From the SOuth.

New YosK, Feb. l9.-The following are ey.
tracts from rebel papers:
In the Confederate Congress Mr.. Foote of
Tennessee offered resolution to the effect that
President Davis shall, on or before May let,
next, withdraw the present diplomatic agents
from every foreign country the government of
which shall not at that time have agreed TO
recognize the independence Of the Confederacy;
and after that date no foreign coDeule shall be
longer allowed to exercise consular power 'x-
cent upon an exeauGter asked for at the hands
of the Confederate States, and granted by the
same, The resolutions further declare that
the conduct of the Emperor of France in pro-
posing to European powers to unite with him
in mediation, has been highly gratifying both
to the government and people Of the Confed-
crate States.
The tone of Richmond journals generally in
dictate want of hope aud spirit. All prospects
of foreign mediation seem to be given up, and
the present is considered the most critical period
OF the whole war.
According to Richmond papers information is
received there that the entire army OF the PO-
between Washington and Fortress Monroe.
VIcKspuRa, Feb. l3.-The enemy are throw
ing up batteries on the Louisiana shore, with
the supposed purpose Of protecting their men
when they commence the pOntoon bridges across
the river. Our authorities appear to anticipate
an early attack.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMLC, Feb.
l8.-The Richmond Dispatch says editorially
The North are fighting as much for ae!f-pre-
servaton as Southern subjugation; that the
time has passed when the National Govern
ment sought to extinguish the South. The fur
ther prosecution Of the war is to save the
North from the avalanche OF ruin which the
success OF the South must precipitate. Anuth
or article denounces John Van Buren for turn.
| ing political somerset, and repudiates all idea
of mediation, recognition and intervention, az
tending to relax alton OF efforts in filling up the
ranks of the army. It says the present ia
the most critical period of the war.
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1863-02-20

The unanimity and enthusiasm OF the North
was astonishing to the whole world.
Sir, what has wrought this great change in
the sentiment of our northern people2 IL ia
not because they do not hate this unnatural ro-
bellion. II ia not because they have abated ore
jot In their devotion to the Union. IL Is not
because they DO not still venerate the Consti-
tuition. No, sir, il ia for none Of these REASONS.
But II the truth dare be spoken, 1t 10 because
they have lost confidence in Mr.. Lincoln. IL
is because they think the President has deceiv-
ed them. IL ia because they feel that the
President is q mere tool in the hands Of those
men whose record have held up to your view
upon this occasion. IL ia because under the
cOunsels of such men as Hale, and Sumner, and
Chandler. and Phillips, and Stevens, and Love-
joy, and Bingham, and Gddings, aud Greeley,
and Beecher. and Burlingame, and Banks, and
Cassius NJ Clay, and VIM. o. Duvall, the Prec-
ident has changed the war into crusade for
freeing the negroes. Ii Ia because ii has now
become apparent that Abolitionism has COM
pletely swallowed up Republicanism. Aboli-
tionism under President Lincoln has become
the whale, and Republicanism the Jonah Alas!
alet! II y0u seek for pooE Jonah under this Ad-
ministratipn, you will fad him 10 The whale'u
| belly.
Sir, when the Democracy, who had rushed
almost blind folded into the support OF the Ad-
ministratiOn, saw, TO their inter amazement,
untolded, one after another, the mad schemes
OF the President TO AbOitiOnize this war, they
ieIt that they had been wofully betrayed. Then
II was, that they saw the very prominent meas
ure OF tho Administration tended rather to
strengthen than to crush out the rebellion.
so tar as tho putting down of the rebellion
Ia concerned, could anything have been more
nnwlee than the abolition of slavery 10 the
District OF Columbia2 Its effect wac, instead
OF crushing out the rebellion, to crush out COM
plttely the Union sentiment of the South.
For long time the ultra men OF the South
had predicted that as soon as RepublcaDiem
obtained the power, its very first act would be,
20 abolish slavery in the District of Columbia.
1t was a betrayal Of the Union men in the South,
as well as the Conservative men 10 the North.
10 has done moro to strengthen the arms OF
Jeff. Davis than the battle of Bull Run. Bu,
being the first act in this great Abolition drama
Mr.. Lincoln had to submit to It,

CINcHNATI, Feb l8.--A special dispatch to

yention assembled here to. day for the purpose
G., making nominations for the August elections.
The House refused them the use OF the hall by
o decisive vote, and they rented the Theater
Delegates from forty counties were present
David Merryweather was elected chairman.
On taking the chair, he said he hoped the con-
vention would do nothing that good loyal citi-
zens should not do. In the meantime regl-
lDent of soldiers, with fixed bayonets, formed
ia front of the Theater. When the call Of the
counties was IN mIde Col Gilbert read the fol
lowing order:
"Reliable information having been received at
these headquarters that number OF emissatles
are in this city, it is ordered that all persons
now here, not residents or members OF the
Legislature, or officers Of the State Govern
ment, forthwith leave their names OF these
headquarters, accompanied with satisfactory
references as 20 their loyalty to the GoVerh-
ment"
Col. Gilbert took the stand, and said, to fs-
cilitate proceedings and save the Convention
trouble, he wished his Adjutsnt would take the
names of delegates He said: There are those
here who We know 10 be rebela OF the oorsJ
kind. Under the disguise Of the name of Demo
Gratis, YOU have assembled here with the hope
of perfecting your designs, but it will not
do Repudiated by the Legislature, who have
refused you the nse of their hall, Democratic

within the limits Of my command, and to avoid
difficulty you will disperse to your homes and
In future desist from oil such attempts to pre-
cipitate civil war upon your State.
After Colonel Gilbert had spoken, an attempt
was made to offer resolutions, which were
respectfully declined by Gilbert The BODY
then adjourned. There is some excitement N

A warning to copperheads.


The following extract from a recent
letter Of the officers of an Eastern rcgi.
ment, (l5th N. H.) to the people Of
their State, has more than local inter
est, and is equally applicable to other
communities than that for which it was
intended:
"Our army has a claim upon the
moral support of every man who re-
mains at home, and that support will
be most vigorously exacted.
"If not given willingly now, We lift q
warming voice against the dreadful re,
tribution that awaits all recreants when
our triumphant hosts shall return to
their homes, Whose soweth to the
wind shall reap the whirlwind."
