmed with debt, with
out recupetatiye resources, with a huge
multitude of idle and nufed laborers, will
crumble in pieces, and one universal anar-
.chy and chaos viii reign over the Free
States of the late Union. These are not
mere idle speculations; they are founded
inslaws of human nature as unmistakable
as thetlaWs of the universe"
Such seere, in truth, the "tdls specula-
tons" of one of the editors of the great
Rebel organ-the Richmond Eagmrcr-
SUCH, doubtless, were the ''idle specula-
tions" of o. Jennings Wise, to whom that,
destruction came he SO remorselessly, saw

this and thousand similar Trades of that
date specially designed to '.fire the South
