for such an instance of judicial blind-
noss ns that.under which the Northern
people have been laboring. Upon nh
other theory can the conduct of the
Lihcoln Government, in tlio rupture
botweon the Northern • atkl Southern
States of America, be accounted for.
From-tlie 1 vory beginning’-' of 1 theso
troubles Mr. Lincoln and his counsel
lors have been floundering in their
own de.vices, stultifying themselves by
their acts of to day in their conduct or
vesterdny,. Not longer, ago than the
last month’ Mr: *Lirfcolh’n Secretary of
State wroto to his Minister in London
that ‘‘intervention would only afford
an additional rnotivo for America t to
sustain her resolution to remain Utu-
To reunite her i^if .wh atc to believo
professions, tho first wish of Mr. Lin
coln’s heart,-a nil his .friends have inti
mated.time and again, with a peculiar
significance, that in a war with England
the South would be sure to unite with
jydroad.intor-
to-be its effects
by Mr. Lincoln,
one would suppose;
Evidently this threat through his.
minister—for it bears ii menacing air—',
was intended to intimidate tho British
people, to suppress theft avow&l of
sympathy with'tho South, and tho in-
.fluenoo her Miycsty’s government; for
a few days after this menace was re
ceived in London ho praotieally revok
ed his emancipation proclamation,
which had been uilorcd with so much
personality a. few weeks Before; and,
instead of abolishing slavery next week,
he offers to give us the rest of the cen
tury to do it in, and pay us for it too,-
if we will only do i‘, ourselves and come
back to him,
Tills is certainly a bid for tho South
to come back, and it looks very much
like a practical admission on his part
that thecause,of subjugation’ and re*
union is becoming desperate. lie can’t
lay his taxes® support the war.
To ono whoso cuso bocomos desper
ate, delay is always of moment. Every
thing must bo done to gain time. Tho
idea of foreign intervention must be
staved oft, and a new plea put in for
another respite of “sixty” or (‘ninety”
days. This plea is sought to be enforc
ed on a rumor which I am informed is
n’ow eurront in Yankee circles, to the
effect that Southorn traders are mak
ing overtures for a return to political
union with the Yankees. This rumor
is, it is said, derived from private. lct-
te'rsreceived in this city from tho North.
It is only a "Yankeo trick.” If it
could but gain credence here, even for
a while; it would relievo for a time the
Federal administration from the fear
of its great bugbear, foreign interven
tion, and might do tho republican par
ty “a heap of good,”
Not only had no such overture been
made,’but there is no probability that such
an one will ever. come. Our enuso lias been
consecrated by the best blood In the
land ; ibr .it grout sacrifices havo. been
made; itacharft'pibns feel that they are.
clad in tho triple armor of right. > For
these reasons it has become dear to
tho heart’s of a whole people. Our mep,
women and children glory, in it'; and,
after the proofs that tho world has had
oT Southern manhood, is it likely that
such men will bo so. baso as to think of
rotufning to Yankeo domination ? Sim
ply, a petition from tho South to bo

success, we [wore never more doeifiod,
nor in better .heart.
Besides our' own’ self-reliance," the
faith wo have in our-oausc and leaders,
we derive encouragement from the
enemy. He begins to show.signs of
giving in. Mr. Lincoln, for tli,o .first
time, rocdgriizris tlie possibility of per
manent disunion, for he can find’ “no
line, straight or crooked,” which, will
6uit him for a boundry, as yot, notwith

