Athens Southern Banner (Newspaper) - February 8, 1865, Athens, GeorgiaFrom the Ricki Nond examiner a resales of ten Moi lbs Osbert a to la no the eoe Niju a country. Lyden Confederate obtains the of portus Ity of observation in r a a i and Loots Only a a a surface of he sees Ribeir Large cities Cho cd with n superabundance of Able bodied men revisits military depots bursting with War material he learns in Wall Street that despite the expend i i turns of the War vast additions have been made to Yankee wealth in the development of Mineral resources Copper Iron and Silver whole slope of the Rocky to mountains he is told that Petroleum alone will in a new Vears a be an article of Export to the extent of one Hundred and fifty millions of dollars and that it has al ready founded much in orc so than a a codfish a a distinct aristocracy in the North he sees every where an almost riotous material plenty he finds new York drunk with wealth and extravagance every Day vomiting into Broad. Way and the labyrinths of Central Park a dizzy Stream of luxurious dissipation and an Ridless procession of the triumphs of shod ii. The first impression of such a contrast is that of Quot to intense endurance in the North and the practical superiority of War Power in men material and finance Over the military Means South.-. That is the Impi so Ion which generally comes Lack to us from flying visitors to the North whose observations cannot be Quot otherwise than Hasty and it it is of All first impressions the Ost thoroughly false. The Shock of contrast is soon Over 0 the Confederate who remains in to e Lorth Long enough to make a careful Siena urination of the real spirit of the Forth in this War and its relation to a the apparent superabundance of re Ujj sources in men and Means. Lie gets new Light when he penetrates the surface of things and if there is one truth discover More plainly than any other in his observations in the North it is that the resources Ash sch at first struck Hini to strongly Are but to u Little extent practically available for the purposes of the War. It is necessary to come to facts to show this. The writer Wao in the North during the great Fiti ency of cruising to Teri armies after Grants but carry of the old Potomac veterans and die immense expenditure of Yankee life is last Summers Campaign. The system of Yankee recruiting. Was then As he saw it downright to the expedient of foreign enlistments and the arming of the negroes i is these Means scarcely anything More than these which is to Day recruiting the armies of the enemy a Romr whole system it g has. Parsed to this wretched shift and beyond the Short life of such a military expedient the South has Little or nothing to fear. It it positively known the writer that Grant is now remit citing exclusively with negro troops and Bis Best impressions derived from Ohser Vatican total of taxable value within their jurisdiction a Ems under the pressure. prac licit want of Arras bearing me and in View of the. Fata conclusion of an actual conscription that the question has become uppermost inthe North. Ern mind How Jong the South can in dire the necessities of the War. This simple question of endurance his entirely superseded All other methods of the solution of the War All. Former question is of. Foreign interferences to Litiza revolution Finati Ciar Consul Sions,.&.c.j and is to All North rit men who discern the signs of the times the one practical test that is to it determine the destiny of the South the writer is fully assured that All intelligent men of the North including Yeti leading Black republicans who have not Hestia ted to Comfort themselves Are agreed that the North will never stand an actual conscription and that if the War is pushed to that Point by unflagging Resolution and unbroken endurance on the part of the South it is just there that it will break Down by the weight of an insufferable Burden put upon one of the belligerents. The conclusion is not an extravagant the South the conscription is doubt less imposed upon some few unwilling individuals but in the North with its inferior motive in the War and its Peculiar Cliar Acter Iris utterly. Drop Assn ble to excite a Law of conscription upon a people who Are wholly and absolutely opposed to it. Who Are not fighting under any doctrine of Paras mount necessity and who Hae already Given the most a Uund ant proofs that even the Yankee god of Money is but Little effective in enticing them to the Battle Field. It is almost impossible to describe the dread with which the Northern Pec pie contemplate the slightest possibility of a conscription. Even the draft of last year which Only slightly threat ened such a conclusion was shunned As the plague. When it was thought that some of the Ward quotas would be enforced in Baltimore hundreds of persons left to their Homes and families there fled for shelter to new York and for months remained there in close conceal rent. It is Well known that that City be gingerly touched by be authorities of tor it contains seventy thousand Irish an what is Inore one Hundred and fifty thou Saiid people of the Catholic Faith who constitute a pretty Large seed of Revoy Lution and who Are considered to have a Nade up their minds about the draft a the Stilmar of 1863. Observations huh the Winter made in the Nabith with ceaseless Industry a n d under the stimulus of constant curiosity filled his mind with the Broad conviction that never was the Independence of the South More firmly assured than at this time on the single condition that the spirit of the people arid the army does net break by Shine unworthy impatience or is deliberately broken Down by insane persistence in Folly in the part of a. Vis and his but and out toadies and encourager.

This last Quality is quite As Good to the cbnfidence.it-Svlf-, r will be a Ksilya inspired even in the worst extremity the future can possibly have by a sickle practical regard of the consequences of subjugation. A. It is possible that there Are some few deluded persons in the South who do not rightly estimate those Coa sequences. The writer has heard these consequences too thoroughly discussed among the Yankee in 4o1e�ve any margin for scepticism on the subject. He has witnessed some of them. He has seen Baltimore. In new York there is properly speaking no secession , nothing More than a mete a a a consulting purely partizan ends and not at All dangerous and hence there is no necessity for any special program of despotism there but in Baltimore there is a real sees Ion party and those who belong to it Are kept in a partial condition of subjugation Baltimore thrives say the Northern papers it is overrun and to altering with Yankee Trade but even in this Gross Prosperity the Southern sympathizer has no share. He is he is degraded even in his business All employment is Clofed to him except such As he May choose to tace As the subordinate or employee of the Yankee. All Southern men in Baltimore have found a discrimination in All Fadis and employments against him and Many of them have been compelled to retire from business. They Tell you that life has become purposeless and intolerable to them. They have Given up their business they Are pursued by spies they Are dogged by men who pick up their slightest word they live in a constant Atkins sphere of suspicion. You look at these men and you see a Blaek dejection in their faces a sort of melancholy Devil Quot May care . You never hear any eager or animated words from their lips they have no appearance of interest in what they say they seem to have drifted past Lippe look Ypon their future in Blank dismay the so Ellen in Dir Terence of men who have a longer any object or ambition to serve who have converted life to Mere existence. And yet All this is but the faintest Shadow of a Usu Bjugan lion a Asil is designed to these now without the Bale of the unien., butt is u Seless to expatriate unless to those who Are wilfully Blind the theme of subjugation. If the spirit of desperate Resol Ilion has not already been drawn from what is known of the enemy a warfare it Vytill not be easily provoked by any other arguments. That spirit once fully demonstrated to the North and the War is at an end. It the Only Price of peace. There is pot a scintilla for the South in any political Moy Clinent or any peace Liege to nations to the North.
