!H«d our people been Infidels, and relied
npon the strength of armies alone to win
victories, and obtain freedom, or had thej
indulged the idea that "Providence was
always npon the side o{ the heaviest battal-
ions," these Confederate States would to-
day have had no existence an a Govern-
ment The contemplation of the difficul-
ties under which the Southern people would
have to straggle in the event of a war with
the tJijUed States, was appaling to every
wfiocting statesman. &od to "every thought-
ful eitisen. To prevent the inevitable con-
flict between the North and South, in case
of Lincoln's election, such men as Hon-
William L. Yancey, the very head and front
of tbo secesBion offending,.'traveled over
the F*ee States previous to the Presidential
election, in 1B60, and begged that the Un-
ion might be preserved by placing in the
Executive chair, some man who stood upon
a national, and not a sectional platform.
Nothing availed, and civil war was inaugu-
rated. Mr. Seward it was thought would be
thq nominee of the convention that nom-
inated Mr. Lincoln, and Mr. Seward stood
upon the.platform npon which the Boya
Ape was placid, when the Republicans
made him their Candidate.
The South went Into this war Bolely to
preserve her constitutional rights, which
were ignored by the citizens of the United
Stat?*, who supported Mr. Lincoln; and
nlying on the justice of her ianse, the sa-
credness of the principles contended for,
and with aft eye lo/ faith looking to the s«p-
port of the God of battles in fke desperate
encounter In which she waa a^out to be en-
gaged, her soldiers were marshaled upon
fte battle fledd, and her flag given to the
winds of Heaven. t . > j
We had something to say a /day or two
Sinee about submission to the Northern
people and its consequences, and we desire
today to make a few remarks npon the
subject of a convent ion of "all the States"
to settle onr difficulties In esse an armistice
is evej, proposed for that purpose. We
published some time since an article upon
this suqjeot written by a gifted citizen of
this State, and took occasion then to ex-
press ourselves emphatically opposed to
any such proposition. We have seen the
sulject discussed in other papers east of the
Mississippi and recently observed an al-
lusion ty it in a letter from Alexander Ste-
phens and one from W. W. Boyce, of South
Carolina, which we publish to-day.
The discussion of this question can be of
no profit to our people, because it is not
likely the people of the North will offer any
such terms while they have a h6pe of sub-
jugation, and when tliey pet ready to go
into council with "rebels and traitor*,'' as
to the best method of adjusting differences
we shall have it in our power to dictate the
terms of settlement upon the battle field.
The safest course to be pursed by our citi-
zens and soldiers, is to expect no adjust-
ment of oar difficulties until the North is*
whipped, which event will happen just as
sure as the war is continued, and facts and
figures will not lie.
it it aetonlshiug how the Yankee people
have permitted themselves to be gulled,
misle<., chewed, an.I imposed u'jfon ewr
sinee this war began. ••Sixty" and
"ninety days" in wbioh lo cru«h us be-
oarue anoh oommon expressions, that otber
language had to b* employed by those
whose business it has been to manufacture
faots tor the maeee^, and, "last legs''
♦•back bone broken" and ♦'nearly crush-
ed at " were the expressions adopted to
keep the people of the Nurih quiet, and
prevent the copperheads and peace men
from making proselytes. Grant recently
assisted by his pen,—oertaialy not with
hi sword, to oheer up the drooping spir-
its of bis fellow citizens by declaring ra-
ther poetioslly that the oradle and the
grave had been robbed to fill up the deci-
mated ranks of the Confederate army, and
all that waa necessary now to secure ttae
triumph of the Federal cause, was a few
'more thousand men to fill up the vacant
places in his 6W| army. We think that
no man who will reflect for a moment oan
come to any other conclusion than the one
we have already expressed in a previous
issue of oar paper, that the North will be-
come exhausted while the Confederacy
will continue to a very considerable de-
gree to maintaia her strength in the field.
How .can the United States Government
with.all its factions, divisions, parties, dis-
contents, internal difficulties, supply men
efbttgh H keep up her armies, when they
are swept away like autumn leaves before
the breath of winter? Thoy publish the

