Sent mel, says The Houston Telegraph JAN
nary 24th has attracted no little atieniionin
Richmond, II having been attributed ~ least
IN sujstance, if not in Language, TO the
President. We doubt if he had anything
20 40 with il, still from the comment 1t has
excited East of the river, we deem II or
enough importance 10 justify th' space we
give 4. Mr. Seward, Yankee Secretary OF
sfate had il copied and sent officially To all
Yankee Ministers at foreign courts:
a POSSIBLE 1t becomes us
coofly and calmly 10 look into the circum-
stances OF our condition, and adopt with
tirmdess and energy such a policy as wis
dom may point out and our necessity con-
stra,n( 1t Is childish TO whine under
misfortune. 1t is cowardly to sink un-
der its 1t is absurd TO be enfecbed by it.
A orive man struggling with adversely is
wot by ofspeciaI admiration-a spectacle
for gods and men.
VIC think our late reverses have done
muck towards prepairing' the minds OF our
peOole Cor the most extrem sacrifices if
they sha be adjudged necessary TO the sue
GERS III otr cause. And in truth they are
no s.cr.G,es at all when compared with our
simply whether we shall give for our own
uses, ot+whether the Yankees shall take for
theirs. Subjngation means emancipation
and 90 lfscati0n.
All our servants and all our property
y;efied up to assist in the defense OF our
cnnntfy would mean no more but it would
be sier more glorious to devote our means to
our success than to lose them as spoils to
the edt my. Our situation, too, stripped of
our pr perty but master ofthe Government
would De infinitely better than if despoiled
by ilis enemy and wearing his bonds
Thss, views have long received the theo-
retieal assent of our people. They are now
opr pra stical realizing conviction thou
sand pyejudices, a thousand consecrated
dogmas are now ready to be yielded rs the
hidaiAg5of necessity. Any sacrifice Of opin-
ion and sacrifice of property any surrender
Of prejsSiice, II necessary to the defeat of
our en- mies, is now the watcbword and re-
ply Subjugation is horror that embia-
ces u other horrors, and adds enormous
calami5ies Of its own. The people see This.
They nave vivid perception Of it. They
are ready on their part forthe duties which
il impIes.s Now our authorities, State and
Confederate, rise to the level OF the great
