ian, says of Norfolk, very truly:
This ought to become the great ship
ping port of the South. With its mag
nificent harbor, its fine inland commu-
nicntipn by bays, rivers, canals and rail-
roads, it possesses advantages which, if
properly improved, would make ii
second only to New York as CONNER
cial and maritime centre. There is no
reason why it should not do the great
bulk of shipping of the Southern States
ON the contrary every motive of inter.
est and Of pride dictates that the capital
and energy of the South should be di-
rected towards building up Norfolk as
the exporting and importing harbor for
Southern trade. In depth of waters, in
facility of approach from sea, and In ac-
feasibility from the interior it is unri-
vailed by any other seaport on our coast.
Nature has lowered It muniflcently !:
and human enterprise can convert that
dowery into one of splendid wealth and
prosperity. We merely throw out these
hints now, intending to develop them
more fully in future,

Petersburg Iaden makes mo apology"
for introducing to its readers the fol-
lowing short extract from private let
terp from General Lee, whom the editor
characterizes as "the best beloved man
in these Southern States" We make
"no apology for quoting from oul
Coekade contemporary:
1T should be the object of all to avoid
controversy, to allay passion, give free
scope to reason and every kindly feel
ing BY doing this, and encouraging
our citizens to engage in the duties of
life with all their heart and mind, with
determination not to be turned aside
by thoughts of the past or fears of the
future, our country will not only be re-
stored in material prosperity, but will
be advanced in science, in virtue and in
religion.
Wishing you every success,
am, most truly yours,
"R. e. LEE"

It is stated that CAPTAIN Waddell an(

1t is stated that Captain Waddell and
his ship, the Shenandoah, have been
purchased by the Fenians. She is now
doing business under the Irish flag, and
depredating upon British commerce.
We have changed'our opinion about this
vessel, and now think her commander
noble admiral, and his ship magnifi-
cent man-of-war. We trust she will
illuminate the seas with British ships in
flames. There is something like poetic
justice about this Fenian movement that
is very pleasant to an American. Circum-
stances alter cases. England cannot
put this rebellion down; no, never"
"a heroic and gallant people like the
Irish can never be subjugated." 1.-THE
hirelings Of Queen Victoria cannot sue
cessfully contend in battle against the |
young chivalry of Ireland, fighting for |
the independence of their native land. |
defending their homes and firesides." |
Dost thou like the picture, Johnny,
dear?

They Jest at scars who never felt a
wound. The Boston transcripts poking
fun at the English, because they are
afraid of the invineible Fenians. The
British fright is legitimate. Tho same
journal ironically suggests that "Mr.
Seward is bordering on the propriety OF
conceding .belligerent rights to the
Green Isle." All this is trifiing with a
great cause and n great people. We
trust that President Johnson will direct
Mr.. Seward to pause bordering forth
with, and send out manifesto by Sat
urday's packet, stating clearly that
America recognizes the Irish as belli-
gerent race. There is nothing in the
law of nations to forbid that, and if
there was, it would not be constitutional.
They are entitled to this recognition.
But for division of opinion in our edi-
torial department, we should insist upon
the government going still further, and,
in the spirit of reciprocity with British
feelings in regard to the South, acknow-
ledge Irish independence now. What
are we afraid of? We have full faith
in the Fenians. We are Fenians; and
there being no reason why Fenians
should not be free, We go for the freedom |
of the Fenians. 1t will be seen that we |
take "strong ground' upon this subject;
but this is natural i'm men who have been |
trained to arms and who appreciate the
blessings of liberty. We hope the State
conventions will take this great ques-
ton of Fenianism up, and make it
slab in their respective platforms.

INSPIRED WRITING.

Walt Whitman, "the poet" writes
for the New York Tribune! He is de-
scribing the dawning of "The Fashion
Day." and let's fly in this style:
Splendid August, poppy-crowned,
kissed the eyelids of the cool September,
and stole his sceptre while he lay supine
in her sultry and slumberous presence.
In the fields, where the late corn RI
pens, and the grapes still fill their purple
chalice with the sunbeams, these days
are the browning gift of lavish Nature.
Among the hills they keep their shining
procession, mutely wondering at the alb
sence of the lovely urban visitors who
fled as summer waned, and thereby
missed their beauty. Over the beaches
they pass with nOiseless feet, for the
echo of the summers mad gaiety is in
their ears, and the endless melancholy
of the ocean. Yet, from their purple
presence glory streams over sea and
land, such as the vanished season knew
not in her prime"
Mr.. Greeley, who sometimes writes
poetry. and lectures OH poets, must have
written what follows:
Beautiful Land. where the bountifu sun
Blesses the bond of savannah and sea,
Neither SO lovely till blended in one
Each 10 the other shall complement be-
Magical dews that the tropical day
Kisses to rapturous odor and hue
Myrtle and laurel and orange and bay
Purple and emerald, golden and blGe.
Wonder Indigenous endosens wave
Banner-like blades on a mystical bole
And, with vigor perennial, brave
Boreal blasts from the alien pole
Over the plated palmettos, abroad
Brawned like Briareus, century-old,
Grimly magnificent evergreen god
Realm Of the greenwood the live-oak doth hold
Tempests the thunderous foliage toss
LOCKS Of the Deity wizard and hoar
Awtully signs the oracular moss
Art thou incarnate Dodona of yoreY
Dead generations rejoice at thy birth,
PEOPLES have tourished to power with thee
Cities have leaped from thy generous girth
Art of the shore and the ark of the sea.

such events, also, have profound moral

But their abandonment shows, also. on
the part OF tho Rebels, not perhaps that

which will make their defensive campaigns

Government.
lie opposes the arming of tho slaves, be-
flowing them to DC more valuable as agri-
cultura' lahorers than they could bo as
soldiers. They do not wish 10 70 into the
army, and the principal restraint now upon
them Is tho fear that If they leave the
enemy will make them n1ht. Compel
them 10 take up arms, and they will desert
by the thousand. We cannot expect them
10 fight well TO continue the enslayeme enl
Of their wives and children, and II Is un-
REASONABLE to demand II of them. When
we establish the fact that they are mill.
tary peopla, We destroy our theory that
they arc unit to be tree, and when we arm
them VIC abandon slavery.
Ho complains bitterly OF tho numerous
usurpations of the Confederate Congress.
He says our Government IL q military des.
potisui, drifting into anarchy; and IL the
present policy Is persisted In, II must ter,
