to unravel. What empire su great in extent, so diverse in the interests of its parts, and inhabited by a peop!’ so restless and so intelligent, could have existed longer and prospered more wouderfully ? What constitutional king, what autecrat, could long have held the balance between the North and the South—iae Abolitionist and the Slave-helder— the protectionist and the free trader? We sub- mit that the present contest in the United States is ina great measure, if not altogether, independent of fxews of Goverument. It is one of situation, of interests aad of opimeons that, sooner or later, would have divided any stale under any goverr- nent.

The charge of imbecility which “A. A. BL” prefers against the Government of the United States is, we think, suilicientiy disproved by the manver in which t' at Government has met the mest formidable rebellion of modern times. It has, in spite ef many reverses in the field and much treachery in the council, been able to keop in ewe &@ bumerous aad disaiiected party within the loyal States themselves. [t has maintained its station among nations, aud kas exterted the respect of Chose whe, at the outset of the struggle, regarded it with cowtempt. This “imbecile Ge

“Aa. A. B.” taunts the veople of the United States with submitting to restrietions on their bberty. These restrictions are, we imagine, in separable from a state of civil war. That the avvereign people subwit to them cheerfully, de- monstrates that they possess an amount of patriotism and intelligence which their best friends never gave them credit for. “A. A.B.” cannot be igavrant of the fact that the fear of revolution aud civil war had the eflvct of making liberty of the press and liberty of speech were vawes in the British Islands.

uteness of the hour, the debate |

which Gen. Grant is supposed to have designed, is talked of with sowie tear by the Richmond £x- aminer. The coming Presidential eleetion, and the chances of Mr. Linceln and General Grant, form subjects of comment in the rebel press, but the wrilers do not seem to comprehend the idea very clearly.

The rebel news relative to affairs at Charleston is to the 28th instant. Five shells were fired into the city on that day, and poor old dilapidated Sumter returned five shots, all of which ave said to have struckour batteries at Fort Gregg and Cumming’s Point.

Admiral Farragut hud arrived at New Orleans. Desertions frou the enemy at Mobile were very large, many of them joining our fleet while lying off that port.

The news from the Potomac Army is not very important. In a reconnoissance by our cavalry yesterday the Post Office at Madison Court House was visited, and Richmond papers of the 30th of January were found, contaming General Lee's address to his army, exhorting his soldiers not to faint with their compulsory huuger, but to endure tor vuly a stort time longer the hardships of short rations, and several editorial articles contirming previous reports of destitution in the rebel army. The letters possess great interest, as unfolding a view of the sufferings of rebel soldiers and their families, and express a general desire for peace on any terms, and a confession that the rebel cause is hopeless.

Deserters are coming into our lines in large numbers, and report the destitution in the rebel arm, as insutterable. ' - -—- > o_—_- ° THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON—A VISIT

_ oe - PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

A New York paper of the 2nd inst. describes, under the head of “ the Situation,” in the following paragraphs, the state of aflairs geaerally in regard to the war. to suit Northern tastes :—

The President has issued a new eall for a draft for one bundred thousand men, to be made on the 1th of March, to serve for three years or the war. The States whose quotas have been filled on the two previous calls will not be affected by the pre- sent one. In facet, the new order is but a consoli- dation of the two calls previously msued for three hundred thousand men, nearly halfot whow were obtained by volunteering and re-enlistumeuts, and whieh number as well as those enlisted up to the first of March, will be credited. Theretore the eall virtually demands only two hundred thousand wen. If the enlistment of soldiers is properly and vigorously advanced there will be no need of any draft tu fill the quota demanded by Mr. | Lincoln.
