CAPABILITIES OF TIE SOITH
FOR RESISTENCE.
southern EdeaS--"The Vast In
terror Ofthe south unCONquer-
ablc--llistOriCalP Parallels.
From the Richmond Sentinel

No territory is SO exposed to superficial
and slight wounds as ours, none better de-
Tended by nature from deep and mortal
wounds Much Of our vast interior is al
most inaccessible and mpregnable Our
ocean and gulf coasts and the margins of our
territory along our many naylgable rivers,
are open to invasion and occupation by any
enemy possessed of large navy and mercan-
tile marine.
Especially was this the case when we be-
gan the present war. We had no navy, few
forts, and but little artillery or ammunition,
while the enemy possessed the best navy
and mercantile marine in the world for the
purpose Of invading Us. They had, it is
true, fewer ships of war than France or
England, but possessed more river steamers
than both ofthoSe nations combined Taking
proximity into account, they were as well
prepared rs either of those nations, to cap
ture our cities on the sea and gulf coast ; far
better prepared than either to ascend or
descend our hundreds otour navigable rivers,
to capture the cities ON their banks, and TO
occupy the territory along their shores.
Norfolk, New Orleans, Nashville and
Memphis, soon fell, in consequence in their
hands. Mos, ofus then were prepared to
see all OF our riparian and sea coast towns
share IN the same fate within the first eigh-
teen months Of the war We had made up
our minds that this would be the case, and
had nerved ourselves to the probable ueces-
sity Of fighting the war out in the interior,
where We would be strong and difficult of
access, and the enemy comparatively week /;
where the advantage would be all on our side,
the disadvantage all on their side, Our bril-,
liant success for most of the past four years
delayed the necessity for those sacrifices
which we have lately made. We should
congratulate ourselves that the evil was thus
postoned until We have established our re-
sources and means Of supply, and acquired
suiiciency Of arms, ammunition and other
stores to carry on the war on more equal
terms, and until cur enemy is staggering to
his fall, under mountain of debt and the
difficulty Of recruiting his exhausted armies,
We are now delivered from all the dissd-

Small. but characteristic.

The Clerk of the Court Of Common
Pleas in Franklin County, in this State,
has heretofore acted as Clerk of the Su-
preme Court of Ohio. His salary has been
about $500 year. This has not satisfied
our Legislature. They therefore passed a
law creating The Office of Clerk of Supreme
Court, at salary of $4,000 year-sad
Clerk to be elected by the people Of the
State, the same as the Judges of the
Court now are The reason of this change,
and this loss of 81 900 year to the pco-
pie, is in the fact that the Franklin County
Clerk is Democrat, while they expect the
new Clerk to be Republican.

The only ilworslpers known to ex-
ist are the Yezidis, a singular race of peo.
pie living in America. The Yezidis were
formerly Christians; were then converted to
Mahomedanism, and now, apparently dis
gusted with both faiths have bctuken them
selves to diabolism. The theory of their
priests is that although the mighty angel
Satan, the chief ei' the angelic host, at pres
ent has a quarrel with God, yetreconciliation
will hereafter take place, and he will be re.
stored to his high rank in the celestial hier-
archy. This is the foundation of their
hope, aud they consider themselves safe in
trusting their destiny TO it, Among such n
people the proianc phrase, "Go To the
devil, ," would Of course be considered an
expression Of good will

Good Democratic Doctrine.

The following letter from Lieutenant

and wisdom, and is worthy of the statesmen
among whom the flower of the veteran Gen
erals 3 life has been passed;

DEAR SIR Il regret, on account of de-
bility, | cannot take part in the grand cclc-

been established between the gallant vete-
rams of the opposing armies, and this noble
sentiment gives the hope that it may con
quer the miserable haired SO general between

quest Of the day.
