dishonor and ruin. Our great misfortune is, that we have always relied on foreign intervention and peace in sixty days. No nation will ever intervene until it is seen that we can maintain alone our independence; that is, until we can no longer require assistance. England is afraid to admit that she cannot do without our cotton, for then she would virtually be in our power. France is unwilling to interfere, for fear of the treachery of the latter. She always remembers her as la perfide Albion. But if France concludes to take Mexico, she will require the alliance of the Southern Confederacy to protect her from Northern aggression. Nations as well — as individuals always consult their own interests in any alliance they may form. Hence, our best reliance must be in our stout hearts and strong arms. I have been very unwell for several months, but could not rest until now. I hope shortly to return to duty, with renewed health and vigor. I know not yet to what point I shall be

It appears, from the following private letter written by General Beauregard while recruiting his health at Bladen Springs, Alabama, after the retreat from Corinth, that he coincided in opinion with General Jackson. We find the letter in The Columbia Guardian, which obtained the writer's permission to publish it: Bladen, Ala., Aug. 8, 1862. my dear General: I regret much to hear of----being wounded. I hope he will soon be able to face the Abolitionists. In this contest we must triumph or perish; and the sooner we make up our minds to it, the better. We now understand the hypocritical cry of Union and the Constitution, which means, and always did mean, spoliation and murder. We will yet have to come to proclaiming this war a war to the knife, when no quarter will be asked or granted. I believe it is the only thing w

General Grant, discharging a cloud of smoke from his mouth, indifferently replied: Yes, I reckon so. The stranger, encouraged by a reply, propounded question number two: General, do you not think Lee can detach sufficient force from his army to reinforce Beauregard and overwhelm Butler?

It was midnight, and no definite understanding was come to. General Floyd, seeing this, dismissed the council, requesting Pillow and Buckner to remaiire, to ponder over the sad aspect of affairs. A long silence ensued. At last Floyd said: Well, gentlemen, it remains with us to decide this matter, and we mshed enough blood already to no purpose, said Buckner. Well, gentlemen, said Floyd, I see you are still divided; and as I have the casting vote, I will settle the the fireplace, and seated himself without saying a word. After a few moments, Floyd said: Well, Colonel, have you any thing important to communicate, that yockets also, and there is no danger to be feared.
