i that is true, it is equally true Of the
Confederacy, which has never been in
such,a blaze of excitement since 1861
What did theAlnion of oil parties in the
North, at the time of "the rebel bonn
bardment of Fort SUMTER" accomplish I.
Did it prevent !" the rebelss' from taking
the fort? Has It enabled the Federal
lists, in four years of war, to rerake what
they lost? Seward promised them that
I'm 4inety days the war would be at an
end. Did the union of all parties in the
North accomplish that prediction ? What
renders Northern union, even if it exists,
more terrible now? They pretend to
have four hundred thousand men in the
field-the time of half of whom goes
out this year. Suppose they keep that
number up, and even exceed it by the
coming draft. We can equal their num-
bers, and they have given us such mo-
tives to fight as we neverhad before
The detection of rascally Northern poll
ticians is thing to be expected. The
Confederacy leans upon no such broken
reed. Its reliance is upon God and its
own stout heart and strong hand.

The Yankee journals make themselves
merry over the seedincss of Confederate
garments, and the general "rcbel style
of shabbiness." The Confederate ward
robe, it is true, has become somewhat
dilapidated by the war, but we should
dislike to exchange the hearts that beat
beneath it for the purple and fine linen
of Broadway. Ragged as our soldiers
are, they are not as badly off in that
respect as the coatless and shoeless SOL
diers Of the first Revolution, the praises
of whose bare feet and tattercd garments
are to be found in Yankee histories of the
days Of 1776. Nor are they in anything
like the for1orn condition of the army
of Italy when Napoleon took command.
Nevertheless, that army managed to
make itself presentable at every court
in Europe, and to cut a finer figure in
history than kings and mobiles.
There is no such worshipper of exter-
nails as your genuine snob and parvenue.
There arepeople who are eternally vex.
ing the heavens with their fulminations
against aristocracy; who profess to be-
proud of their plebeian origin, and conse-
crate the rags of their Revolutionary ia
theirs as sacred emblems Of Liberty.
sneering in the same breath at the shah
biness of rebel clothing. Broadcloth
coats and patent~leather boots are more
attractive, in their estimation, than the
most heroic qualities of the human SOUL
Pride of noble descent is weak enough,
but what can be said of pride which de-
pends upon the wool of sheep and the
skin Of calf for its supreme happiness
This African idolatry of dress is what
we might expect from Tittlebat Tit
mouses and miscegenators. Such peo.
pie are only fit for subjects of the de-
spotism that already has it's foot upon
their abject necks.

in sentiment, as well as in. interest, With
theConfederate leaders; but it appears,
of late, plain that the farmers who have
SO far escaped the net of the conscrip-
ton, either have grown tired of the con.
test or despair Of success, and that their
great aim now is not to serve the rebel
lion, but to avoid sharing it's fortunes
If all that were true,-and we leave
it to the fellow. citizens of those heroic
Georgia troops who have illustrated so
many battle>felds to hurl back the ac-
cusation,-Lincoln has stepped in to-
supply to all the people Of this country
= motive of "desperation which can
not fail to arouse the most sluggish sld
exasperate the most pacific. If they
have not believed their own orators, their
own newspapers, and their own 60
vernors, perhaps they will believe him
when he tells them that slavery is abo-
lished, and that they can only be al
lowed to approach his footstool as sup
plants suing for mercy. If, after all,
this, they fall behind Russians, Tyrolese,
and every other invaded nation of ancient
and modern times, and look passively on
the progress through their country of
onquering army, we shall concede that
the Times knows them better than we
do, and that provincial vassalage to
Yankee despotism would be no degrada-
tion.

