The Rebels Ready to Pay for Intervention.
FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. %
The Richmond Wing of the 2lst says: The
loss OF Vicksburg and the failure at Gettys-
burg are the two events of the year, which
seem to render highly probable long and al
most indefinite continuance of the war.
Apart from the victories We may achieve in
the field. there are but two means of counter
acting the baneful effects of these events and
bringing hostilities to an early close These
are either foreign intervetion, or a determined
and successful opposition by the conservative
masses OF the North to the abolition faction
which has control of the government at Wash
ington.
long and protracted war would prove a
great evil, wholly unmixed with good, for the
longer the war continues the more thoroughly
saturated the southern heart would become

buttons. We want the aid of France. We are
able to pay for it.

is larger than that of any other journal in the
South, and is rapidly increasing, which, to-
gether with the endorsement of its course by
public meetings in different parts of the State,
indicates conclusively that it but expresses the
wishes of the people of North Carolina. Its

Rebel Iron-clads Completed.

NEW YORK. Aug. "a.
The Heralds Washington despatch contains
the following;
A gentleman who left Richmond week ago,
Saturday, Aug. 10, reached this city to-day.
Captains Sawyer and Flynn, whose execution
had been ordered the day previous to his de-
parture, were not executed. Nothing was said
about il publicly, but the sentence was quietly
suspended.
The CONSUMPTION is being rigidly enforced.
Three iron-clad gunboats, the Lady Davis,
Chickahominy and Richmond, are completed,
and three more are building on the James riv-
err. The Richmond is fully manned and ready
for action, and is stationed at Drurys Bluff.
The others are not manned as yet. The James
river, from City Point up, is full Of torpedoes,
similar to that which was exploded under one
OF our gunboats short time since.
The most gloomy feeling prevailed in regard
to affairs at Charleston. Although considera-
bic confidence was felt in Beauregard, there
was little hope of favorable result at that
place, and the minds of the people were pre-
pared for the worst.

cavalry expedition sent from Vicksburg and
