A Lcison from History.
A CORBKCT Vlg\V OF THIS BJSEMY £ BUCCESBKS.
We commend the following articles from
the New York News to the considerate perusal
of Southern readers who are disposed to be
gtoomv and despondent of t' e Confederate
cause. If men in the North can take such a
view of the condition of affairs, surelv the
people of th* South should feel not only bone
ful, but confident of final success. For our
selves, we were never more sanguine of the
final result. That the South will succeed in
her struggle, we have an abiding faith. That
it will be through sufferings and trials that th*
people of Georgia have not yet endured wo
firmlj believe But the successful end will
surely come ;
SAVANNAH “ 0U83.”
The capture of Savannah is a brilliant mili
tary achievement, but it is worthless as an
agency of reconstruction. It proves that Sher
man is a skillful General ; but no military
genius is capable of rejoining the broken links
es sectional concord and fraternity. The po
litical welfare of our country depends upon
statesmanship and patriotism, not upon abili
ty and heroism in the field. Those that pur
pose the extermination of the Southern people
may congratulate themselves as, step by step,
the sword pursues its mission of destruction,
but the patriot has only cauße tc mourn at the
tidings of the fall of Southern strongtiolds„th*
occupation of Southern cities, and the rout of
Southern armies. If, by striking down so
many men upon the field of battle, or by bold
ing so many square miles of territory under
th* stern rule of th* bayoue’, we could bend
the stubborn spirit of resistance, or restore
the old feeling of brotherhood that created
the Republic, there would be some reason to
rejoice at the progress of the Federal arms
But every victory plants anew germ of bitter
ness and hatred, and in proportion as the
Federal armies advance the spirit of reconcil
iation recedes, leaving the fruits of discord
and contention to mature in the path of con
quest and desolation.
Savannah haß fallen, and the popular ex
pectation eagerlj awaits the intelligence that
Wilmington has succumbed. What then?—
What if, besides, the pride of Charleston
should he humbled? What if Mobile should
be captured and Riohmond should yield to
the veteran hosts of Grant ♦ The possession
of brick and mortar, and deserted streets does
not give the conqueror control over the hearts
of living men Napoleon issued his bulletins i
from almost every capital in Europe, bat from
all the vast area of his conquest he was una
ble, in the end, to claim as much as would
suffice him for a grave.
The capture of the ports on the Southern
coast would cost the North pot only the price
ot capture, but the price of occupation, and
the Southern armies would be recruited in
proportion, by the release of thousands of
their soldiers from garrison duty. The Old
Man of the Sea would be shifted from Ocnfe
derate to Federal shoulders, and the armies of
the North, grouped at intervals along the
coast from Norfolk to New Orleans, would
waste their strength in watehing stone walls,
and quiet harbors, while their enemies would
be concentrating for active operations in the
interior. It is true that the channel of sup
plies from foreign markets would be blocked;
but a people that are fighting for independ
ence need but the fruits of their native soil
rer sustenance and the fabrics of their own !
hands for clothing.
Marion’s frugal repast and his rude shelter !
in the Carolina swamp did not weaken bis ]
muscles or subdue his spirit. The wild Cau- j
easiaqs, in their mountain fastnesses, hemmed !
in on every side, were able to baffle the vast ;
armies of Russ'a for nearly half a century.— ■
The only question is, whether the Southern
people have as much fortitude and love of i
liberty as those half civilized mountaineers. >
The question is answered when we call to !
mind that they are Americans, the noble de j
scendants of our revolutionary fathers and !
the legatees of freedom. To such men adver
sity is strength. They are like the mariners,
who sleep in the sunshine, but when the storm
rages and danger assails them on every side,
they rally tothesbriil sound of the boatswain’s ;
whistle, and spring, all life and zeal and fear
lessness, to their ailotied duties. After every :
disaster to the Confederate arms, »t cry, not of I
terror or faint beartedness, but of rage and :
proud defiance, has gone forth from the South,
more thrilling and expressive of their indom
itable will than any shout of victory. So 1
will it be to the end, and only when every j
Southern voice is hushed in dta'h will that
cry be stilled. Even then, nowhere will be
neard the accents of submission, but the si- ;
ience of the wilderness will reign amid the !
graves of a slaughtered people and the ruins
of their homes.
The psens of victory that ascend from the
North are the death knells of their own liber
ties. Republicanism cannot long live in the
atmosphere of civil strife, and every Federal
success but to prolong the war. For four
years the land has been convulsed with the
exhausting throes of intersectional contention,
and already our political structure is so
changed that its builders would not recognize '
its defaced and shattered form. Our fathers
gave us a Republic for an inheritance, and 1
four years of civil war have transformed it
into a military despotism. If our own people,
blinded by the dust and smoke of battle, and
intoxicated by the blood that reeks from their
polluted soil, cannot realize that they are
ruled by the bayonets that obey the one man
power, let them ask of Europe, that surveys
the infernal scene with mingled feelings of}
pity, scorn and wonder, what is our condition.
Let the war continue four years longer, and
the principle of self-government will be buried
in the hearts of enthralled patriots, to be ex
tinct for ever, or to await resurrection at the
hands of future generations The tiiamph of
the Federal arms over the sovereign States of
the South may make us a great power in the
family of nations, may blazon our escutcheon
with military laurels and raise us to the giddy ’
elevation that Rome attained by conquest ere j
she tottered in the biaxe of glory and ;••!! into
the abyss; but farewell, then, the Republic, i
The sword and the purse will govern, and the
voices of the people will have no loftier then e
than the adulation of their rulers. The fall of
Savannah is a splendid victory; but is one
blow upon the anvil where the chains of the
North are being forged. *