S of us are too muoli inolitied to
peace castles irt the air, and per
mit ourselves to be deluded into tfto
idea thnt the war will not ’ last >above
Sixty <1 ays at tho farthest! If it closos
in that time—well- enough, But, if at
tho end bf sixty days, the war shall not
have come to an end, wo will be in a
fur worse condition, thnn if we ’ had
pever indulged the dream. Tho mouths
Of the people liayo been so filled with
tho cry of peace, by the Confederate
victories Of the past month, that wo
fear that they Will grow upnUhctie and
relax thoir energies to bring about that
peace they fo much desire. A writer
in the Knoxvilio Register indulges in
some ’.veil timed and sensible reflections
upon this subject. “Let us show," lie
writes, “a willing spirit to prolong tlie
war. if need be, to the end of time,
rather than yield to the vandal foe.
If our Independence is worth all tho
blood and treasure that have already
been spilled and lavished to achieve it
sprely it ill becomes us to set a price
upon it short of a determination to sno
rifice all that is left with us. No matter
ho-v highly We may prize it, let. all go,
so wo but succeed in the great object
wo had in view, when first we engaged
in these hostilities.
Tho planteiv and farmers of tho
States that compose tho Southern Con
federacy should not be so far overcome
by these idle rumors, as to nogleci to
put m large crops of grain ; lor if the
war continues they can by this means
contribute as much to the cause of the
South as if thoy were on the tented
Sold. The hope of a chance for specu
lation should not influence any man to
plant cotton, beyond whut is necessary
to stive seed. Now, ns tho last bubble
of intervention basbursted at tho touch
of Louis Napoleon, in his address to
tho French Assembly, let us look no
more to that quarter of the globo for
assistance, as their courso in the past,
has only, sorved to mature hopes in
the hot bod of our credulity, to bo
blasted by thp first cold breath that
came whistling adverse to our cause.”
Wo urgo it upon the farmers of the
land, therefore, to grow largo crops of
grain, and to let their cotton soed rot
if thoy would not lose tbe : r broad acres
in nniiuleccut haste to get rich. Every
graft) sown will tell in the progress'd’
tho revolution. Our armies must be
subsisted, and that man accomplishes
as touch to tho cause of his country
who fooill her soldiers, ns iso who bares
his bosom to tho steel of tho fpo in the
Bold. Act as if you believed the war
would never erici; if you woiild have it
end at all. Ccnso to dream of raised
blockades and foreign’ m-diatiori, We
have beon. dreamers too long already.
Go to your'fiolds and work to feed the
armies.of the South, and to clothe them.
\Ve must make up our minds, that the
war will lost till Abraham Lincoln ab
dicates the Yankee throne, and if it
,ei\ds skort of that time,, tho fact will be
all tho Yiioro agresable, boenuso it is
unexpected.
Lincoln says a Smart tuino.—Ahugo
Western paymaster was, recently intro
i to L'uooin. By way of saying
thing agreeable tho llqosior re
marked : “I have called, si:-, to pay
ispects!” “yes,” responded Lin
coln. “from the cotriplaints of tile (sol
diers, rguess that is.about all you gen
tlemen do pay.”
Suinflasters.—Tbo following joice is
current at Peoria : During tho grand
jury’s investigation of the sbinplaster
nuisance a day . or two ago, a witness
was interrogated as to what ho knew
in regard to these shinplastcrs, when
ho deliberately pullod from liis pocket
a lot, and exhibited them as having been
hojur:
BefTwo Yankee prisoners captured
(it Murfreesboro, have been turned over
at Atlanta for trial for nn attempt to
pass counterfeit. Confederate notes.—
Their names are ; Eli E. Barrete, 2d
Lieut. 2lst Michigan regiment, and
John.F. Elliott, 1st Lieut. 38th Illinois
feginient. If it can be proven that
these gentry aro guilty of the crime,
thoy will probably received a counter
feiter’s doom under the gallows,

cohscien tionSrtoss, he woUl’d’ continue to
regard him with the respect of a gonUe-
nuin andHie affeotion cfa father ; but-
that, it ho should elfot the side of the
onemy, they would- -probably novor
meet on earth, unless, perchance, they
should theet in battle. '~ ,v i
The father has served nearly eigh
teen months eastward of the Mississippi,
and, through unsolicited orders, arrived
at Ilouston, en routo for San Antonio,
lato at- night of Doc. 30, when hearing
of tho intended attack on tho' Harriet
Lane, aboard of which ho had heard
was’his son, also plaofltl there simply in
tho order of Providence,' lie solicited
permission to join the expedition in
the expectation of nursing or burying
his son, whose courage - was . obliged to
expose him fatally to tho equal daring
of our Toxns boys. During the fight,
Major Leo wus ordered by the General
to.kopp a look-out from a house top X°K
>nil movements in tho Bay. As soon as
daylight onublod him to sec that the
Lane had boon oaptured, by permission
of the General, who know nothing of
tho expcct8d meeting, ho hastened
aboard, wlicq ho was hot surprised to
find his sen mortally woundod. Wad
ing through blood, amidst tho dying
and the dead, lie reached the youth,
pale and exhausted. “Edward, ’tis
your father.” “I know you, fnthor,
but cannot move,” ho said faintly.
“Are you mortally wounded?” “Bad
ly, but hopo not fatally.” "Do you
suffer • pain ?” “Cannot speak,” lie
whispered. A stimulant, was given him.
"How camo you here, father?” When
answered, a gleam of surprise arid grat
ification passed over his fine face.’ He
then expended nearly liis last words in
making arrangements for liis woundod
comrades. liis father knelt and bless
ed him, and hastened ashore fora litter
and returned just after life bad fled.
When told by the surgeon that ho
hud but a few minutes to live, and
asked to express his wishes; he nils
wored confidingly, 1 My father is here,”
and spoke not again, lie was borne in
procession to the grave from the head
quarters of Gen. Mngruder, in compauy
with his captain, and- they were buried
together, with appropriate military
honors, and in the presence of many
officers of both armies and many gener
ous citizens, nil of whom expressed
their deep sympathy with the bereaved
father, who said the solemn Bervice of
tho Episcopal Church for the burial of
the dead, and then added this brief
address :
“My friends, the wise man has said
that there is a time to rejoice and a tithe
to mourn. Surely this is a time when
we may weep with those that weep.
Allow one so sorely tried, in this liis
willing sacrifice, to beseech you to be
lieve, whilst we defend our rights with
strong arms and honest hearts; that
these we meet in bilttle may also have
hearts brave and honest os our own.
,Vo have hero buried two brave and
honest gentlemen. Peace to their
ashes, tread lightly o’er their graves.
Amen.”
