'I ho general judge: 1 of mankind sustains
. the conviction which is uni versa 1 with our peo-
J pit, that the Cos 'federate States caDnot he pre
vented from obtaining the independence for
: wh cb they are s . bravely struggling Their
j success is, certainly to themselves, not a rnatter
ol question. It will n >t, therefore, be consul
j ered 1 hat we are “building castless in the air
j if we glance at some of the udvantages v.e will
j possess as a people and upon which we base
j the expectation of becoming a prosperous anil
i powerful Confederacy. Os coriT.ie, i 1 the brief
i apace ot an editorial article, we can only notice
: a few of these advantages.
We assume that, as the result of our secession
und the war that has followed, all the States
I that adhere to the in.-titution of slavery will
■ oouer or later swing loose from the old wreck
ind range themselves alongside of those with
which they have a common! nlere-a and destiny.
We sltul> then, without including territories,
cover an area of about 800,000 squar miles, em
bracing a population of 12,000,000, including
4.000,000 of slaves—a land possessing every
desirable variety of climate and of gnii ; with
agricultural capacities almpst unlimited ; with
facilities for domestic manufactures and for
eign commerce,inrpassed iiy no other,country of
eqna extent oil the face of the globe. The
KiisternTimit of this vast territory is formed by
the Atlantic Ocean, which washes its shores
from the mouth of Delaware Bay to the Cape
of Fiorina, a distance of 1,500 miles. It
Southern boundray strettches from the Cape of
Florida, along tlie shores of the Gulf of Mexico
1 to the mouth of the Uio Grande, a’ distance of
L,200 miles. This immense line of sea coast
is doited with convenient bays and harbors,
and is intersect, dat shor intervals by large
and navigable rivers whose branches spread
•m i ramify through every part of the interior.
Among these may be mentioned the great
Mississippi, which lor the last 1,200 miles of
its course Sows through slave territory and be
longs exclusively to the Confederate .States.
An extensive system of railway already ex
tends its Ibiarean arms through the land, and
the day is not distant when the whole country
will he covered with a net-work of these arti
ficial channels of communication, and when
tiie means ol'rapid iat rcou se :md| exchange
will be established between its remotest ex
tremities. Os tlie productions of (lie South, it
is onlv necessary to say that they constituted
more than three fourths of the exports of the
tld Government, and that the whole civilized
world is dependent upon her great staple, cot
ton—for the most indispensable article of cloth
ing.
Such are some of the physical advantages
ive possess. Mho shall venture to say that
such a country, in the hands of a brave, intelli
gent, enterprising, liberty loving race, may not
attain the very acinic of national prosperity
and grandeur t And without arrogance, such
a race we may claim to be—in proof of which
we ,V‘l ■the fact, not only of the development,
ptogress and culture exhibited in the States
composing the Confederacy, but the indisputa
ble fact that the wealth of the old Government,
tlie wisdom of- its laws, the gloiy of its arms,
its prestige and power were mainly due to
Southern intellect and valor, and the produc
tions of Southern labor and soil, livery page
of the now c'osed history of what was the
United Slates is lustrous with the genius of
Southern minds and the achievements of South
ern coinage.
A braver and more warlike people probably
never existed on the face of the earth. In all
the wars in which the bnited States were en
gaged, tin: South contributed largely more
that) her rateable proportion ot lighting men,
and her soldiery have been distinguished a ike
for impetuous valor and patient endurance
'i lie common remark that tho natives of South
cin climes are dehoient in physical oneagy,
and in warlike prowess, is true only when ap
plied to o7,lrtifie Southern latitudes. The an
nuls of the past and the daily evidence of our
' east's stamp it os false, so far as our own peo
ple are concerned, if the belief was ever real
ly entertaiift'd in the North, a hundred victo
ries on unequal fields have dispelled it. There
need lies no apprehension that tlie Southern
par pie lack tho ability either to achieve or
maintain their independence.
With such a country inhabited by a people
capable ot defending it, and capable, too, of
turning its great natural advantages to (lie most
: productive uses, nothing is needel to secure
the highest prosperity and happiness, but wise,
judicious legislation, an ! a prudent adminis
tration 01 public atfairs. lu these respects, it is
our g .od fortune to have had the teaching ot
•some of he wisest stat -smen. and the exam
ples of some of the purest patriots, the world
has ever seen. Washington. Madison and Ala
son. Tailor of l arolina, anil Randolph ol Uoa
j noke. # nnd many others, from a single one of
I these .States, have left imperishable legacies ct
: statesmanship and patriotism for the guidance
sos all after ages. In addition, we have fts a
1 stern and perpetral warning tho shipwreck of
j the Northern States, the result of radical aud
agrarian theroies, of detnagozic 1 agitation, and
j knavi.-A practices Add to titese the great coti-
I servative subtratum of slavery, as the basis of
our society and institutions, and we may fairly
j indulge the hope that the people of the Confed
erate States will not permit themselves to bo
i misgoverned. I.et this hope be realized, and,
with the favor of the Great Dispisorof human
i destinies, what will be wanting to enable the
! the Confederate States to occupy a fiont rank
i among the ereat powers of the earth? Great
i ill capabil ties, they would soon become great
in reality. We presume that no reasonable
; man will deny that they are capable 1 f suppor
j t ing at least so dense a population, in propor
tion, tu Massachusetts The "number there 1o
j the square mile is l‘2t>. This number, multipli
ed by the square miles ton posing our territo
; rial area, would give a population of more
! than a hundred millions. We may therefore
■ assume that the Confederacy is abundantly
j able to maintain a population of one hundred
j millions—a number sufficient to satisfy either
j vanity or ambition.
But. recurring to our present condition, and
leaving the future to take care of itself, the
staple productions of our soil, our cotton, to
bacco, l ice sugar and breadstuffs constitute the
basis of a foreign trade that must make com
mercial allian-es and treaties of trade w ith us
desiavble to all commercial nations. Cotton,
the principal product of our soil, is the most
important artiileof commerce in the world.
Cotton clothes one-half the European race,
that is about 500,000,000 of human beings, and
two thirds of all the cotton of the world has
been grown in the Confederate States. The
foreign commerce of Great Britain consists at- -
most entirely in the exchange of her inanufac
! hires for the rude products of other countries.
1 andwearlv one-half ol her exports are lminu
j Pictures ol cotton. It is estimated that the
| manufacture ot this material employs a capital
I of $400,000,000, and gives employment to at
I lean .">,000,000 of her people. It is evident
I from this statement that the Confederacy Ims
j its hand on the matne of the British lion, and
that beast, so formidable to all the rest of the
' world, must finally crouch to her.
We need not advert to the commercial ad
| vantages which the Confederacy will derive
| from the establishment of a direct trade with
foreign countries. nor facilities which we pos-
I sess for navigation and manufactures. It wid
I be a singular anomaly, indeed, if with a sea
■ const of nearly three thousand miles in extent.
1 the Confederate States do not become a great
: naval p>wer, and it will be equally strange it
i they fail to turn to account the abundant ele.
meats of manufacturing prosperity with which
they are so bountifully endowed by nature.
Indeed, we are dwelling on subjeets with which
our owu people are generally familiar, and
which those of other countries are beginning
rapidlv to comprehend. We therefore close
this article without having more than opened
the door to the illimitable and smiling pros
pect on which it looks —fUctimond Whig

