<4cn. Lee op Inc War.
Tho Columbia South Carolinian says
that a gontleman who has just arrived
in Columbia, from Riclinidnd, brings
the cheerful intelligence that Gen. Lee,
;in .conversation with a bevy of friends,
recently., made the remark, that, with
twenty thousand additional men in his
army, and- forty thousand additional
troops in tho army of. Gen. Johnston,
wo could whip all the Yankee tribes
that may be brought against us. He
further observed, that if the contest
was prolonged until September next,
and wo should meet with no grave.dis
asters (which Gen..Lee did not antici
pate), tho greatest crisis qf tho war
would bo successfully passed.
If these opinions of the great cap.
fain of the age he faithfully reported,
they aro worthy to be. written in gold-
We would hold them up before tho eyes
of every man, woman and child in tho
Confederacy, and point tb them'as a
day star. Sixty thousand men more,
and. pur struggle over! The very
thought makes the heart leap for joy.
And now, men. to the work of strength
ening the army. Gather up tho absen
tees, officers as well as privates) culti
vate your fields and prepare for heavy
crops; bring down the price of tlie
extortioners ; cease for the nonce tho
giddy race for wealth ) stand by the
Government in its efforts to reduco tho
currency; let us once moro have spon
taneity of action—string, determined,
fervent action—and the next spring
will, in all probability, see tho begin
ning of our gloribus end.
Already the busy note of prepara
tion is sounding. Iting it across the
land. Rally, in heart and rally in per
son. Our armies, though now smull,
are in splendid health and spirits—full
of life and hope. The enemy an . mass
ing all their gigantic powers for a film
throw of the dice.. i(ilHong aro pour
ing out in bounties, and -hirelings,-such
us they are, will confront with their
superior numbers our bruye Ijoys on
tho field. But Providence hqs been
with us in the past, and . Heaven • will
not desert our cause if wo but deserve
its blessifigs, while we struggle for tlie
pig(4, The North chafes undor its al
ready immense burden) the approach
ing national election there is destined
both to weaken and revolutionize, and
chaos premises to cofflu uguin, Let us
hope, then, for success. United wo
can - never be overwhelmed. - Onr
strength is unabated^ bur resource
undiminished, o.pr all involved in th°
contest. Let our. people prove true to
themselves and tlieir past, man the
rnmparts'for a final struggle, and we
shall make good the prediction of Gen-
Lee—that .before the ditiyt of another
year the flag of victory will wave over
a free'aiiu independent Confederacy. .

. The Front.
All is perfectly quiet.' We heard,
yesterday,, thbt the enemy’s cavalry
were two miles beyond Ringgold; but
gave no signs of a demonstration on
our lines.
Last Saturday, the review of Hindi
man’s Corps was a splendid spectacle.
We did not see a single “ragged or bare
footed Rebel,” but all appeared well
clad and shod, and the most of tho
11oops moved with commendable pro;
oision. A slight Mil of rain, however*
making tho ground slippery, interfered
considerably with uniform locomotion.
Witnessing these reviews and the fine
condition of tho troops, has inspired us
with renewed confidence in. the Army
of Tennessee. We could wish, howev
er, that the nrtillery horses had aJittlo
moro long forage for many of them
were very much, on tho Itosinante or*
der.—Dalton Confederate, -Feb'. 1.
From the Tennessee Valley—Roddy
Captures Athens, Alabama—-More
Regiments Forming.
Two members of Roddy’s command,
wlio ariived hero yesterday, biing us
tho news' of tlie capture of Athens*
Alabama, by Brig. Gen. Roddy. They
are direct from Tuscutnbia and obtains
ed their informatibn’from a Lieutenant
of the command, whom they fell ih
with on their way here.
