A Voice From Alabama.

The Hon. D. Z. Humphreys, who has
abandoned the rebel cause has issued an
address to his fellow citizens OF Alabama,
some portions Of which the public have
already seen. Speaking Of an alliance
with some foreign Power, he says:
"Lct it be submitted to the candor of the
people everywhere if there is wisdom or
sound policy in separating from our own
people, and throwing the country under
the protection Of foreign Government, or
in seeking an alliance with Power that
would hold Us in suhiertlon to its will -
As long as the political construction re
maiued, the South never was at the mercy
or will Of the North ~
Mr.. Humphreys seems 10 diffor from
many Of the people Of the North as to the
restriction Of our liberties, for he says:
"kud | am satisfied that the State Of
Alabama can make peace upon terms Of
equa,ty in the Uuion. The property Of
the country may be saved, aud above all
the honor OF the State and the freedom O
the people may be secured by peace. l
/ have 10 argument or excuse to oacr to
those who presumpluous!y and arrogantly
say that the Southern States can make
no terms with the y, States Government
Such are without reason and are blind to
facts Nature has bound the South to the
United States Government, and the work
of man has followed out in all the improve
ments that have been made, the great de,igr
Of Nature. How can Tennessee scperate
herself from Kentucky, or Alabama sep.
crate from Tennessee; or how cen The
South get along without the ports Of New
Orleans, aud Pensacola. and Mobile -
Or how can the States Of Missouri, Hi
nyis Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan
Ohio enjoy the free, unre stri,ted unmoles
ted navigation OF the Mississippi without
common law regulating the intercourse
and that regulation itself, with the view
Itertained, amO lnts to Uuion Th
great Northwest is unwilling to dissoly
the old Union, and they make common
cause with the Feat and Middle to hol
all together,

Southern Women.

The correspondent of the TfiJwne, an
abolition paper, in one of his letters from
'ennessee, writes as follows OF Southern
women: "i shall never be done ndmring
the patriotic faith and undying dev votion of
