Tbe Battle at TietSerlchsbura.
A letter f -om the camp at Fredericksburg, dated
tbe 18th, nays-
We are here, near the great line ol battle, and
will briefly recapitulate what we have seen and
he ird The enemy attempted the passage of the
Rappahannock by iuymg Town their pontoons at
one o’clock on Tuursday morning. They were
pvi initted to g t than- bridges bull fluished Deiore
our men tired upon them. About dawn, however,
the I7ih and 16th Mibsissippi, a part of Barks
dale's Brigade opened liie upon them, kidiug aud
wounding 11 large number. These regiments were
armed with Springfield rifles, and ior a while,
diOve tbe pontoonera from their work, iuen it
v. uH that the Vankees opened upon the town, with
snot shell and grape, to the destruction of the
houses and the terror of its panic-stricken inhab

THE BKFOGEBS
Thß amount oi suficiing itiil ci-cd on the ucu
combatuntsot Fr. delictshurg by the unpiinci
pied foe, is heart- rending. The picture which
meets the eyo at every farm bouse, cabin and hut
lugitivea from buruing bome3 cad desolated
heartbstonea, clustered 111 melancholy groupa in
tho bouses and übout tha yards watching the
clouds hovering over ihe ill-iut-d cuy and listening
to tha steady ro»r of the armwiy whose every
volley adds to the already t.rr.bla scene of de
structiou—ia enough to-uilect. the stoutest heart,
and lrom the most charitable call out curses on
the Infamous authors of to much misery. The
continued inaction ol the enemy gave assurance
to U number of families who had lor many weeks
been sutlering within sight of their homes that tho
danger ol bombardment uud passed, and within
the past few days they returned to the city They
wore startled troin their dreain of security by the
hissiug shod through the bed chamber, the rat
tling of grape iu tho street, and the solid shot
openin ' ns way through roof aud floor, even of
churches and ploughing up the very bouts ol
their ancestors in ihe churchyards. The shrieks
of women with their iutauts iu their arms snatch
ed hastily from peaceful sleep, as they rau in
1 ranlic aoiazomeut aud terror through the streets,
was enough to appal any but a \ ankee s heart.
Som i sought refuge in tbeir Cellars, blazing raft
ers and sttjaodug timbers ovevuead ar**ve them
ag.iia into the street, ilow any escap-d is a prob
loui whose solution must come withiu the catalogue
of miracles. There ara rumors of women and
children having been killed, or polishing i-inid the
flames, but amid the contusion ol conflic.iug re-
piorts, we can iffina nothing definite.
Between th? present terminus of the railroad
and Hamilton's crossiug, about two miles, we en
countered numerous fugitives from ths burning
city- An obi ruau, accompanied by his wife and
four or five children, wusmiekiug a roof to shelter
them. They saved nothing but the clothes on
their persons, ihe reeui.s of long years o( toil
remaining iu usheß behiud them. A most affect
ing eight was a widow with four .little children,
some barefoot, und o'.heic iu tneir uight clothes,
following her weary steps. Au infant n her arms
was crow ng 'msi y unconscious of the tearsoours
ing silently down tho mother s cheeks. This
scene, however, lot ms only pc.'t of the sad picture
on every hand presented. L.-t us hope that every
exertion will be made by the benevolent to miti
gate the sufferings of these poor refugees.
Ns*n BaTTLv Ground at Hamilton’s i
Cbossino, Dee. li, 1862« j
Since the close of my letter on yesterday the
battle has been raging fiercely and furiously along
* line old miles, reaching from a point just
Falmouth aloug the ri''e.' as far down as I’ratt e.
The ball opened on onr lett wnh aitiilerv aoout
a. m , end was carried on with heavy guns
until about half past oue whta the infantry first
weet into act on on onr right. Then it was that,
for hours, the combat raged with au i a tensity at
least equal to, it uot greater, than anything that
has occurred during the war.
Your correspondents wore on the right, and of
eourse can speak with more accuracy m regard to
the fighting on that wing than on toe -est. Jack
son sustained by A P. H ; J, bore ihe brunt ot
the battle, aud m-biy did they sustain themselves.
The Yankees fought wed, but wera repeatedly

