SUBMISSION.


SUBMISSION.
The London Times New York correspondent
In his letter says
That the proongaiion of tho struggle may
within five or six months wear out the South |,
candidly speaking, believe by no means impos-
aibe. Heroes of the Lee aud Davis stamp may
choose to break rather than to bend, and for them
death or exile will be the more bearable lot ;
but il resistance in the field is overcome, do
really incline to believe that men will be found
in the South willing to put forward or TO accept
proposals either OF submission or compromise !;
and II the two factions Of these disunited States
can ever come to terms and the implaoable
leaders of the Secession movement are provi-
dentially removed, the pacifcation and conoilia-
ton Of the rebel districts may turn out less diff
cult q task than the people are now fam to iui-
agine. The States of Georgia, Alabama, South
Carolina, and especially North Carolina, may
eventually come under the management of the
Washington Government with no greater trouble
than Maryland and Missouri, IL it so be that the
Government fluids plausible solution to the
slavery question: matter which, to my mind
IL not 80 very difficult
1.-THE loves of Multitude" says the old
Italian statesman, "are shortlived and feeting,
aud SO are their hatreds and rancours Also"
For my own part, have found the Americans
as tickle and Inconsistent a race as any can be, so
only point to which they stick, most of the
Northerners and also many Of the SOutherners,
is the preservation Of the Union the glorifcation
OF their big country and nation-a country and
nation, as Mr.. Beecher elegantly expressed him
self in one of his late addresses, which is to walk
among the pgmy States Of the Old World "as
an elephant treads among mice"
AS symptom Of the disposition on the part
OF the South to rclent we may take their slack
ened energies in deeds of guerrilla warfare.
On the whole, conclude that the South seems
to exhibit signs of WEAKNESS and dependency,
and peace, II it were offered on plausible terms,
might be hailed as prOvidential deliyerance.

NOVEL TURKEY STUFFIHG.-When the rebel
prisoners aud their quarters, at Camp Douglass,
Chicago, were examined recently, a number of
pistols, drks, tools Of various kinds, and O con-
siderable sum Of money, was found among them,
or seoreted in their barracks. The query as to
how the articles were struggled in was a ques.
ton that must be investigated. Hence a more |
rigid scrutiny was made Of all packages that |
came into camp for prisoners. The first article !
that came In was plump, fat turkey, nicely |
dressed and stuffed, which came from Kentucky |
in box. Upon examination, in the centre Of
the dressing, or ''stnfling" small homeopathic |
vial was found, neatly corked aud sealed, which,
npen being opened, was found to contain a fifty |
dollar government greenbaok,
neat, square piece Of head cheese was re-
ceiVed three or four days later, inside Of which |
was found $40 in greenbacks, very securely pro.
tected from moisture In similar manner. Ten |
dollars were found in the middle Of loaf or
cake sent one of the prlsoners-evidenty doubled |
across the end of a case knife blade, aud showed |
to the centre of thu cake.
