THE CouINE DELUGE.

Some month OF more since, the New York
Herald announced to tbs people Of the E5rth
that N the event Of the failure of GRANTS mag
nffcsnt campaign against Richmond. they
might den look out for the deluge. Judging
from the signal failETs which 10 h1s thus far met
with in his great snd hazNdouI enterprise, as
well As from the suddea and unprecedented rise
IN the price Of gold 10 New York, We are forced
70 The conclusion that TIE forty days and nights'
rain has comnenced falling. We consider the
fsss Of the North as fixed AID doomed. The
grssnbsek wealth Of the people is turning to
ssbss in their pockets. the nation is bsnkTUpsed,
owing 9 large foreign debt which gresnbseks
via not Equidlie, and gsuAt poverty and grim
despair stand up as CHASTITY spsetsrs before the
startled gaze Of The nisesgenstiug fsnstes- Ths
UIemonisury symptoms Of the delazs are upon
Ten AID IN their dismAy they know not what
20 do in order that they may be saved.
We can bat feel tia; the day Of retribution,
fer which the down-Icdden and oppressed pso-
pie Of The sonth has 50 long prsyed, is Close at
hand. Az compared with Is, The Northern pso-
pie have not yet felt any Of the hsTdships, bur
.heus and cruelfss Of this wal, bit their time
has nov cone. The fate to which they had
doomed rs, that is to poverty, slavery and
death, they must nov encounter themselves,
while We Of the, Confedsrscy, occupying q proud
pre-tminenes "a The worlds esteem, can stand
alOof and witness with eOmPlaeeney and with
cut regret tie awful sbiPwTeek to which they
and their fortunes are doomed.
During the progress Of The war the condue4
Of the Yankee people has been such as to in
sure fhsn, in the event Of iheir fsilure At con-
cues and sabjugafion, not only everlasting
Disgrace, bui TIE seorn and contempt Of man
Kind. Even their English abolition cousins,
VIC hsFe, through them, accomplished their
he2ssh purpose Of ssvsring the UniOu and in
a ssriOns blow upon republican institu-
lions, win no longer hold them IN any favor or
extend to them a sympashising hand. The Yam
KEGS themselves, no doubt ere this, have diseov-
cred that they have been made The dupes and
blind tools Of their more canning friends on the
Other side Of the Atlantic Through shsD the
subtle Stass craft Of Earopsaa politicians and
Europsan princss has doneits n~siafiouI wOtk. I:
has not only murdered the Monroe docsrine, but
il has severed in twain The Great Republic
and vel nigh destroyed be hopes Of liberty
and freedom On earth.
Fer these crimes he fsnasics Of the North
Tll be held to a fearful seeouai By an i~nfuriatsd
sOple and il We are net mistaken IN the signs
he timss, the present year viii witness a
"a CT tenor "A the Eerlh Eneh as France
eT san even n The darkest days Of her revO-
p Civil eomnotion ard mob violence viii
the place Of law ard order, and universal
, viz sweep over The land. A warfare
nPeTeriy and wealth labor and esPiisl,
e inevitable, as he necessary rssult Of then
failure At our subj0gstion. But while al this
is going on--while The wicked and hellborn fs
naiics ere struggling in the delUge which thsy
have invoked upon themselves, we COnfedeEstes,
he NOAH and his household, viii be riing on
he bosom Of he aood in the ark Of safety.