The New York Herald represents that
Lincoln, at Fortress Monroe, presented
"to the rebel States the open door of the
Union, with all its constitutional guaran-
ties, as their only way Of escape from
their sufferings and disasters under this
terrible war;" This in face of the fact
that the United States Congress had
formally abolished slavery; that the
President of the United States announced
to our commissioners that there could be
no peace except upon the condition of
laying down our arms and absolute sub
mission to laws confscating our pro-
perty, according the death penalty to our
citizens, and such legislation regulating
the relations between the two races in
the South as the Yankee Congress should
adopt We were to 60 into the Union
without representation in the making Of
laws. for Mr.. Lincoln told Mr.: Hunter
that while we could send representatives
to the Yankee Congress, yet it rested
with that Congress- to say whether they
would receive them or not! And this
the Herald calls presenting "to the
rebel States the open door Of the Union,
with all its constitutional guarantees"
The Herald asserts that all parties in
the United States will now unite more
harmoniously and effectively for vigor-
GUS war "than ct any time since their
first grand spontaneous uprising with the
rebel bombardment Of Fort Sumter.

We regret to see, here and there,.a .
Confederate newspaper still holding out
the idea of foreign Intervention. That
England and France may become involv-
ed in this war Before it is over, is pos
sible, but there are no indications of
such an event at present. The new fea-
turc of this sensational rumor is, that Q
portion only of the States having paf-
ticipatcd in the late Presidentialelection,
the.fact of separate organization is thus
practically proved. We wonder that
anybody can suppose the intervention Of
European powers depends on any ques-
ton Of right, justice, law, faith, or any
other earthly consideration except their
own interests. Quixotism was exploded
among individuals some centuries ago,
andit never did exist among governments
Imagine Louis Napoleon, or Lord Pal
merstou, putting ON coat Of mail and
mounting war horse, to right the wrongs
of distressed nations. Each Of those
old gentlemen has large family Of his
own to attend to, and neither time nor
inclination to waste in knighterTantsy.

REGULAR AND VOLUNTEER

The New York Herald remarks that
:the Mexican war was comparatively a
ridiculous little farce, while this is a tre>
mendous tragedy. In war, the poor Mexi-
cans are but little better than Indians
for in every encounter with our troops,
regardless Of numbers or position, they
were invariably beaten.
"In this war it is Greek against Greek,
and great armies led by scientific Off
GERS, with all the modern improvements
in arms and equipments, arrayed against
each other. Hence, as We have seen, a
civilian general, competent, with five or
SIX hundred Americans, to win a glorious
victory over two or three thousand feeble
Mexicans, signally fails when required
to lead twenty or thirty thousand Ameri.
cans against an equal number of their
rebellious brethrenin charge of our educa-
ted soldiers. Thus our distinguished
volunteer generals of the Mexican war
are reduced to their proper dimensions,
and the subordinate regular officers of
that war, such as Brevet Captain Grant,
now rise to the command of our armies"
We leave it to the hero of Bethel and
Fort Fisher to answer the New York
HeaalM+ We will put Butler against
Bennett any day. We commend the
Herald to the late Lowell speech for a
vindication of Yankee volunteer'oficers.
Failures they may make, bloodless
failures, but not "disasters not the

Pines, not the Chickahominy, not FIRE.
dericksburg, not Charlottesville, not the
Wilderness, not the Cold Harbor, not the
Petersburg mine, not, in one word, the
command of the Army of the Potomac.
If Butler. r.sees fit to answer that other
military critic of the Herald, and is dis.
posed to tell the truth "a crime which
even Yankees are capable of committing
in selfdefence), he may correct the
figures of the Herald when it speaks of
it's Americans, !. g., Germans, Irish, ne
groes, and some Yankees, being led by
regular officers "against an equal num-
Der Of their rebelli0us brethren in charge
Of educated soldiers" There have been
few battles in this war in which the
numbers were equal, or anything like it.
The Yankees have been boasting FROM
the beginning that their population out
numbered us four to one, and claim that
they have, from first to last, had an army
of three millions. We will not take advan-
tage even of their official lies, but the
fact is undoubted that their armies have
been at least double the number of our
own, infinitely superior in equipments
and munitions of war, sometimes armed
with weapons which gave each soldier
twelve fires to our one; with an abund-
ant and unfailing commissariat, and the
ports of the world open for the supply
of men and means; whilst our own have
been sealed by blockading squAdrons-
What have their regular generals accom-
plished with all these advantages? A
series Of bloody disasters" responds
Butler, whilst the volunteer officers have
only suffered harmless failures"
