Over and - over again the world has been told that our troubles would be terminated in a certain period. Foreign nations were assured, through our Ministers abroad, that the re bellion could not last beyond a certain period, and yet, the time fixed, so fre quently, for the prostration of treason has passed and gone, until the present mo ment, and the great preparations of our government for further hostilities, admon iah even the dullest that our troubles have • but seriously begun. The question will naturally arise here, how happens it that our government and politicians have been so egregiously mistaken in their estimate of the contest? We do not think that they were so much • mistaken at first as they have been unfaithful - since. When Mr. Seward, sixteen months ago, predicted the prostration of the rebels in "sixty days," he had good grounds to believe that such anonsittnmation would be speed ily reached. At that time there were large majorities in all the Southern States except Soutii Carolina, in favor of the Union; and if those majorities had been fostered and encouraged - by Congress, in• stead of being crushed by radical legisla tion, there is good reason for believing that the last, at least, of Mr. Seward's predictions would have been verified and rebellion by this time utterly prostrated. The spirit of radical Abolitionism, how ever, has had the control, and before its fierce crusade all moderation and con servatism has had to give way. What is particularly striking, even now, after so much lamentable experience, is the fact that the Abolition agitators will neither learn nor forget. They are now more insolent, exacting and furious than if they had been successful instead of failures, and they cling to the worst ex- ploded chimeras with all the blind devo- _lion which mark the ravings of antiquated 1 fanaticism. Hunter's negro experiments, after nine months' absolute and uninter rupted sway on the coast of South Caro lina, in a district containing fifty thousand slaies, have proved a most lamentable failure. His endeavors to convert then. I exSoded,Thus falsifying the prediction into soldiers, under his own supervision, have 1 of all the negro-soldier champions is the • land. --This General Hunter ordered no less thin fifty thousand stand of arms from the government, with the expectation of making use •of them by that number of negroes; but, after ail his labor of love, 1 the attempt proved a most miserable fail- 1 are; and, upon the authority of an officer 1 .of Hunterre division, the National Intelli- 1 gencer sta:es that " white soldiers bad to be stationed around the negroes' camps every night to prevent them from deserting to the enemy with their Enfield rides." The " cotton experiment," too, has even proved s failure with these negroes under Hunter's care, and now we see by an order I of Brigadier General R. Saxton, com manding at Beaufort, South Carolina, ti at these contrabands are to be put to the' manufacture of "rush baskets and cedar tuba." The following is an extract from this new experimental order. which is da ted on the 2d instant: "_With a view of guarding them from th e evils of idleness, and in the hope of finding a profitable market in the North for the products of their industry, it is pro posed to introduce the manufacture of rush baskets and cedar tubs. This being the proper season for the labor, the superin tendents having any of the people refer red to in their charge will immediately set them to work in gathering and curing rushes, the more skillful being employed in making them into baskets. " These and the cedar tubs will be ship ped to the North, where it is believed they will find a ready sale, both on account of their real utiiity and of the laudable ob- , Rut sought to be attained by their menu future. The proceeds of the sales to be applied for the benefit of those who con tribute the articles." Thus, we perceive that the experintents with the negroes of South Carolina have proved total failures, and we may safely predict that their "cedar tub trip and rush basket" undertaking will prove nothing more. Yet in the face of this experience, under the supervision of men whosehearta were in their vocations, our Abolition de claimmw atal ;..afar "Inn... la. • . . arming the slaves in order to make Union soldiers of them. And, what is still more to be wondered, at is Cassius M. Clay and his coadjuters depreciating the purposes of the war, because the government will not recommend a course of policy which has already been tried and exploded. But, now that these schemes have been tried and found wanting, we may indulge the pleasing anticipation of work in earnest, and that speedily; and that our govern- ment instead of heeding the ravings of en thusiasts, will devote i'self to the work in hand; and bring about a speedy and last • ing reunion of cur now dissevered confed eration. THREE NUISANCES The New York World is disgusted by no less than three nuisances; there are others, of course, but the threo it enumer• ates are intolerable. The first of these is a Western cotomporary, which publishes false reports from the Western department; the second is a Mr. Charles Mackay, a small beer poet, who used to indite sickly poetry, but who of late has become the war correspondent of the London Times, taking the place which 'Bull Run Russell" grew weary of tilling the third and great est of the disgusting trio is thus described by the World itself: "The third nuisance is the frightful lit tle spouters, both secesh and abolition, who, each for their own reasons, are do ing their best to discourage enlistments. The rebel sympathizer dues it because he sees the sure doom of the rebellion unless this great movement of the loyal North can be somehow stayed. The fauittical ab olitionist does it because he fears that so many white men in the field will crush the rebellion without the aid of a servile up rising. These two classes of mischief-ma kers aro but a handful crenparativelv : and yet by their untiring activity, each in their own direction, they unquestionably pre vent many enlistments. We are glad to see that our authorities are at last begin• ning to take them in bend. The confine ment of a few would inspire. a wholesome fear in all. Doubtless these men have aright to their opinions, and to their pro mulgation too, just so far as such promul gation don't tend to hinder the practical work of the government ie suppressing the rebellion. But when it curves to that, it certainly does when it impedes enlist meats, no forbearance should he shown it. It gives direct aid to the enemy, and should be acr,eunted as