Trom the Memphis Appeal, now published at |
Jison, Mise., we take the following inc’dent of.
the retreat of our army from Abb»villt—written |
hv a member of one oi tbe cavalry divu ions :
Un Friday evemog, the kith Novomber, the
enemy’s advance guard drove ia cur pickets at j
Hally Springs, and entered thA pace iu force.
1 he r.i xi .fay tbnr udvar.e ng co ! omn was gallant- j
ly asv.i ked by Major Saunders' battalion of Mis- j
i;, cavalry i numbering only about 00a him- J
p r ,and rn- with a lo:-s ol twenty or thirty killed
m th; s ■ of the ea 'HIT. «r.d only three on cure !
I v -2 however, u&a but momentary, and
the KederrJs, having brought a sacuon ot artillery
npon the scene, continued slowly to advance. At
O and VVaterterd, Cos). W. H JacSsou, ourabiechief
of cavalry, with what few forces he then had at
• sand Epusel, formed hts line ot buttle, and, with a
Ee disn of aiti lery, replied to the enemy gun for
un ; but was compelled slowly to retire by the
cver'whelmiDg and superior armed numbers ol
the foe.
From WateHora ti the Tallahatchie river,
during Saturday and Sunday, our cavalry ad two
piiccs of artillery skirmished with the enemy at
every point where a small force could be made
availably against a large one, falling back slowly
and in good order, and with but little loss on
either side. On Sunday the main body of the
army commenced the retreat from the strong
position tn front o: Abbeville. A largo army of
Federal* *as said to begetting into oar rear by
the way of Charleston and Oakland. Colonel Mc-
Culloch’s brigade ot cavalry was sent on with the
advance guaid of tho army. The Texas cavalry,
under the believe, of LieuteDant-001.
Unffitli, was seut to meet tbe enemy at Oakldkd.
Sunday night, what was left ot Col. Jackson’s
division ol cavalry, comprising the fragments of
Cols. Wheeler's and biemmons’ brigades, formed
in the rear oi the retreating army, and slowly
wended its way through torrents of rain to Oxford.
t Oxford, the cavalry aud one brigade of in
factry, remained all day Monday and part of
Tuesday, the 2d inst., while tue reot of the army
and the immense wagon trains slowly wended
their way through mud and mire, by two roads,
southward. Tuesday, about noon, the advauco
ot the enemy was descried a short distance north
o’. Oxford, and fuavy skirmishing at ones began,
on both the Wyatt and Abbeville roads. On the
former, Col. BalleutinS commanded, and carried
his men into the tight with a skill ana gallantry
that have become the admiration of the army.
Tbo hcrse3, however, of a considerable number of
hi ; men, who had dismounted for the prrpose of
charging the enemy on foot, wsie un ortnnately
stampeded. Subsequently, most of them were
recovered. On therigh', on the Abbeville road,
the skirmishing was not so heavy, though there,
on the luit, the enemy were luccesstully held
in check until everything of much value was sa’e
Is got off. , . ...
During the whole of this retreat, the enemy
£f,pt several thousand cavairy, with long ranged
guns, (Colt’s carbines,) and navy repeaters, in
tht-ir front, who, on approaching oar retiring 00!-
n -in would dismount, and come up to tbe conflict
on loot It was thua at Oxford, in the skirmish
north of mat town ; but wbeu they came into the
[>;■ c , which tney aid just before th; .est ot our
infantry were leaving, th#y did so with infantry
iU By nightfall, the last armed Confederate had
101 l the towu, and iho gallant soldiers of the Eiouth,
horse, loot, uud artillery, were all ready, aud with
U e most p.r ect deliberation, splashing their way
t rou lu.i, and stop, and slush, towards Coifee
yi 0 a heavy cavalry picket occupied the hills
in sight of Oxford during the Bight, while the
mini nody of the cavairy termed in several lines
ol battle at convenient distances and occupied the
roa ’s from there to ibe Tckuna liver, ihe next

