Lincoln finds that it is easier to let go than j or five Generals killed and taken prison-
to hold on. If a man was on a ,liip at sea, j ers, and several wounded. At least twen-
and the vessel was on tiro, he would cling j ty Colonels killed, and Majors, Captains,
to the wreck until tlie fire reached him:
and when lie saw that lie bad to burn or
drown, lie would let go and find a watery
grave. Lincoln is now in the situation ot
a man who must perish whether be holds
on or lets go. But until the fire reaches
him,lie will cling to the ship. lie will
not relax his hold when one hand is burnt
—be will hold on still firmer with the oth
er; and when the fire reaches that, he will
flench his teeth upon the crumbling cin
ders, and bold till that resource is ex
hausted: and when all these supports fail,
the “Baboon” v ill resort to bis stump of a
tad, and when that gets too hot for com
fort be will let go and fall passively infri
the watery abyss, like Burnside’s army
did into winter quarters, because it had no
where else to go.
But to drop metaphor. Abe Lincoln
will not be for peace during bis term of
office. He now commands the army and
navy, and dispenses the spoils. To say
that there is tlie will and the courage in
the Northern people, or the boldness in
any one man, to attempt to strike him from
bis seat ,before the 4th of March, 1805,
is to say wliat no man in l.is senses believes.
The Confederate States can certainly con
tinue tlie war two years longer. Nobody
but a soft shell Southern man would sa
to the contrary. Well then, as Lincoln
cannot make peace without jumping “Out
of the frying pan into the lire,” lie will
have nothing to do with any proposition
looking that way; and as the Confederate
Government cannot stop the war until the
abolition Government is ready for the
question, the conclusion forces itself irre

No battle of the whole war has sent so
much mourning into the circles of the
respectable and wealthy classes of the
North. The Yankees claim a victory,
but the bowl over tho killed and wound

upon the result as a defeat. Gen. Bragg

President Davis in bis address to the
people of .Mississippi, at Jackson, a few
days ago, said, when “lie saw a lady
wearing a homespun dress be felt like
taking liis bat off his head in respect to
her.” Here, women of the South, is a
compliment which ought to be appreciated,
and merited. The President of the Con
federate States, the head of a groat nation
—a statesman and soldier—a wise man,
and a good man, expresses an admiration
for the women of liis country, wto wai
material made With their own hands, so
exalted as even to draw bis hat off his
bead. Will any true Southern lady hes
itate to weave and wear a homespun dress,
| when the opinion of such a man as Presi
dent D;ois auaenes Honor to tlie act? It
is not only honorable to our women to
weave and wear tlieir dresses, but really
homespun is becoming to them- A home-
spun dress well made, and snugly fitted to
the form, is truly beautiful. Let the la
dies discard calicoes, deslaines, &c., and
rig themselves in material made of the

fighting might be anything but beneficial
to tho Grand Union Army that would be
so fought; or that it is needful to make
such a circuit for just that battle, which
they have been able to obtain on any day
of the last six months by simply following
their noses in a straight line forward over
a piece of road varying from three to ten
miles in length. We may afford now,
also, to furnish the enemy with a further
piece of sound and accurate military infor
mation : that neither the mail line of
Fredericksburg, nor the Central xoad
from Manassas, nor the York river and
Chiekaliominy route of McClelan, nor
by the James river and Drury Bluff, up,
nor the ‘Appomattox to Petersburg, nor
through Suffolk and the South Side, is
the right way for them to come to Itlcli-
moud. Their geographers, topographers
and generals are all now not less clearly
iu the wrong than was Young Napoleox
last summer, or the Infallible Pope last
fall; or Burnside this rvintcr, Not one of
them lias yet, by lucky chance or profound
genius, indicated the right and true route
to Richmond ; for every one of those yet
named leads straight to a Species of obsta
cle which they ail agree must be avoided
—the Confederate army of two hundred
thousand men, and a battle which will be
“fought to extermination or submission.”
Thev have under consideration no less than
six paths to thm ; n-nd -n-c can an .-race
them with equal truth and sincerity of
purpose, that on every one of them, and
just at the point where they had rather
not do it, they have to fight a Confederate
army. Choose which they will, they
must accept battle on the ground ot our
»vrn scKctixn, as at Fretlericksburg, or not
come to Richmond. They want to got
here without entering what they called
last summer ‘‘a slaughter pen” and wliat
they style this winter an “Aceldama.”
Every one of these six known roads passes
directly through such places, each more
j unhealthy than the other; hence the real
| route to Richmond has not been discover
ed. Guess again.

Monday, to tlie citizens, and assured them
that he did not mean to desert them in this
time of trial. He told them that lie intend
ed to make a stand betwen Allisonia and
Tullahoma.
In referring to the late battle, he said
he fell back because our troops needed
repose, being perfectly exhausted. Ho
said our loss was 7,000, and that of the
enemy between 15,000 and 20,000.