Th* issuing of letters of marque by ex-
Presideot Juarex to Americans, against French
ship*, and especially against steamers of the
French Trans-Atlantic Company, is said by
the Shipping Gazette, in a paragraph copied
in this journal some days ago, to be confirmed
by advices from Nantes. One of these steam
ers, having on board £200,000 in specie, w as
. couvoyed \ era Crui by a French man
of-war
It this be a fact, it is one of no inconsider
able interest We are surprised thatJnares
has noi before adopted this obvious mode of
harassing his enemy. The example of the
Southern Confederacy has shown that a few
fast ships can drive a larger commerce than
that ot Frauce from the face of the oceau
The ships ot no nation can afford adequate
protection to its merchantmen ; and France,
powerful as she is on land, has never bpen
distinguished by naval aptitude and enter
prise. We can only conclude that Juarez
must hart- been hitherto dissuaded bv the
United States Government from adopting a
means of annoyance and retaliation which,
effective as it is, might ultuaately lead to a
collision between the United States aud
France. Whether that opposition, for rea
sons best known to itself, has been withdrawn
by the United States, or whether Juarez has
determined to consult only his own inclina
tions, and accept the ready aid of American
privateers, remaius to be seen. Iu any event.
| Ibe issuing ol letters of marque is a measure
which will give France a fresh annoyauce,
and which may lead to serious complications
between th® two GoTernmenis.
The gusto with which Yankee privateers
would avail themselves of such license may
easily be imagined. Mr. Seward could not
restrain them, eveu if he had the disposition.
Such prospects of wholesale plunder would
be too tempting for the sternest Yankee vir
tue. It would be useless to point out to them
that by embarrassing the relation* of the
Uuited States and France it might prevent
the rebellion, which i.s now positively making
| its last appearance on any boards. “A bird
in the hand,” in the opinion of that practical
people, “is worth two in the bush." If Jua
rez has, in reality, issued letters of marque to
American ships, every New England harbor
will swarm with fast-going vessels, now un
employed in consequence of Capt. Semmes ;
aud they will make up the losses inflicted by
that enterprising pirate by imitating his ex
ample with astonishing energy. To do them
justice, the Yankee* as privateers and pirates,
have few equals. Capt. Kidd, in his palmiest
days, never approached them in dash and ra
pacity. They will oarry off French merch
antmen Irora under the very guns of their
mea-of-war, und iu twelve months from the
time they begin operations a French trading
vessel will net be seen on the ecean.
' We fear that the thing is too good to be trne.
; But, if so, where will France find protection
'■ for her commerce? Will she have to resort,
| us the United States have done, to the Eug
| iish flag? That would be too sore a humilia
tion for the grand nation But it wonld be
'no refuge. Yankee privateersmen, though
honest and scrupulous as their nation in gen
eral proverbially is, might make mistakes.—
Laboring under the delusion that England
has been been the real privateer of the Con--
federacy, and i* the responsible party for all
! the damages they have suffered, their eyes
, r*ight be blinded and their bitter principles
[ Overcome by the combined influence of re
; venge and rich cargoes. Tuey might, choose
| to consider the English flag, whenever they
i met it, a mere cover for fraud and humbug—
| two things which are especially abhorrent to
: Yankee character. In this way they might
! render the ocean as unsafe a highway for
| English as Frcaeh commerce, and make the
| whole maritime world pay tribute to their
enterprise.
If Juarez has adopted this policy, he is a
very sensible man for a Mexican. The eoa«-
. mereial acquisitions which the Emperor sought
in obtaining Mexico would be reduced by
! Yankee privateering to a very fine point in
deed. He would either have to give in to the
Monroe doctrine, as interpreted by the Unit
ed States House of Representatives, and take
himself cut ot the country, or be drifted into
a war with the United States. If it were
Lord Palmerston, we should have no hesita
tion in predicting his course. He would im
mediately make a profound obeisance to W.
H Seward, pack up his carpet-bag and be off.
But there is some national and military pride
in France. She is never unprepared to tight,
and therefore may be disposed to risk conclu
sions with Brother Jonathan. The ouiy mis
chief the United States can inflict is upon her
commerce; and it she must suffer that with
out a war. there could be no great hazard in
attempting a little retaliation.— Richmond Dis
patch.
Gold. —Several accidental and temporary
causes have of late conspired to aid the panic
makers in appreciating the price of gobt—
The bill proposing to sequestrate the property
of such persons as have voluntarily left ihe
limits of the Confederacy has set the friends
and families ot many us these upon turning
their effects into specie, with precipitation and
on whatever terms The same process oi con
version by the negroes, free and slave, who
have attempted flight or been preparing tor it,
has been no inconsiderable element in this
local demand for gold. Added to these is the
increased demand in the South, consequent
upon the occupation of Savannah. The large
quantity of Confederate currency held by the
citixens there, but not ow available to them,
has been seeking conversion into gold through
every possible avenue of cominunicaiion ; and
the effect of this Budden ueceesitv has been
to raise the price of specie in that quarter.
The supplies here being drawn from the South,
the advance there is, of course, felt at once
in Richmond.
In addition to these things, it may be men
tioned that the breakage in our communica
tions, caused by the freshets, has interrupted
the transmission of fund's to the Government,
and caused, for a tew days, an interruption
in the meeting of the demands which have
matured against the Treasury. The inconve
nience of this has fallen upon the public cre
ditors. These various causes, in concurrence
with the miserable croaking which has dispi
rited the people, have begotten a sort of pan
ic, senseless, because without ary adequate
grounds, vet mischievous, because tending to
produce the evils which it flies.
Legislation, in relation to the traffic in gold
in some of the parties we have above descri
bed. muv do much good. The temporary cir
‘cumstaoces to which we have ai,uded will
soon pass away. If, in addition to the?e, cur
people will only consent to bf quiet and sen
sible. and not fly off on a stampede, like a
herd of frightened buffaloes, on every little
alarm, we shall avoid all finch injurious and
discreditable exhibitions as that which w*a r *