fiercely encountered by Gen. A. P. Hill’s division,
forming General Jackson’s right, and after an ob
stinate combat repulsed. Durisg this attack,
which was protracted and hotly contested, two ot
General Hlfl’a brigades were driven back npon
our second line.
Gen. Early, with part of bis diviaiou, beiug Or
dered to hie support, drove the enemy back from
the point of woods he had seized,and pursued him
into the plain, until arrested by his artillery. The
right of the enemy’s column extending beyoud
Hill’s front, encountered the right of Gen. Hood,
of Longstreet’s corps. The enemy took poeßesiiioD
of a email copse iu front of Hood, but were quick
ly dispossessed and repulsed with loss.
During the attack on our right the enemy was
crossing troops over his bridges at Fredericksburg
and massing them in .front of Longetreet s line.
Soon after hia repulse ou our right he commenced
a series of attacks on our left, with a view of ob
ta’ning possession of tho height 1 immediately
overlooking tbe town. These repeated attacks
were repulsed iu gallant -style by the Vvashingion
Artillery, under Ooionei \Vniton, and a portion of
Mcl-aws’ division, which occupied these heights.
The last assault was made, after dark, when
Colonel Alexander’s Battalion had relieved the
Washington Artillery, (whose ammunition had
been exhausted, ) and ended the contest for the
day. The enemy was supported in his attack by
the fira of strong batteries of artillery on ihe right
bask of the river, as well as fay hia numerous
heavy batteries on the Stafford heights,

The mail of Sunday lu.3t brought us the intelii
gencr that Gen. Thomas R. R. Cobb had fallen ra
battle on the 18th mat., before Fredericksburg.—
We have never before seen such deep and universal
sadness settle upon our town. His loss to the
State and Confedeiacy is great, but to Atiiensir
riparabU, other men may till hte place in the
army, and. iu public life—none can till his place
iu this community. The friend oi the distressed,
the universal counsellor, the pillar of his Church,
tbe prime mover ru education, to whom, in ohort,
ail looked’ to lead in every public interest, aud to
advise ia every difficulty, all this, and more, was
he iu Attune
It is embarrassing to write of Gea. Oobb, be
cause the simple truth s junds like inflated eulogy.
Uls qualities ol Iliad and heart ware iqualiy ad
mirable His intellectual powers, cultivated as
they were, but extensive and piofonnd study,
placed him at the bead of his profession iu the
State, at an age when tew lawyers are kuowu
beyond their counties. The tide of success ia his
priictioi hardly ever met a check; it would be
d'fficult to find another lawyer, engaged in so
many causes, who hus los- so few.
The highest political honors were easily within
his reach, but up to the time that he felt impelled
by duty to promote the secession of Georgia in
1860, he had firmly declined any part in politics.
He became a member of the State Convention,
and ol the Provisional Congress for the purpose
of carrying through the revolution which he had
advocated; and then, ia spite of the anxious
wishes of his District to retain him, ha withdrew
from Congress, und entered on a military career.
Tha high qualities displayed, aa Colonel of the
Legion cahed by his name, won from the Presi
dent a commission as Brigadier General; though
the batt'e in which it was his fate to fall, was the
first opportunity that had offered of commanding
in any important engagement. Those who knew
him, indulged the highest hopes of his military
success— hopes now buried with him.
The most striking quality of Gen. Cobb's mind
was bis untiring and indomitable energy. He
*• knew no such word as fail.” With him, to de
cide was to resolve, and to resolve was to begin to
execute , his power to do was beyond any we ev
er knew in any other man. This quality neces
sarily gave him asc-.ndency and control over the
minds cl otherq and enabled him to accomplish
oftentimes wbat seemed impossible. But, more
than all, be was a good man. A kinder heart nev
er beai, a more open hand never was exteaded to
the ueedy. Distress and suffering never failed to
find a friend in him. Not merely his money, but
his time, his talents, were at the call of mercy.
Os his domestic life we will not speak. To ihose
who knew him, as a son, a husband, and a father,
eulogy would seem poor and weak No words of
ours can do justice to his devotion to those withiu
the sacred circle of his home. On sorrow, such
as theirs, we will not intrude. Nothing could
have so proved how strongly his sense ot duty
urged him into the army, as the fact that be con
sented, for that duty, to be separated from those
in whom his very existence was wrapped up.
Gen. Cobb wag a sincere, zealous Cbmtiau ; a
Christian in heart, in intellect, and iu life His
Church will long teei the loss of its most efficient
member.
We could write much more ou luu topic, but
we forbear. His career has closed His brilliant
sun has gone sudd-mly dawn, wheu it had not yet
reached its meridian height. In the full vigo of
his powers, in the very midst of his usefulness,
when all hsbad dene seemed but tbe prelude to
greater things yet to be done—death has claimed
hun lor a prey. His name will be long remember
ed—may his virtues be imitated.
The cause in which he bled i.as had many
glorious martyrs—never a purer, braver nobler
than Thomas R. R Cobb.

