The Ketiew. A review took place yester-
day nndcr the inspection of "Gen. Hebert. We
belicTe lhi3 rerieir emrtced nearly all the
troops on this Island those on the opposite
aide.of the Bay tt aifferent stations not being
included. The troops passed down Treroont
street in the following order; Col. Moore's
Regiment; Col. Mieliols's Kegiment; CcoVs
llaUaUon ; lga's Bttteryi CftTis' Squadren
or Cavalry commanded by Atting Major Bior-
dan. We my possibly hare omitted some in this
enumeration. This is the first time we hare
ever witnessed so fnll a review nn3 re believe
our citiiens were generally much gratified to
witness the decided improvement in drill and
the soldierly bearing of tho troops.

Soiitlt Carolina Is Cordially Hated
In life Sonth."
OurTeaders will abserve that the above is a
sentence from the article of the New York
Times published in our last iBsue. We ask
our readers to persue that article and we think
they will come to the conclusion we have
namely that the present attack upon l'ort
RoralSvas ordered mainly from tho conviction
expressed by tho Times that South Carolina
is" corcially hated by the South and hence
i-thal that Stale would abtain little if any as
sistance from tho oher States of the South
to aid jn resisting stjch an attack. The con-
clusion therefore was that the expedition
against thatStalo would bo more likely to be
successjur'than if directed against any other
port oc the Southern coast.
But how comes it to pass that the opinion
should prevail at the North that South Carolij
na 13 haled by the other Southern States? Vty
presume every well informed refcd-ir will gir--prelljfmuch
the same answer to this questipn.
Duringany years past resistance to Federal
oppressien and Federal aggressions upon the
rights of slaveholders has been the leading
theme of political discussion all over the
.country aud Sonth Carolina has stood prom
inent before tho-worid as the most zealous ana
persevering advocate of such rcsislance in
some form and when at last secession from
the Government that inflicted theseT wrongs
was deUfrmined upon by the great mass Of the
iisr5Sr."il. -! . u ..-i...ii: B
and only effectual remedy South Carolina
was the first to adopt il the first State to re-
sume the powers delegated to the Federal
Union" and proclaim her original and absolute
sovereignty and the first State also to defy
the power of Lincoln to compel the Federal
flag to hi lowered and to raise the Confederate
banner in its place on the walli of Sumter.
Hence the universal desire throughout all Lin-
colndom to gratify their feelings of revenge
against that fearless little State. As the Times
admits that State is considered the bead and
front of the offending and but for th'at State
It is believed throughput the North that the
entire South could have been brought to sub-
mit as loyal subjects of Lincoln's despotism.
Thie it will readily"be admitted accouSJs for
the Northern detestation 'that Statl but
why is it assumed that gbeis also hated in the
South? It is well known that during tbe
years of the protracted discussion of our
wrongs and their remedies there was a largg
and highly respectable Union partythroujsny
oat the South who believed that a rcrufdj could
be found short of a dismemberment of tbe
Union and who therefore depiecated secs3sion
a3 tbe worst evil that could befall this country
short of tbe lbss of our liberties. It was un-
derstood by this party &3 it was at the North
that these so-called dangerous heresies secess-
ion nullification etc. originated in that State
and it will be well remembered by all that
many prominent men and ltading journals of;
this party whoto patriotism tvo neverjtlouut-
d continued formany years to pour out the

We are still without our own correspondence
from Au3tin but learn from the Telegraph's
that there has transpired in our Legislature
very littlo of much public interest. Nearly all
the bjlls presented hare bcn committed to
the Financk Judtliary and Military commit-
tees. Ajojntrcso'ution was adopted to go into
the election of C. S. Senators last Saturday
and Ibe Civilian learns that lion. W. S. Old-
ham and L. T. Wigfall have been elected Con-
federate Stales Senators.

A joint resolution wasjniroauceu requesting
our members in Congress to bring before" that
bodythpropriety of lecogniiing the Texas
end NewqOrleans railroad as a military necessity.-
'
The jsreat scarcity of paperin Austin leaves
it a matter of some doubt whether thcro is
enough to do the printing this sesaion. A
committo is appointed to correspond with the
Houiton and Galveston offices in regard to the
public printing.
It is believed there will be.very little private
or local legislation this session. Judge Buck-
ley as might be expected from his well known
ability is said to preside as Speaker with
efficiency and dlznity : and coed order and de-

