Southern soldiers are absent without leave II,
OF course, unquestionably true. II appears
now that these absentees have not all gone
home-home was not SAFE enough place; but
large numbers Of them have taken refuge In
the wild mountain region that covers the whole
western part of the Old North State. There
they are banded for mutual protection In such
numbers that the rebel government. after
many attempts, has relinquished the hope Of
bringing them to terms, and leaves them alono.
Expeditions sent against them make the matter

earnestly and violently opposed to the re.
Virginia men who went into tho con!ederacy
seem to be the only ones who still stand by it;
but the latest announced measure of the rebel
government will ALLEVIATE even these. II is
notorious that the people of Virginia were
opposed to secession; they were in favor Of
keeping their State in the Union; but Vir-
gir.a was carried out by power stronger
the slaveowning and slavebreeding interest.
The immense capital of this interest carried
that State for the sake Of self-preservaton,
and now Davis aims deathblow at that i'm
mense capital. He proposes to free and arm
three hundred thousand negroes-that is, he
proposes to abolish slavery; for the armed
and trained negroes Will outnumber two to
one the armed and trained whites Of the
South. Thus Davis shows to the Virginia
slayeholders-and, indeed, to all slsvehold-
srs--and shows in terribly emphatic way,
that the slaveholding interest ia no longer with
the rebellion. He has made them the enemies
Of his government and his cause.
It is clear that the immense unity Of purpose
that once gave such strength to the rebellion
is gone. Not only is the South divided on this
question Of ACCOMPLISHMENTS only do ito
leaders all pull different ways on the great sub
ject at issue, but It ID scene Of general and
universal distraction. II is q social and politi-