Confederate Note* and Bonds.
We are glad to find that the efforts made by the
Government to cure the evils of a too redundant
currency mp bqjng generally seconded by the peo
ple, aud that the judicious law o! the last Congress
is having a better effect than we had hoped or an
iicipated. By that law, all Confederate notes
dated previous to the first es December, 1862, can
be converted into bonds bearing eight per cent,
interest, provided they are presented for payment
a t the Treasury or sny of the depositories in the
several States, by the 22i day of April, 1868.
A tier that date, they can only be converted into
bonds bearing seven per cent, interest
We hope the people will continue to uphold
the efforts of the government to reduce our too
redundant currency. Not only self interest but
motives of patriotism should induce them at once
to invest their surplus capital in Confederate
bonds. Half tha evils of high prices, which it is
too much the habit to ascribe to speculation and
extortion, injustice ought t-o be ascribed to the
inflation of the currency beyond the demands of
our limited trade. Too much money has, from
the unavoidable necessities of the Government,
been thrown upon the market where, like every
oth r loramodity, its value is governed by the im
mutable laws 01 trade-the law ot demand and
supply. The eff’-ot of such Inflation has not been
unknown ia the present generation—all canreiol
lect how even gold dspreciated and goods were
enhanced in vain* after the gold discoveries in
California—many can recall fha wild speculation
and enhanced prices ofl 83 f or thereabout, caused
by an inflated paper currency, which collapsed
withys. crush aud ruined many an enterprising
trader and many innocent of speculation. To
avoid a similar catastrophe cur government ha*
wisely and in time resolved gradually to con*
tract its paper currency and no well wisher to his
country will refuse io sil in the good work.
it is useless to repeat that no better in vestment
can cow be found than Confederate bondr, that
fp.ct has been dinned into the ears of tha peopie
till it bos become f-s wearisome as a thrica told

