Even then it was thought doubtful whether the. masses could be kept up to the work, and it is, there fore, a recorded fact that at a meeting of these leaders at Montgomery, at an early period of secession, it was deemed necessary',for the pros ecution of their plans that ‘blood should" be sprinkled in the faces of the peopled In a very able article on this subject, attrib- THE MEETING LAST NIGHT. The meeting of citizens at the Theatre last ' night was unexpectedly large and enthusiastic. It was aAgrand meeting. The report we spread before our readers this morning will be sufficient evidence of this. We have merely time now to direct particular attention to the resolutions that were adopted. They are of the right stamp. Nobody at all familiar with the people of Wilmington expected they would be other than of the right stamp. They are bold and outspoken, and declare unre servedly for the uniou. Henceforth Wilmington can justly claim to be a loyal town. Her record is made. She casts off the dust of secession and •I uted at the time of its publication (July 31, i 1863,) to Mr. Donnell, speaker of the North Ca rolina House of Commons, is stated that sever- al distinct promises were made by the rebel chiefs to their deluded followers. The first was that secession would be peaceably effected ; the next, that if a war took place, itshould be a short one—not of more than six months du ration at the farthest ; the next that all the slave States except Deleware would join the Confederacy. Again, that the new government should be only a confederacy of sovereign and equal States, entirely free from all central des potism, and that it should become the best, freest and wealthiest government on the earth. These glittering generalities were accompanied by various promises in detail, and arguments in small, to give them consistency and finish.'— Thus it was declared thatthe Yankees would not fight, and that one' Southerner could whip five Yankees ; that France and England would certainly intervene in their behalf, would raise any blockade that might be attempted of the Southern ports, and that cotton was king, and would bring the world on its knees before it. Such were the inducements by which the Southern people were led to make war upon the West, from the Charlestons harbor,' yesterday morning, was the opening «of .the ball of the evolution. We are proud that pur harbor has been so honpred. We are more proud that the State of South Carolina, so long, so bitterly, so contemptuously reviled and scoffed at, above all others, should thus proudly have thrown back the scoff of her enemies. Entrenched up on her soil, she has. spoken from the mouth of her eannon, and not from the mouths of scur-, rilous demagogues, fanatics, and scribblers. Contemned, the sanc-lffy of her waters viola ted with the hostile* purpose of reinforcing ene mies in cur harbor, she has not hesitated to strike the first blow,full in the face, of her in- sulter. Loi. the United States bear or return at their good will the blow still tingling about her cars, the fruit of her own bandit temerity. We would not exchange or recall that blow for millions. It has wiped out a half century of scorn and outrage. Again South Carolina may be proud of her historic fame and ancestry, without a blush upon her cheek farther present honor. ■ The haughty echo of her cannon has ere this reverberated from Maine to Texas, through ev ery hamlet of the North, and down along the great waters of the Southwest. The decree has gone forth. Upon every acre of the peaceful soil of the South armed men will spr.ng up as the sound breaks upon Their ears, anq it will be found that every word of our insolent foes has indeed been dragon's teeth sowS for their destruction. And though greasy and treacherous ruffians may cry on the dogs of war, and traitorous pol iticians may lend their aid in deceptions, South Carolina will stand under..her own palmetto saults of the one, undeceived or deferred by the wily machinations of the other. And if that red sea of blood be still lacking to the parch ment of our liberties, and blood they want, blood they shall have, - and blood enough to stamp itall in red.

But, instead of obeying these instructions, Maximilian, it appears, has declared in favor of freedom of religion in Mexico, and has confirmed the. sequestration to the State of the Church property, commenced by Juarez. He has, in short, followed the instructions.of Na poleon and disregarded • those of the Pope: This means, we suspect, that there is something more •to come. The Pope will probably manifest his displeasure touching this disobedience of both Napoleon . and Maximilian, and then we may look for that long threatened political reconstruction of ’ he Papal States in which the Holy Father will be entirely relieved of the cares of his temporal sover- eiguty. . The Rebels Preparing to Surrender.—A . very significant article appeared in the Richmond Enquirer of last Tuesday, in reply to a correspon dent who- asks, “ what mean (hose rumors of Sena torial committees approaching the President to submit terms of submission?” The Enquirer re sponds: “That there is a party of whipped seceders in and about Richmond cannot be denied,” . and says that a plan for surrender.to the national authorities at Washington' has been arranged; ' b^t it “hopes and believes”—(only “hopes and , believes”)—'that this has failed. It warns the concoctors of the scheme, a part of whose arrange ments- is to induce Jeff Davis and Alexander Ste phens to resign, that in case of their success thus far General Lee would succeed to supreme control of rebel affairs. It says that the rebel Congress . has utterly failed to sustain the cause, and advises ■ its members to go home and leave the direction of matters exclusively to Davis and Lee. .resisted by their unhappy victims ; that the ‘people, so down-trodden and betrayed by Jef ferson Davis and his followers, have been stu- pified by their dangers and their sufferings in to silence ; but.no pei-sons know Better than they, that they were grossly wronged and inju red by their rulers. The North is full of un- happy refugees, too happy to escape even with life, from their former homes ; and the army of Gen. Lee itself is Idling regiments by the week, of men who will fight like fools never again. Beyond all question the South would have abandoned the contest at the time the article alluded to appeared in the North Carolina pa pers, but for the aid and,comfort received from treason in the North, sympathy in Canada and open advocacy in England. The bloodshed of the last two years is to-be laid at the door of these three interests. Bat, nevertheless, the promises originally made by the Southern rebel leaders to their ignorant followers were not founded on fact, notjustified by experience, and nobwithin the possibilities of performance.— This, from the first, has been the. opinion of he most profound thinkers in Europe and Amer ica.
