The devoted patrio tism of the people has filled np the army, and their patient endurance and unflinching courage have triumphed on the battle-field and conquered the adverse circumstances, interposed by scrambling peliticinns and gTeedr mono.vehaniers. To tld- patriotism the country must look for the siiccessfu' ivue of this revolution) aid not to the smbitiou? aud favored few w ho sport gnudy plumage, abuse their brief authority and couut the gains wrun( from the ncccssitsc of the mosses.

Its long di-pcn lenoe upon thfi North Mr goods, ma- binery, agricultural implements, arms and muni tions of war in short, for almost everything, is, at this moment, telling with disastrous effect upon its most vital interests, This dependence must be duiken off before the South can claim to be inde pendent ; and now is the time to begin the work, and there is no better place than this. Clarksville is in the midst of au agricultural district of unsur passed fertility, and the iron ore, in its vicinity, is 0f superior quality and exhauetlesS quantity.

The wooti Is sow commanded by Lt lof Gen. Phelpi, the Yankee eowmaa- der oo Ship Islid, more honeit nod bold than his master at Washington, ha Ussei prvr!oiation, openly declaring the abolition of slavery to be tle object of this war. Though a ilare himself to as base a despot ai erar trampled upon the right! of a people, Phelps boldly proclaim! free labor as the only solid basil of free government, and this in the face of the fart that millions as white ai he are en- ilarsd, la the North, by laoee trrepealabie lawi of capital and labor waka erer hat and ever will decree the etavery of portion of the eitiaens of ertrj Sun. Free labor in its broaden sense is contradiction of terms j labor is an enforced condi tion, and the sIt oi necewity, though he be white, no less a ttara than the blackest African tn the South. The poor most labor, or beg, or steal, or starve, and before the eelf-HffHteous (boll and knavea of the feorth undertake to liberate the slave of the I South, let them emancipate thair own white slaves 1 home; The new jear has commenced, as tbs old one ended, la tbt midst of a wicked snd unnatsral war. Ws trust that it will be distin guished by a succession of brilliant victories for the South, to be followed by (.dependence and a perm anent and prosperous peace. To bring about this desirable result, within ths rear "ej." th neorde should put forth all their energies, snd the Gov. erument should display . degree of wisdom which not apparent in all it has heretofore done. We look not for perfection In those who are entrusted itb. the administration of public affairs, hot bfive right to eiict that no unworthy motives shsll dicta I their choice of men and measures, and that all selfish consideration shall be merged in the great question of nation.! independence and bosr, the perpetuity of rational liberty and the advanse- nient of popnlar intelligence and integrity. f31 The rumor that tho Ileseiaon hare surrendered Msson and Slidell, in obedience to or- deg from England, if true, will sink the lawless government, at Washington, deeper than ever into, the mire of disgrace. There can Be no excuse for t, except cowardice, and, unfortunately for the poor demented wretches, even this act of humilia tion is not likely to save them from ths consequen ces of their insult to the British flag. England has been aronsed, and it is not likely that she will now atop ihort of the-recognition of the Confederate States snd the raising of the blockade. British abolitionists may bluster ss much as they please about India cotton, nnd the sin of encouraging slave labor, but the British Government, ever true to the interests of the people, will permit no'nb stract seutiment to sway its'coansels. '. Cotton, with ngland, is next to meat and bread In tho list of necessaries, and sclf-jntercst no less than humanity to tbe laboring classes, demands Ihe disregard ol a notoriously ineflicient blockade. The surrender of itson and Slidell is ad acknowledgement of North ern weakness and Southern strength which witl ully suthorixe the recognition of the independence f the Confederate States by Eneland and France, and tr is done, and the blockade raised, the Tankees are whipped; whether those powers interfere further or not. Indeed, th conquest bf the South. y circumstances, is an imnossibilitv (he Yan- ees kiiow it, snd tiie only question is how much sooner will the South triumph if the blockade be raised f -sju Tho sudden return of Gen. Scott to. he United States lias given rise to a variety of onjectures as to the cause, all of which await so- ution. It was known when he left for Europe, that his intention was to make a long stay, and it s fair to presume that some matter of vital impor tance, in connection with recent misunderstnndings Hetwi s i his government and that of England, isnt hi bottom of his "hasty plats of soup." W Farson Brownlow, who was arrest- d some time ago. wss released in consequence of a pledge, on th part of the War Department, that he hould be escorted across the line and permitted to join his congenial fnends in Lincolndom. But after his release, which created miich excitement amongst the military, be wss re-arrested by the Commandant of the post; and what will be his fate time only can disclose. N We see, from Northern papers, that ths movement of the Yankee fleet upon the Gulf oast, las greatly disappointed Yankee exuda tions inasmuch as it has signally failed to weaken our army before Washington. So far, indeed, fioui U having effected that purpose, the Northern press represent our Potomae army as stronger than ever jefore. The Yankee troops on the Southern sea board .re hemmed in on isolated points, and th ittle mischief they have done will not compensate the trouble of supplying them with fresh water from the city of tie York. )& Tho London Post expresses tho be lief that the difficulty between Mexico snd Eng land will be speedily snd satisfactorily adjusted, and ths British fleet, i. the Gulf, will be left free to meet any demands that may be made upou its ser vices tn th event of trouble with th United States. - t&- Some of the Yankee paper are down ou the bogus government, lu Northwesters Virginia, because it hesitates to abolish slavery, am) wsrn tils suthorities that tb new Stt.tes will not b admitted into th Northern desutisui until that thing is don. Tb mid government is prohti. bly coming to its senses and beglnniug to see 'lint the territory they pollute must belong lo the South ern .Confederacy, aud that they must preserve the ustitutio. or change their reaideucs, . , The Chicago Tribune bus discover- I, at last, that th South can neither be scared nor starved, and falls "back upon the bayonet and iirmad negroes ss the last hope for subjugation.

And my blockade has bad ths sal utary effert of reducing the prie of tbs necessaries of life ia the North-west, far below the minimum price of former years, to all those who have the money to boy. The rebellion which tbroke out In the. South at the time of my election to office, which at first was no bigger than . roan's hand, has assumed immense proportions, and somewhat jostled the wheels of my Government, yet I have thus far been enabled to hold on to ths Chair of State, and congratulate you that "Washington la safe." It is tine that, to do this, I dives'.ed myself of the clogs and restrictions which surrounded me, and were bequeathed to us by our grandfathers, called constitutional law, and having exploded the bid maxim that, "In a multitude of councilors there is safety,'1 Lbnve grasped the sceptre, nnd wielded tho sword with my own right arm, believing that one sagacious mind w ith all Its mighty energies con centrated to a particulai' object, is more potent for success than the clashing of many thereby show ing that "necessity has co law'' to control it, for it s of vital importance that my Government should be sustained, nnd the Union preserved at all haz ards.