cy sf the people. Other people have coin or bank
bills with which eo buy and soil, we hare nothing
but Confederate money, with the exception of in
significant change bills No other people, there
fore, Bver hud such a stake in maintaining the
credit of their government, and it is stark math
ness and fuicida to refuse to aid ia that object.
We have heard it urged that tbe very principle
i upou which our gcverniEf nt te founded, the prin
ciple of scccseiod. acts ss a drawbac* upon Con
federate credit. Let the objectors rest easy—‘here
w it be no mere secessions for many alongyear—
if at ail—not till the present race of men “have
dons with things below,” for there will be no
cause for 'hi application of that remedy
Wa shall, when our independence te secured,
bs a homogeneous people, with no conflicting in
terests, and can, by no possibility, inflict such
wrongs upon each other as will not recoil upon
ourselves, or which wiii demand a resort to that
fast remedy, secession. A danger may arise from
ambitious demagogues—from self-seeking, seif
important, and vainglorious Governors, and other
high officials, such us even now, in our hour of tri
al, are playing such pranks before high Heaven, ‘as
make e’en angels weep,” but tbe people will have
learned the wisdem to keep such men out ol pow
er in future. They will frown indignantly upon
all those who, by word or deed, attempt to destroy
the cohesion cf the Confederate States, cemented
together by the blood of many a battle. No, we
fondly hope that the political doom of such dem
gogues is at hand, and without tlmm, there is no
danger of further secession.
Still, we cannot deny that tne conduct ot some
of the State Governments and Executives tends
to countenance the idea that they imagine there is
some diversity between the States und the Con
fedt racy. They are not entirely guiltless of
separating the interest of the States from that of
the Confederacy They take upon themselves
powers and duties rightfully belonging to the Con
federate Government, theyvwiden trifling differ
ences which might be easily composed by a little
concession ; they place obstacles in the way of
Confederate laws and of the common defence All
these petty and captious proceedings help to
weaken the faun of the people in the stability of
the Confederate Government, and, consequently,
iu its credit. Timid men fear to invest their sub
stance in tha obligations of a Government in which
they think they sea the seeds of another crop of
disunion already germinating But tha man who
knows human nature, sees in these displays only
the struggles ol duli men to do something smart,
and the tip-toeing of little meu vo show promi
nently above the crowd, Thera is no danger of
anyibing serious resulting from their exhibitions.
th?y must do something to be talked about, and
when that object is- attained there is an end of
their bluster, which only does harm by causing
people who do not understand them, to believe
they m-an mischief, audio be deterred thereby
from a chosen course.
. Some of the State L .gisiatures have proposed
to endosre the cTeait of the Confederate States
with their own—a measure that mast, to tbe ex
tent of tho endorsement, lend credit to the Con
federate obligations Others have raiused or neg
lected this endorsement. Our own State Govern
ment, wa believe, refused to adopt this course,
but they have done that which amounts to the
sain* thing—they make appropriations for de
fense, and to relieve ihe general necessities—they
take upon themselves work that properly belongs
to tbe General Government, and expect to be re
munerated from the general fund, when peace
shall come. What is this but lending the funds of
the Siat., tj thi Confederacy, or endorsing its

