But eutirrji aioti to the authority of the Union, and the per misiot of the UuioD fur their scpiratiou, we made iudiapenaable.

Tbe fact is the Journal did use the language atd sentiment quote! by Mr. Tcxiitüc aud without the qualification that it now täte it made whtn advocating the riht of ecein In lbM. In in issue of Xov. 13ih, lGO the Jour Dai Siid : The? referring to the f.eceioniats) know . ery well that if ther are determined to Icnve the Union, no Uepubi.can win care 10 nive tiicm tta?. A Un'on preferred only by intimidation and force i a inotkery, and it is teer broken thin whole. If South Cirolinn and her a?.-oci-ate in folly really tant to loate the Union, they "can go without a word of ohjeeticm from any niaii north of Maoi, und Dixon'fe line. Let all go who want to, we fy,an l let them go quietly, build up new Government il they cm, ai d hin they find that it wont r let them come back on the old term. &c" On the lStb of November following, reterring to the ecc-Moii of South Carolina: , "There will be no collision of hostile forces unle eh, mike- it, f(r the people of the North will never rai.e or use an army to force nny Sure to tay In the Union. "Coercion, we regard out of thequetion in any case." Oxi the lDlh of November, the same paper ai J: "We can imagine no evil eUl to an Ameri can civil wtr. The nepuation of the whole Confederacy Into independent nation would be harm'-1 beside it. On the 2Sth of November, in discussing "r cesin ane coercion," it remarked: ! We deem it superfluous to argue tint a popu lue iro eminent can never be preserved by force The act of compulsion chance it to a depotis-m. o fir a the parties affected hv it are concerned It then pioceed tin follows: "Iapuchan Union worth prcserviii? We nay no. Practically, tlien, coercion co-ts us a greit deal and give in nothing. Theoretically it costs x tili more, for it co.-da uh our con.Miteucy. ÄV etMtinn is rttolulion." And now comes its justification of pecrsroon, or revolution, for it regard both thette term as expressing the same idea. Sjvs the Journal: Wc having established our government by revolutuMi, or the right of a people at any time to thaiijie a government which is oppressive to theui. cannot den that riisht to thoe who de liberately declare our government oppressive. What we claimed as our riht we cannot deny to thoe who claim it ol us, and helped u a-ert our claim at the outet. They tnav he tniftwkcn. In our judgment they are "fatally iniViken, but we cannot judge for them whether the Federal Government i too op pressive for endurance any more than England could jut!g f.T us. We know how eliniuenily mty be urired the 'glory ol this great country' and 'the Union cemented by the blood of our fathers.' but It is all wted beside the one plain impte act that if any ötatc in this Union leels tlie Union to be injurious and oppressive, a civil war ran not chance her opinion, in f act it is not calculated to change it, and if he teilt not stnv In the Union, it will be cheaper and better to let her go." We could quote much more of the same sort, but the extracts we h ve copied are sufficient "to how that the South was in ide to believe that the North were equally anxious lor a dissolution Of the Union, (at leat far a the Republican patty was concerned) and the Southern States adopted tho ordiniuce of secession under the im- presiou that they would be allowed to go "in peace," uain the latigu ige of Mr. TkUL.

Moral and material retrogression has marked and will mark all communities composed of emancipated slave. There are lour millions of slates iu our Southern States. Let the North be assured that Iheir em tncipation will annihi late the production ol Southern agriculture. Not under the hands of their old masters, still less under the hsnd of Northern intruder, inexpe rienced in the culture peculiar to the South and in the management of the negro, could Southern production be successfully ptoecuted? The North is insanely striking to utterly destroy tbe sources of its own prosperity. Never before ha such fatuity been witne.v-ed. The many millions that tlowel annually into Northern pockets di rectly und indirectly from Southern tources will be utterly Io-t by the triumph of the Administra tion policy in the emancipation of the slaves. There were some reason but very little right, some threwdness but very little conscience, some policy bui very little honesty, in war upon the South to restore "the Union as it was. and the Constitution a it is;" but a war of the North upon the South lor the alndiuon of slavery, i the veriest extravagance of suicidal absurdity and wickedness. Such a war can only be con ceived and prosecuted by Ood abandoned fools and madmeo. Lute Southern neu. HL'XTia's KARKtVEf L AODRKM TO TUC SCMATC. The following is a report of the remarks of Hon.

A correspondent of the Dri.-tol Gazette gives an account of the burning of a negro miu in an out house, by the Yankees, becau-e he bad the small pox. The liorrible affair occurred near Washington, Rhea county, about the I5h of No vember, and was perpetrated by some ol Cdonel Lyon's Illinois regiment. The ne:ro h id been stolen by the Yankees from his master, and con tracted the disease in their company, and this is the tender care he got at their hands. NOBLE LI TT II OIRL.

Mis., a little girl about thirteen years of age, has sent to our soldiers wiihin the past two years, over two huudred yards of jeans, several home made blan kets and m any pairs of socks, mostly the work of her own fair hands. A WORTUT EXAMPLE. The Sanderville Georpim publishes a list of fifty six planters of Washington county who have pledged themselves to sell corn at two dol lars per bushel to the wive and children of in digent soldiers in ihe service, and ihe w i lows and children of indigent soldiers who hive died or been killed in the service, or any disabled sol dier.

There is no possible chance for the Yankees to subjugate us, if each man but docs Iiis duty in whatever sphere he raav be. pautils. One of the last hopelul "signs of the time" i the prevailing mania for parties and fiivolty in this city. There has never been a ga)cr winter in Richmond. Ralls and paities every night!
