uring addles until he is beyond the reach of help or the hope of mercy. He struggles? He cries for help! He throws up his hands in agony! In vain! Nothing can save him from the mighty gulf of waters. Under the direction of such captains as Lincoln and Chase, the ship of State is whirling round in the outer current of a financial Maelstrom. Nothing can save it. You may cry "traitor" at every man who tells the truth about the matter, but such cries will not check the speed at which the Adm seems to be obvious of the fact that all this property is in the hands of individuals, or depends upon the result of individual enterprise.--Behind all this sits the individual will, on which depends entirely the question of the redemption of Mr. Lincoln's paper promises to pay. We have seen that the whole surplus income of the country will fail a good way short of paying even the interest on the debt, and we must sink interest and principal together, at no distant day, unless a change speedil

n. Green, who was the only great military officer that Yankeedom ever produced, and who became a Georgian by adoption, the "Northern support" alluded to by the Times amounted to nothing. "A few feeble companies from Pennsylvania," says the Courier, "reached South Carolina and did service; but beyond this, and a few staff officers, perhaps, no Northerner ever pressed Southern soil in defence of the Revolution." This is unquestionably true. The powerful army of which the Yankee General, Lincoln, made a gift to Sir Henry Clinton at Charleston — shutting himself up in that city while the enemy was all powerful by sea and land, and had nothing to do but blockade the harbor, and throw a force of double his strength around it by land — was composed almost entirely of men from Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia. To the best of our knowledge and belief, there were not half a dozen companies of Yankees among them. The large army which Gates afterwards so foolishly threw awa
The Daily Dispatch: April 8, 1864., [Electronic resource], The "Rebellion" not to be Crushed by "Mere Weight." (search)
The "Rebellion" not to be Crushed by "Mere Weight." --The New York Herald, in an article on the new calls of Lincoln for troops, says: We ought to crush the Confederacy by mere weight. But it is not the first time that our armies have doubled those of the enemy in force, and we have seen that it is futile to place a blind reliance on numbers. Seven hundred thousand men in six armies, operating on different lines, at different times, will be wasted in detail against two hundred thousand concentrated under an active General. Every great war shows this over and over again, and, above all, our own war shows it. It is as simple as that two and two make four; yet it is from a neglect of this very simple principle that we have hitherto failed to destroy the rebel armies. Organization is necessary, men are necessary, and material is necessary; but concentration and concerted action are more necessary than all. Enough men have been assembled at Washington city, under the orders

sad, my lord, to witness the flower of our peasantry, at this moment in America, imbruing their hands in each others blood? Why does the Irishman, who craves for liberty at home, and who complains of mis-government here, support at the risk of his life the most degraded despotism the world has yet seen? and why does he (becoming forsooth fascinated with the flowery rhetoric and persuasive powers of Mr Ward Beecher, et hoc genus omne,) enrol himself under the "abolition banners" of Abraham Lincoln, and congratulate himself that he is on a crusade to grant an unsolicited freedom to three, millions of "Africans," who are better clothed, better lodged, and beyond all better fed than he is himself? I shall answer these questions briefly. No feeling of animosity against a people gallantly struggling for liberty, influences the mind of the Irish peasant, when he salts to America, no sympathy with despotism actuates him to enlist in the Northern army; no hatred of the institution of s
