Of great military disaster, when moth

wonder that Mr.. Davis casts his

good a statesman as the Confederate
President ought 10 know that foreign
aid is seldom granted to a defeated

gives the Confederate President the
use Of his armies and his fleets, he
must have some substantial reward
for his much needed assistance. Mr..
Davis might have secured the aid of
France by placing The Lower Missis-
sippi in the hands Of the Emperor
But that has gone the way of all the
principal part Of the Confederate ac-
QUESTIONS. Texas might make a val.
liable colony for the empire, but Gen.
Banks army is at liberty and could
oyerrun that State, and, assisted by
the gunboats Of Farragut and Porter,
take possession of its ports before the
Emperor could start feet from his
distant hnrbors. Once in our posses
sion, the Emperor probably would not
consider any right TO it that Jefferson
Davis could give him, sufficient re-
war1 for ineuring the dangers Of a
war with a power which has plenty
of Parrot guns and monitors. Neither
can Mr.. Davis draS much consolation
in this hour of his peril from the Nor
thern States. Ills frie ds have done
their best, aad failed 10 arouse any
opposition that could make itself felt
on the strength Of our armies. So
tar from being able 10 help the Con.
tederacy, they are unable to help
( thems Ives, and are dying out as fast
as the rebellion itself, and will be
buried in the same grave.
/ Such is the condition of the Con-
Gedcracy dedicated at every point,
its yitals pierced BY invading armies,
and to the military pressure from
without, opposing demoralized armies,
divided people, distracted counsels
and a detesied Government and,
more than this, deprived Of all hope
Of assistance from without. A Gov.
eminent founded in conspiracy and
placed in such position, cannot but
meet with speedy and complete over
throw. Never before have we had
such reason for encouragement. We
know that the country has often be,
fore been raised 70 The heights Of Joy
and been doomed to disappointment
