This gentleman is acquainted with the resources <if the Federal Government ipiib- u» well as any man among us ; be is also fully apprized of our own pour eis of endurance. His tmb-wdents, joined with bis discrimination, must invest ills judg ment with weight. But wlmt is there in the present aspect of our national affairs which i- fitted lo inspire hope.' The fact that as we are about to dose tin- third year of the war, we have in the field an army superior in every respect to what we were able to muster Info the service during the first year ol Hie war, is in itself an encourag ing consideration. So far as numbers, equip ments, discipline, morale, endurance, every thing in short which can’give efficiency to out army, is concerned, the Confederate troops mv today sujierior to any thing which has been attained in any previous part of tin 1 war. 't his fact in the face of the giganta: efforts \s lii,-li have hecii ma.i.r to crush us, is surely ground tor the hope that wo may Continue U) sustain ourselves though the struggle be prolonged in definitely. The recent discomfiture ol the enemy at the various points where he has sought to strike us is a prom’sing augury. We are now to wards the end of the first spring month; and though the weatirer has been as favorable ns possible fie military operations and though Hie etjeray has every possible motive, both from tiie disturbances which threaten him at home ami the strength which our armies are acquir ing by his procrastination, to advance - yet he is ensconced behind his entrenchments in (.’hat tanooga, declines a collision in Virginia, and withdraws his Hoops from Mississippi, “cowers under his gunboats’’ in Florida.

The growing derangement of the Federal currency and the advancing price of gold, is working silently to create a popular opinion in the United States ill lavor of a eessatiou of ljr>*tHiUeH. We have never thought that a financial crisis at the North would of itself leiiiiiuate the war. Nations have carried oil fierce and exteusiveVttrs in tiie midst, of com | meiciul panic. Many of the wars of European I'omiUies lia\e been prosecuted most zealously amid Hie x.evoiest revulsions iu the money mar ket People can tight when commerce is par tially destroyed, and gold is worth ten thou sand per i.eitf . premium. But they do not fight under theso circumstances, if it. be poasi ble lo avoid it. We are obliged to defend our selves without regal'd to commerce or gold. Rut were we waging war on Mexico, pecuniary difficulties would embarrass and might alto gether in tent our operations. This is the case with our enemies.

In the beginning of the war, tiie ranks ol the Northern army weie reavlHy tilled up by .vol unteers with v* rs moderate, and in most cases without any, bounty. Then there was a gen eral prostration ot business ali over t||e North, and multitudes were eoinpellod to join the ar my to secure a support. Then the zeal ol the people was fresh; they had not .counted the cost of subjugation. The war was to be short, they were promised an early return jo their home*, with honors-on their heads and cash in •heir pockets Now all this is changed. 1 here is ti Hem ind for labor.

