SATURDAY MORNING.. JANUARY III, 1863

The moral effect of the capture of Sa-
vannah has not been as great even as
that of Atlanta. The two together
were no such disaster as the defeat of
Hoods army. If that army had remained
intact, We could have permitted the Fed
cral forces to make as many flying trips
through the South as suited their con-
vcnience, and establish their headquar-
tcrs in Savannah or any other Yankee
towns that they could fairly capture
We do not despair of the efficient reor-
ganization of Hoods army and its ulti~
mate recovery from the losses it has suf-
fered: but its defeats have done more to
produce the existing depression than the
capture of a hundred Savannahs. The
only important loss in that place is the
cotton, which ought to have been dc
strovcd, even if it involved the destruc-
tion of that enterprising New England
city.
The Northern sentiment expressed at
the late peace meeting in Savannah is
only what might have been expected from
the Northern men engaged it. Whilst
it is true that among tho most loyal
citizens and soldiers of the Confede,
racy are men of Northern birth, it
cannot be denied that those who have
como to the South merely for purposes
of trade and traffic arc not infallible ex-
ponents and representatives of the real
sentiments of the Southern people,
This is eminertly true of Savannah. II
has long had more than its proportion
of New England trading adventurers,
who went there with the single idea o.
cotton, and who stamped the cotton idea
upon the whole aspect of society in thai
town. We should have been surprised
bcvond measure if these New England
crs had not produced an Arnold, and ha(
hesitatcd to endorse Major General Sher
man. But their opinions are not OF a
much value to us as their cotton. No
thing in the surrender Of Savannah ha
surprised or mortified us, save the los
of that commodity.

VIVID DESCRIPTION OF A SEA "FIGHr.'
The Wilmington journal, whose editor
must have "been there BEFORE" gives a
graphic and consoling account Of the sea
encounter with the Yankees off that port.
He says:
cit is said that the land forces under
Butler, who came along with Porter to
close up our port, got awfully sea-slck.
They laid down on their backs and on
their stomachs; they grunted; they
groaned; they cursed; they prayed {;
they cast up accounts; they paid tri-
butte to Neptune; they threw up the
coats and the waistcoats of their sto-
machs; they threw up their boots; they
became cataracts; they said New York
they cursed their fathers and their mo
thcrs-likewisc Beast Butler, whom ar
Irish gentleman dcnominated the baste ;
they had high old time; and if they
spoiled our Christmas, it is some com
fort to know that they were as miserable
as human nature could well be. Butlel
himself was off his grog, and the blacE
soldiers looked blue and green, diver
sified by a mottled yellow. A sea-sicl
nigecr brigade is a sight for gods ant
men. If any of them did sink, We hav'
no doubt they hailed it as providentia
delivcrance from their woes, which wer'
intolcrable. An ugly coast is this Nortl
Carolina coast"

ELOQUENT EXTRACT.

The following is a specimen Of South
ern eloquence from late speech in tho
Confederate Senate by the Hon. Gustavus
A. Henry, the "eagle orator" from Ten
nessee; the question being on the joint
resolution, introduced by him in the
Senate, defining the position OF the
Confederate States, and the determine
ton Of Congress and the people to pro-
secute the war till their independence is
acknowledged:
"Re.union with them? No, sir, never!
There is great gulf that rolls between
us. 1t is a gulf Of blood, without shore
and without bottom, and is as insepa-
rable as that which separated Dives from
Lazarus. The mute objects of nature;
our desccrated churches and affairs; our
sweet valleys, drenched in blood and
charrcd by fire, forbid it. The dead
would cry out against it from their cory
beds. The blood of my own sons, yet
unavcngcd, cries to Heaven from the
ground for vengeance. The thousands
who arc resting red in their graves would
awake and utter their solemn protest.
Stoncwall Jackson, Polk, Stuart, Rhodes,
Morgan, Preston, Smith, and thousands
over whose remains monument to the
unknown dead shall be raised, are speak
ing in tones Of thunder against it; and
can it be the living only will be dumb? !?
Sir, those who have died in this war arc
not dead to US.
"'E'en in their ashes live their wonted Rrcs'
"They arc, in the light of their ex-
ample, more valuable than the living
Their spirits walk abroad and stir the
hearts of living men to do or die in the
cause of liberty. We cherish their me-
mory. Weeping virgin and devoted
mothers shall knccl around their topbs
and bsdcw withs their tears the graves
where they sleep. Poetry shall embalm
their memory and minstrelsy perpetuate
their fame forever. We give in charge
their lame to the sw weetest Tyre.
"The historic muse, proud of her trea'
sure, shall march with it down to the
latest sculpture, who, in turn, shall give
bond in stone and ever-during brass to
guard them and immortalize her trust.
The soldiers who have died in this wal
are not only enshrined in the innermost
core of her heart, but to the mind S eye,
are ever in our sight.
! "'On fame's etcrna! camping ground
| Their silent tents spread;
And glory guards, with solemn round,
The biyouac of the dead.'"