mission, though couched in lauguago which
hat been employed to cover up tbc hideous
idea which is at the bottom of the argu-
ment which he makes. Our space will not
admit of a full review of this precious doc-
ument in the columns of to-day's paper,
but we cannot belp alfeiding particularly
to the ' imposing assemblage'' and "august
tribunal" which Mr. Boyce has coloured up
to sit in judgment upon the differences
between the North and South; and while
he speaks of it as a "sublime spectacle/'
the "moral grandeur" of which aucient or
modern times afford no parallel, we think
its moral deformity and unsightly propor
tions could only be equalled b^ some eon-
vocation of the lower regions, where the
interests of mankind were to be taken care
of, and the salvation of mortals secured.
What a spectacle such a convention
would be to the world. To say 'nothing of
the advantages the North would gain by a
cessation, of hostilities, in ,drilling and
making soldiers of the immense numuer of
raw recruit-, if ihey could be obtained,
by which a formidable army might be
hnrled against th«"Kouth when the con-
vention had failed «f its purpose, what a
fatoe would we bo assisting to enact?
There would be Mr. Seward perhaps no
longer Premier but a member of the con-
vention. What wouldbe expected of him?
A few years ago he said ia the Senate,
•• but there is a higher law than the con-
stitution which regulates our authority
over the public domain," In 1848 the
same demon of Abolitionism remarked,
"correct your.own eiror that slavery has
any constitutional guarantee which may
not be released and ought not to be relin-
quished;" (tnd in the saitle speech he tells
the people " whenever the public mind
shall will the abolition of slavery, the
way will open foi; it.®1 Lately in his speech
at Auburn,this arch-hypocrite said, "when
the insurgents shall have disbanded their
armies the War will instantly cease and all
the war measures then existing, including
those wbiob affect slavery will cease also;
and all moral, and political questions, as
well questions affecting slavery as others
will pass over to the arbitrament of courts
of law, and to the councils of legislation."
Well with all his damnable cant and hy-
pocrisy there sits Mr. Seward osie of the
•delegates.
There, close to Mr. Seward, sits Senator
Wilson of Massachusetts, who, to secure
justice to all parties, proposed, in 1855, to
"change the Supreme Court" so that il
might be composed of men who would de-
cide slavery questions ,to suit abolitionists.
There is Mr. Wade of Ohio, who. in 1855,
said, "tlibre was no union between the
North and South, and no two nations upon
the earth entertained more rancorous feel-
ings towards each other than these two sec-
tions of the Eepublic." There is the "great
chastised ' Mr. Sumner of Massachusetts,
who, in reply to Mr. Butler of South Caro-
lina, said he " recognized no obligation,"
though contained in the Constitution, to
carry out the fugitive slave law. There
stands Wendell Phillips who wanted "Mas-
sachusetts free of the Union that she might
lay Charleston in ashes." And there is
John P. Hale, and Mr. Greeley of the Tri-
bune, and his cotemporary, Mr. Raymond
of the Times. There is that pious brother
Parson Brownlow, the man who stole the
livery of Heaven to serve the devil in. In
fancy just look round upon that convention,
and as you are jostled by Henry Ward
Beecher, and stared at by Beast Butler,
and bowed to by this man and that, who
has assisted in desolating our land and ex-
tinguishing forever the fires upon the
hearth-stones-of your friends and neighbors
ask yourself the question: tcould you sit in
convention with such men ?
Fancy Sherman sauntering in the lobby
and remember he -is the man who wanted
to exterminate the people of the South, and
give the lands to a "nobler race." What
Thank God there is no such spirit In the
army, or among the people generally. We
have no fear of a military despotism, or tbat
our Republican form of Government will
give place to any other, but we are certain
that our Independence and freedom will be
secured, and our Southern Confederacy as-
sume a proud position among the nations
of the earth, no matter what becomes of the
United States, and Mr. Boyce to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
There was a white frost on Saturday
morning. The thermometer in tie atmos-
phere fifteen feet above the surface of the
earth indicated 34 ° Fahr.
Notice is called to the fact that an elec-
tion has been 'ordered in the Reserve corps,
and Brigadier General Barnes, of the Stato
service is a candidate for Lieutenant Colo-
nel. Nothing further need be said. We
presume he will, as usual, be elected with-
out serious opposition.

