An Article from the Richmond EH-
We publish an article this morning from
the Richmond Examiner, which dIsc:oses
the real temper of the Rebels over the re-
cent elections in PenusyIyaufa and Ohio.
Very different is its tone from the article
published on the morning of the day of
those elections. On that occasion the same
Examiner, from which we publish the arti-
Gle in our paper to-day, said:
"The issue to be decided By these State
elections is, then, a mOmentous one. Ii
the Government fails, it will be an indica-
ton of weakness, for we may be assured
their whole strength will have been put
forth. Wemay hail the success Of the OPP
position as the birth ola Peace party. 1t
will be n delicate infant, aud will require
careful nursing. Lee aud Bragg will be
able to do more to hasten its growth than
Wood or YallaudighHm. Let our armies
be victorious, and It may be endowed with
the strength of an infant Hercules to
straugIe the Serpent brood, Let retreats
be the order OF the day, and it will never
pass the crisis of teething"
The hopes in this paragraph have been
badly dashed, and hence the desperate aud
reckless article 10 to.day's paper. 1t is a
very cheap thing for the writer to comfort
himself that it is much better for the Con-
federate cause that Ohio and PennsylVa-
mia overthrow his allies in those States
the Copperbeads. He argues that now
the Yankee nation will be destroyed sure
enough. If the Yankees had lone differ
eut in those elections, they might
have had some chance for future,
but now they have none. The South will
simply fight on until the Yankee nation ID
bankrupt and utterly destroyed. The
logic of this reckless talk is not apparent
1t is not told US by the editor of the Ez
qminer what is to be the condition of thu
South all the time in which the Yankee
nation is being ruined. No reference i
made as to how the rebel finances are u
be kept aaoat. 1t is plain to see that tn
Yankees can not keep their currency valu
able, but, of course, it is not expected tha
any danger of that kind will threaten tn
rebels. Gold with them sells at $l1 so; il
other words paper dollar is worth trifi
over eight cents in coin. Even at thil
time sunptuary laws and regulations are
being agitAted in the legislature at Rich
moud and in the city council. Flour ii
selling at $65 and $40 barrel. cab
bage head is worth one dollar. Abound Of
"hog all round" brings two dollars ana
fifty cents. Aud yet the rebels are Il
see the grand collapse of the Yankee
forcssl All they have to do is To- thank Coo
= for the result of the recent elections, an,
push on the war, being well assured il
their minds that the paper system of tn
Yankees will burst like an inflated bal
loon, and let the whole bottom of Yankee
dom fall out. Pray, how are the rebels Il
stand in that day. What is to be thei
status ! Some of Us are anxious on Iha
point. 1t is very amusing 10 read sucI
clap traps as the Ezamiaer puts forth. Iii
written in the regular "Iast ditch style
but there is nothing in it. The fellow VII,
bought the crow, to see whether it woult
live hundred years, as naturalists ha,
affirmed, was not greater sinpletOn thar
the rebel writer who gravely discourse
about the future bankruptcy of the Van
KEGS, when evsnifwe admit the likelihood
of such thing, We all know full well thai
the rebel confederacy can never he on hand
to tautalize us with the misfortune. Ourpa
per is still eleven hundred times better
than their paper, as the quotations IN New
York and Richmond, respectively, show.
Our paper in their own capital sell to theirs
own brokers at premium nearly the same
as gold, while wagon load of their Trash
would mot buy pair of boots even here in
the neck of the domain claimed By them.
Isn't it likely that people with snch a
currency, who have lost half their terrific
~ since the war commenced, whose every
State is occupied, to certain extent, BY
our forces, who have lost the control Of
the Mississippi insersection-Will be on
band 10 witness the grand burst up OF the
Yankee currency The Yankee currency
NAV burst-no one can toresee what is ia.
