A. Glance At Uie Confederate States.

lieve that the Confederacy it indeed tick

All hitter; provet that a brave and aa
corrupted people, united in their.determi-

cattea which tha Confederacy had previous
I? enjoyed Has everywhere tha aubjett af
pepalar comment. A speedy triumph J
the Confederate caatc and a termination ol
tha war were confidently expected. The
Confederate loan waf eagerly taken at a
premium abroad. IV. question of reeog
nitiaa waa earnestly pretted in .tbe conn
tit of England and France. Tha world
waa elated aver tha prospect of a speedy
taatatnmation af the vexed problem. But
immediately apoa tha anfortuaate reveraea
ia tbe Seutnwest pretto! everything went
ay the nar, wiaeacrea iaagnee at the
acts ef the cotton loan, my lord conrrata-
lted my lord at their sagacity in having
"vunem rccoDiuoo. tier anmj acta

the eheat : " The war it o?er ! now we cat

backbone of the rebellion wai broken, and
aaother "thirty daya" would reetara the

There it still an effectual embargo upon
the navigation of the great river, and if any
ntllitarv or cammerrial ailvinitan-A that waa
not before' enjoyed, hat molted from the
Federal succoss, it is not palpably appa
rent. That victory cast the Yankees more
in men and money than the whole Mexican
war.
The craven quaila before the dark fore-
ahadowing ef disaster ,the brave man girds
up hi loins to meet and avert it. None
can hope to etcape occasional revertea
amid the inexorable vicissitudes of war;
bat these ahoald only stimulate to increas
ed vigilance and exertion Lukewarm spe
culators, who have grown rich apen the
blood of the country, fearful of pecuniary
loss, may hint at reconstruction at an e
cape from the present ills, aad a safe re
treat from the outrageous . flings of for
tune ;" rade meuntaiaeers who are ignorant
of the principle of the struggle, and unable
to comprehend the present unwonted atate
of affairs, may'exhibit aigns of disaffectiec
tioa;desfrtieas from the army may occur
from variout caastt; but the people of the
South were never more unanimous ia their'
great purpose than they are te-day, never
more willing to endure privationt, and
never more eager to welcome the invadere
of their homes to hospitable graves. v
The productive retourcet af the South
have been wonderfully developed. Not
only is it row able to manufacture all mu
nitions and material af wr, but'all branch
es of industry have beea greatly stimulat
ed. Clothing, steam Ere eagiaet, machi
nery fpr the manufacture of paper, carria
ges, dental instruments, teeth and gold
foil,eagice hose, matches, shae blacking,
&c. kc, ot domestic productioa, are now
substituted for articlts formerly imported.
Them ia no lack of the' necessaries at life,
and though the Confederate drinks his wa
ter without ice, and often forgoes the use
of soger, he V.t aa abundance .of graia,
meat and vegetables. There is no danger
of hia being subdued by starvation. A re
doadaat currency hat greatly infated pri
ces, but tbe increased cast af living has
producal no crop of beggars. The people
still have faith ia the currency. Were
the war to end new, the indebtedness of
the Government ceuld all be paid, dollar
far dollar, and that more easily than the
mere interest of the Federal debt, la any
event, the auccest of the South does not de
pend upon the fate of the currency.
The government is providently prepar
ing for the winter campaign. Opon the
adventaf tka aeatea of frosts tha (Treat ma
jority of the troops will be tarplied with
warm and suitable clothing. Already have
the motley hoes of the rank and th Jfivea
place in a great measure to a neat uniform
of grey caps aad jackets and trovters of
light blue. They ara rapidly being per
fected in discipline, and tbe drill m bow
far mare severe than ever before. Acces
sions to the army are being rapidly made.
Lee's army is far stronger than when it en
tered Fenntylvania. The last call af the
President, extending the caescriptien age
t forty five, and the action of individual
Stalet'ia raising large levies for local de
fence and special service, has added vastly
to the numerical strength rl the Confede
rate forces. The energies of the Suuh
are juit beginnin; to be thoroughly caus
ed. Alabama hat recently extended the
limits (of tha military age btlow canteen
years to sixteen, ana abase forty-ie to
sixty, tnd it is believed that at the next
meetinr of t'ae Ceafederatt Con-rest, an
act will U patted tearing all persons af
whatever age, capable of bearing amt, to
enter tha service. Tha phcee persona
isuittd far eit ttl easiness win iv compli
ed, as far ta pcsv.bls, with disable! sal
diera. It it moreover eS:sd that slave
ba required ta fill the pla'.cj rf pvSite
teamsters, and perform whatever wStisa
connected wiA array cpzr&tiona ary b
required. There has beea soma newspaper
discussion ai to tha policy cf minting
slaves as soldiers, but it has not reached
official circles, and the idea ts simply pre
Dosteroas and will not be adopted, all I to
ke itatemeoti ta the contrar aotwitb-
standing; By all possible means the entire
effective force of the South will be placed
in the field, and it is reasonable to pre
sume that under any contingency the army
of the Confederacy will henceforth bs ful
ly equal, if not superior to the enemy's
forces. , ,
Now by this brief review, can aay one
discover any indication of the Confedera
cy being at the point of exhaustion, ar of
speedy collapse Compare, the present'
umbers, discipline and appointments of
the army, with, those of one or two years
ago, tad answer.
As to the geographical aspect of the war,
we find the traas-Mias'ssippi army, al
though severed from tha East, a large and
pawenui maepenaam ioree, amy omcereu
and maneuvered, drawing ample supplies
fram available sources, and already distin
guished by signal successes throughout the
uepaatment. Attention is for the present
diverted from Virginia to Tennessee and
Charleston. The latter, it is eeafidentl
fctt, will not fail; and as to the former, it
is improper to say mare than that impor
tant military movements have been en foot
the past fortnight, which, when accom
plished, will materially change the aspect
ol affairs ia more than one seotioa of (he
Confederacy. Not over-sanguine citizen
look '(or sueh a series of successes from
tlis time beneaforward as will eclipse those
of former' neriods. and finally culminate in
tT f "
omplete triumph aad the glorious reward
which is justly dae those who strive to
break tha yoke of tyraaay and oppression.
Meanwhile wo look for signal advanta
ges bv sea, aad for developments that will
aitonith at much aa they will damage the
eaeniy. Besides the Confederate Navjr
s.'oper, the neucleaa fur a volunteer navy
(provided for by special act of Congress,)
has been formed. - It will join, hands with
the Florida and her cos sorts in raising the
rates of insurance on Yankee vessels.
I have already beCome prolix, and will
ast further occupy your apace. Suffice it
to say, that no true Confederate, or fritnd
eflhe Confederacy, dreams of yielding, or
relaxing one effort, until independence baa
been tecured, and recognition fully earned
and obtained from the powertcf tha world;
and. furthermore, that so far freta v.$
discouraged by the temporary reverses of
July, they are rather nerved to rretter ef
fort; and with new grounds o usaraace,
will go oa to rederaonstrate that revolu
tion never go backwards," and that no oc
casional disaster can check tSeironwtrd
progreat toward that grand cocfumcr.iien
apen which Htavea will ane dat approv

