ependence of the Southern Confederacy, a plentiful supply of cotton from the South for England, plentiful quantities of all things needful for the South from European ports, a still more terrible and effective blow at the commerce and manufactures of the Northern cities, the rapid growth of the cities of the South, and not improbably a speedy termination of the war forced upon the South by the abolition fanatics of the North. Some persons here think Seward will soon turn up crazy, and that Lincoln, the elegant gentleman who so ably presides over the attractive menagerie, will be devoured by some of the wild beasts around him. The remarkably bright, dry and healthful weather continues. Indeed we have almost a drought in winter. The cisterns are nearly empty, the roads are dusty, and the swamps and low-grounds are getting as dry as in summer time. It is not improbable that we shall have a change before Christmas, and that there will be enough of rain, snow and cold weather befo

, to welcome his distinguished friend back to the soil of Virginia. He had no apprehensions that the proposed exchange of prisoners would be refused. The Government could well afford to give up half a dozen Elys for such a trade as this. [A voice, Orregiment of Eiys!!!] Yes, said the Governor, a regiment of such men for one like Mr. Faulkner. When he read the news from Europe, in the Northern papers, on the previous night, he agreed with John R. Edmunds, to pray devoutly that God would Lincoln backbone! If the Federal Government had the nerve to stand up to their professions, he expected to hear that New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, would be bombarded in turn. The Governor spoke a few more encouraging words to the people, and closed by refferating his welcome, as the representative of the sovereignty of the State, to the distinguished gentleman who had just addressed them. The Mayor was again called out, and closed the public ceremonies with a patriotic address. Mr. Fa

A New way to Cure Chills --Miraculous Escape from Death.--It is stated that a soldier of a Mississippi regiment, at Pensacola, went to his tent and blankets the other day to fight through an ague. A bottle of hot water to put to his feet not being convenient, some of his comrades went out and picked up one of the numerous shells Col. Brown sent over during the bombardment, heated it at the fire and put it to bed with the sick man's feet. Unhappily, the shell had lost its cap, but had not exploded. The heat of the camp fire accomplished what Lincoln's pyrotechnic had failed in — to wit: an explosion. The tent was blown to pieces, and some of the men a little hurt and greatly astonished.--We are happy to learn that no one was killed by the mishap.--Mobile Advertiser.

and of breadstuffs, which she will more need than we do her war material. The New York Tribune says: In this emergency we do not presume to say what the Government should or should not do. Whatever course it may adopt will be determined by mature and careful consideration of all the rights and duties of the case.--Meanwhile, the first and most pressing of our duties is to finish the rebellion and the blockade at once, by employing the promptest and most efficient means. President Lincoln wisely forebore any allusion to the arrest in his message to Congress. The Government is, as yet, uncommitted with reference to it. Lord Lyons will probably in his first communication merely recite the facts, and make a demand for suitable reparation. Our Government will have first committed itself to the position it intends to take in Secretary Seward's reply, which will, no doubt, be well weighed and couched in guarded language. The result will very likely be a long diplomati

t of his reception will be found elsewhere. Mr. Faulkner was arrested most unjustifiably by the Lincoln Government. He had returned home from his post as Minister of the late United States to France, and repaired to Washington for the purpose of surrendering his stewardship of National affairs and settling his accounts. While in the performance of this closing part of his business with the most disgusting Government on the face of the earth, he was seized as if he were a criminal, and without even the immunities of a criminal of an examination, and the being confronted by his accuser, he was thrust into prison. This case was one of the greatest outrages inflicted by the brutal Lincoln Administration upon Southern citizens. His arrival is hailed with great satisfaction by his fellow-citizens generally. He is at least one out of the dark dungeons of Lincoln, where there is no accuser, no trial, and no hope, but in the final triumph of our armies over the hordes of the North.

he genial domestic virtues of their renowned ancestry. The taint of Northern pelf and the ulcers of Northern Red Republican demagogues will rapidly vanish as the old State passes through the furnace of affliction into which she has been cast by Lincoln, with a fiercer rage than that of the idolatrous Nebuchadnezzar. Hence it is, sir, that, drawing much consolation from this faith, we strive to mitigate the rigor of our exile, and to stifle the sorrow which rises in our hearts as we listenMaryland to join the cotton States whilst other great States, lying between her and the new Confederacy, remained even nominally in union with the North. The delay from December to April was fatal to her; and that delay was beyond her control. Lincoln then came into power, with his navy threatening the bay and rivers which penetrate the State at every vital point, and with his army gathering its mighty columns from the North, professedly for the protection of the Federal Capital, but in reali
