ies this still further weakens them, and exposes them to decimation in detail. Bonaparte set out for Moscow with half a million of men, and if we mistake not, had little over a hundred and fifty thousand when he arrived there. Russia, and the whole of Northern Europe except Sweden, Norway, and Lapland, is a dead level, interspersed with towns and villages. It has no natural strength, and hence in past times conquest in Europe, with slight exceptions, has proceeded north was dry. The Confederate States present greater natural obstacles to an invading army than any equal area of country on the globe. Armies cannot march down our Atlantic coast, because of the great number of bays, inlets, creeks, and rivers; nor down the inferior, because of mountain ridges, impassable roads, sparse population, and scarcity of provisions. The Mississippi is narrow, long, tedious, and easily defended, and its valley is subject to overflow. No invading army will attempt a serious invasion in that

the fact than their piratical invasion of our inoffensive country, and the "beauty and booty" banner which was flaunted in the broad light of noon-day in New York! The "militia of the seas" is a thing originated, and a term invented by themselves, to describe privateering, which they begun and vindicated both in practice and argument. And now, whilst the ink is scarcely dry on Maray's elaborate defence of privateering, a defence which was applauded to the echo by every newspaper in the United States, they have the supreme audacity to denounce as pirates, to try for their lives, to condemn to death Southern privateers, and then the hypocrisy and unmanliness to which in the most injured manner because we treat in the same way the piratical invaders who have entered our country to deprive us of all that man holds dear! We advise the Yankees to rest assured that they will be treated as our own militia are treated; better treatment they cannot expect us to think that they deserve.

has been equal to Cardinal Woolsey's. The Baltimore American attests the fact in the following paragraph: Early on Sunday morning, about half a dozen ladies, with a number of children, with passes from General Scott, left Old Point wharf under a flag of truce, granted by Commodore Goldsborough, with the anticipation of proceeding South, but the commanding officer of the Confederate steamer refused to acknowledge the passes. He stated that General Scott was a private citizen of the United States, and, therefore, he could not regard his passed written before he resigned his official position. The parties, therefore, returned to Fortress Monroe. Exit Sherman. The following, from a Washington correspondent, foreshadows Sherman's fate: It cannot be disguised that the Cabinet is very sorely chagrined and disappointed at the inaction of Gen. Sherman. It was expected he would at once push for the interior, occupy Beaufort, seize the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, bur

rise from the town, which we believe to be the dwelling of Ysidore Soles, which was fired by the Rojas for strategic reasons. The consular flags are flying over the city in every direction, and among the number we may notice that of the United States. When our boys saw that, and when it was reported that a party under Caravajal had raised it, we all felt like fighting; but Capt. Donelson rode down to the river bank and demanded an explanation from an officer on the Mexican side, who stated that it was the flag over the United States consular residence, and that it was recognized on the same ground that the Confederate flag was respected. Judge Bigelow, late on the afternoon of yesterday, obtained a passport and visited the camp of Caravajal, where he was well received. The light of the burning houses was visible on our side of the river at a late hour last night. It is stated that considerable carnage has taken place on both sides, and that the Rojas have applie
