For rcasoos which we deem unneces

the Southesncr has been suspended
for several weeks past Suffice at for
us, at this time to ask the iuel-algeocc of
with Unod and treasure coupled with
the two, great virtues of patience and
endurance under trying circumstances
Let our people be not deceived with the
idea, that our foe is not strong and
brave, for they arc strong and some of
them are brave and fight well, but
brave men -will always yield to braver
men. The Southern people have all
the inducements to make them brave
on the other hand the North have all
to make thcin cowards, for tho South
is fighting for the uiaintainance of
liberty, and the North for its destruc
tion. The cruel and savage deeds
which, they have done and which they
still threaten to do, is enough to make
cowards of thcui all. Theo we say
again let us fight on, struggle and cn-1
dure, and all will be well with us, for
j ust so sure, as . there is a sun in tLe
Heavens, and that there is a just God
who overrules the universe, just sostfre
is the day of retribution near at hand.
IJcfore the 25th day af December, 1SG4,
our independence will have been ac
knowledged, and the Confederate States
of America will have taken her posi
tion among the nations of the Earth as
a power proud, glomus and free.

FOR THE SOUTIIEkNEH, .
Mueh has been said"by certain news
paper Editors in North Carolina, in re
lation to peace. Who but madmen or
barbarians are opn'ascd to peaoe hon-
forably obtained? Rut why should we
of the South talk of peace when we are
unable to obtain it honorably except by
and through the operation of our gal
lant armies i War is terrible and should
be deprecated by all goad thinking p.'o
pie. Rut it has been waged against
us by an unscrupulous foe. without anyi
justification whatever, but simply to
gratlly their hellish purposes in trying)
to reduce the bouthcru people . to the
lowest depths of degredation and ruin.
Is it necessary to advert the nude
of warfare the enemy has adopted, to
gratify his fiendish wrath? It is sufficient
to sicken the hearts of all person-,, who
have any respect for hutnauity to sec
the devastation of private property,
the outrages committal nn
hence it is that our enemies are inca
pable of offering ' any'' terms short of
unconditional submission. Working
as they do by the rule which declares
that might makes right.
" The ouiy wholesome plan by whicl
Confederacy can bo sustained and our
enemies made willing to settle upon
terms which are at all honorable, is to
check all treasonnble editors and hush
-all croaking, increase our gallant ar
mies and support the same with one
united action, relying upon the God
of Heaven to direct our leaders and
bless cur efforts-
