9AJCURD^yjMORIIIKO....ATJ«. si, ueuJ&~ A correspondent sends vi a very kngand very able letterfrom Rev. Dr. Andrews,

of Shepherdstown, Berkeleycounty, toBishopMcllwawe, of Ohio. The author, althougha Northern man, does full jastioeto the South.We regret that wantof room prevenU vi'frompublishing it.

The Seat* and Eas |and.The letterof Mr. Roseau, to the LondonTimet, which is such a monstrous oarioature

of the battle of Manassas Plains, need notmuch astonish the public. He tella us thathesaw menrun from that battle whom it were adisgrace to the noble profession of arms tocall soldier. We hare no doubt of it j but ifthey had run even faster than himself, theycollinotmore disgrace the profession of armsthan he, and others like him, theprofession ofjournalism. We hare often, in times gone bj»admonished our readers that they oughtnotto receive with implicit confidence the stata-ments of European affairs by the Timet' cor-respondents. They write, us an attorneypleads, for the side on which they are em-ployed, withoutregard to truth or justice. Itis lamentablethat such a powerful engine asthe London JW« should be engaged in fab-rioating falsehoods, and misleading and de-ludingthe public mind; but that such is thefact, no American, at least, can doubt, afterreading the last letter of Mr. Robskll and theaccompanying comments of the Timet. Theimpression which the whole foreign world willderive from that letter is, that the battle ofManassas was a regular Chinese engagementon both sides, and that the Americans of bothsections are little better than Chinese.

Saoh a caricature is simply the produot ofan old grudge against America, for that theTimet cares a groat for either party in thequarrel, is a simple absurdity. Cotton is anecessity on one side, and Exeter Hall is apower in the State on the other; and Mr.Russell seems to be balancing his attentionbetween thetwo, like the ass between twobun-dles of hay. If Great Britain can hesitate inher choice betweenfanaticism and cotton, Mr.Rcssbll is less of an ass thanwo suppose,?We do not believe she can hesitate long; weknow the must bow theknee to cotton in theend; and if Mr. Russell, especially after therout at Manassas, can be induced by Seward\u25a0nd Scott to believe that logland can get theootton without the consentof the South, he isnot the man whom the Timet should send toAmericaat such a crisis, if it has much re-gard for the interests of its ownpeople.

The South is master of the situation,bothas regards England and the North. It doesnot expectthe sympathy of England?her in-terests, and these alone, must determine hercourse. We understand the power of fanati-cism in Great Britain, and do not underratethe violence and venom of Exeter Hall. Butthe eharaeteristic common sense of the Eng-lish nation never fa?'s to assertits ascendancyin all matters which concern pounds, shillingsand pence. The instinct of manufacturingand commercial self-preservation lies deeperinthe English mind than the morbid philan-thropyof abolitionism. We care not for themisrepresentationsef Russell, or any otherhireling emissary of the London Tinea. Wehavethe cotton, and it shall beburned, everybale of it, before England shall have it in anyotherway and manner than that prescribedbythe Confederate Government.

A Long War has Its Advantages.Many in the South desirea long war. They

will hardlybe gratified by the Yankees, whodo not desire any prolongation ofa conditionof things so disastrous to trade as the war.The South cannot suffer a tithe as much asthe North from a long war; on the contrary,such a war will benefit her interest in manyrespects. They may be enumeratod as fol-lows : l6t Itweansthe South from Northernsupplies and relationship. 2d. It begets anindependent manufacturing spirit among us.3d. It employs our abundant supplies of foodand means for carrying on war. 4th. It cul-tivates our mi'Uary spirit, rendering our armsa terror to foes for all time to come. eth. Itwill beget peace with less actual conflict inarms, ao no sooner than tho nezt presidents1campaign opens at the North two parties willarise to crash each other?the Democraticor Peaceparty, andLihcolr's or the Abolitionparty. Itneod surprise no oneif this preciousconflict opens with such men as ex-PresidentPibbcb and Vallandigiiam, on one side, forpeace andrecognition; and on the other,Lin-coln, or McClkllan, or Skwabd, with somedesp-dyed individual as Vice President. Al-ready a peace party is forming there,and ifthecampaign wasnearer we should have butlittle to do South bat to keep oar army in thefield and await the natural result of partyspirit. 6th. Every oneknows the quick sub-sidence of any feeling among the North-ern people, especially in the large cities.They must have novelty upon novelty. Thewarhas already been a long warwith them.Hence the first volunr:ar.i are escaping home-ward. We mayexpect that the recruits willecaroely overbalance the returning soldiery,and that they have as large an army as theycan collect. 7th. The Yankee money, thoughplentiful in times of peace and prosperity, isscarce in wear; and for several reasons?first,a $50,000 capitalistin NewYork, Boston, Ac,has his funds somewhat in thiscondition: $15,---000 in a suburban villa, yielding no per cent;$16,000 in city realty; 920,000 in bonds ofvariouskinds?the two last paying scarcelyany dividends just now. So you will per-ceive he oan command no money for the war,if so disposed. His situation compares badlywith that of a Southern fanner who owns thelike amount, his being in land andnegroes,say $40,009, balance in notes, all realisingevennow agood profit, and enabling him tocontribute to thewax, by taxation or donationthousands of dollars.

A long war, therefore, will bring ruin to theNorth; and, should England refuse to recog-nise, let her so refuse, aad get up a war ajhome. Wecan fight it out, if need be, with-out thanks toany earthlypower.