OBITUARY OF Mr.. DAyroN.-Thc Pa
ris correspondent of the Balti,are Ame-
ri,un gives us a piece of Yankee new s
about the death Of Mr.. Dayton. lie
says:
"Thc first notice Of the event which
appeared in the Partisan press was in
the france, a Journal devoted to Con-
federate interests, and was from the pen
of Mr.. Slidell, couched in terms of deep
regret and esteem"

PoKrERs GREAT ToRPEDO.-Thc New
York WorM, in an editorial on Portcrs
torpedo, gives the following excellent hit
at the unhappy trick, so "gunpowderish
and pranl1y," which failed to blow down
Fort Fisher:
"Early in the Anglo Chinese war the
English were amused by the Chinese
army. which met them with the sound of
gongs, the braying of trumpets, and q
corps of gymnasts, who performed all
sorts of acrObatic feats, dressed in hideous
costumes. For a time the object of these
remarkable exhibitions was not apparent
to the European army, and it was sup
posed to be a custom OF the Ceicstlals
observed by them in all their battles
nrobablv in the nature of an invocation
to their deitics. After the battle, how.
ever, they captured the general orders Of
the mandarin chief, and found that the
"Ch;ldren of the Sun" were ordered TO
sound their abominable gongs and blow
their trumpets when the "barbar'anS
a, preached, and were promised that the
ciil.rct would be so terrifying to the Eng
lish that they would all fall down from
fear; and then the order stated that their
streeches were so tight that they never
could get up again, and might be easily
captured
1.-THE torpedo at Wilmington evidently
was designed on the same principle and'
no doubt, was intended to produce the
result which the Chinese promised them
selves from the dreadful noise OF their
ef"fs ef the Navy Jaw: did not consider that the
rebels are generally without breeches,
and, consequently, that they could get
up again easily after the fright they ex'
perienccd at the noise Of the explosion
hence the failure. The only way that
the Secretary can make his new inven'
ton work is, to supply the rebels viii !,
tight breeches, so that when they iall
from fear they can be caught before they
are able to recover their feet.

king OF beasts disappeared with them
1t is not possible that ho is still in his
old cage, when Brother Jonathan can
poke the longest kind Of pole into it
every day without eliciting single roar.
We agree for once with w. H. Seward
when'he says that England is responsible
for the present calamitics of this CONT
nent, and that our once prosperous and
happy States are now the scenes of almost
unparalleled bloodshcd and misery, there
eponsibilityrcsts upon Great Britain. The
anti-slavcry party in the Northwould have
died out long ago but for the inspirations
it received from country to which all
Americans were in the habit Of locking
for lessons in civilization and morals.-
By books Of travels, by novels, by songs,
by sermons, by reviews, by newspaper
articles, by Exeter Halls and political
cmissarics, by contributions of money,
by diplomacy, by social and religious in
hucnccs; in fine, by every instrumcntality
that could bc brought to bear upon the
human mind, England has been laboring
for the last thirty years to propcl her
whole moral. weight upon the Northern
mind, so as to instigatc and iniamc it to
sectional hostility against those States
of the Union in which slavery existed.
The most distinguished Southern states
man, on visit to her capital, was osten~
tatiously sighted by the nobility, and a
fugitive slave publicly petted by the
same Duchess of Sutherland who dis
possessed her white tcnantry in Scotland
to convert their farms into shccpwalks.
The South never had friend in England
till this war began! Was all this philan.
thropy? Every child knows that Eng.
land has been the greatest s avc-trader in
the world, and herself planted the insti
tuition here which suddenly became SC
abhorrcnt to her moral sense. Even an
idiot can understand that she only
used anti-slavery as wedge to accom-
plish the disruption of hated and for
midablc power, and hence, now that her
object is accomplished, she preserves
''rigid neutrality" and takes sides with
neither '"belligerent."
But the day of retribution will one day
come. We are beginning to think thai
that day is not far distant. Her hold
upon the magnificent province of Canada
is precarious, and her ancient domination
of the seas may, ere long, be successful,
disputed. We have no doubt she sym
pathizes with "the rebellion" ant
I wishes that it would last forever but /
is only that her own prosperity may b
; built up upon the common ruin of tn
United States and the Confedcracy.