The allusion in the Governor's message to the hereditary policy of Napoleon, aud the proposition contained iu the Stephens resolu tions of “peace upon the principles of 177fi." direct- (he mind naturally to the State Rights system of Europe. Tho idea prevails among many of our lead , iug men that Ktale liighte is purely an Amerl- j i-an question,—a mere party cry a sectional : issue used to subserve a temporary political ■ purpose. State Rights as tin* foundation stone j of Constitutional liberty, received its first grand j development in Holland; Switzerland, follow ing the example of Holland, adopted the sys- ; teiu iu A.D. 12110 and has maintained it ilown ; to the present day. The germ of the prim ipie is bound in Italy and originated there in the I,at in municipality. Rome impressed the doctrine ami the system upofi the face of Europe, ecu- ; tuiies before the Christian era. 'lho commer ' cial freedom of Venice, and the hulustrialsrc tivity of Lombardy, were impressed into the progress and civilization of Northern Europe, and became co operating elements in the his unic struggle of the Netherlands ; a struggle, which as the ally of the Reformation, over threw the temporal damnation of the Papncy. and as the ally of and individu al rights, disrupted and destroyed the colossal scheme ot Austrian and Spanish despotism. The United Stales of tin 1 Netherlands was taken as the model upon which oqr fare lathers in 17Tb. founded American Government, due American Union of 17TG, like the Union of the Netherlands, rested upon the pure and correct | principles of State Rights. We added there- • to the elements derived from the Common law of England, magua charta. Ne. Infatuated by the example of French Democ racy. and yielding to the persuasions of Haujil- ! ton Jctferson. and others, tire time houared ! n , u l well tried principle of Slate Right- was. in ITS'.' abandoned, aud the lust of consolidated 1 Empire substituted. Influenced by the exam- i pie of America. Holland, in an evil hour, chang ed her system and adopted ours. Mexico also followed our example. The Republics of South America did the same. Switzerland alone re fused to abandon her State Rights system Mexico rapidly fell to pieces. Holland, after AUGUSTA, GA„ WEDNESDAY MORNING, AFRIT, <;. isfii. Ia dreadful civil revolution, was divided into | two Kingdoms. South America relapsed into | anarchy, 'the United States are paying the ! bloody pi ice of their folly. Switzerland alone I-i fiee. These re : ,nits now so painfully appa rent to us, were not unforeseen by the great men who, in 17- S '.i, resisted lire danger of nu merical majorities and the dogma of Democrp.t ie eopsolUhitioti. No ed<mated man in this country can fail to trace the true source of our evils, if he will dispassionately iea.l the de bate* upon tin* adoption of the fu'-betne of the “more {.crU t union reared by ambitious fol ly in 17d‘i upon the ruins of the great Ameri can principles of 177d. Europe is to day con vnl-i-d by Hie contest between the unextin guisfiabl« principle of satisfied nationalities that is. State Rights—and the schemes of colos sal empire. On this Continent the same con flict is being waged. | It is something gained, that the Executive | of the sovereign common wealth of Georgia, should rear aloft that fundamental and endur ing system of government, unbodied in the simple word., "Feaee upon tin! principles of } 177i1." His s< mctliing gained that Fie plat form of (lie Northern opposition to lancoln is : embraced in tin* equally simple and equally I significant words, “Bence through the inter vention of the Slates.’’ We thus have an effec tual and irresistible principle to guide the .■states of Ihe South, and shape their policy, and a mode of action lor the States of Fee North in harmony with* that principle. The true States’ Bight, theory—however neutral ised heretofore by party practice is, that the Executive power is delegated by tiie States, as sovereigns. '1 he popular vote simply expresses the wish of Hie people and is instructive. The States, acting a.. States, through the electoral college alone possess the power to intervene and change tiie Executive. Accepting tire principles of 177(1 as the basis ol pacification and adjustment, the States Bights men of the North will enter upon the next Presidential contest with some prospect of success. Tiie termination of tiie American struggle through the triumphant vindication of the prin ciples of the first revolution, will exercise a powerful influence upon Europe. England, the hitter foe of the South and the crafty foe of the | North, will Strain every nerve to defeat tho success ol this principle. Russia, which desires lo see Lincoln theO.'ir of imperial Democracy in America, is < qiial'y interested in tin* milita ry consolidation of this (tonliuent But Napo- I Icon, the leader of the States’ Righ's system ; of the Old World, and backed by the whole : power ot Continental Europe proper, is the frioud of the principles ol 1770, us France lias i ever been the IVieud of American prospciity j and power. - ' i- wed in IJiis light, Hie Georgia movement, i as the R’chmoiid Whig truly says, is well e.al ! ciliated to impart elevation and enthusiasm to t lie Southern, cans •.

The surplus prisoners, not exchanged, shall not he permitted lo take up arms again, nor to serve as military police, or constabulary force in any foil, garrison, or fields work, held by either ol Hie lespeetive parties, nor as guards of piii’.ous, depots, nr stores, nor to discharge any only usually pet-fanned by soldiers, until exchanged under the provisions of this cartel, 'llie exchange is uol io be considered complete ; until the officer or soldier exchanged for has i keep, actually reatoied to the lines to w hich lie I belongs.'’ Upon the anival of eat h boat, the agents of | e&cbange are respectively furnished with a list* of the men and officers delivered—a regular j deld and credit sheet being thus kept, and a receipt given for each jot, # Eo far all i- plain. Now, as ts the apprehen sion that the prisoners recently returned at Gily Point mi) lc* kept on their parole by the per, istauee of tla* enemy for the conditions of a I'oi npil exchange, we may *ay that such l'earn are removed by u certain proyiuior, of the car tel not generally known. It appears that after .aft equivalent in prisoners lias been delivered on hot!) side.; then cm:/, pc,*/;/has the right, by the terms of tiie cartel, to declare an excharnje. The terras of this instiMineiit are too plain for misconstruction. Article four of the cartel reads : “Each party, upon the discharge of prisoners of the other parly, is authorized to discharge an rqiml number ot their own id'eeis or men from parole, furnishing at tlu* same time to the ot)i**r party u list of their prisoners discharged hud of their own officers and men relieved from parole ; thus enabling erfiili party to re lieve from parole su, !i ot their own officers and m>'ti as the p irtv may choose. The lists th ns mutuilly tin lushed will keep both parties advised of the true condition of the exchange of prisoners.** m U is entirely apparent from the language quoted above, that it is competent for our Com missioner to declare, at any day. those prison ers for whom equivalents lifive been returned, duly exchanged, and thus qualified again for the field. This course was taken in the case of the Y ickslmrg prisoners. The only condition to such a declaration is that the enemy should have an equivalent in prisoners discharged from parole ; and this done the Confederate authorities may declare the prisoners returned into their lines exclianged, without other for mality, or the possibility of restraint by any new conditions of tiie enemy, oi any supple ments: v negotiations for what the cartel al j 'ready determines. lnr. rßot'ULiis in Li\,\hai»om.—The internal strife, long predicted, has just commenced in Liqcoludoui. 1 Ire tools of the administration sire -endeavoring.to crush ojjt free press and and.freo speech, by mold aw.

Some of tho rabid sheets endeavor to explain away the causes o the general gloom now existing The New York Times remarks thus on the subject: The fgef that probably gives rise to the most wide-spread despondency is, that we have as yet accomplished nothing in our spring opera tions.

