nt. The promised vengeance against Charleston languishes and evaporates in empty threats. Savannah, taken with so much ease by the British in the War of Independence resists firmly and effectually. Port Hudson has repulsed an attack, and the Mississippi itself has turned traitor, and, by way of set-off for the inundation of Southern territory, has filled up and rendered useless the canal which was to carry the Federal gunboats to the other side of Vicksburg.

It is calculated that, by the action of the Federals in cutting the levees, or dams, which keep the Mississippi in the course as it runs through the level lands towards the sea, a district as large as Scotland has been drowned in the state of Mississippi and five thousand square miles in the State of Louisiana. Had some enormous strategical advantage been obtainable by this proceeding, mankind must have deplored the harsh and dreadful necessity which, in a continent so small a portion of which has yet been reclaimed for the use of civilized man, drove the Federal's to lay waste and devastate so considerable a portion of its surface.

At the beginning of the war North want forth to battle in all the presumption of overweening strength and numbers. Their notions of success were thoroughly Oriental. They had the largest number of men under arms, and doubted not of the victory, especially as they had the largest resources to ford, arm, and recruit them. Received in the field by troops far less numerous than their own, they found to their astonishment how little the leaders of the South had to dread from them in the open field. From that time the whole aspect of the war has entirely changed. In proportion as success has become more difficult, the means employed for its attainment ha