"hies are evijilff for the very good reason that
the treasury is also empty. It is supposed the
session may continue till Christmas. We can
hear nothing further or Governor Lubbock's
Inaugural. Wo hope that is not delayed for
the want of paper.
A bill has been introduced into tbe Senate
by Mr. Harcourt reasserting the original
boundaries of Texas to tbe source of the Rio.
Grande and embracing New lIextcoetc. which
we formally sold to tbe United States for ten
millions of dollars. Our right to take that
immense territory back is bas"ed.on tho ground
that tho treaty of cession has Been violated by
the United Stales and is therefore niflongcr'
binding on Texas. The bill.itis'thoughtTill
pass.
Since writing the the aboye we" have re-
ceived the State Gazette ofUie 9th Inst (11
days from Austin) in which we find Governor
Lubbock's Inaugural which iwe shall give our
readers soon.

assurances from a most authentic source that
Lincoln has informed several gentlemen
high in authority that tho army will not go
into winter quarters hut that a fonrard
movement is determined on and will take
placo at the proper time.
' The New York World speaking of the
naval expedition says : It is manifestly net
the intention of the Lincoln Government to
attempt the capture yet of the large South-
ern seaports. But it thinks that New-Orleans
Mobile and Savannah could be taken
without any great expenditure of bluod; bui.
that the" retention of those cities (or any ono
of them) would bo ft much more serious
matter; and sayB that a lodgment on an
island or series of islands -which command
imrortant harbors .with a viow of future
operations is manifestly the object of the
expedition.

fleet had passed the batteries and when the
St. JIarya left a mest terrific cannonading
was going on. -The tight continued until 12
o'clock and when the Savannah left at 3
o'clock the firing was unabated except at the
Bay PotnrBattery which hadbeea silenced
-between 11 and 12 o'clock. At this time a
tremendous cannonading was'kept up by the
fleet consisting of some thirty odd steamers
and gun-boats which' was returned by Fort
Walker the battery on Hilton Head.
TbeFort Walker armament consisted of six-

publican journal. Many other Northern pa-
pers have freely expressed their astonishment
at the great miliUry powsr and resonrses
which the Kcuth has brought to bear against
them in this war bat they acknowledge their
inability to account for ii. The most common
conjecture among them U that wo hav9 been
secretly supplied: with munitions of War and
means to prosecute it by foreign nations.
The Ledger is the first to discover and admit
tbe trus source of our military strength u
compared with the free StAtfbai what makes
this admission th? more remarkable is tho
fact thai it is in direct contradiction to all
Northern opinion and theory on tho ssbjeci.
But facts are stubborn things and will disft.se
some light in spite of fanaticism.
To the above ws would suggest some other
elements of strength of some importance ibr
the people of the North to take into their esti
mate in this war of invasion;
They should bear in mind tbe wide differ
ence between a war of inzaioa.tzi& me of A.
fence. We are fighting oil onr oaa soil for tho-
defecco of ourhomes and families oa the great
principle recognized by cur lathers tht we
have right to self-governmeut. They deny na
this tight and arc sending their armies and
fle?tlosnbusaia us. Their war of invasion
costs them two cKtbree times as much sj ours
of defence; and another cousideraticn shoclcl
not be left out of tha accennt which is that
men who am invading a country thjry never
before saw thousands Of miles from their own
homes lo deprive Ifieitiellowmetfof tfcerign
of self-government a right which their fath-
ers and ours asserted for us as well as for thera
cannot feet that they are fighting in a right-
eous and just cause as those do against wham
this war i3 waged; and without thai feeling'
they cannot be toe equals m any conflict with
those who have it. Men who coma to kill their
former brethren and"desoIate the homes of their
faolilie? cannot light like those who? are da-
fending not only their own live? but all they
hold dear. The former know that if they-aro
defeated they have only to go home where they-
can enjoy undisturbed all they can call their
awn while the latter if defeated know that
ali is lost and that henceforth they musi ba
the subjects of a powerforeign to themselves.
Should not such considerations make a.wide
difference fn the -Sgtingualitiesof the con-
tending armies ? And. has not that difference'
been demonstrated jn every battle up to this
time ? Have not the Confederate forces been
triumphant in every contest though Tastly
outnumbered by the enemy?
We bops the Ledger wiil take these consid
erations into its next comparatire e.-tlimateof
the relative strength of tie North: and Sonth
in this war.
There is still another consideration which
ha3 not yet been presofeJ to tho minds of tha
Northern people supply because they have .-
been deceived in regard to it. But they will
soon find that we are a vniUd people whilo-
they know that ncthisir but Lincoln's despot-
ism keeps down a large and increasing Jtty
among themselves opposed to this war. But
that party will yet be known and felt in spits
of tha government which has now destroyed
the freedom of the press and free discussion? ;
while on the contrary those very acts of ty-
ranny hiTa theluinraland inevitable effect ts
render tbe pecpleof tha South stiil more uni-
ted and resolved never to submit to such a.
despotism as long as there is a man on South-
ern soil able to bear arms.
We commend to theLedjer all 'heze cons:d
erations in making up iUnextrnimiteortha-
comparative military powers of
Soith in this war.
