while they constantly pursuing course calcu-

Government. They not pleased with anything
that President Davis does, and the Editors seem to

if they considered the rest of mankind fools Such
papers have done more to demnralize the people
than all yankeedom combined. and the result Ito

remembered that the Editors of the Charleston
Mercury and Richmond Examiner 'soriginal
secessonists,' and original men, it is enough
to excite disgust and contempt. These papers
sometimes talk about toryism in North Carolina. but
are proud to say that North Carolina contains no

The following from the New York Times shows
how the yankees pleased and gratifed at the

The Wrangling Of the Rebels in the Hour of

this crisis is very bad sign for the Coufederacy.
1t is certainly bad state of mind for the rebels of
Carolina and Virginia to be ill., in view of Shermans
campaign. 1t Is the decentralization of spirit which
might be expected to follow such crushing series
of defeat as the rebels have lately suffered. Their
disaster at Wilmington will increase it, aud other
blows hope soon to give. must make it still worse.
