What is the Future of the coafsaeracy.

From The Charleston Courier, sept. p
Our future is to fight-to fight while
an enemy pollutes our soil-to fight as
long as they deny our rights-to fight
until independence is achieved-to
fight as long as we have men willing TO
battle for homes, for children, for
liberty, for all they hold dear. Wehave
suffered too much, says the Macon
Index, endured too much. lost too
much, to fail now in the achievement
of all for which such a great price was
paid. Hope stHl looms up grandly and
gloriously before US; liberty and honor,
and happiness and prosperity, still lure
US on to the mighty and magnificent
prize for which we struggle; and while
such is the case-whiIe success is al
most in our grasp shall we ignominous-
ly falter2 Never. SoutherneFs be
stout of heart-be frm-be unfalter-
ing. Dare what seems a cruel lot. 1t
only leads to the greater glory. It's
the brave, the unyielding, the deter
mined, that fortune favors. But de-
serve her smile by your gallantry, and
all she has is yours.
INTENDED ENLISTMENT or POLES FOR THE
REBELS
From the Charleston Courier, Sept %.
1t can do now no added injury to re-
print N the Courier the report below
given from the Richmond correspond
ence Of the Constitutionalist
wrote you a short time ago, in re-
gard to a contemplated arrangement
between the Confederate government
and q commission representing a Ger
tain European population. / am now
in condition to state that the desired
entente cordiale has been fully estab-
Eshed
The envoys-consisting, as stated in
a previous letter, of two army officers
and clergyman of the Catholic church
were admitted TO an audience with
the President, and an arrangement
was effected that cannot be otherwise
than conducive to our interests. This
agreement, as | have heard, gives US
the service, most probably at an early
day, Of some thirty thousand soldiers
Of approved valor and of race famous
for military endurance The President
promised to use his influence with the
respective State governments IN the
matter Of securing for those whom the
Commissioners represented as much
land as would suit them for colonizing
purposes. OF course the President
could not guarantee the colonists the
allotment of lands in the States; and.
as the sc2nt Confederate territorial
possessions are for the most part in but
q dubious occupancy Of our arms, it
would have been useless to enter into
any compact by which the immigrating
population would have been compelled
to rely upon o comparatively unpro-
tected section for home. 1t is, how
ever, understood that al those who en-
list in our aFmies-and probably nine
tenths Of the able bodied men among
the COlOEi5ts will do sO-are to receive
the soldiers land bounty, thus meeting
in . measure, the requirements put
forth by the Commissioners, who are
now on their way 10 Europe to carry
out the arrangements Of the treaty.
Understand that there will be no
difficulty IN the departure Of these i'm
migrants from their own country, and
as they are expected to arrive during
the winter months, we may confidently
hope Should nothing occur TO mar the
plan) 10 witness Mt the beginning of the
Spring campaign, q grand army Of
foreign allies OF q race that, centuries
ago. smote the Saracenic powers in
Europe and drove back the tide of
Turkish aggression upon Constan IL
nople.