this vast territorry is formed by the Atlanta
tic Ocean, which washes its shores from
the mouth of Delaware Bay to Ihe Cap
of Florida, a distance of 1,500 mileav
Its Southern boundary stretches from' tha'
Cape of Florida, along the shores' of the1
Gulf of Mexico, to the mouth of the Rio
Grande, a distance of 1,300 miles. This'
immense line of sea coast is dotted witk
tonvienient bays and harbors, and is inter
sected at short intervals by large and navU
gable rivers whose branches spread and;
ramify through every part of the interior
Among these maybe mentioned the great
Mississippi, which for the last 1,200 miles!
of its course flows through slave territory
and belongs exclusively to the Confederate
States,. An extensive system of railway
already extends its Briarean arms througb
the land, and the day is hot distant' whea
the whole country will be covered with a
net-work of these artificial channels of
communication, and when the means of
rapid intercourse and exchange will be
established between its remotest extremi
ties. Of the productions of the South, it
is only necessary to say that they conttitav
ted more than three fourths of the exports
f the old Government, and that the whole
civilized . world is dependent upon her
great staple, coltan for the most indis
pensable article af clothing.
auch are seme ot the physical advantage
we possess. Who shall venture to say
that such a country, in the hands of a brave;
intelligent, enterprising liberty-loving race,
may not attain the very acme of national
prosperity and grandeur? And without
arrogance, such a race we may claim to be
in proof of which we cite the fact, not
t ' . I a a
oniy oi me aeveiopment, progress and cul
ture exhibited in the States composing
tha Confederacy, but the indisputable fact
that the wealth of the old Government
the wisdom of its laws, the glory of U
arms, its prestige and power were nytinlv
due te Southern intellect and valor, an'd
ths productions of Southern labor and soil.
Every page of the now closed history of
wn&i waa me unueu ctates ts lUstrotlfl
with the genius of Southern minds and
the achievements of Southern courage.
,Vs the olu union drew near the hour nf
its devolution, a Southern Senator put oa
record a claim, which impartial history will
a!bw to be just, in behalf of the genius
and patriotism which had made that Union
" t.ic aa miration ot tne world," before the