prive his government of the support of the friends
of the Union who ars not opposed to slavery,
Still he insists, that the war though made sot
avowedly for the destruction of slavery, ai • s at
that end, for “ if the Confederacy prevails slavery
will have a Constitutional, legit mate and ac
knowledged State, devoted to itself aB a para
mount ofcj ct of national existence, if the Union
prevail tbe Government will be administered by
a majority hostile to ths perpetuation and forti
aeutiou ot slavery.” To show that the operations
of the war are as much against the existence
of slavery as though it were wagfid directly and
avowedly against ita existence, ha cites the fact
that wherever the Federal armies have appeared
they Lave stepped between the slave and his mas.
ter, and freed the termer from the control of the
latter. Further to demonstrate the enmity of the
Fedetal government to the institution, he points
to the manner in which it Das acknowledged ihe
equality of the white and black races -its efforts
for the suppression of the slave trade, emancipa
tion in the District of Columbia and its favor of
the recognition of Liberia end Hayti. In a sec
ond tetter Seward announces the purpose of the
Federal Government not to allow the war to be
protracted to the exhaust'on cf either party, or
to the bringing into the conflict of foreign navies
and armies, and bints that the order for emancipa
tion to take effect on the first day es January
next, was forced from Lincoln by military exi
gence.
Thrije revelations oi tha ulterior purposes oi
Bsward are vaiuabte to us., whatever may he the
effect upon foreign na'ions. They drmona.rate
that the war henceforth will be for the extinction
of slavery—a fust often asserted and aa often de
nied by Lincoln and hte men Tho piea of mili
tary necessity, which excuses so many rascalities
will be made the excuse for this crowning vil
lainy to those who need an apology for it at
home, and to these abroad whose whole system
of industry Is based upon ths maintenance of
the institution. The Not them Abolitionists ana
English, who are worse than the others, inasmuch
as they act white the others only preach, need no
apology for such a flagrant wrong.
Seward, upon the humanity of England and
the complaints of bar people about the block
ade, te rather caustic; but the remainder of bis
production contains nothing worthy of note, ex
cept tbe threat that any interference on the part
of foreign powers would bring on a “war oi con
tinents, f, war of the world, In which, whatever
etes may revive, the cotton trade, built upon sieve
labor in' thiscountiy, vviii be irremediably
in the abrupt cessation of human boadage witbir,
the Territories of tbe United State.?.
In reference to tbe late Nottharn steetioas,
Seward labors to remove the impression that any
party at tbe North is in favor of recognizing the
Southern Confederaey—as to which he teti-j us
nothing new, though il may be new lo the people
for whose eyes tbe letter wea intended

It is evident that there live been as yet oaiy
partial engagements beiweea the forces confront
ing each other upon the Rappahannock, i’bey are
merely preliminary to the great barite which is
yet to oome oft.
Partial as these nghts have been, and partici
pated in by only a few divisions, not one tenth of
the estimated force of the respective armies, they
have been attended with that amount cf blood
shed so remarkable in aii the battles of the present
war. Our State has to mourn the 1c33 of e Gen 6 •
ral universally respected as a civilian, admired as
a soldier and beloved 03 a Christian gentleman
No man’s death will be more generally mourned
than that of Tims. B. B. Cobb. His life has been
offered a sacrifice npon the altar of his country,
may the memory of his patriotism live forever.
We wish we were able ts say any thing which
would relieve the anxiety which 1 3 agonizing

of cur people must suffer the terrible suspense
until the list of casuahties is received. It is. how
ever, a consoling circumstance, that the mortality
among cur soldiers is comparatively Bmall, though
the proportion of wounded is isrge. Most of these
are slightly hurt, as is usual in bfettles, and the
fact that the numbers have baen so readily ascer

The contest there is enveloped in doubt aud
gloom. Without placing credit io the Northern
accounts, whieh claim for their ‘orce3thepo3
ssssion of Greaaic, it is evid int that we have lost
much ground, and that our army has baen forced
back many mites since the battle of Corinth. Ilio
Confederate army there is far inferior in number
to wbat is generally supposed. It has received
very scanty reinforcements, tor the story of
Hindman’s having crossed th3 Mississippi with
forty thousand raea was shamelessly bogus;
while to ths Federal army a continuous streausof
mon ha3 been pouring iron* the North West to
replenish its ranks. The multitudes which are to
be hurled on oar handful of heroes there, are not
not yet fully ready to move; when their prepara
tions are complete, a desperate coutest will ensue
for the possession ot the great valley of the Mis-
Bisaippi-a contest whieh, we fear, will be hope
less, unless our forces are brought by reinforce
ments to something nearer eqaulity with those of
the enemy. The advent ot Prasi 1 ent Davis, who
has declared hts intention to sharo tho fortunes
of the Western army, will infuss anew spirit

