Great Britain and France. The humane desire evinced by these foreign Governments that the separation of the late United States may be consummated without bloodshed, presents an instructive contrast to the unparalleled ferocity of our enemies, not only insisting upon blood, but sending their worst criminals, thieves, cut throats and murderers, sworn to give no quarter. Civilised Europe will stand aghast with astonishment at the amazing depravity and vindictiveness of New York, which is crying out with one voice to hang and exterminate every human being in the Southern States. Lord Palmerston will be astounded to learn not only that the North demands warfare, which we are prepared to meet more than half way, but warfare of the most savage and implacable character, in which neither age, sex nor condition is to be spared. Whether the great Powers of Europe will feel justified in interposing aught but remonstrances against this unheard of wickedness, we are of course unable to

tism, and proclaimed her independence. We welcome her noble people to the Confederacy of the South. The hunters of Tennessee, whose deadly fire at the battle of New Orleans made such havoc among the enemy, will be once more in the field, fighting against an enemy ten thousand times more tyrannical and odious. The war of 1812 was fought by Southern men for Yankee commerce; the war of the Revolution, itself, was fought by the South for the benefit of the North. Never did we suffer from Great Britain any wrongs that deserve to be mentioned in the same day with those which we are now in arms to resist. And, for one, we would rather, to-morrow, be a subject of Queen Victoria, the Emperor of the French, or the Autocrat of Russia, than of the beastly and brutal despotism of a mob, represented by its chief blackguard and ruffian, Abraham Lincoln. All hail, brave Tennessee! All hail, great Commonwealth of Andrew Jackson! Let every Southern State imitate this noble example. Let us s

y Northern troops, on the contrary, would be terrible and destructive beyond conception.--Their regiments are composed of the dregs of their cities, of all the reckless, brutal and licentious material that threatened the social structure at home. New York is organizing whole regiments of burglars, bruisers and assassins, to turn loose upon the South--New York, whose greatness is in great part due to her Southern customers. The civilized world was horrified at the brutal policy to which Great Britain descended during the Revolution, in turning loose the remorseless savage upon our old men, women and children in the interior, while our soldiers were fighting near the seaboard. But what savage in the wilderness is half so fiendish and brutal as the outcast of society, the professional bruiser and assassin of the modern Sodom? Who would not rather trust the honor of his wife and daughters to an Indian from the forest than to a bruiser from the purlieus of the Five Points? What a mons

th can take care of all its other enemies. Let no man believe or aid in spreading exaggerated reports of the strength of the enemy. We were much amused with a conversation reported to us between a gentleman of a desponding and one of a sanguine temperament.--Said the former, "The North has more men, money and arms than the South, and therefore has every advantage over us." "It isn't so," replied his hopeful companion; "the South is far stronger than the colonies were when they resisted Great Britain; it is full of fighting men, every man of whom is more than a match for three invaders; and even if it were not so, you oughtn't to be dimming with your desponding breath the bright mirror in which hopeful men see only the lineaments of success and glory. Such kind of talk does more harm than ten Yankees, and as I may not be able to kill ten Yankees at present, I'll kill you if you don't stop it." This pleasant badinage must have convinced his equally brave, but more melancholy companio
