Bach successive mail and telegram brings
US news that rebellion is working out its
natural results and bringing forth its ie-
climate fruits. The attempted " Conieu-
eracy," the q cornerstone of which Is q
mass of rottenness, condemned ana re-
iected of all Christendom, and the distlnc-
tive feature of whose constitution Is an
utter contempt and reputation OF every
u.pa, bond Of national unity and strength
!, falling to pieces and crumbling to dust.
The rope Of sand " twisted at the Mont
comery rope-walk has answered precisely
the purpose that might have been reason
ably expected. The disafection of Geor-
sia has long been fixed fact, and being
the most powerful State in the Confeder-
acy, her disafection is almost death
blow to the attempted nationality of the
rebellion. Sherman's march through the
State divided it into two political juris-
dicions, over one of which Gov. Brown
exercises his authority, while his Lieuten-
ant or some other official pursues an OPP
posite policy in the other. Brown is
=" down on" JEFF. Davis and the Southern
Confederacy, and falling back on the
Estates Rights" doctrine of the Confeder-
ate constitution, claims the right of do
ing as he id pleases" with the sover-
eign State of Georgia. He is, however,
none the less hostile to the Government OF
the United States, but wars against that
Government in the name, not of the Con-
federacy, but of Georgia. His style Is
peculiar. A short time. since he was re-
ported to have released all the convicts
from the jails and penitentiaries, put arms
in their hands and sent them out against
Sherman. What foe to pit against our
brave boys, and what "moral inhu-
ence" this army of thieves and cut-throats
must exert! 1t reminds one of the empty
ing of the prisons of Paris during the great
Revolution, and clubbing the inmates with
the title of "Soldiers Of the Republic"
We are not advised as to whether that
course was really pursued, and whether
those brave convicts formed portion OF
the skedaddling forces of Hardee or not
1t does not matter much. North Caro-
lima, which never was very tightly bound
by the sand-rope, is as fractions as ever,
and from last accounts was getting rather
"more So" Governor Vance, of that
fractions Commonwealth, in a message to
the Legislature, confesses that the laws
cannot be enforced in the interior, owing
to the bands of deserters and Others who
infest the mountains, rob and murder the
loyal minions of JEFF. and establish g
"wheel within a wheer-a rebellion on
their own hook. He suggests that they
be declared outlaws and driven from the
State. But then, who is to do the driy-
ing If they are so strong as reported, and
where are they to he driven: Surely,
North Carolina would not be guilty of the
contemplate meanness Of sending off her
dangerous classes to prey upon her
sisters, who have already quite as much
of that element as they can stagger under.
And it would never do to send them
North; for that would involve confes-
sion that would scar the cheek of " chiy-
airy" with the burning blush of shame as
with a red hot iron. The dispatches OF
this morning announce that the Home
Guard of that State have fallen back on
their constitutional rights" and refuse to
march beyond the boundaries of theii
State. We suppose they are not bound
to do so "except in case of invasion.
Sherman will soon invade their sacred
soil, and then they will have a constitu-
tional right to skedaddle. Well may the
Richmond papers declare that I" the pres
sure of war bears heavily"
