Rebel Hopcs--The Cat ont Of the Rag J..
NJ. L. Mnury, the rebel who ran
away from the Washington Observa-
tory, at the commencement of the war,
and who is q scientific humbug of
large proportions and enormous pre-
TENSIONS, is in England, as mn agent
of the Southern Confederacy. After
the July victories OF the Union arm
les, he felt it incumbent on him to,
write a letter to the London Times, to-
prop the fallen fortunes of the Confed-
eracy, by staying the downward ten
dencv of the Confederate loan. The
letter was dated "Bowden, Cheshire,
August L." The letter begins and
ends with the assertion, "never were
the prospects of the South brighter. "
He thinks the editor of the Times
will agree with him as to Southern
prospects when he comes to look oyer
them. The South, he says, is fighting
TO be let alone, and the Union Is gone.
He gives the British tory aristocrats,
who are the born and bred enemies
and haters of the American Republic,
and sympathize with all its enemies,
ana especially with Southern rebels,
the benefit of the doctrine preached
by Yallandigham to the butternuts,
that neither party to the American
war can suhjugate the other, and he
says, sit follows that the war is not
"a be ended by the sword" AS the
rebels have undoubtedly suffered great
military reverses, and Maury assumes
that their prospects for establishing
their independence were never bright
er, what is it that offsets those militia
nv reverses? Maury says to the edit
or of the London Times, and through
him to all Europe and America:
GAS an offset, then, against the tide
of military revcrses, which in the first
weeks of July ran so strong against
the South, and from which our friends
in England seem not to have recover
ed, let us look to those agencies that
are to end the war, and inquire what
progress has been made on the roaC
to peace, and, consequently in oul
favor, Notwithstanding these military
rcverses."
We ask men who are ofthc opinion
that they love their country, and wh'
sometimes think they will vote thu
Democratic ticket--evcn for Nallan
digham-to mark the words "AI
OFFSET AGAINST THE TIDE OF MILITAR'
REvERsHs" What have the rebels
that compensates them for our July
victoriesp Maury says the war "i
not to he ended by the sword" But
"Othcr agents have been called il
play. What are they? Let us inquire
They are, divisions in the camp o
the enemy, dissensions among tn
people of the North. There is alread!
peace party there. All the embar
easements with which that party cal
can surround Mr.. Lincoln, and all TIN
difficulties that it can throw in tn
way Of the war party in the North
operate directly as so much aid anc
comfort to the South"
Win the butternut ignorant an,
the copperheadcd scoundrels make ,
note OF that? "Other agents" thar
the sword have be Ell called into pla,
to secure the independence of tn
South. And they are, as Maury boasts
the peace men Of the North, who op
crate directly to aid and comfort tn
South--that is to say, the rebellion
Maury becomes specific, and define
the reasons for the brightness Of til
Southern prospect. He says;
"New FORK ls threatening armc
resistance TO the Federal Government
New York is becoming the champio
of States Rights in the North, and, t
thatcxtent,is taking Southern ground
He exultingly adds that Lincoln i
"afrad to enforce the conscription il
New York" The situation at Charles
ton he states in this way:
"In the attack upon Charleston, tn
enemy is losing ground. He il evi
IDENTITY giving way. He has bee
driven from James Island, and we ar
planting batteries there which vii
sweep Morris Island, which is nothing
but sand beach So Charleston ma
be considered safe"
But II is not upon the southern NJ
mics he places his main dependence
He relies upon the "other agents. y
Here is his climax of confidence:
"VALLAN DIGH A NJ WAIT
AND WATCHES OVER TIL f Bon
DER, PLEDGED-IF ELECTED
GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OIL
OH1O--TO ARRAY IT AGAINS'
LINCOLN AND THE WAR. AM
TO co FOR PEACE. Whist the RI
suit of the election there will be ca
not tell; but the canvass is going OF
and we know that opposition to Lii
coin and his war party is CROWN
more and more popular every da.
and throughout the whole North"
Will the Enquirer copy Maury
letter for the information of the frieno
of peace?-- Gin. Com.
