A Cheering Account. Wo have had a conversation with tho lion. John Goode, Jr., who i« just from tho army of Gen. I. Ho informs us that a spirit of devotion f<» the cause and an enthusiasm exists with tho troops, which nt no time has ever been exceeded. At tho houdquartors of some of tho di vision commanders, ho had an opportu nity for observation which loaves no doubt of tlm existence of thin fooling in the army.