Ax Exui.ish Opinion- or Tins Position’ of A trains. Tiie Liverpool Albion in commenting on tho position of affairs in this country, speaks thus; Vve have the opportunity of perusing many letters front the Con federate States, lint in no instance do we find any symptoms of despon dency :«,s to the ultimate result. True, the pie ’’.ufl-’i’ severely; but they have become callous to temporal y disasters and to personal privations, determined, through any amount ol misery, to compter their independence. And assuredly they will do so, though years ol ex tensive siillering may elapse before their exer tions arc crowned with success, if all we hear be true and, to a,great extent, wo believe tiie reports which reach us—the Confederacy, in the coming spring, will place in the field a more formidable force than-at any previous period. With armies composed largely of vet eran soldiers and patriotic citizens, fighting lor their homes and ail they hold dear, who can doubt the result of an encounter between such troops and those who arc forced into the Fed eral service by conscript m u, by w ant, and the temptation of enormous bounties ? We observe in the American papers fearful accounts of the demoralization which prevails among the col ored people liberated and attached to the Fed., era! armies.

A Gmtwait EpiuiA’ior luNCoux.—A German correspondent of a Boston radical paper writes from Washington as follows; “As for Mr. Lincoln, be h is not the least in terest for uve.

Lincoln, they say, wauls if so, ami, to please her, the republican President inns! make laid queyd of a do.’,eu republican citizens every day. Even in Europe no Prince permits himself such humbug. Congress ought to take hold of this matter. One,of the most prominent politicians in Washington tohl me lie heard Mr. Lincoln say, ’ The' best policy js to have no policy at till.’ 1 replied, '•translated into German, that fuettus, it is best to have no punciples at all, and as little sense as possible. This is aptly expressed by our German proverb: ‘lie gets along by his stupidity.” Audit itt very simple: for those who aie Hifartcr make use of him, aud those win, are still more stupid .aid him. ’ KnimitAi, ►Spreel-vri o.\ ox run VVaii.—The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tittle::, writing of the probable tormina thm of (lie war, say-. : The administration is -still endeavoring to maf.eWhe public believe that the rebellion is on ih. last leg:!, ami ilia l tiie war will be ended with tiie campaign of next suoijier. Never was there a greater delusion. To those .who know the real facts, it is evident that tiie end of the war, as far as the conquest or the subjugation of the -South is concerned, is as far oil' now as it was two years ago. Tho South may not have as many troops in the field in ISU4 an they hud in ltjbii. Hut, if they only have only three hundred tliuosuqd, they ban give abqmlaul employment to over six hun dred thousand, ami i! they have four hundred thousand, they can attack Washington besides. It is understood that ttye South will noi act entirely on the defensive, and will peek to draw our armies as far as possible info Hn: interior Os tiie Country’, where they expect to defeat’ them. And there is v ery little doi;bt that they wili dspaci, from the defensive system, so far as to make an attack upon Washington. If they do this, and act on the defensive every where else, they have means and material for carrying on the \yar for live years more. lam satis tied, from the information that reaches me, that Ricfimond witi never be abandoned ieo long as the Confederacy cun put fifty thousand troops in the field. lIKAi-OEc,mid's Strategy.— Our readers will remember the account some time since of our batteries having opened a furious lire upon Morris Island, ( iiarieston. The Lake City cor respondence of the Savannah Republican affords the following key to tiie affair. A remarkable incident has been communica ted to me on the high! .a authority. When, Gen. .Finnegan telegraphed General Beaure gard for troops, the latter ordered Geu. Col quitt here. Ay hour afterwards he was inform ed that the enemy was landing in full force, and pressing Colquitt’s position. Beauregard or dered Colquitt to hold he; position, but that niglit,aka feint, he opened all bis guns on Morris Island, and the enemy supposing an as sault was being'made, recalled their troops, when Beauregard immediately ordered Geuer al Colquitt here; and he reached here in time to prevent the enemy occupying Tallahassee, and according to European* ethics claiming that to be the capture of the State; for had the enemy been successful at Ocean Pond, there not five hundred men be tween them ijnil the werecapltal, aud with the capture of our rolling stock at Lake City, they would have soon reach ed Tallahassee and fallen back on St. Marks as a base, and by water held communication with the world. Viewed in this respect, it Is one of.the decisive battles of the war, and has preserved the State to' Ihe Confederacy; not that she wished to abandon the Stars and Bars —far from it—hut the enemy would have so claimed. Fnsmoj, op Leaiumi English Statesmen.— The London Index, of Feb. 4, iu speaking of the position of the leading English Statesmen on the American question, remarks thus ; Four fifths of the House wish the Confedera cy should he recognized, but do not choose to pass such a vote except on the responsibility of a leading statesman; and no leading ..tales man is prepared to take the responsibility of recognition. Lord Dei by will not do it; and the Tories cannot corue withou Lord- Derby. Lord Russellm il -not do it. agd LordH’altnerstn dare not throw him overboard. Amlin truth, except Lord R.