a species of faction 'no better than otet,:ieht treason No oth er government on the free of the earth would tolerate it, even in a time - of peace. It is asking ten :such that our government should be indifferent to it in time of war, and where even its own t4i0, , ; , 1CC is de pending on the issue. There is a le n' on the statute book wide!: arms the govern ment with all the authority necessary : let it ho enforced. The other nuisances we ' have named may be left to public opin ion; ',bet this should be abated by official interhareaea.'' SOUTFIERN NEWS. All Depends on Fort Darling. That blockade may yet prf:,ve ineffectual, and the fate of Richmond may depend up on the pluck and determination with which our batteries, whiek pmoteet it, are held uuder the assaults of the mortar fleet. It is given out that the defences at the Bluff are impregnable, and the people are lulled into apathy by this assurance of the scien tiffic strength of the land batteries. It will be remembered that similar as:ace:tees I were given out in regard to the works which protected Beaufort, in ..ictilth Caro line; which lined the Mlisissippi river for miles below New Orleans: end which se cured Norfolk from the pcsOility of suc cessful assault. Yet tt will be rem'aered that Pert' Royal was taken without the ahling of a stogie gun of th, eneo,y; :h u t tiew Orleans teal by unviny in Fort Judi son, cud without a single shut trout the army placed in the yieimity tUr its defense; , anti that Norfolk was evacuated in a sudden stampede, no enemy pursui ng , th e enemy himself being amazed at the precipitancy of our retreat from a position they them selves declared to be impregnable. With all this experience before its, it would be weak in-the extreme to tru-'t to official assutanct a of the impregnability of defensive works, though thee may be as strougas Gibraltar.' iteasonable precau tions having been taken, and proper works for its defense; after that all depends upon the men placed within them to resist the assault. It we put such men in charge of such works as abandoned New Orleans without a shot, or blew up the Merrimac far from sight or hearing of the toe, and skeddadled from Norfolk with breathless precipitancy, Aro must not expect thu strongest and most impregnable works to stand against gunboats, mortar fleets, or even more harmless assailants. It becomes the Government to see that officers and men are placed in charge of the works ut Drewry's Bluff of pluck, parbisteney and unconquerable determination. LitichmoNl E xPm'ne-.) A Contraban lis Estimate of Jackson. The Agusta Chronicle says some one asked Stonewall's old negro body servant how hemline to besc much in the confidence of his master. "Lord, sir," said he, "mita sa never tells me nuilin; but the way I know is this—massa says his prayers twice a day, morning and night; but it he gets out of bed two or three times in the night to pray you see I just commences packing any haversack, for I knows there will he the devil toplay next day." Acf to Organize bands of Parti zan Rangers. Szcnozi I. The Congress of the Con federate States of America do enact, That the President be, and is hereby authorized to commission such officers ca he may deem proper, with authority to form bands of partisan rangers, in companies, battal ions, or-regiments, to be ebinvisad each of such numbers as the President may ap prove. SEcTiox 2. Be it further enacted, That such partisan rangers, atter being regu larly received into service, shall be enti tled to the same pay, rations, and quarters during their term of service, and be sub ject to the saute regulatiohs as other sol diers. SECTION 8. Be it further enacted, That for any arms and munitions of war cap tured from the enemy by any body of par tisan rangers and delivered to any quarter master ut such place or places as may be designated by a commanding general, the rangers shall be paid their full value in such manner astheSceretary of War may prescribe. The Crop throughout the South. One of the leading merchants of Rich mood, I now in the Synth, faunishes us with the toliowing very interesting letter. It is dated at Vieklibure, Mississippi, and reached us a few driys - ago. The writer says: One of the severest droughts that ever 'tainted this region of the country has at last culminated in I , llll—y es , it - ruins at length;a good old fashioned summer rain. As I passed through Camilla, Georgia, and. Al a b ama , rpy breast swelled wit h emo dog, s my aight,wae regaled with fields of waving corn, wherelptely bloomed the kingly staple of the South. Last year. I mi.& a similar tour of these States and saw immense fields of cotton, but no corn, save a few little patches for plantation use. Bnt now the reverse is the case—a little Patch ofcotton and a big field ofcorn. Had tho t.o;” • aggeration to say that corn would have to go begging in our marketsfor a purchaser. As it is, we shall have a superabundant crop. No fears need be entertained as to our ability to feed the armies of the Con federacy. The planters, with rare unamity, have installed John Barleycorn and dethroned King Cotton. A greater self-sacrifice on the altar of country was never before re quired of any people. When the new crop is gatheredand added to the old; we may, with tolerable correctness, estimate the whole number of bales at six million, less two million supposed to have been ready for shipment, four million bales. After our ports shall have been opened, -or rather the hearts of our people it will take from three to six mouths before supplies will reach their place ofdestination. Who can form a proper notion of the distress which must overtake the great industrial interests of the world in the meantime? Many, very many, on this side of the At lantic have seen the seeds sown of a mighty revolution in allthe great commercialcen tree of Eurupe. There was a time for action—resolute, decisive action—on the part of the Great Powers. There was a time when the statesmen of England and France, had they beta boldand tar-seeiag. might have prevented this desolating war. It is now too late to save themselves or to save us. England will be as impotent now to arrest this revolution as she was to ar rest the great revolution begun in France, and which cost her millions of lives and money and twenty years froitless struggle. Europe may not escape revolution. but must accept the gage of battle that :11 ill be thrown in the teeth of the United States. She cannot avoid it, she may postpone, but cannot avoid it. Time will tell her. In her womb are many events, the deliv ery of which will startle the curious. I)It .

