IM their sprrulatioii ou the Ute foreign news,arc ot considerable interest. The Ihlta, assum-

ing that the. course ot England is beyond specu-lation, thinks that the Federal government mostsustain it set by war or submit to a climax ofhumiliation before the world such as history liasseldom recorded. It says :

Supposing war to result from the imbroglio ofthe Federal government with England, we canreadily Conceive the measures which will betaken by the latter power. The London Tunes,no doubt correctly enough, sketches the iutroductory pirtions of the war namely : I, raising'.!.. of southern pot ts : . thenorthern ports: It, recognizing the national andindependent status of the southern Contederaoy.Then would come a virtual, if not a formal, war-

like alliance with the Confederacy. The Missis-sippi river would be opened to the English navy,before which, acting in with

land forces, Cairo would fall, St. Louisvouid fall, Cincinnati would tall. From Cincin-nati and Cairo the way would be open to Chicago,and that city, the heart of the western grain in-

terest, would tail. From Chicago, it would beeasy to extend the Hue of successful operationsalong th great lakes to Canada, and from thewestern extremity of Canada, round to the Allantic. Thns the North would be completely (Enci-rcled with a fiery chain of war, and what itsfanatic politicians were fond of predicting as thedoom of the South would be its doom. It wouldhav to swallow all its. w indy vaultings and suetor mercy, or like a scorpion girt with tire, di" ofits evn poison.

It was to be granted that France would secondthe policy of England v. ith respect to the pres-

ent war. The close understanding of thosepowers in other directions did not permit a diiubtthat they would separate reudily ou this quet--IMB- .

Ail along France seems to have desiredthat Eugia: d should take the initiative. Theiiiieii.g-n.- i- from Kurojie goes to ivi.tlrni :hc- -;

iews Whatever to the result of the presentirr.hroglio, it would se-- m beyond question thatboth England and France are ready at once toacknowledge the icdepeudence ol the SouthernConfederacy. Nor ran wc doubt that eventsMM soon shape themselves in that case for thembolition of the blockade. If the North shouldshrink from a contest with England about theTrent affair. England might safely reckon uponsetting aside the blockade as inefficient withimpunity.

The Hulietin thinks that the capture of the.commissioners has been fully indorsed by the"Washington dynasty, and says :

The government can therefore retrace its stepsanil repudiate responsibility in the pruuises onlyby a fiat and direct back-dow- Suppose, now,the usurper should actually rocximmend thiscurse rather than raise an i.sue with GreatBritain and jt would not surprise us if heshould do so would it not prote a perfectbombshell in the camp of his followers? Wouldnot th more fur'ons, reckless and brainless d

juries of the crew fairly gnash their teetlf inrage at the shakii.g knees of the administration !

Such an issne would produce an txjiloeiouandm .: r the train, bauds of the conspirators toatoms. It a tyrant shows the least indication ofweakness, his followers scent danger ahead andforsake him. If the tyrant of the White Houseand his agents waver, they go down, and thosewfco have been chierir instrumental in placingthem in power, will turn against them.

l'lonter. of 111." Confederate .States :

The third annual session of the 'T'lantcisConvention of the South" was to have assentbled in the city of Memphis, Teuu., on the ICth

of December. Circumstances made it advisableo uostnono this meeting until the od Monday in

February, when it is hoped every delegate apnt tinted w ill 1m- in attendance.

The number of able and distinguished gentlemen alreadv aDnointed bv the le gislatures andExecutives ol the several States, justifies thebelief that the approaching session is to be oneot tbe most interesting assemuiages eci ueiu uithe South.

The first Planter's Convention convened atNashville, Teun.. OcL 10th. IsSoil. The secondannual session was. held in Mississippi, Oct.Kith, -'- .! At the last session a plan of perma-nent organization was adopted, its declared 'ob-ject being to secure, by united action of theSouthern people and Slates, the advancement otthe agricultural. manuiUciuring and commercialinterests of the South."

The overthrow of the old, and the establish-ment ot a new government, cornitels the south-ern planter to abandon the suicidal policy of thepast. It will be for this convention, composedof delegates from every congressional district,and representing the great ami leading interestof the Confederate States, after a free and full in-

terchange of views, to inaugurate that system ofpolicy best calculated to promote their own andtheir country's prosperity. Here the tobacco,corn, wheat, rice, sugar and cotton producers willmeet in council. A common country to sustain,common interests to promote, we can. by unitedaction, 3o much to advance the political andcommercial independence of the South.