energetic action , still the prospect ia Mississippi

The retirement of Burnside tram Lea’s front
.8 an acknowledgment 0} defeat ia the fight of
Saturday Had h3 bean able to hold the footiag
he had gained on this side the Rappahannock, his
retreat is inexplicable. It is possible that Gen
Lee's supposition is correct and that his inten
tion is to attempt a crossing in another place, but
the supposition that hia army had become de
moralized, reminds ua that we have had frequent,
and credible news of the domorolia ition of the
Yankee army after every halite and very frequent
y without a battle. Demoralization is becoming
as mach a bye word aa recognition, intervention,
mediation and ail those expressions which came
ao glibly out of men's months in these t irae3. We
are disposed to think that B i-is'd > is about to
attempt some ruse, but we see uo other road by
whioh his “oa to Richmond" c ia now be executed.
We should not grieve to hear, however, that Gen. ’
Lee bad retired lo some position nearer Rich
mond. The greatest danger to the Coufedeiate
capital te not from Burnside but from the South
side. If the expedition which !at-!y sailed from
New York under the command of Lanka has ai
rivei in James River, .which was us destination
according to' one conjecture, tho eu ray’s forces'
within airikiig distance of our railro. and eommani
cations with Richmond eanuot amount to less
than fifty thousand men, and that those communi
cations are uot sufficiently guarded ;s evident
from the fast that a small force of X ankee cavalry
were able, so far as we know without opposition,
to take possession of the road, destroy the track
and bam bridges, it vs oi vital importance
that these eoiumunicatiiia.i rdohlJ fl- tiaiutnr
upted, even if Lae mire* and yields to ths enemy
the exhausted country between Richmond and
the Rappabanaork. It caa bs recovered, na it
has been heretofore, when the fore, pressing on

Hte plain enough, from the news that we get
rrom the North, that 'he feeling In favor of peace
*3 growing every duy, and that Lincoln’s Adtnin
ietmtion is becoming mote and uiora unpopular.
We have only to re!er to our telegraphic columns
this morning for evidecc-3 of these tacts, ibe
people there Lavs not. yet arrived ai the point to
yield up the contest cn anv terms, even on these
dictated' by the Confederacy, but it is evident that
they are rapidly approaching that conclusion.
The sentiment of nationality is becoming weaker
is the prospect for tie restoration of the Onion
becomes darker. They cannot much longer en
dure the cctsation of the couimeiceby which they
p.-s-pd—the dtprersicn of tbeir industry—the ac
cumulation onheir public t ebt—the iocressa of
taxes and Ihe depreciation of their currency.
They have not the same stimulus to carry on the
war which ws have, for there appears to be. 00
idea of patriotism among them, they may have
entertained a hops of conquest and longed for the
glory of subjugating the “ rebels,” lut no incen
tive on. their side can Ls equal to those on ours
They are not fighting against au invader, for al
idea of invading the North appears io have been
given up on our side. They are not fighting in
defence of their roil nnd their homes, but the
leaders are only actuated byths lust of power and
the followers by the hope of gain.
It is not to be wondered at then that their pa
tience and enterprise begins to tire, and that the
successive defeats they have met with should ms
gust them with She war, since the objects for which
they jiave carried it ou are not such ns to innpire
enthusiasm or such ar wiil enable them patitmtly
to endure defeat. They eee every attempt against
onr armies fail, tlieiv most elaborately plaane-*
expeditions overthrown, they Und themselves not
withstanding their vastly superior resources infe
rior in every attempt ogainet our ill supplied
troops, and they art beginning to discover that
their role in life is not war but ths plodding arts
of peace. They have at last discovered that they
} avo undervalued the South—its 3trenglh and its
courage, and that they had over eatimaled tbeir
0, n They are so astute peop'e, ever readv to
abandon a useless or a losing operation, and in
the class of desperate undertakings a majority of
them count ihe subjugation of tha South.
The defeat of Burnside and the failure ol till
their rrcent operations must go for towards in
creasing tbe disgust of the war, which had almo st
culminated in the recent elections. A large ma
jority of Ihe Northern people will soon bedemansl
ing peace on any terms. The wide spread du
satisSction which exists, cau no longer be con
