Oar Resources for the War. . A foolish idea prevails at tho. North tha tho South cannot raise her own provisions nnd will starve outright if the war bo kept up The idea is born of Helper und is only a typ of a class of ideo^ on this subject by which tli North is tnost industriously deluding itscll "The census tables show that the South raise inoro provisions per lunn than thc North, an nearly us much as tho great grain-growing r< gion of the West. The statistics of thc corn try also show that tho Eastern inanufacturin freo States consume an equivalent of all th surplus products of the Western free States aud that thc free labor North, taken as a uni exports little or nothing abroad. Tho gold < .California and about twenty-five millions < . miscellaneous truck constitute thc sum tot ,of Northern exportations of Northern growt ?ind production. Thc surplus provisions i thc Western free Slates arc nearly consum? by tho Eastern manufacturing free States. Tho wholo exports of the late ?nibil, with tl ' " exceptions wo have stated, went from tl South. If Western grain went off front Nc York, it was but little in excess of tho qua titios of Southern provisions sent to Northei manufacturers, lt was liberated by virtue tho receipt of Southern provisions, and real represented only au export surplus furnislu by the South. With tho exceptions state .tho wholo exportation of the late Unio amounting to over three hundred millions your, went from the South, of which cotti alone furnished ono hundred and nincty-oi millions. Resides the three hundred tnillioi sont by the South abroad, she sent also to tl North about ono hundred and fifty millions dollars worth of produce, cotton furnishing course tho largest item of the amount. Co sidcring tho North asa foreign country, tl exports of tho South, in time of peace, a four hundred and fifty millions a year. This is thc largest exportation for tho raf of population known in the com moree of t world. If the surplus of its products sc abroad measure the wealth of a country, th is tho South, tho number of its populati being considered, the wealthiest country tho world. Yet tho North deludes itself wi tho boliof that thc South is weak, poor, and the point of starvation. A country pun agricultural ; a country of prolific soil and "most prurient vegetation; a country with t best organised system of labor on the glob a country exporting four hundred and fi millions of dollars worth of surplus prodm ayoar; that country poor, weak and stint for food 1 What follies and stupidities i sectional prejudice capable of leading a p plo into ! ? This hallucination has its origin in the f that many of tho Southern planters conti] ou s to tho groat rivers purchase their corn r bacon. . They purchase because tho same lu who Would raise ono hundred and fifty doll worth of corn raises four hundred and fifty < Wa worth of cotton or sugar. Thc plain therefore, who purchases, and who increa to that extent the product of his cotton ' culgar crop, nearly doubles the value of labor he employs in tho substitution. . But how fallacious is thc inference, that cause a few Southern plan tors, on thc gr - highway?, purchase corn and bacon, theron tho whole South will starve, if cut off fr trado'lfrith tho pork und corn-raising State tho Union.I Tho very fact of war, und isi tion,froro these latter States, at once ma the South tho grandest provision-growing gion in tho world.