Gen. Roddy contemplated moving
on Athens in two columns. He sent
Johnson’s Cavalry Regiment and a bat
talion of cavalry, not yet organized,
across the Tennessee below Florence,
to move up the river on the North
side, while tlie General himself, with
about 350 covnlry, of Hannan’s Regi..
tnent and Moreland’s Battalion, pro*
ceeded up tho river oh the South side,
to Brown’s Ferry, about 16 miles from
Athens He dismounted his men at
the Ferry, crossed on flat boats and
marched on foot to Athens. Several
hundred men, who were garrisoning
the town, after a slight skirmish, tied,
leaving Roddy in possession of the
town. He captured about thii-iy pris*
oners, pyo'r a hundred horses, and
mules, and a ’considerable quantity of
quartermaster, commissary and sutler
stores, and’ destroyed all the enemy’s
tentq hud Winter.quarters. His men
helped themselves to such stores as
they wanted and could, conveniently,
take off with thorn, but destroyed-only
a part of tho'stores, because tlioy could
not remove them from the buildings,
and could not firo them without risk'
ing the destruction of the town. Rod
dy remained in town about an .hour,
and left, re-crossing the river with- his
prisoners, Horses, &o. His loss is re
ported to be two killed aud fivo wcun
ded—the Yankee loss, -l or. 5 kdied
apd about double as many wounded.
Tho force under Col. Johhsen. reach
ed Bainbridge, on the river, a . few
miles above Florence, and there en
countered the enemy, about 6-or 800
strong, under Col. Phillips, who was in
command at Athens and was out on an
expedition toward Florence. It was
■ understood that some skirmishing- oc'
currod, hut. the result was. not known
by our informants. Col. .Johnson was
how veer, prevented from qo-operating
with Roddy. If he could hayedoneso,
there is little doubt- lh^t the wbolo
garriron at Athens, at the time,.would
have been captured. -*.-.i ■■■
All tilings eonsidered—tho smallness
of liis command, tho dismounting of
cavalry, and matching them 16 miles
on foot to attack a garrison of equal or
greater numbers, and tho. succe*-*' 1
results of tho expedition— 5 ' was a
brilliant affair, and Got* H° dc ly R»d
A .Mammoth Swindle.
.Tho swindles of .this war are carried
on as grand a scale ns the war itaelf—
both exceed anything yet accomplished
in their respective lines. Capt. Decie,
an Englishman, residing near the Moqt*
goraery White Sulphur Springs, ; has
‘u-ccognized” the Confederacy—.done-it
for the handsome figure of.$I,200,000—
and sloped. His operations were sales
of bogus bills of sterling exchange.—
Tlie Lynchburg Virginian gives the fol»
lowing account of this great swindle:
“The bills wore disposed of to various
merchants aiid brokers of Richmond
and othqr. (owns,: and on beingl for-
warded f<5r collection' the startling' jfact -
was brought to -light that they wore
spurious; .They, however, bear the eft*
dorsemeht of the Cashier of the Bank
of the Valley at Christianburg, which
indemnifies tho holders froiii loss, but
will ruin tho Bank. Tho Cashier had
such assurances as to make him per
fectly confident of his safety 3n the
transactions, but It turna out that they
were delusive. Among those who
vouched for liis responsibility ,. w*-hekr
(he namos of gentleman in high station
connected with tho Government.
“Depio, we believe claims.to h® M
officer .in the Royal Navy, and, we un*
derstand, had some connection with
our Government. He Jins been resi
ding for a year or two in Montgomery,
where ho owns a plantation, and bos
recently had. erected a splendid resi
dence. A great deal' of hi3 time,.how
ever, was spent in Richmond, where ho
lived in princely-stylo, paying as much
as one hundred* and forty dollars a
day at tho hotelJ, besides taking his
meals at the restaurants. His extrava'
gance seemed to have no bounds; .Wlo
hear thenamibs of>jW?idsv)torth, Palmer
A Co., Samuel Harrison, and -Fos
ter, a bro'aer. of Richmond, os among
the victimized. Parties in Wilmington
also suffered. Peoie • is supposed to
havo gone to England. Ho left fifteen
or twenty negroes,iform, furniture, etc.,
which have been attached for the ben-
fit of the sufferers. OtherTaots will no
doubt be developed of this mammoth
