BRLUss0Ns OF EmE NORTH.
We have Been no little amused st manF Of the
statements made by the Northern press Of &
great change in public sentiment, Of terrible
destitl.ion among the people, Of famine in the
armies, Of q scarcity OF Eools, ege IN the South.
These stories are generally bons to them By
some ;Taiiorous refugee from the Coufederaey,
and saising .hsm with avidisy, the PaTsgrsphist
psgadss them before the world IS relisbls infor-
nation, worthy Of full credit, aad invariably
concludes that We are q coEquered people, with
but few Of the necessariss Of Iifs, Nit5 none but
discrsEEissd sad dissatisfied defenders IN shs
/ fald, and ready to submit to Yankee rule and
sbsndon cur PaTpose, declared Gs the commence
msnt Of cur dificalti9s and rsi.sTzsed il every
ooneeiTa5.s way AID proper tins since, Of est2b-
lishinfg cur Independents and Government
That many Of tbs people Of the North believe
TIE fables with which they are furnished and &C
espt tie couclusioas Of shsir su5hors. We have
no doubt. They believe hem, perhaps, because
tbsy get bat little Information IS 20 ihe true
sIzIe Of things, perhaps because they wish il to
be 50. But tia. respectable journalists can be
50 crsduloas, o., as we think is the ease, publish
them b bolster up tie spirits OF lbeir people,
themselves being aware Of lheir ansE8thfulnsss,
isa mltteE Of no Hals astoaishmous. In the
South the tales are published, read and laughed
At and the ggjibiIi.y Of people lzas would be-
iisro tlsm pisisd.
IF tie people Of the North were not willully
bhad, hey would not be so ulacccunfzbly *

partisan hacks who have brought upon both

We are zaJia&ed with tie sprig Of ccrEdsacs

We are content that the people cf The North
should believe, for ;be present, the imsgBiag9
Of tba weak seals that 2y from among Us.
Their being deceived now wiz work good in the