From this private remark,doubt less, has arisen the rumor that such an ar rangement is to be communicated. it has no other basis. General Corcoran hqt Washington at 1 o'cloch this a. tn.. for the North. Gen Burnside is here. lion. Iteverdy Johnson, of Maryland, has made his report to the government upon' the points in the administration of affairs in New Orleans. He long since went thither to investigate, and the Presi dent has approved its conclusion. It is understood that he recommends the re turn to the Consul of the Netherlands, the eight hundred thonsand dollars seized by General Butler, that the seven hundred and sixteen thousand be returned to the French Consul; also that a large amount of sugars and other merchandize be relin quished to Greek, British and other for eign merchants in New Orleans, as accord ing to Mr. Johnson these seizures cannot be justified by civil or military law. CAIRO, Aug. 20.—The steamers Skylark and Cultic were burned by guerrillas on the night of the 18th, at the mouth of Duck creek, thirty miles above Ft. Henry. The Skylark was heavily laden with govern. ment stores, and got aground. The offi cers had unloaded a portion of the stores, when they were attacked by a band of guerrillas numbering thirty. The crew being unarmed, were compelled to surren der. The gnerrillas. after removing the furniture and silver ware, set fire to both boats. The crews were released on parole. There was a slight skirmish on the 16th, thirteen miles from Memphis, with a part of Jell Thompson's cavalry, in which the rebels were routed, with a loss of one killed and two wounded. A dispatch from Smithland, dated 19th, says a rebel force six hundred strong has taken Clarksville, and are advancing on Fort Henry. A dispatch from Fort Donelson con firms the capture of Clarksville and says the rebels are moving on that t point. There being, only 150 efficient men there, reinforcements'are asked.for.

Large number ' s of Irish citizens also called, to whom he made personal appeals to arouse their countrymen of Baltimore to rally to the standard of the Union. He consented to address the people to night at Monument Square, and the front of the Court . House was beautifully deeoriteirsind:illiiitifiliteit for the occasion: Mayor Chapman pre. I sided and introduced Gen. Corcoran, who was received by an immense concourse, nearly filling Monument Square, with long and repeated cheers. He re turned thanks for the enthusiasm of reception, and attributed it rather to the glorious cause in which he was identi fied, rather than to any . personal merit.— He then proceeded to give an act Pint of his imprisonment, and detailed a number . Qt inclo4B . of outrage at Richmond, Charleston, Columbia and Millbury. He described the prison' at Ssilisbnry, in which there were 300 Union citizen priso ners, among whom he found a number of Irishmen wbo bad refused to fight under any other ftig` tlipn that which they had sworn allegiance to i fini *tit— arrival iu this country. Their treatment was more brutal than that of the military prisoners, Among them were old, grapheailed men, bowed down with suffering and sorrow, but firm in their allegiance. The deaths among them averaged two a day for the last ,:plz months. He appealed to all who loveclikrOld:gag,T.rid hated tyranny, to rally with hintio the relief of those stiffer mg martyrs: He well gmpbic account of the condition of Richmond, under the rule of the arch fiend and tyrant, Jeff Da vis, and declared that liberty no longer , ezi:lted there, and would never be vouch safed to the psopie, until the old flag was restored. The streets presente,ye most deserted and . mournful cinidittori. No able bodi3d mg! dared walk on the streets unless provided ram a militarypass, and all that was to be seen on its tuorough firei was jaded ar.d ragged soldiers, and women and children dressed in mourning. If any of hishearers sympathized with the rebellion it was only necessary for them to see what he had seen, to drive all such foelima from their hearts. He; verily be fiercer-that no such tyranny and oppres• aim] existed on the face rattle earth as the despotism of the Southern Confederaey.— He concluded with a strong appeal to his countrymen of Balemore, who he could not believe were disloyal to the cOuntry that gave them freedom, liberty and chi zeitship, zeiothip, to rally to the support of the government in crushing the rebellion. He ass followed in eloolient speeches by Fl •ed•taliormaii.
