DECIDEDLY COMFORTING The rebels
make . capital hit when, in order to show
the superior advantages Of the South over
the North, they refer to the fact that we
have large shipping interest which is at
the mercy of all the rebel privateers that
can be fitted out in England and escape the
United States cruisers! There is surely q
comfort sometimes in having nothing
They say they have no shipping afloat, and
consequently we cannot retaliate in kind.
Then again, this shrewd Richmond paper
dwells with apparent satisfaction upon the
contrast we present Of our rich valleys"
our numerous villages" our garden
spots" and our "grand cities, teeming with
Oriental wealth." as against the sparssly
settled South, with its few cities aud villa
ges for the enemy to plumber. That is
pretty good. especially as the South ID so
poverty stricken that we are compelled to
send food thousand miles, not only to
feed our conquering armies, but to keep
the poor Of the South from starvation The
advantage Of having all trade stopped by .
blockade over the occasional loss Of . ves-
sci by pirate, is peculiarly striking; and
the advantage Of having few people to de-
lend vast extent Of country 10 time Of
war is emphatically refreshing. These adj
vantages grew out Of slavery, and hence
Mr.. Davis perverts the objec, of the rebel
lion when he says it is not slavery they are
fighting for. These advantages would be
lost with the destruction of slavery, and
the Confederacy would soon be no better
OFT than other powers.-CiE. Gazette.
