Both sections are going sinto'te unnatural strife inapired by: the feel ving that there are long arrearages of mutual "hatred to settle, The courage and despera-’ tion will be equal, but superior numbers and » ‘@jadipline must eventually triumph It has heen suggested that the blockade of ‘the sodithern ports, recently instituted By the President, w will ‘be’ rendered nugatoty by French and British. interference. The manufacturing interests of France and England, itis asserted, must have the cotton of the se* ceded states or, be ruined, and that a great: political necessity exists in these countries to ‘keep their tttinufacturets steadily employed. Rather than have their cotton mills stopped gist and éeveral millions of operatives thrown out -of employment, to become national: burdens and elements of insurrection, these two powerful governments, in the opinion of a large’ class of American politicians, will. pay no respect to a blockade thet threatens them with guch direfal consequences. It is to be pre*'gtméd, however, that the federal government, before ordering the blockade, carefully weighed all its contingent difficulties new pre‘cisely what would be its results. The probability, therefore, is that the federal ; govern‘ment. made itself acquainted with the views of Fratice and England, in relation to the ‘“plockade, ‘and instituted the measure with: noapprehensions of disturbance from those powers, Distracted as the American Union _ ig ‘at--this. moment, neither France nor Great Britain has. afty especial motive for in” #agurating a wat with it. The northera war feeling has extended even to Californias The regiment now bestig waised ' at: San: Frangiseo, under the ausSX pices of Col. Lippet, is rapidly “filling up, with choice men while it receives abundant: monetary aid from the purses of generous citizens. Several papers in the. state dislike the idea of this fine regiment leaving the shores of California, ata wioment when, as ‘they think therd are so many enemies of the Union here at home “The Marysville Appeal "thinks that Col. Lippet might find ‘employment for his bayonet, inSan Francisco without carrying them to the shores of the Potomac. How this jd We have no means o knowing. Our opinion, however, is that the: Unionists and ats of California can svttle all their differences at the ballot box, aud that'they will not be neeéssitated iy resort to a legs poneeable mode of adjustment. There will be tworegiments of Californians mustered under the “Stars and’ Stripes ;” “and bitice they will fight, there is no other, flag under which tneir military ardor-can be more honorably er nsefully expended, The next scrival may bring us the news of great batile new Washington City, but it is extremely doubtful. Jeff Davis is too good “=. g-oldier.and knows too well the kind of stuff ‘that northern troops are made of—he saw . " them fight at Monterey and Buena Vista—to tisk a battle with the forges. now defending ‘the federal capital. He may be goaded into trying such a dangerous experiitient, by his ‘impetuous counsellors, but we think not. He -ean calculate the consequences of a defeat, ‘inthe outset of the war, better than any of his hot headed advisers, anid he wilt be loth . to risk it.
