soldiers graves, but without stain upon
their shields, immortal in history and
song, liberated forever from human
malice and rancor, they may bless the
sharp steel that saves them from the
living death Of shame and subjugation.
But if they fall, they viii fall like
Samson, dragging down with them the
pillars of the Philistine temple. Their
grave will be the grave Of the prosperity
and the liberties Of their enemies. Their
enemies may appropriate their. sunny
land, but it will only be a Jamaica or
st. Domingo. Fanaticism, having worked
its work Of ruin here, will then turn
upon the North and breed social, reli-
.gious and political convulsions there that
will ultimately compel a military des.
potism. The Puritans will not always
be permitted, even in the Northern States,
to give the law in politics and morals ;
and at their own doors the tide Of
blood, ebbing from the South, will yet
crimson every Northern household.

ing, just as if the old days of log cabins
and hard cider were here again. They
appear to have fallen asleep under the
administration Of Martin Van Buren,.
and never to have become thoroughly
awake. And while they arc postponing
every bill that can be useful in this
emergency, the enemy is raising heaven
and earth to recruit his armies.
The disasters which we have suffered
of late arc not only not irreparab ble, but
they are not so great as Others we have
suffered Oh other occasions. But the
people have been more depressed by
them than they ever were before, be-
cause they had been flattered with hopes
Of peace by persons who well knew that
there could be no peace short of submis-
sion and enslavement. The fit of de-
preston has been longer and more vio-
lent than formerly, because they see
that Congress to which they naturally
turn for encouragement trihing on the
very edge Of the abyss with the reck.
less disregard of their situation which
prompts sailors, when the ship is about
to go down, to break open the spirit room
and drown their fears in liquor. They
see little hope in that quarter. Congress
is, in fact, assisting the enemy by en-
courasing the disposition to croak, which
seems to have besct the whole country.
A little prompt action, slight display
of resolution, few words to keep up
the confidence of the people, would work
wonders. Cannot the Congress arouse
itself and become equal to this task?

If the miserable croakers who, within
the last three weeks, have been convert
ing Richmond into perfect Frog-Pond,
viii, take the trouble to readVIr. E. A.
Pollard's ''Results Of Ten Months OBJ
scrvation in the Enemy's Country" pub
lished in the Examiner Of Monday, they
would probably feel ashamed of their
unmanly fears, if they have not alto>
gether lost the power of blushing. Mr..
Pollard enjoyed the most ample oppor-
tunities Of judging, being a sort of pri-
soner at large, living at hotel, and mix
ing and conversing freely with all sorts
of persons--political, private and mill
tary. Among great many things Of
much interest, he tells us that the Yam
KEGS arc On the point of exhaustion in
the recruiting business-that their last
draft of three hundred thousand brought
in butseventy thousand-that the larger
portion of recruits since Lincoln's pro-
clamation has been made Of negroes
that Grants army, in the lines of which
he spent six days, is composed of ne
groes, in the proportion of three negroes
to one white man--that the next draft will
fail more signally than any which have
preceded it-that a conscription must
necessarily be resorted to-and that then
the war must break down. Such, he
saws. is the universal belief in the North.
All parties agree that the only hope of
subduing the South lies in the desire OF
the South to get rid of the war, which
they all hope will lead to its submission
before it becomes necessary to enforce a
conscription. The vote of all the armies
around Richmond in the Presidential
election was but eighteen thousand, there
being only that number of native born
or naturalized white men in it; an over
whelming proof of the utter distaste the
Yankees have for campaigning, and an
index of the trouble which conscrip.
ton, calling for all classes, is sure to
produce. But before that time, the Yam.
KEGS hope the Confederates will submit
croaking and peace resolutions in this
ouaite having induced them to believe
that we are on the point Of caving in. In