Not satisfied with stealing negroes, robbing
and killing defenceless women and children,
desecrating churches, burning houses, viola
ting official pledges, and boldly advertising
and selling counterfeit money, the Federal® are
now counterfeiting and attempting to pass
Confederate coupon bonds. A lew days since
a gentleman residing in Maryland arrived in
Richmond and exhibited to Commissioner
Watson and others a counteifeit coupon bond
which had been passed upon him in his native
State. Offering to sell a piece of psoperty
which he no longer needed, one of I, inco In's min
ions offered to purnhastjAt at a fabulous price,
and to pay for it in coupons, every one of which
were counterfeit. With a cii iliged nation such
vil ainy would iie promptly punished: but with
Yankees it will be considered a cute tri' k.
Gov. Smith of Virginia, in his address to tho
citizens oi'Danvdlp, besought tee people of all
age-% sexes and conditions to practice economy,
tho men to quit wearing their line parapher
nalia and to clothe themselves in habiliments
more becoming a people engaged in such a
struggle as we have on our hands; to econo
mise hot only in raiment, but also in food, even
recommending the discontinuance, of the use
of meat, except once a day. To the ladies lie
appealed, to pursue the same policy, and told
them as he had told “the tine ladies of Rich
mond,” that they must darn and double darn
their old dresses, aud never buy any of the
newfangled Yankee made fabrics so tempt
ingly displayed in the shop-windows ol the
merchants.
An unusually large quantity of wheat is
being sown in Virginia.
Some deserters in Dale* county, Alabama,
have lately been making considerable trouble.
A party of soldiers was sent a feiv days since
to arrest them. The deserters outnumbered
the soldiers and they were obliged to flee. One
of the soldiers narrates the matter thus : ‘-We
found 'em, the deserters, und run'em a mile
or so through the Swamp, but we were ft good
piece ahead of ’em all the time. ’
No reflecting peison in the Confederate
States lues been at ail surprised at the result of
the late elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The is me between Mr. Yalland gham and Die
Government was of a nature so unequivocal,
that the defeat of the former was a foregone
conclusion Bayonets and money etsilv car
ried the day against a timid people, who' felt a
personal interest in their candidate for Gov
ernor, but cared nothing whatever fur the
principles he avowed. G ve them their choice,
and the people of Ohio would infinitely prefer
to beat the South into submission rather than
to win it back by conciliation. The same may
be said of all the Northern States.
In a recent letter from tho -commissioner of
t ises at R'ehinoml an important rule is laid
down lor the guidance of collectors and pro
ducers. By section 11, of the tax act, each far
mer and planter of the Confederate States is
required to pay one-tenth of the products enu
merated therein, save certain reservations to
tile Government. This tax is imposed on all,
whether gathered or not. except hay and fodder,
which must first be cured, and peas, beans and
ground peas, which must first be gathered. It.
therefore, follows that, if a farmer gathers none
of the latter, but turns his hogs into the field,
and the crop is consumed in that way, then, as
none has been gathered, there will be no tax.
80, then, the tithe is only required upon the
hog and fodder cured, and the peas, beaus and
ground peas gathered—these are all tlie excep
tions. If a man turns hogs on his potatoes,
coin, etc., lie must save enough of each to pay
tlie tithe upon the whole. This is the law, anil
it is by that we must all be governed. By sec
tion 12, tho farmer, planter or grazier, is re
quired to pay one-tenth of his pork—that is, of
ail tiie hogs slaughtered, reckoning sixty
pounds of bacon from one bundled pounds ol
pork. There is no deduction to be made. No
inquiry as to how the hogs were fattened, whe
ther by corn from the crib, corn in the tield, or
peas, ground peas and potatoes fed in the field,
it is :ill the same.
The United States gunboat Madgil foundered
at sea, near Frying Pan Shoals, on Sunday,
Oct. 11, and sunk in several .fathoms water.
All tlie officers and crew were saved, but the
vessel and contents, were a total loss. The
Madgil had been doing blockade, duty off
Charleston for nineteen months.

