that Lincoln riH Rerer negotiate With the
government of the Confederate States till he
is ready to acknowledge their Independence
Neither can we attach much Importance
to the reiterated expression of an intense
desire on the part of our Yankee brothers
to find out what we mean and what we
want The pursuit of this kind of knOwl-
edge is not attended by so many difficult
ties as to make its attainment at all prob
lematical. We know that the moral
sense of the Yankees is pretty etfectual-
ly blunted, and that they have lost the
little capacity they ever possessed, to
discriminate between right and wrong,
but, even Yankee would know what a
man meant who should try to eXpel a
thief from his kitchen, or "a burglar from
his bedchamber Then rhy does Lincoln
send his enlissaries here! Simply because
he knows that if the confederacy held
out for another campaign, her triumph
is assured and our independence won; be
cause he knows that his available physi-
cal resources are absolutely exhausted;
that neither the cheap enthusiasm of the
populace over magnitied victories, and
inconsequentials successes; nor tue frantic
appeals Of all the newspapers III the
land; nor the subtle persuasions of Sew
ard and other priests and prophets of
black republicanism; nor his own super
numerous calls and proclamatiOns, con
aid him in anything in getting together
another army even half as great as that
which he launched upon the South in the
first days of May last Hemust, therefore,
either induce the Confederate gorrenmem to
surrender, on By some means break mp the
league OF these states; or, by prOrUg to tie
North the utter hopelessness Of restoring
their Sdcram9taI aniOn, ercept BY fighting
for il, soresuscitate the wor spirit, as to on
able him toraiSe The three hundred fh0Hsaad
men contemplated by his last cali, else he
will be broken down before the next sum-
mer begins, and all the magnificent pow
er, and pompous military parade Of the
Yankee nation will fade away,
and leave not track behind.

Press Dispatch.

New YORK, Jan. 25.-The Richmond
Whig thus states the result of the South
making war upon the nation, attributing
the horrors to the Yankees: Our out
ragged women, our homeless babes, our

homes, leagues of desolated land, our
battered cities, onr slaves in arms
against us, our prisoners murdered in
cold blood or pining year after year in
northern dungeons, all tell us what the
Yankeeis at heart.
Gold has reached in Richmond $500

The Mobile Register of Jan. 18th says:
The people absolutely decline to bet with
the odds forty to one Oh the success of
our cause, and the honesty of our govern
