KYBNING EDITION; SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 28, 1865. 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. * The Supreme C -art Os Georgia } -»-■ r- at'- f firmed the eemmmuosmlity of he re- j Taking mtHiary xe«iptfi*» #A on *<?. i count *sbttUu<io* 1 « : *o ?Aj»t ! though a •I'm-., rj.e tr V;.. ; •nd e*Hl i« *e r Tir«, bU pri*c t!*_**#. : toss rxemjtt Fet-W • a*'.of x»o 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.

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.
