One who knows of what he speaks writes to the Halifax (N. S.) Gazette, warning the young men of that city against going to the southern states. He says :—“The writer of this warning is in constant communication with the land of Dixie, and knows what he affirms. Interested agents may tell you what they please about ‘high wages,’ and the ‘glorious prospects of the south,’ to induce you to put yourself within the sweep of their conscription but if you are deceived thereby, you are not wise. I tell you the infallible barometer of nations indicates a storm which shall sweep the confederacy from the face of the earth.”
A bill is before the confederate congress limiting naturalization to the foreigners who volunteer in the rebel service. The Richmond News says the bill is likely to pass, and argues for it thus —“Ethnologists have decided that the admixture of an inferior with a superior race of the human species degrades the latter to the level of the former, and it is very certain that unless we restrain immigration by the must stringent laws, we shall in a very few years after peace is declared be overrun by Yankees and other foreigners, and that the next generation of southerners will be the vilest mongrels.”
