the all powerful Yankee nation. II We

all talk and nothing else, designed 10 de-

war The signs Of exhaustion are so pal
pable that they. cannot be mistaken by
rhe least experienced eye.
In the first place, the New York World
tells us, what we had previously heard
from source entitled to credit, that the
draft has proved a complete failure, not
having secured the services of 10000
men, all told, throughout the whole Yam
kee States Now these 10000 men will
go but very short way to till up the gap
made in the Yankee ranks by the cam
paign Of 1868, at Charlottesville, at Get
tysbugg, at Chckamauga, at Vicksbur@.

New York Herald revealed the fact that

Selling several hundred thousand bales
OF cotton known 10 exist In that State,
which it deemed essential to support
the credit Of the Yankee finances. -
This is 4 most important revelation -
Ii was hoped by the Yankees that
this cotton would be sold in Europe

money thus acquired, the credit of their
Government would he sustained. But
the enterprise has failed and the re-

in the imagination Of Seward and their
editors. Their reat strength is not
greatly superior to ours.
