The Richmond Sentinel contains very i'm
portant editorial believed to be from the pen
of JEFF. Davis, Secretary Seward is reported
to have sent 1t to all the foreign ministers as
showing the complete exhaustion of therebel- /,
lion, and consequently the rebels are no long
err entitled to consideration as belhgerents.-
It says-"Our late reyerses have done much
towards preparing our people for extreme
sacrifices If subjugated. The question Is
simply whether we shall give for our own use,
or whether the Yankees shall take for theirs.
It would be more glorious to- devote our
means to success than lose them as spoil to
the enemy. Our situation, stripped of our
property, but masters of our government,
would be Intimately better than If despoiled by
the enemy aud wearing his bonds. Subjuga-
ton is an horror that embraces all other hor-
rors. Troubles now are upon us. Great ex-
igencies surround US. We need all Tour
strength and wisdom. Let there be a confer
ence of our wise men. Let there be'a calm
investigation of our wants. Then let all OBJ
staeles to the employment of all our resources
be removed. f4 81 s'as 'e@fes ~oA
So long as we have man or dollar let the
call for them be honored. i 1t would be adding
disgrace to our misery If we were overcome
without exhsusting every resource of defence.
II LILO 0ON6EnAltub sucGcLiHtucS tHdb ~ uCCuS
our lands, houses, negroes, horses, money or
ourselves it must have them. If Providence
condemns to us master let it moi, be a. Yam
kee. OF all people on earth we have most
reason to loathe and deride them. Any terms
with any other would be preferable to subju-
cation by them. srss .55a 81 vIEs5 syeas
If statesmanship cannot save, it can palliate
our misery by saving us from the Yankees
Our people wonld intimately prefer favorable
alliance with European nations" s. a5egiss
The Richmond Enquirer, after commenting
upon the above, says :-If it be necessary to
convince the world that we are lighting for
selfgoveruent of the whites that we should
liberate the negroes, and that liberation
should secure our recognition and guarantee
of England and France to our, independence,
we believe the people of these States would
not hesitate to make the sacrifice. The conse-
quences Of emancipation would fallgupon the
negro. The act would be one of necessity, not
lofchoice, taken against our Judgment and con-
yictions, but to save us from the horrors Of a.
prolonged war and the disgrace, ruin and de-
struction involved in the success Of the enemy.