(J-'0<1 Ordinary
Avstin, Oct. 31, 18G4.
Mr. Hartley introduced in the S<;uate
the following resolution:
• *WjHr,Rk.as, it ip incumbent on the Legis-
lature to provide fur giv;rig aid tu the
dependents of those o' -.lur citizens who
are in the armies, ihut require it; atd
whereas, to this end this Legislature at
a previous sessi >ti provided that impro-
priations for thi- purpose should be dis-
bursed in treasury warrants, under the
Impression that means provided at the
time would sustain said issues at a figure
approaching their face value iu specie ;
and whereas, the mcans.provided have
failed, and the treasury warrants are ot
but little value, and it has become advi-
sable for the Legis.ature either to aban-
don the issuance of treasury warrants
for the purpose indicated, or to continue
their issuance and provide means for
elevating and sustaining their value ;
therefore
"Beit resolved, That it is the opinion of the
Senate that the plan of giving aid to the
dependents oi soldiers requiring aid by the
issuance of Treasury Warrants should not
be abandoned, but that the value of the
same' should be elevated and maintained
by taxation and such other resources as are
at the disposal of the Legislature."
Whether the introduction of this resolu-
tion was intended to call forth an expres-
sion as a forestalls of the action of the
House of Representatives upon their bill
relative to the distribution of the Peniten-
tiary fabrics, there are no legitimate means
of determining, but its consideration elicited
quite an interesting debate,during which an
attentive listener might have concluded that
he had come to some conclution as to the fi-
nancial policy on hand.
For the first time 1 believe, since tlie
treasury warrant policy was inaugurated,
the constitutional question was thus public-
ly raised. Can you tell the difference be-
tween a Treasury warrant, and a warrant
on the Treasury? Ans. A Treasury war-
rant is drawn by the Treasury on Us<lf. A i juliainje
warrant on the Treasury is drawn by tlio
comptroller or somebody else on the. Treas-
ury. Do you know the difference between
paper to circulate as money and paper cir-
culating as money ? Ans. Paper to circu
late as money is paper issued on such a ba-
sis as will command confidence and insure
a valuation equal to the standard (gold or
silver coin i with a provision making it (i
legal tender. Paper circulating as money
may be much below that standard in val-
ue. Other various technicalities were re-
sorted to, to conciliate intentions with the
meaning of words.
Paul and Diogenes both tell us that on a
certain occasion Jeshurun exclaimed,. "The
wish is father to the thought!" And Noah
and Theopbilus when they were in consulta-
tion as to the best means of preventing the
passage of the Israelites across the Red sea,
m their journey to Jerusalem, very gravely
concluded that Solomon was a mere cir-
cumstance.
At this present writing the debate con-
tinues.
The House has been engaged for several
days in discussion upon the Penitentiary
cloth bill. R.
ou any conditions to conloderate with the
United States, or live under a common
government with them. These Resolutions
ave elicited a lengthy, disconcise and
somewhat heated debate, and are still un-
der discussion. SALUS.

should be given, who woul4 expect them to

if any such body was ever to be organ*

that the members from the Confederacy
wonld very toon have to leavt1 their seats
and come home, or the place in which the
Convention was held would ran with blood.

Editor Telegraph:—Both Houses of the
Legislature are moving on slowly. Noth-
ing of importance has, up to this time,
passed into a law. The most important
subject before the House at present, is the
Bill for the support of soldiers' families, &c.,
ottered by Mr. Brady, a copy of which I
enclose. There is considerable diversity
of opinion in both Houses, as to whether
it were the better policy to distribute the
Penitentiary cloth directly to the County
Courts for sale, or to have it sold at the
Penitentiary and the proceeds placed in
the State Treasury, subject to distribution
to the various counties
Tho main argument in opposition to the
mode provided for the bill is that it will
necessarily incur great delay and expense
in the transportation of the cloth to the dif-
ferent Counties. The advocates efthe bill,
on the other hand, urge in support of their
policy the importance of distributing the
cloth generally throughout the State, in or-
der to create competition among purchasers
and prevent monopoly. It is aslo urged
that the distribution of the cloth as prepared
Will give the beneficiaries of the bill an op-
portunity to purchase to the extent of the
quota of the fund te which they may be
entitled. It is impossible as yet to conjec-
ture which policy will prevail. The Senate
has for several days past had under con-
sideration in committee of the whole the re-
solutions offered by Mr. Hord on the subject
of a reconstruction of tho Union.
It may be inferred from the mention
made of these Resolutions by the Gazette iu
its synopsis of the proceedings of the Leg-
islature, that they look to peace, and recon-
struction. They look exactly in the oppo-
site direction. They declare that in no
event will Texas entertain separately a pro*
position front the North to treat for peace
on aojtenks. That such a proposition, if
mada stall, must be made to the Gonfeder*
ate Government, the common agent of all
States. They ft 11 thai declare that the
of Texas will set, under any eir-
or npon any terms, agtee to a
