POLAND AND THE SOUTH The Philadelpbi

POLAND AND THE SoUTH-Tbe Philadelphia
Press justly observes:
Already it has been said that Poland is anoth
Or Sou,b. and Russia another North, and that
the sympathy We bestow upon the Pole, strug-
Cling against the Gear, should be bestowed upon
the Southerner struggling against the Union
No comparison could be more unjust. Poland
Is endeavoripg to rectify crime; the South is
endeavoring to commit crime. POLAND has
heen the victim of Russian tyranny; the South
bs. heen the petted child Of the Republic. Po-
land has suffered all the woes and griefs that
serdom could feel; the South, for century, has
heen the master Of the Republic. Poland is in
resurrection in obedience to high and holy in
spiration; the South is instruction to perpe,
trate great wrong. The triumph . o. ro,an n,
.ha South would be the triumph of slavery
therefore, all our instincts are with Poland, and
We cannot refrain from wishing her every sue
cess ia her present trying time.

Palmore was very communicative, and said he

firm in New York He also stated that he was
connected with the rebel army during the
Peninsular campaign; spoke of the battles in
which he had been engaged, and recalled many
incidents to the recollection of his hearers who
were In the campaign, on our side, and who
remembered distinctly many of the occurren-
ces he spoke of. AS regards the prospects Of
the rebel cause he appeared very Responding,
and said that the chief hope of the rebels con-
sisted in getting the North divided, with
view Of paralyzing its military operations,
which would result in the acknowledgment OF
The independence of the South. He further
stated that the people of the South oelieveo
that the North were so heartily SICK OF the
war, and SO anxious to have it cease that they
would end it in the next thirty orsi1ty days.

Inc pflvateer NASHVILLE, as oas been an
nounced by telegraph. has been destroyed In at
tempting to run the blockade. The Nashville is
one of the historic vessels of the rebellion, and
the following sketch of her viii be read with in
terest. tits from the n Y. Herald:
The Nashville is one Of the historic vessels of
the rebellion. 1t was one of the first seized by
the rebels in Charleston in 1861, and vas sent
to sea under the rebel flag. She has, on more
than one occasion, given our blockading feet a
great deal of trouble It will be remembered
that she ran the blockade of Beaufort, N. C.,
early last year, and after being in the harbor for
some time, and supposed to be secure, eluded
what was deemed to be strict watch, and again
escaped to sea. She has several times run be-
tween Bermuda and Charleston with a contra
band cargo; but the last time she entered one
of the Southern ports, she was SO completely
hemmed In that she could rot escape. It was
reported last October that she was fitting out
with heavy armament for the purpose OF joining
the privateer vessels now engaged in the rebel
cause, aud committing their raYages upon the
open seas. To prevent this, close watch has
been kept on her movements by Admiral Du-
points feet, which vigilance has been finally re-
warded by her complete destruction.
The Nashville was q side. wheel steamer of I =
500 tuns burthen, and was built at this port in
1854. She belonged to Messrs. Spohord, Tiles
ton l. Company's Charleston line, and was one
of the fastest ships running from New York
The usual passage to Charleston is two and half
days, but the Nashville usually ran down in 81
hours, and has made the tripiu 46a hour. She
made her last trip from this port to Charleston
inst before the bombardment of Sumter. Her
Captain at that time. Murray was a South
Carolina man, and sailed from here with orders
not to 60 into Charleston if there was any dan
ger. He arrived off the bar April IL, while the
bonbardment was in progress, and lay off and
on until the capitulation of Sumter, when the
ship run in and was at one sceized by the rebel
authorities at Charleston. It will be remem
bered that they had just before seized and re-
leased the Marion of the same line. After her
seizure, the Nashville LAY for some time idle at
the dock in Charleston, until she escaped to sea.
She was then in the very best order, as her own
ers had but short time before laid out $4,000
in repairing the ship. Her former pu,ser came
from Charleston shortly after her capture, and
reported that the vessel was we'll taken care OF,
and vas covered with tarpauline to keep her
from tie sun. She was considered so good
sea going vessel, that the Collins Company
twice chartered her to put her on in place Of one
of their Liverpool ships, and she made the trip
across each time inside Of twelve days.

The Impassiveness Of Greatness.
The correspondent of the n Y. Evening Post
thus describes General McClellan's recent ap.
pearance before the Committee on the Conduct
of the War:
He is . most singular witness. The Commit
tee made very little progress with him The
impression left upon the minds of the Committee
is that he is either very stupid or very shrewd,
being in the latter alternative 80 shrewd that he
affects stupidity. When an important question
is asked him, he waits for long time before he
answers it, sometimes for twenty minutes, and
then is very guarded in his reply. If asked an
opinion, he replies: "Well, that depends on a
great many other things" or, ''it is difficult to
give an opiuion," and SO on.
We fail to see anything derogatory to Genl
McClelan's military genius in this. Profound
wisdom usually bears the appearance of profound
stupidity. If the veil is to be rudely torn down
by newspaper correspondents, and if men OF or
binary minds are to attempt to distinguish and
classify these qualities the very framework Of
society is not safe.
The oracle at Delphos acquired it's credit for
divine wisdom, and maintained it for centuries,
by replies which nobody could make anything
of. The impassiveness of his clay image is to
the African the air and evidence of its omnipo-
tence. No living thing could SO command his
faith. Were it to perform, it would become like
other creatures in hs eyes. But remaining inert,
he ascribes to it all the operations of creation,
movements of the seasons, and the convulsions
of nature. If good occars, he gives his imper'
turbable image the praise. II evil be ascribes
it to the interference of an evil spirit with his
| plans.
Should skeptic scof at the absence of visible
performance or response, the faithful worshiper
would reply that his deity was taking his time,
or that his plans were too comprehensive to per.
nit local action, or that they could not be ap.
preciated by common understanding, or that
| 'the mills of the gods grind slowly" and SO EEK.
ceeding small" that single generation cannot
perceive the grist.
1t is calculated to quiet the concern many have
felt lest the progress of scientific discovery
should be the growth of skepticism, when we see
the smartest people in the world thus Initiating
and even exceeding the coniding faith of the
| aim Mo mi nd al African --1Cin Gazette.
