It will be seen that it is the intention of the Depart ment to raise a Battalion of Mounted Men for special service in North Carolina, and the commandant hopes that all able-bodied men, who may be exempt by rea son of having furnished substitutes or otherwise, will not shrink from this call, but will hasten to enlist in the defence of their homes, their firesides and the State that gave them birth. Parties enlisting in this Battalion will be exempt from duty in the Militia and Home Guard, and will re ceive the pay and allowance of cavalrymen.

Russia on the othef hand, boasts of an area, exc asive ot Poland of over two nnlhon sijuiiie .uiies a popuianuu ui over sixiy minions, i a regular army oi seven hundred thousand men, with military appointments equal to those of any uatiot on the lace or the earth. We, in the South, groan over the disparity in material strength between ourselves and the Lin coln despotism; but what is that disparity compar ed vith that hetween Poland and Russia? The Noith, we say, outnumbers, us three to one. Rus sia Dutnumbers Poland twelve to one! Lincoln, wilt all his absolutism, cannot avail himself of the miliary streogh of the North. The Russian auto crat can put half his millions in. the army. The Nor.h has a regular force of 15,000. Russia has a regular force of 700,000. We have yet a coun try of 000,000 square miles, diffieult of access by the enemy necessitating long and hazardous lines of communication -affording very inadequate means of subsistence t.o the foe more or less un healthy and impassable during a greaterpart of the year abounding in positions of great natural aptitude for defense. Poland1, upon the other hand, is shut up in a territory nearly a fifth small er than Georgia alone, densely populated, and all the elements of supply as accessible to foe as to friend. But perhaps you think. Poland is an inaccessible country surrounded by high mountain ranges, with a few and easily defensible passes. Not so. She has no natural barriers whatever, and may be pronounced a comparatively level country. Fur thermore, a great railway run's from the capital of Russia directly through her territory. 'HW then, has she been able so long to baffle the designs of her gigantic oppressor? In no other way, we be lieve, than by the simple heroism of her people. Years of oppression; under a grinding foreign tyranny, have wrought up her people to the un conquerable determination to die or be free. The iron has entered their souls, and made every man, woman and child a hero. We may take it fQr gran ted "there is ho specula tion no hoarding for higher prjees no skulking or desertion in that country. Every man and wo man is fighting and laboring for liberty as some thing dearer than life itself. The conditions of the dreadful struggle seem to us impossible. Po land must again sink more hopelessly under a for eign yoke. But as desperate as ate the chances, we believe there arc very few croakers and pro phets of evil among the Poles. They have counted the costs and made up their minds to the sacrifice. Iu the face of such a spectacle as this, do not our own conduct and achievements appear most trifling? If the Poles do not despair, should we even doubt? If they have a possibility of success, have we a possibility of failure, outside oP a lack of spirit and energy absolutely disgraceful to us as a people? If we had been ground down by op pression as the Poles have been, and as we shall be, should the North bring us under its yoke, the spirit of the people would laugh to scorn the ,poss-J a . ..a 1 " t .1.1 lbility ot iaiiure- -would snuw in a montn tnat subjugation by the North is a physical impos.4- bility. With the fire and patriotism of tho Poles we should have had peace and independence two years ago. Macon Tdegraph. , VALLANDIGHAM TO HIS 0IO FRIENDS. The following.is Hon. O. L. Vallandigham's ad dress to his friends in Ohio sinco the election : Democrats of Ohio: You have been beaten; by what means it is idle now to inquire. It is enough that while tens of thousands of soldiers were sent or kept within your State, or held io active camp .elsewhere to vote against you, the Confederate enemy were marching upon the capital of your country. Yrou were beaten; but a nobler battle for consti tutional liberty, and free, popular Government, never was fought by any people. And your un conquerable firmness and courage, even in the midst of armed military force, secured you these first freemen's rights frt.e speech and a free bal lot. The conspiracy of the oth of May fell before you. Be irot discouraged; despair nut of the Re public; maintain your rights; stand firm to your position; never yield by your principles or your or ganization; listen not to any one who would have you lower your standard in the hour of defeat. No mellowing of your opinions upon any ques tion, even of puli'cy, will uail anything to concili ate your political focP. Theydeuiaud nothing less than an absolute surrender of your principles and your organization. Moreover, if there be any hope for the Constitution or liberty, ' it is in thc Democratic party alone, and your fellow-citizens in a little while longer will see it. Time and events will force it upon all, except those who pro fit by the calamities of their country. I tbauk you, one and alt, for your sympathies and ypur suffrages. Be assured that though io ex ile for do offence but my political opinions, and the free expression of them to you io peaceable public assembly, you will find me ever steadfast in those opinions, and true to the; Constitution and to the State and country? of my birth.