While agriculture is acknowledged as thegreat basis of our social, and commer-cial power, we must remember that the prosperity ot our manufacturing and commercial interests are essential to our tuture g eatness, anawe should, therefore, secure the cordial

of th so engaged in these pursuits.The war now being waged in defense of the

great principles of must end.sooner or later, in placing the Confederate Statesamoiifi the irreat nations of the world. With aterritory almost boundless, soil rich and fertile,productions the most valuable, a climate adaptedto the growth of almost everything desired byman. a labor system best suited to our climateand productions, and a people united in feelingand interest, we have all the elements that c in-

stitute a great and powerful nation. To secure-po!i;ica- l

independence we confidently rely uponthe brave hea;- - and strong arms of our gallantar i y. But to make the triumph of southernarms more valuable to the present and futuregenerations, it is necessary that all our effortsshouiJ lie directed to the development of ourgn at resources. No moro dependence uponYankee brains or Yankee hands is and must bethe watchword of every true hearted southron.and that statesman who will indicate the bestpolicy to be adopted w ill win laurels as uufaiingas the chieftain who drives the invader from oursoil

It is unnecessary here to allude to the manviiueslions surrgunted for the consideration oli theconvention. The Legislatures of several Stateshave adopted resolutions in reference to Itip'.antirg of another crop of cotton, the crop ottuts vear being sull m the hands ot pitnfcrs.Ii tne ild Monday in February, the planters, inconvention, w ill be better prepared 10 adopt acourse of policy dictated by the circumstancesthat my then surround cs.

No delegate, it is hoped, wid be absent fromthis gre.it council of planters. Every plauti-- r

wli appit ciate.s ids own and the condition othis countiy, should feel it bis duty to have hiscongressional district represented.

To have each istate properly represented inthe standing committees, it is desirable that theundersigned should be furnished with a list otdelegates at the earliest moment.

tnnii the New York Trilmne, uud bytlie northern press generally, gives a feeble ideaof the means used by their leaders to deceive thYankees aud inflame their passions against thSouth.

lMtou Ht-a- l of the N't w TribuuclThepoiicv of Grn. Sherman, or whoever is re

sponsible for his r mat kable proclamation, I cannot pretend to fathom, nor can 1 see why thelabor ot tho blacks should not relieve the overworked soldiers from the heaviest tasks imposedupon them. 1 he coming ot " the l ankeeshas been watched for with anxious solicitude atthis as at all other points, aud the troops arehailed as deliverers wherever they go r--

negroes are so dull as to be imposed upon bv thefictions of their masters that they are to be sel l toCuba, or would be worked day aud niglit harderthan ever, or other such in coitions. I he instances iu winch any attachment to their mastersis shown are extrenely few.

But the slaves come slowly into camp for several reasons. The fcwHlHidl held out is of thecoldest the accommodations, when in. is wretch-edly insufficient they cannot bring their f i mi liesin inv numlter tbev cannot return them if th-- v

at - left behind their condition on theplantations is one of ease and comfort, andev-r- y olui t, ,.- to access to camp is thrown intheir way. Inat they have been shot in r.iiui- -

ers by overseers and masters is beyond allouestion. 1 ue tact is attested by every sort ot evidence. The horrible fact stands obi with appai-liu- g

clearness and certainty that the murder ofthe slaves w ho cutinot oe conipelleJ to fuiiowtucir masters is a desperate policy and reieut..purpose. On the roads which lead in :he islands.for thirty to fifty miles iu all directions, guardsare stationed to intercept tie. negroes and preveut their escape. If caught, they are sent in- -

laud, and there flogged, tortured, and imprisonedin irons. If they taunot be can-li- t, lls y areshot w itheut hesitation nr mercy. Ai Beauiort aregular watch is maintained. When the guiboats Km un the river, as thev uu evoTV two orthree days, tlie whites keep out of the way. Ifthe coast is clear they return in the day lime aswell as night. The negroes remaining iu theplace are captured, if possible, and taken to themainland. If pursuit is unavailing, they, liketho others attempt:! g to escape, a.e shot.

There is a more horribly story yet. A slavenamed Piiscilla, formerly owned by Mr. (ira-ha-

of Grahamville, now a servant of Capt.Charles E. Full-- r. cue of the brigade (piarter-master-

relates that befi re she -tt the planta-tion, the slaves were ordered into a barn to shellcorn ; that when all were in, the doors werelocked, the barn was fired, an 1 m-- n. women andchildren were burned alive. Captain Fuller as-

sures me that he has no doubt of the fact.Wbeu. aft- -r such horror as that. I add that twoslaves capiur-- il at Beaufort a few days r.ptn areknown to have been taken to the mainland andbanged. I seem to record only a commonplacebarbarity, the truth of which needs uo affirma-tion. Ii is not merely mt u w ho are Uymg toescape that are murdered. The families of thosewho have escaped are treatf-i- i w ith tbe utmostcruelty, and :ne of them have actually been

The knowledge ol the fact has cre-

ated so much excitement among tho negroes iucamp that it was found necessary to double theguard, to prevent their leaving, in order to bringaway or endeavor to hide their wives and chil-

dren.One other fact of a different nttu e, and 1

urn from this frightful picture of Hut amenitiesof the social institution, whose tijnu and immu-nities ale so carefully acknowledged ami pro-tected. 1 am indebted tor the to GenViele. There is a slave girl in camp who lefther master under ohe following circumstances :

had been compelled to share h- -r master'sbed. and the tearful reluctance with which thestory was gradually drawn from her showed howbitterly she felt tlie disgrace to which she hadbeen compelled to submit. Her master w ilediscovered the fact, removed her from the house,and indicted upon the inuoceul victim of herhusband's brutality the severest punishmentrepeated floggings She escaped at the first op-portunity, and came to the camp.