have been Lane had he not died and gone t«
I his last account, to answer for that basest of

that bore him in her womb. But Jerrv Clem

bows down her strength and mauhood at the

A sueak, a drunkard, and a traitor must be a
good enough Governor for a political commu
nity of dastards, who did more than sell their
birthrights for a moss of pottage—who relin
quished their God-given liberties because they
were cowards who dared not defend them.
But the multiplicity of candidates and tiia
earnestness and numbers of their friends and
advocates, we take as a hopeful sign.

Bravo! To join so cheering aud patriotic a

and also nominate a man tor Governor. With

that should enter into the constitution of a
worthy Goveruor of a free State. He ha* tal

It is rmnorvJ, say* the Afobile Tribune of Ifo
24th, that there are from four to six thousand of tLb
enemy at Paseagoula with strong entrenchment*.—
: We suppose that it ie pleasanter to be thero than at
| Ship or Dauphin Island, or Mobile Point, and per
haps, it is considered weli to take them away front
; New Orleans. The entrenchments, we tuppose, atq
j to secure them from movements front this side; or,'
j it may be, to f'>rm a oamp, gathor supplied and ho
I ready for operations on the opening of the spring.
We regret to letrn (says the Raleigh Confederal*}
that the report oftho surrender of his battalion of
Jumor Reserves by Major it but too true, au A
that, too, uuder circumstances very damaging to
his reputation. All the facts will doubtless soon b«
published. V*'e understand t-at one Captain flatly
refused to be surrendered, and marched out with
eighteen of his company.
Metropolitan Krcoro on Rbooovition.—Th*
j New York Metropolitan Rceord has the courage to
maintain its independent tone in the lace of tha
I overwhelming re-election of Lincoln. In an a»-
i tide entitled “The Democracy and the Coming
| Crisis,” in its issue of the 17ta of December, it says
“It is at least understood that the war is a failure
i and the Southern Confederacy a fixed fact The
Democratic party must accept the logic of accom
plice I facts, and openly proclaim its opposition to
the further orosecution of the war as n useless and
criminal expenditure of life arid money. Opposi
tion to the war must hereafter be one of the princi
pal plauks in its platform-opposition to the war oa
the principle that the people at the Bouth have *
right to select their own form of government.—
Peace and recognition are now the two great point*
in our policy; they are, in fact, the vital issues of
| the hour.”
The correspondent of the Mobile Tribune says,
' the enemy committed terrible outrages at Pollard.
. I know a young lady there whose bonny bluo eyes
; and brown tresses had excited the admiration *f
! many a beholder, whose person was shamefaLj
I violated by negro troops, and she left in a living
fate worse than the most horrid death. Her father,
a good old man, ovar seventy five years of age,
had been hurried off a prisoner. Sbe offered the
fiends a twenty dollar gold piece, all the money
the had, the perpetual gift of better days, to spar*
her, but without avail. They took the money, but
subjected her to their inhuman desires. Sorely
an avenging God will not permit the perpetration
of such diabolical arts ta go unpunished.
