his .Abolition proclamation ; tho iron-
grasp with whiofi ho crushed freedom'

has been broken, and now, not only
disaffootion, but outright opposition,
to his tyrrannoua rule, spreads like wild
tire throughout tlie length and broath
of Vub betrayed,'befooled, and almost
enslaved dominions. The present
cringing, fawning, dotigh-faoed Con

tool, and that of Ills rabid Abolition
advisers, expires on the 4th of 'March,
and will then he succeeded by ono

their places. And tlion, what is, per'
hapr, the worst of ail to him, is, tho
vapidly ■ sinking ’condition of Federal
finances, and tiiis 1 , hot because of any
sudden panic, but for tho reason that
tlie money lenders of the world have
no sort of confidence in him or the
sueccsss of his war of subjugation.
All these things combine to make
Abraham the First desperate, and, it
may bo expected, that no plan of wan
ton barbarism or bloody cruelty will bo
too savage for his undertaking, or any
soheme, trick, or device be too low
lived and mean to receive his appro
bation, provided it promises success.—
Asa drowning man will catch at n

to save liis sinking fortunes. But lie
Bees that he "has been weighed in the
balance," of even Northern public
opinion, “and found wanting,” and
that ho may. be impeaohod and deposed
is now by no means beyond the range
of possibilities. His only way of sal
vation lies through success—immediate
and completely overwhelming, over the
Rebels—in fact an entire subjugation
of the South.
The Now York Tribune, in a recent
issue, points out a plan by which, if
tho rebellion is not crushed in three
months, ho, Horace Grooley, will then
ho willing 4o , accept, of peace on any
terms. His plan is as follows: Tho ban
kers arc to bo assured that thisis posi
tively tho last lime they will be called
upon to furnish money during the war,
and on the strength of this assurance
the aforesaid will furnish five hundred
millions of- dollars, tho amount now
neoded to crush the rebellion'; the
entire malitia of all the loyal States is
to be called out for three months, and
with them Maryland is to bo kept down,
Washington City to be protected, and
Fortress Monroe and all other,posts of
comparative safety, to bo garrisoned ;
all the forces now in service aro to en"
gage the rebels in their various' strong
holds, and two hundred thousand col
ored Unionists, in small, organized
bands, are to scour those pSrtions of
robeldom most densly populated by
those of their own race, arming and
setting them free as they go, and ex
terminating tho white race. Now, as
Greeley is old Abe’B "right bower,"
who knows but that this or somo other
equally crazy plan may be adopted.—
At all events the entire militia of tho
State of New York has recently beon
ordered to report to Gen. Wool.
In consideration of those facts, the
duty of the Confederate States is plaiu
Alt possible preparation ought to be
made to overcome our merciless ene
mies, in' what, as it now scorns probable,
will be their last desperate effort at
subjugation. The Government is do
ing all in its power, and tlie officers
and men in the field will cheerfully,
do their duty when the hour of trial
comes. The only fears to be appre
bended arise from the weakening, and,
what is even worse, the demoralizing
effect upon our army, of the number
of absentees from’ their several posts.
There are at least one hundred thou
sand officers and men now out of camp

We urged them .then in view of the
apprehended fall of New Orleans, and
oar being cut off, in consequence, from
*uf regiuti:
our regular supply of sugar; and- syrpp.
Sirieo then ‘that city has fallen 1 , and
the brop or Louisiana either cut off’
from us almost entirely, or destroyed.
If the reason was strong then for urging
our people to plant tho soed of I tho
Chinese sugar cane, it is much stronger
now, and it should wot be neglect
ed.
Wb are glad to observe that that vigi
lnnt and untiring friend of tho agri
cultural interest, frteud Redmond, of
the Southern Cultivator, has already
taken the field; and that tho Inst num
ber of his excellent journal has sevoral
articles in reference to the cultivation;
of this plant, in addition to ono on tho
cultivation of tho Louisiana variety,
and the manufacture of syrup and
sugar.
We insist that our farmers and plan
ters should give some attention to this,
not only on acoount of their own in
terest in tho matter, but that of the
publio generally. It is impossible to
say when the enemy will bo expelled
from Louisiana; but should he be ex
pelled this spring evon, wo could not
expect to recoive any syrup or sugar
from there this year, and should the
blockade be raise a, thoro is so much
elso to import, and the supply ib so
saint in consequence of the falling off
in Louisiana, that the price of both
syrup and sugar will bo above what
we can produce it for.
These considerations are all weighty
in favor of our farmers ar.d planters
producing all they will need for home
consumption, and wo hopn the Culti
vator will oon'tinuo its labors in this
behalf, which wo shall cheerfully second
and assist to the extent of Our circula
tion and ability. We shall transfer to
our columns one or moro of the articles
in the. Cultivator, which wo hope will
arrest attention and stimulate action.—

11©-A letter from Toulon, France,
published in the French papers, says :
The laying up tho French frigate Lu
Gloire in tho Castigheau dock, 1ms dis
closed threo unexpected phenomena.
First, that the co.ntnct of the copjer
lining and tho submerged iron plates,
had established a galvanic current,
which produced tlie effect of a voltaic
pile, and was completely deteriorating
the armor of the frigate in tho parts
below the water lino; secondly, that a
species of shell fipli, hitherto unknown,
was afterwards discovered among the
millions of mollusca by which the hull
was covered, apparently productd un
der tho influence of the same galvanic
current; and lastly, in tlie hold of the
vessel 22)000 gallons of wine wero found

To Debtors & Crditors,

Much is said about the prospect of
peace. We thirik it our duty to say
that it is wrong to deceive our' soldiers
in the field, and people at home, with
such an idea. The former will be neg
ligent and inattentive to tho drill .and
necessary importance of being vigilant
at all times, os though they expected
the foe any moment, and the latter
would become lukewarm in the cause,
in providing for tho wants of the sol
dier.
“The cry is Peace 1 Peace! but I tell
you there is no Peace.” What means
this clank of arms on Tullaboma’s
Plaina?
Wo venture to predict a change of
programme, which will burpriso our
many readers—but mark the predic
tion. Rosencranz will ohange his baso
of operations. The war is over in Vir
ginia, tho “on to Richmond” is no Ion
gcr tho cry. A garrison will ,be left
upon the Potomac, and Hooker will
divide his army - between Rosenoranz
and Grant. In that event Lee will
have to leave a garrison upon his side
of the Potomac, and divide his nrmy
between Bragg and Pemberton, and
tho theatre of action will be removed
to.the banks of the Mississippi and
the. border of the Western States.—

siderable excitement about vessels run
ning the blookado of the harbor of

very curious fact. 1 suppose I have
been in and over the Charleston bar
hundreds of times, in all weathers. It
was always a nuisance. If in a vessel
drawing over ten feet, you had to wait
until exact high wator, and then you
rarely found over 15 to 16 feet on the
bar. Tho Goodwin Sands are not more
trenoherous than thoso on the Charles
ton bar. Well, what does President
Lincoln ? At a very heavy expense he
ordered vessels filled with granite to be
sunk in the main channel,“where there
nover was 17 feet of water at high or
any other tide. The result -is astound
ing. The Copper and the Ashley rivers,
which there pass to the sea on each
side of Chgrloston city and out ovor the
bar, have swept out a ship channel, in
no place under 30 feet deep, and in
some places there is 50 feet water where
there was only 16 before the vessels
wero sunk. When peaoe comesCharles-
ton harbor will be one of the finest in
the Southern States. “Man proposes,
but God disposes." From nearly round
Charleston the water in a channel of 30
feet will make her the socond city in
the United States in a few years. I