It is stated that the steamer Hazel Dell was
at Natchez, on the 7th, with about *2,500 bales
cd cotton for New Orleans, site having been
ordered to that point by tiie commander of a
gunboat stationed at the tuouth of Red river,
with instructions not to pass that point on her
downward trip. The navigation of Ilie Missis
sippi is. evidently, a dangerous business.
The Federals have captured the blockade
steamer Herald, with two hundred aud fifty
bales of cotton; the blockade steamer Spauld
ing, With a'valuable cargo, bound for Wil
mington; also the blockade steamers Diana
and Jupiter, fiom Nassau, and Alabama and
Lizzie Davis, front Havana.
4 Owing to the unprecedented low stage of the
river, the water-works in New Orleans have
been unable to supply tiie water necessary for
useful purposes in tlie city, and consequently
the military authorities have ordered all the
hydrants closed, except those used by camps
anil hospitals, and in qase of fire. The ordet
being rigidly enforced, the citizens are greatly
inedhvenicnced.
The deserters recently taken by force from
the Talladega (Alabama) jail were not i ere tied,
but taken out and hanged.
A letter from Pensacola states that the yel
low fever is raging in the Yankee lleet at that
place. The greatest part of the crews have
been removed to Santa Rosa Island, at the
quarantine station, and fen vessels are anchor

lost, by fever, every one on board, to the ex- '

