10 the Confederate Congress Friday, the Hon. W
n H. Smith of North Carolina, introduced q bill to
amend the act to pat eud to the exemption from
military service of those who have heretofore furnished
substitutes, approved 4nuary 9Th, 1868:
The bill proposes that the act shall not apply to pro-
ducers who, on and previous to the lst OF January
1864, engaged either BY their manual labor
or experimenting the labor OF Others in raising food
for the Subsistence OF man.
MIR. Smith took the ground that it Or Just to i'm
pair the subsistence of the country and the OF
feeding the army and those who may be left at home
Ii intended to br ak up entire farms by the con-
scripuon OF those engaged in their culture, the act
Gently passed would work incalculabe mischief If
were not able to subsst the army without resort
ing to impresment it would be making too heavy q
draft upon the agricultural labor OF the country. He
cited the instance OF who had parted wi bis

Southern Nationality.


/ The Eaglshman who represented President Davis al
hhsvDg created nation, grossly ignorant of the
history and character of the Southern people The
tonay of the Sou b. distinguished from that of the
m orh, does not date with the commencement of tbe
1t had grown up long before secession, and was
the result of thousand Influences, the action of some
which felt far back the settlement of the colo
MES.
The essentially different character CT the elements
which originally peopled the two sections Was perhaps
not of itself sufficient to create two nations. But in
that difference lay the seed OF widening dssim
arity and gradually, through the effect of time, dis
lance, diversity of soil and climate, opposition of in
erests and antagonistc traits, habits sentiments opin
ions and institutions, the Yankee and the Souherner
became ultimately far removed, in every particular
from each Other the Englishman is from the French
man.
1t is in these facts that the future phosophic hiso-
rian will seek the true causes of secession. Abolition
and the tariff were little than the occasions of that
movement II these questions had arisen, the
suit later, would have been the Some
other subjects would have been taken up the inme-
date ground OF dissension, and the two people would
have been parted as completely they are parted
now.
10 word, secession was the logical consequence OF
all that had gone before-he legitimate result OF Gods
own divine political economy.
let it must be confessed that, until this var, the
nationality OF the Southern mind never complete
10 many respects aud in thousand ways, the Sou tb
was dependent upon the North in relation to which
it occupied almost provincial position. Where there
s dependence there cannot be perfect Individuality
necessary to isolate completely and to d. ae
sharply the boundaries Of national diosynera-
sy God, in his goodness, scot 1T, and We are now
people to ourselves while the very rim of cur skirts is
free from the contagion of Yankee iufuence
This nationality we should cherish almost dearly
as our liberty The two, indeed, are intimately
nected With each other.
1t will be one of the objects Of this Journal to
courage the expression of peculiar nationality in
all the departments of lie, but especially in those of
literature and art. This, doubtless, is possible only to
q certain extent If national sentiment did not al
ready exist it could not be created or cultivated aud
in general if it is really genuine, it would fad utter
aGce beside and without the will But we can at heart
disc untensnce all imitation and hold up before tera
ry the TACT that by writing from their own i'm
pulses and in utter inde enndence of all foreign mods,
they best subser7s the interests of their country

GENERAL GRANT's OPINION OF HIS own
SITUATroy.-A gentleman from the front
tells the following good story Of General
Grant: A visitor to the army called upon
him one morning, and found the General
sitting in his tent smoking and talking to
one of his staff officers The stranger ap
preached the chieftain and inquired Of him
as follows: General, if you flank Lee and
get between him and Richmond, will you
not uncover Washington and leave il a prey
to the enemy2" General Grant, discharged
q cloud OF smoke from his mouth, inditfer'
emily replied, "Yes, reckon So" The
stranger encouraged by reply, propounded
question two. "General, do you think Lee
can detatch sufficient force from his army
to reinforce Beauregard and overwbelm
Butler?" '' Not doubt Of H." replied the
General. Becoming fortified by hissuccess
the stranger propounded question number
three as follows: General, is there not
danger that Johnston may come up an(
reinforce Lee, so that the latter will swin(
around and cut off your communication
and seize your supplies2" "very likely,
was the cool reply ofthe General, and be
knocked the ashes from the end Of bis cigar
The stranger, horrihed at the awful fate
bout to befall Gen. Grant and his army
made his exit, and fastened to Washington
to communicate the news. .,
