SEPARATION OF the North and South.
1t is matter of notorety that while the Urionists
can fud partizans i'm the South the Dis l1ionists
count heir active adheents nevery town in the North
The ger classes of American society are said to be
secedt everywhere the are found 30 wherever
is applied The very Cabinet OF the President is
said to be DIVIDED In OPP non on this point, and we well
know that the veneraed founders OF American ndepen
dence did, in forecasing such schism this record
their convictions that separation was better than civil
war. We ask, therefore whether be reasonably
blamed for participating III sentiments which nearly
one haf OF the American people have IN some way ex-

The Federals indignant at our views OF their i'm
pending destiny but they should recoect that precisely
the same destiny has awaited all other communities
The ate CT things which the Unonists desire to pepet

enormous aggregate of States covering entire CONT

society has never been seen yet. When Mr.. Lincoln
describ and explains the lmposslblty OF admitting
more than one State on the American Continent, be

other territories of the world
His arguments if ACCEPTED would prove that there
could only one nation on the Continent OF Europe
If every community has natural light to the whole
course every river and 10 free run from every point
III the interior OF the country to any point on any sea-
board clear that Europe must be wrongly consti

We do not soy but that if such unions could exist, it
might be beneficial to mankind. We only say that
their existence has never yet been found possible,
and tfat the Americans, when they separate,
will be but illustrating the universal tendency OF such
things Great federations have often been imag lined

The New York World" has long editorial on the
manner In which the war has been conducted which
concludes follows
To attempt to carry in the way we are now
doing, le as II manufacturer who had eight factories
in operation to fill two of the eight with raw bands
and raw overseers, clerks and foreman. Clearly the
best method would be for him not to employ raw hands
at all Just as In modern European armies the raw re-
crut sent into the field But any sensible man-
ufacturer, he obliged to employ raw hands, would
prefer distributing them events among his skilu work
man IN his different factories retaining n all of tn m ex-
perlenced men as overseers end foremen And this is
just what the South has done, since the CONSUMPTION
laws came into force-they have drated their raw re-
cruits into their old regiments
The result is, that instead OF Fort Henry Fort Don
elson, and Roanoke Island, they have Fredericksburg
and Vlcksburg to boast Of Instead of following their
example which would be good thing, or adopting the
modern European system, which would be better, we
persist in rushing whole regiments of recruits
manded by raw officers fresh from the bar and the
counting house. into the field and then won Ter that
We meet with sad reverses
Two hundred years ago, there was in England much
such a Civil War as there is now in America war
OF the Middle Glasses against the King and the Ars
tocracy combined. For the first three years the army
or the Parliament almost everywhere unsuccessful
for the same reason that is SO, viz it was cons
tused upon erroneous military principles. Then under
the guiding hand of stern old Oliver Cromwell what is
known in history as the Selfdenyng Ordinance, was
passed, and the army was entirely remodeed upon
correct principles The almost immediate result
victory final and conclusive Have we not had ex-
perence enough to teach the cesty of reorganiz
ing military system in accordance with the dictates
of common sense and the lights of modern science?

-ChREse stOn and Savannah.

The proclamation of General BEAUREGARrs issued to-
day shows that in the opinion of that able commander,
the hour of supreme trial for the cities of Charleston and
Savannah is at hand Which will be attacked first, or
whether both will be attacked simultaneously remains
TO be seen. We think that the position of things would
Indicate that for the present least the main attack
will be made upon Charleston, while demonstration
will be made upon Savannah from the South, by way
OF Fort McAlster and the railroads, with the three
fold obj ect of dverting the attention of military
authorities, cutting of important source Of supply
TO both Charleston and Savapnah, and finally captur.
ing the Nashville or Rattesnake, which they know to
be in Ossabaw Sound, or up the Ogeechee River
In all human probability the channel of the Savan-
nah river for miles below the city, is SO eectualy
obsructed that would take weeks if not months of
hard work, free from all Interruptions, to render the
passage OF any vessel up to the city possible That the
defenders OF the city would remain idle is hardly to be
expected. Their efforts would not be apt to render the
forward progress OF the enemy more easy or pleasant
1t is true there Is good road up from Fort Nc
Aster to the city of Savannah but is not generally
believed to be practicable for ronclads and although
the enemy mag attempt advance that line it il

That the citizens of Wilmington should feel deep
interest in the fate of their beleagured sister towns
would be only natural under any circumstances. I'm
der existing circumstances this interest is intensified by
a belief that the result at CharIeston and Savannah
may deeply effect ourselves OR even oreshadow our own
fate-not that would advocate the abandonment of
Wilmington, even should all other points fall New

PLENTY OF CLOTHING FOR THE TRoors--It will be

to the Confederate Senate by the President in reply

officers of the army allowed to purchase fabrics from

The reports ofsympathy for in the States OF
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois keep coming but confess
that if the people of the States in question have any
such sympathy, they have queer way of showing it.
The Northwest has turned out more men to fight
against the Confederaey. in proportion to population,
than any other section of the North, and, rule,
they have fought harder than any Others.
The people of the upper valley of the Mississippi and
its tributaries have certainly interests in
with the people of the South and Southwest than they
have with the people of the New England States, but
for all that we confess that we think the preponGerance
of their sympathies and preudces is opposed as The
native inhabitants of most Of the States referred to are
New England descent, while the last twelve or fifteen
years have brought in large accession of population