' " M??.i? j? n.M. nullum.m,..m.m, m* i..i Sute of Affair? in New York-An Inside View-Condition of tho Northern Troops. The following ox tm ot from II New York let ter, received et tho offico of tho Richmond Dispatch, gives n view of affairs somewhat diftereut from tho representations of Northern newspapers : C* Tho Stook Exchange brokers of New York, it is said, aro nearly all Abolitionists, apd some resort to all kinds of tricks to bol ster up L?ucoln's insano civil war. Ono of these devices is,' that whenever John Rrown Chase wants a new loan, they make fictitious sales, ono with another, of United States bonds, at advanced prices, which never ehaniro i hands. This !s done to bring bidders for the new loan ot high rates. Thc money spent on account of thc war is recklessly wasted; ev erything is conducted io a loose and extrava gant manner, and sticks in fat lumps to tho palms of Black Republican jobbers, spoils men, camp followers and contractors, of course all for the sake of the stars and stripes. The torroism proclaimed by Abolition mobs has subsided somewhat, both hore and in Now York. Common sense people begin to reflect upon things, and look at what is going on in its true light, now and for thc future. Nearly one-half of tho so-called troops in this city - and 1 have no doubt the same ap> plies to the grandiloquent array of numbera at tho North generally-are " men in buck ram." About 81,000 are put down as road] for service in this city or vicinity, when, ii thc truth could bc fairly stated, it does no amount to moro than half that number. Tin truth is, that they aro short of arms, and can not supply thoso already called out. Noa rb all tho regiments concentrated bore and a Staten Island ure drilling without arms. Alu such r ci ni ts ! They aro picked up at ran dom, from the lowest dregs if society, com po ned of <; Dead Rabbits," lovfcrs and rowdies That New York has sent some noble rcgi nichts, (and moro the pity,) composed o brave and worthy men, who have been wei ! drilled as volunteer regiments, including th I 7th, 8th, 00th and 71st, cannot be denied. 1 Rut neither these corps, nor any di.spassiomit citizen, who have seen thc motley bodies c raw recruits following drums and fifes throug thc streets, will deny this assertion. Arin arc short, and this fact is militating strong] against the movements of troops against tb South. Tho men of thc South and Soutl west have always been in possession and us of fire-arms. This is not so at the Nortl and especially in Nor!beril cities, where fe' or none possess fire-arms, such as rifles, &c outside of volunteer companies. Tho whol militia force of Ohio does not exceed 200,00 men ; to call -out 100,000 would take ever other man in the State, which is simply a impossibility. Thc whole military force < Now York city and State is about 000,000 to call out 100,000 would take one man in c cry three, which is also impossible-beoaus in either case, farms and business pursui would have to be abandoned, which would r suit in a famine. It is stated that Lincoln intends spcedi to send two agents to Europe to pureba! stenniers-of-war and arms. Thc South ougl to pursue a similar course. Seward will not allow his instructions Adams, bis Minister to England, to bo pu lished. Thc reason is that Adams is n rai Abolitionist, and it is said Seward's instru lions arc mainly bussed upon the Exeter IL platform. In other winds, bc tells bim say that thc North is able to put down tl South, and that it is against an attempt to ? tablish permanently n slave empire that tl North is fighting, and that in putting dov slavery nt tho South bc appeals to the phils th ropy and humanity of England for synip thy and sustenance. Whenever bis instru tions see the light, it will be found that A olition sectionalism forms thc staple to all t European Governments. ANSON.

Our opinion of Providence pinces Him far above such mat ters as Anderson seems to think were regula j ted by Him. I Wc admire a religious man, and above all : things wc admire and respect a religious sol dior, but wo do think that Anderson has tried I a little too hurd to prove to the world hy j words, not deeds, that he bchmtrs lo that class.

My dear wife, wo aro in a most wretched state with bu'.igcr and weak ness, and bordering on a state of starvation. Our rations arc stinking pork and biscuit once a day, which wo rcfuscd'to eat, and which the dups would not come near. Two of our offi cers were taken and confined in the guard bouse, from tho aticrnoon until twelve o'clock next day, for reporting to thc Colonel and Quartermaster that the meat stunk, and wa? not JU for (fo^s, and liait the men were not able to come to drill with hunger and weak ness. One of those officers was Captain Mciver. The Colonel called a court martial on tho other, who was a Lieutenant, ami turned him out of the regiment and kept hit sword, sash and belt, which belonged to him self. A great number of our men would liol swear into tho Govern moat in consequence ol their treatment, and si.rh'vli in number ino stripped stark naked on thu square bc. lori the regiment and all the Government clothe; taken from them.

Tl superior wealth, power and resources of tl North must certainly win this contest, and will demand much more humane and effectu nicans to literally force thc rebel Govcriiuioi to commit suicide-to die of thc diseuse tin have already contracted.
