Tho diseolutiun of rhe 1 uiuo was an aoaotn plishcd fact, nor coaid any statcsm in * f any country forecat*t the means by which a govern ment professing to tubsist only by ‘h*- trill of tbo governed, could bo re-established apmori the desires of one-third of tho community after a tierce and sanguinary war.

Rut there is something Gill more curious about 1 the case. It happens that tho intervention m anxiously deprecated by tbo Federals must, if, exerted at all, Vic exerted to their prejudiee.- lntervention on behalf ot the North is rn im- ■ possibility. Not if all the resources of thoocyin- i try were at the disposal of Mr. Bright aud bis j friends, and all our potfer were thrown into the J northern sc ile, could we add to the strength or chances of the Federals in this singular oontest. 1 We might send thorn ships, but they have got as many as they went. They h ive already posses sion of the seas, and tho whole British navy could give them nothing more. We might lend thorn money, but of this, too, in some form or other, they have got enough to allow of a present expenditure of eight hundred thousand pounds a day. Ah to sending them in-n, nil the effective troops now sorving in England might be landed at New Yora without causing any perceptiblo increase in tbe fabulous numbers of the northern armies Wo might send them three times us inanv soldiqr* as we sent to Canada, without adding live por cent to their forces in the field. No rultr in tbe word ; not even the first Napoleon, ever disposed of so ‘ many men or • > much money as Abraham I-in- ‘ coin. lie has ful v f.'>o,ooo troops now under a.ms, and it is boasud thu 1 he could double tint itnrn ‘ her. His finances mny rest on a less sf.ible } foundation, but he hus, at any rate, enough and ‘ to spuro for the time. In uo political or milidry : operations have tbe Federals over been hamper- ! cd by tbe want of men or money, and if .hey ha ! ; to spend dome tiuu in turning eit j sous into sol diers, their t-nentie- were under the mie obligv lion. Intervention, therefore, on behalf of the horth, would be simply a nullity, tor no slliunce could add to its power or promote its ends. The case of tbe South, however, i- totally dif ferent.

But will New Orleans be given up upon a peace as a part of the Confederate States? No such peace will ever In* mnde. New Orleans will never be given up by the United States. Bought by Jefferson, defended by Jackson, re taken from a worse than British tyranny—the rule of the mob and the assae*iil—New Orleans must remain forever a part of the U nited States. The great Northwest demands it, the North easi, who have captured, requires it, und the Middle States look to it as an outlet lor their products, j The Mississippi is as necessnry to the body politic of tbo United Slate* aw is the carotid artery to tho human body. For weal or woe. “for bettei t r worse, in sickness and in health, for richer und poorer,” New Orleaus ami Louisiana are ndissolubly a part of the flesh and bone of the United States. This must be accepted as a fact, whether we like n or not. and \\>* may as well make up our minds to cudt re, if we do not love, the best Government the sun ever shone upon. Whenever the United Slates force* leave New Orleans against their will, the city will only be the fit home for the alligator uud the basking place of the moaquiiio.
