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.

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.

Lt a devil trick, 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.
