We find by this exhibit that the value Of cotton alone
exported exceeded by forty per cent the entire
exports from the free States and that the exports from
the slave States greatly the value of ex.
ports from the free States. The knowledge of these
facts is instgating the Northern people to make such
desperate efforts to subugate and hold the South in the
Union But upon these facts, rest the ark of our
safety. We contending for rghts-the products

GEN. DIX ON THE DRAFr.-We regret that we
have not space to give our readers the address
of Maj Gen Dix in relation to the draft in New
York, to which our kilograms have already allu
ded. 1t is admirable in tone, unexceptionable
IN temper, and clear and irrefutable in state
ment and argument. Gen. Dix it will be re-
membered, is a Democrat, and so far a &" consev-
vative, " in modern phrase, that he has never
been 10 any way identified with what are styled
the {" radical war measures of the Adminisra-
ton. He proves himself by this letter, to be q
Democrat of the Jackson type still. We sug-
gest fer the consideration of those elsewhere
than in New York who are following the lead
of lloratio Seymour in resisting the CONSUMPTION,
the whole of this address, and especially this
paragraph
Submission to the law in seasons of TRANQUIL
ity is always the highest of political duties.
But, when the existence of the Government is
IN peril, he who resists its authority commits
crime OF the deepest turpitude. lie is the vol

that they are acting under color of authority

people in their respective States With us, re-

Southern Dependency.

We print elsewhere extracts from Southern
papers showing the gloom among the rebels at
the present unpromising state Of their cause.
OF course, it would be unwse to infer from
these expressions that she leaders of the traitors
were ready to submit to the old Government; yet
they furnish abundant evidence that the people
at the South begin to look with hope to res
toration of peace uader Federal authority. So
far it is a hopeful sign.
And will the Peace Democrats inform US what
has made this impression On the Southern peo-
pie? What has convinced them, or any Of
them, of the desperation of their cause Is It
the Sham Democratic campaigns at the North,
under the lead of your Seymours and Vallan
dighams, or the war measures of the Admins
tration, under the lead of Grant and Banks and
RoseCrans and Meade Is it a result of Dem,
ocratic triun phi at the polls in New York or
New Jersey, or of a triumph of the engnery
of war at Gettysburg, Vicksburg and Port
Hudson Is it the result Of peace measures, or
war measures?
Of course there can be but one answer to tn ese
questions. The Blue Light Democracy know
well enough that their triumph at the polls,
their riots, their resistance to the draft, their
war upon the Administration, are the only refu-
ges now left to the leaders in the Southern trea
son, the last hope upon which they rely to es-
cape the terrible judgment not only of the Gov
eminent they have assailed, but of the citizens
of their own States whom they have ruined
And let the South but be pressed for six months
to come, as they have been for six months past,
with vigorous war, and the people of the rebe
States will assert again their sovereignty, drive
out from the places Of power the cunning trail
tors who have brought desoation to their doors,
and gladly come back once more into TIE Union.
North Carolina is already inaugurating the
movement, and others will follow when thew
are satisfied that further resistance is useless.
Then fill up the army and press forward the
columns.

Correspondence OF the Mobile Evening News.l
"The game is up. 1t is useless calling for us
men up to forty-hve, for we can't 60. Recon
structon on whatever grounds we can get it, say
l." These startling words, uttered in brisk, con
tident, and shameless tone, awoke me from my
after dinner torpor as | lay back in my chair 10 a
public house at Tuscaloosa. The speaker was
hale, hearty, old-youDg fellow Of torty-two. His
auditors numbering half dozen, were mostly
younger then himself, and apparently as fit food
for powder as any class of robust exempts" as
have come within my vision. The various replies
in answer to the speakers discourse we're fatter-
ing enough to him. One of the submissionsts ex-
claimed: "You're right, John. A id old
Mississippi refugee, with his family and fifty Mig
gers, stopped at my place yesterday and
wanted supplies. Fold him I'd see him IN
purgatory first; to 60 home and defend his own
state, not run off and eat all up. If having to
run and leave everything to the Yankees Amt sub
iugation, I'D like to now what is. It's time this
thing was stopped, and now Pm ordered out, al
though my substitute is with Lee, and must leave
my property to take care OF itself. I'll be id
first"
Such ideas as these have heard recently SO
frequently advanced by men Of property, who
for various reasons, are exempt from duty, and
who have never shouldered musket or carried a
saber, that wealth and patriotism seem incom-
pa;ible. Now, when it becomes imperative to
lend the aid of their strong arms in support of
the cause" reconstruction" sing they aI-soon-
er then expose their precious persons, or relin-
quish an acre of their cherished lands.