The Lynchburg Virginia says the public need
feel.no alarm on aecont of the rumors of raids !'
on the Balt Works in Southwestern Virginia, j
as they are defended by a strong force with j
ample reinforcements within easy reach. ‘‘Re- ;
sides the pla'v is well fortified by casemates,;
field works ahd rifle pits. It is, also natuallv
very strong, being surrounded by a cordon of
high hills and mountains, upon which- com
manding positions can be taken. The approach- !
es to tlte salt basin are through narrow defiles
and pass-s, winne tne advantages of defense
are incalu dable. No (ears needs be fell for
the safety of that important point except from
an advance of the enemy in force.”
The Wilmington and Weldon Railroad has
declared adiyiden tof twenty per cent., mak

The 1 aakees who organize and send negro
regiments iuto our country to subjugate our
people, cut our throats, anil lay waste our fair

truce, eighteen large boxes, each containing
fourteen hundred.hibles, amounting in the ag
gregate to 25,000. sent by the religious socie
ties of our quondam friends, for the use and
teaching of the benighted rebels. Alas 1 that
we should bo so dependent as to receive such
gifts from those who can murder our old men
and burry them with their heads down and feet
up, insult and violate the persons of our wo
men. and heap all manner of indignities upon

T«e IjEf'svr Cavalky '-igut at Colpepkk
x■* —Tlie Lyneltlturg Virginian publishes the
foUowiuje extract from a loiter, which gives the
first intelligible account of the recent cavalry
lighting jn Culpepper that we have seen
While we were the only' brigade of our corps
left un tiie iine of the K ipidnn, near Raccoon

army, atlenipteci, and succeeded in effecting,
tiio i■fossil ig of a large cavalry and artillery
force at the lord below us. -Small as our force
was it had to be divided, an.l one part was sent
fi> aid the cavalry at the lower lord, while the
rest j- nuupod at Raccoon Foul Tiie portion
at tlie louia. lord Alorton’s Ford t n aged the
Yankees at an early hour in the morni g Iteep

at iki.eouri Foret with a hrig:«J« of cavalry and
out* force oi’ iii'fantryabout two regiments
iine i-liarge made upon their flank relieved
our l'ori-e engaged below, and they commenced
111 ti-igadiiig. They did not, however, fail to
offer a stvtbb rn resistance, and more than once
our cavalry showed signs of giving way. Our
infantry was (nought up, and upon tlie Yanks
getting a View ol‘ them, they allowed their dis
erothm to sqrpass tlieir valor, and yielded to
tin', mu-' ssity Bf tiie case. Our forces pivsse.l
• tiie'advani’.igc thus gained, and. the Yuukecs,
not having Succeeded in uniting their whole
10re,., continued, tv retreat. After this was
kiqit up for a while, they were more successful
in getting tlieir whole force together, and in the
vicinity of Stevoiisbing, a small village, they
drew up their 4nit.- in a commanding position
and offered us battle.
We were in an open field, they occuping
the only eminence in the vicinity. Orders soon
canto from Urn. Fits, Lee for us to advance and
'charge them. There was no flanking,' no shelter
uo protection whatever to our men. The charge
w. made with a cheer. The Fedeai’ls delivered
li'i i ipte volleys of musketry in our midst, and
thniriHi'tiliery ploughed through the lines; but
there was no halt—no wax eriu*; Above the din
of battle their yell was heard. Oil and on went

more, awiiv go theiu'lines to the rear in on
cont’iiseil mass. It was a grand sight. The put.
suit 'wrseont neil until v,e reached Brandy Sta

A desperate fight occurred at this point be
tween the opposing cavalry forces. For a while
the issue was -doubfuf. blit our cavalry rallied
to waver no-more till the Yankees were dridven
beyond the Rappahannock at Kelly’s For. A
decided victory has been gained by our troops.

Our 10. s was severe—not so heavy as that at
the enemy. We have captured many prisoners,
with then horses and equipments, and wbat was
