Colonel Dahlgren, on whose person was
found written evidence of rim diabolical plot
to sack Richmond and kill the President and
Cabinet, and who was a ring-leader, is said to
have been a young man of gentle, winning
deportment. No doubt, says the Richmond
Presbyterian, lie was “as mild a mannered
man as ever scuttled a ship or cut a throat.’’
The evidence is beyond question that he wn3
a villain. A just God did not allow this chief
of the assassins to escape death. His degra
ded body meets a proper tate. \v'e know of
nothing which so completely tits the case as
th «* prediction of Jeremiah concerning one. of
the royal house : "They shall not lament for
j him saying, Ah, his glory ! He shall he buried

The Mobile Register exposes one of the
disastrous results of military interference i
with the regular course of trade. It says; 1
“The ‘beauties’ of the order prohibiting
shipment of meat aud breadstuff's to Mo
bile by the Mobile road, have resulted j
shamefully and disgracefully. The amount 1
of prov ision awaiting shipment, but which
wtue withheld by an infamous order, that |
were destroyed or consumed by the Fed- 1
erals, would have lasted Mobile a twelve
month, yet these supplies were invitingly
placed at the disposal of the Yankees.'’—
Sherman destroyed them, and the people
suffer. \V ho is to blame most- -the au
tli. jii\ l>\ which the order was issued, or
th. ini' who destroyed the supplies?

The American War.
Territorially, the South lias no doubt
lost something; hut site has lost, infinitely
less (ban she was generally expected-, and
not a foul th of what some peculiarly auda
cious partisans of the Federal cause have
lately set down to its credit. They say
that the Confederacy now holds one half
of the territory it claims. The answer is ,
simply that tlu is utterly untrue, in the
“claim,” of course, are included Missouri
and Kentucky, of which the Ooniedr rate
Government never held possession, aud of
which the North will not keep possession
when once it is defeated in its main ob~
ject. Os the eleven States represented
at Richmond, in July, 1862, only one has
been temporarily reduced under Federal
rule, or rather occupied by Federal armies, j
Since the out break of the war the South |
has lost Tennessee and a fragment of Ar- '
kanaas, a little portion of the riverside!
territory in Louisiana, and insulated posi
tions iu Florida and the Carolina®.
The Federate occupy post in Mississip
pi, but that is all Northern Virginia is |
simply a devastated battle field, of which
the North cannot be said to have posses
sion For all practical purposes ten of
the eleven States ate still held by theOon
federate excepting such portions of them
as have been actually occupied by Federal
tr op i under the protection of their guns
boats. A territory mpre than three times
as large as France remains entirely unsuh>
dued, and, at their present rate of pro
gress, which is not likely to bo maintained
ir would take the North ten years to over
run 4. Even when overrun, it would
i he conquered; but we ueed not enter into
| any discussion of what may Lappcu in a
| case so far removed from practical proba
j bility.
IF at any moment that should occur
which has more than once seemed on the
point of coming to pass, if the Confeder
ates should gain a decided victory in the
| West, while driving the army ui The Po
: tomao out of Virginia, the North would
! have lost at a blow everythin^--except
! New Orleans—that it has gained hi three
years of warfare; while, ns we have seen,
the .South may sustain a 'defeat without
losing anything of her essential strength
and powci of seif defense. It. is quite
clear tliat she will maintain it until her
independence is recognised; and it is for
Europe to consider whether the termina
tion of a war which is a disgrace and an
affliction to mankind shall be allowed to
await the slow recovery of the North from j
the fever dream of conquer,, «l>outs and
empire.

iiti.-.n. W \-.i> Beecher on the Cgnped
eea.is —ItvT. Henry Ward Beecher, a few
in\ -in:*, is ncr startled his hearers at the
Wym.-.-ib L'burcb; in Brooklyn, in a eulogy
on our troop , in the course of a sermon de
signed to shrw that the price of liberty was
dot oni. eternal vigilan e. but eternal self
shci .tic According a -Nc-» i.ut. p. .per he
rein vrked :
•Where shall we find such heroic telf-de
uiaV such upbearing under physical discom
fort, such patience in poverty, it. .ii-dtess, in
absolute want, as we find iu the Southern ar
uv ? They fight better in a Lad cause than
you do in a good one; they fight better for a
passion than you do for a sentiment. We be-
lieve them misguided, but wo must do them
the credit of saying they fight well, and bear
up under trouble nobly; they suffer and do
not complain ; they go in rags, but do not
rebel. they are iu earnest for their personal
liberty ; they believe in it, and, if they can,
they mean to get it.
.Mr. Beecher also denied that slavery was
dead. . ‘ D©ad ! he exclaimed, “we know
that within the lines of the frontier army there
are yet thr£e millions of slaves. As yVt, we
learn they are docile, amenable to the will of
their masters, patient subservient. Don't be
deceived.’’
The following parody of the beautiful lines of
Goldsmith were taken from the sign of a silk dyer.
It undoubtedly obtained for him many a fair cus
tomer :
When lovely woman tilts her saucer,
And finds too late that tea will stain, ,
What ever made a lady oroaser ?
Wha* art can wash all white again ?
The only art the stain to cover,
To hide the spot from every eye.
And wear an unsoiled dress above her
Os proper color, is—to dye.
What's the Matter ?—ln the new book called
•‘Miseegeuation,” written by a young mulatto
woman, there is the following oompliuiontary pas
sage explaining “what’s de matter' with Xew Png
land:
The white race which settled in New England
will be unable to maintain ita vitality as a blonde
people. They need the intermingling of the rich
tropic temperament of the negro to give warmth
and fullness to their natures. They feel the yearn
ing and do not know how to interpret it.
Thu Exchange D^pge.—The Richmond cor
respondent of the Charleston Courier has some
speculations concerning tho intention of the Van
keos regarding the exchange of prisoners, lie
says:

prisoners all the winter long, and sending them

and ought somehow to be foiled.
The Georgia Platform.— Wo notice from j.•nm
ol mir exchanges that we have been arinitrui t to,
gi\iyg our support to what tsi\ designate the
“Georgia Platform.’ We disclaim any such inten
tion.
It is true that we opposed the u pen-ion of the*
writ of habeas eorpu*, and regarded it as stukrUfe,
: at the Constitutional liberties of the people, an t
i utterly inconsistent with free Government , n r do
we think the necessity has ever existed in,\ the
I formation of this Government to .ntl. it. We
have also been consistently opp... ml to usurpation
and centralization, and shall always condemn,
with all our power, auy step t wards the accom
plishment ot that end. We dd not approve o ihc
secret session of Congress, for it renders u : i mem
bers entirely irresponsible to an intelligent con
rUituency, by whose voices they hold their out.
nor does it in any manner a? Tat them in carrying
on this war. We believe ii the right of every vo
ter to know what course his representative portae
tuat it may enable him either to approvo.or repre
hend. But with the present vml of secresy thrown
over their proceedings, ini-, privilege is not accor

However, at this particular lime, when the hated
