The DIsamectIons. Br0IIs and Trou-
bIos, now Prevailing I'm the nonth.
II must be confessed that the rebels
have done Roadrous well so far in keeping
down the outbursts of disafectiqp in their
nids... bsafection has existed from the
s.art:-thst we all knOw-as the 10000
votes for Holden, the peace candidate for
Governor ,4ns North Carolina, and the
course of the Standard newspaper, have
tended to prove. But lstterly, even the
Richmond despotism, as the Augusta, (Ga)
Chronicle calls the Jeff. Davis COVER D.
ment, has not been able to keep down the
rising storm of public discomfort. The
readers Of the Latsltgnesn viii have no.
ticed yesterday morning the ominous
givings out of the ChrOnisIs, in which a
call Is made for some leader who can
command public confidence. and who has
the ability TO. head the ship Of
State towards peace. The Richmond
Congress is now sort of bear garden,
where Foote keeps the friends of JEFF. Da-
Wis in continual hot water, and where an
other member asks to be tried and hung
for treason to the OonfedsEacy. if opposl-
ton to JEFF. Davis attempt to institute >
tyranny be treason. at-s,
shermAu's invasion is largely at the
bottom of all these troubles among the
rebels. It is with then. as it would be
with us were the loyal States in like map-'
ner invaded and threateued. Suppose TIP

Was -oyeruu, and, al rour ports closely
bIoskaded, Gus ndney not worth ata cents
on the dollar, and our capital beleaguered,
would not the COpperheads cry out juSt
as the despairing portion of the rebels are
now crying, and would they not like them
denounce the folly and madness of any
attempt to resist the rebellion7 OF course
they wodId No wonder, therefore, the
rebels begin to realize the depth Of their
extremity, and to turn upon the reckless
and ambitious despots, the broken down
leaders, bankrupt politicians and disap!
pointed Office holders, who have led them
into this scrape.
The temper of the South is shown In the
obstinate refusal of the Alabama legisls-
ture TO provide man or q dollar for the
defence of the State, and also in the fact
that Gov. Watts of that State. along with
Gov. Brown of Georgia, has denounced and
is denounciDg JsR Davis for usurPatiOn.-
The other day the policemen of Selma were
conscripted by confederate officers, when
4 Gov. Watts interfered, declared the police
to be state officers and ordered thefrrelease
and they were all exempted. In the Geor.
| gle lsgislStatk, since the recollection of Mr
Isneoitl has been Known Ia the South, q
Mr.. E1Iard has moved resolutions declar.
ing for an offer Of peace to. the United
States 'on the basis of the great principles
of our common fathers in l776," and re-
questing the Georgia members of the con-
federate congress to use their influence tc
stop "this unnatural strife" ''
The Richmond EsSmiser, and also th'
Sentinel, Is very much put out by suct
resolutions aud signs of disaffectiOn, aut
the former remarks thus: re-. ,
at may be hoped that we have at length
done with such helpless and futile talk
and that nobody ever again will dare tc
say our defense of our homes is an gunnat
ufal strife." By. this time 1t may be PlatI
that there 10 but one road 70 peace, namely
TO make the North weary Of war-es weary
of It as We 9Ie ourselves, long since. i
the legislature Of Alabama also were now
In session, It you'd probably see. the me-
cessity Of reAeemiug itsi late fault, anC
make some energetic effort for the defense
of the state, pursuant to the recommends
tion Of Gov. Watts. In short, il is ut laa
\ plain that We must defend ourselves With
all our force, OF else sink into serfs; ant
we must stand together, or else sink TO-
gether without hoPe Of redemption
The Richmond Ssatnsl follows up th'
strictures of the BsdRiaer with some sever
reflections upon the general course q