Soon after this, thc BrMsh government removed its Consul at Mobile for allowing a British !-hip of war to receive and transport !,o-England $155,000 in specie, the interest due by the State of Alah una on its debt in London. Mr. Benjamin remarks at length on the custom of nations to assist iu the maintenance of the public faith of each other; and refutes very effectually the absurd nlca of lvil Russell that thc transmission of thc specie was "aiding one of thc belligerents against the other." Within the last few days the President has learned that two of the 'three British Consuls re maining here had received instructions in regard to British residents which it is impossible to tol erate. The conscription hw embraced. all resi dents capable of bearing arms, .who were required by it to assist in protecting their own homes from invasion, their own property from plunder, their own families from cruel outrage.. This wa not done till a year after thc war had begun, giving full time for all foreigners to depart vho did not choose to perform these Imperative obligations. The foreign Consuls objected to their subjects be ing cjnseribcd, whereupon the President directed that mere sojourners should not be included under the law, but only such as had become citizens dc juxfy or bad rendered themselves liable under the laws ot nations. Jo this liberal interpretation, the British government demurred strongly, ''unless foreigners were allowed a reasonable period to quit ;" and as that was allowed and had never been refused, Mr. Benjamin took no exception to thc demurrer. Since that time the Consuls have made frequent requests to have English subjects relieved, which was always 'done when the faets justified it. But thc .Consuls carried on that busi ness so loosely that they were deceived into claim ing exemption for men who were proven to be citizens ot the Confederacy. Finally the Consuls at Savannah and Charlesn ''assort the existence of instructions from their Government, under which, instead of advising British subjects to re sort to thc courts of justice, always Open fur thc redress of grievances, or to apply to this Govern ment for protection against any-harsh or unjust treatment by its subordinates, they deem it a duty to counsel our enlisted soldiers 'to judge fo them selves of their right to exemption, to refuse obe dience to the Confederate laws and authority, and even exhort them to open mutiny iu face of the enemy." This unwarrantable assumption has caused the dismissal of all the British Consuls Iii closing hid letter Mr. Benjamin sajs : - "I have been induced to place tlie whole subject fully in your possession, by reason of a ttuferueiit made by Consul Fullartori to the Governor of Geor gia, that in the event ot a failure of his n-rnon stranccs to produce the exemption of all British subjects from service, be is instructed to state that 'the Governments in Europe interested in thin question will unite in making such representations as will secure to aliens thi? desired exemption ' The menace here implied would require no an swer if it were not made professedly under instruc tions. It is scarcely necessary to siy to you that th? action of the President in repelling with deci sion any. attempt by foreign officials to arrogate sovereign rights within our limits, or to interfere of thti-r own authority with th execution of our laws, would not be affected in thff slightest degroe by representations; from any source, however ex alted: This is the .m ly point on which the J'reni- . . -. dent lias naa occasion to act, arm on tins point thcro is no room for discussion " Next comes a letter of same date, Oct 8lh, from Mr Benjamin to Mr Fuliarton, British consul at Savannah, reciting this last crowning outrage, and informing him that such' tn assumption of joris diction and encroachment o the- sovereignty of the-Confederacy cannot be tolnatr-d for a tiiouint; that the British consuls can no longer be permit ted to exercise their functions or even ieidc with in the limits of the Confederacy. They mut promptly depart. Then follows a long letter dated 11th Jnne, from Mr Benjamin to Mr Mason, stating that on the 18th May Mr Cridland called upon him and denied the truth of a statement that day made in the Whig, that be, Mr was going to Mobile as British Consul. He said he was going there as a private individual, unofficially. He also had a statement to the same effect published in the Whis the next dav.

A letter from Mr Mason to Earl Russell, in re ply to the above, closes the correspondence. He says the Confederate Government has certainly shown no disinclination to permit British Consuls to rcnide within the Confederacy find lo he io com munication with the government. In regard to the closing suggestion of Earl Russell, be says: 'That if it be your lordship's pleasuro to make this proposition in such form as may be agrccible to Her Mujcsty's Government, and not at variance with tho views expressed in the despatch of Mr Benj miin, I do n6t doubt it would receive tho favorable consideration of tho Government at Richmond; and I should be happy in being the medium to communicate it." We think tho "so-styled Confederate States" would havo consulted its own dignity and self respect by treating Earl Rusoll's suggestion with contempt until submitted in more respectful language.
