Probably one I :?lf (lie officer* would be Southern men, j i ud resign when they reHclied the South, t r.d disband their forces rather than hear I t rins against their brothers. <. liul if they did not, and made tlie Lest J f their forces, they could do nothing a- i ? ainst a fr?-e State fighting for their j 1 omen and firesides.

What L bsurdity does this proposition make. r lTpon the whole, we are well assured j lat no fighting can possibly be done on t count of the secession of any one or f lore states. .Mr. Lincoln can get no* | ody to light I lie South for him, and no t loney to arm, equip and forward then), , he had them volunteered. 1 j On the contrary, the people of thia j hole country would he as keen for bu. , neaa and traile, and the accumulation of ^ ealth, after disunion as before; and with I , at versatility for which they are prover ial, they would adapt themselves to n ! langc of government in six weeks or j f !ss, and go on as swimmingly as ever, . taking money, building railroads, im i roving cities, marrying and giving in 1 infringe, and doing in ail respects just < a sensible people do now.
