NO SUBMISSION.

NO SUBMISSION.
The Richmond Wing of January has the fol-
lowing:
We are not ready for the yoke and that our
enemies will fiud TO their cost We have still
within us, TO greates extent than We ever had
before, the elements of war and victory. We
have the men and the riateTieI, and the men have
the heart TO use the rnaterieL When we warn
our countrymen against Submission, We by no
means mean to imply that there IL any danger %
it We merely wish to remind them that our
enemies will be satisfied with nothing less, ana
that. therefore. it is useless to repne. -
We will do our people the justice to say that
even in their hours of darkest dependency they
have never dreamed of submitting. They can
not afford TO do it, and therefore they never think
of it. What we would now impress them is
the folly of suffering themselves 10 be depressed
by any amount of bad for,une--since, bad or
good they must play out the play in which they
are engaged.
What is there TO make us more despondent At
this moment than we have been for the last yesrI
We have already taken occasion To say that so
far as territory is cnocerned, the Yankees hold
much less than they did at that time-that. so far
victory is concerned. the balance is largely in
our fayor-that the Yankees have, during the
campaign, lost between three and four hundred
thousand men--that they have oHly gained Sa
vannah, while they have given up all the country
between Tennessee and the Gulf Of Mexico.
So far, then. from responding, We ought TO
enter upon the new year with feelings of more
than usual cheerfuness. The Yankees have
tried their best and we have not succumbed
If they could not subdue US with such a force as
that they had this summer. there is no reason to
fear that they ever will subdue US at all. Our
people have not yet felt the extremity of war as
other people have. We have not yet been driven
cut of all our cities, or even all our seapOrts.
But were we expelled FROM them all, it would
still be for despaifiDg Many people
have been driven to the forest aud the noun
tains, and yet have succeeded in the end. We
must make up our minds To endure everything.
and to count as clear gain all that we are not
stripped Of Then will We be prepared for all
that may happen, let it come when it may. So Ear
we have hardly been touched OR people, re
covered from the lethargy into which they were
thrown by the events OF the latter part OF last
year, estimated all this properly They ha. e
made their minds up and will not back out.
THE BUTLER PORTER EXPEDITION
The Richmond Wing Of January 81. has the

THE NEW YEAR
The Richmond Sentinel Of January % has the
following:
If, in the hour Of trial, our flesh should grow
weak and our spirits faint, let Us transport our
selves in Imagination TO that day in the future
when We shall 10 back upon these scenes and
realize the feeline Of manly pride, or the senti-
ment OF sheme. winch will possess Us then, &C
cording as we acquit ourselves now.
1t will be Just matter Of virtuous exultation to
the brave soldiers to whom their country will be
indebted for its Independence, if they shall be
able in that day to saw that they not only met
the shock of battle with a courage that the world
praises, but, what was still more difficult and
still more to their honor, they endured with pa

forttude and weariness, the discomforts, the sac

with which the beluteOus maids and venerable
matrons Of the land shall crown them as their

honor that would outweigh a dukeiOm.
