armed intervention are phantoms which the good sense of the Southern people will no longer see by night and by day. The British government is determined to take no part in the contest. Now that there is no chance of English interference, another illusion should be dispelled. We republish the speech of Dr. Olds of Ohio, as a part of the history of these remarkable times. Our people are disposed to rely too much on the prospect of a grand smash of the Union of Yankeeland. Such men as Vallandigham and Dr. Olds are, perhaps, like Burns, dropped in the wrong country, but they are not exponents of Yankee sentiment. There is no safety in any thing short of the bayonet. Hope of something turning up, of the gradual omnipotence of a peace party, of the West separating from the East, of a resistance to the onerous taxation of the Lincoln Government, have too long deluded the public mind of the South. All such hopes are fallacious. The sober mind at last turns back to the bayonet as t

The General was here interrupted, and as he turned to leave, he asked if any of us had any green-backs we would like to exchange for confederate paper! We remained there two days, with the Jackson foot cavalry, a brigade of Irish soldiers. Those with whom I conversed, said they would give almost any thing to be back at the North, but as they were in Virginia when the war broke out, there was nothing else to do but join the army.

est, and day by day the peace element in party politics grows stronger and more distinct. The utterances which reach us show that there has been no lack of venal presses and unscrupulous politicians, shaping their course so as to share the rising fortunes of the anti-war movement. Everywhere throughout the North we find supple demagogues echoing the popular sentiment with a vigor and boldness which, a year ago, would have consigned them to a dungeon; and even the fearless and consistent Vallandigham takes a step farther than he ever dared before, and unfurls the white flag in the very halls of the Yankee Congress. To give to the new party such an overwhelming and decisive preponderance of strength as will at on<*>er-minate the effort to subjugate the South, we believe that it is only necessary that, in the next great shock of arms, which must now be close at hand, our troops shall once more vindicate their superiority over the ruffianly invaders whom they must encounter. That our
