The Effect of llookei;** Ifeit •: the North—Efforts at ton to Conceal the DiiatM iEc Stupidity of Hookei-ltie Pla.sa Truth of the Battlei. • The New York World has a jcitU.trijf ;f --view of the record of the Lister, . i the week’s fighting od the Rappahariu.. , i it is severe but just, and is at once comprehensive, and accurate, neither in cumbered with useless and unintelligible details nor omitting anything of fact or comment needful to convey to the reader a perfect idea of the plan, attempted execu tion and failure of Hooker’s movements. — The World says : Unless ail the indications are deceptive the Administration is again in a panic re specting the safety of the capital its nn reasoniDg elevation and hopefulness ha« been followed by an equally uncalled Tor depression. The proof of this state of feel ing is to be found in the reassuring tele grams from official sources which come over the wires, aud the statement over Secretary Stanton’s own signature that General Hook er is about to resume the offensive from an other base. Now it is very clear that Gen eral Hooker is not going to do any such thing j unless, indeed, it is his deliberate intention to hand over his army to the safe keeping of the Confederate leader, Gen. Lee. The Army of the Potomac is compos ed of men like ail other armies, and it is not in human nature to endure disappointment i of its hopes, defeat and suffering without loss of confidence and heart. If Gen. Hook er’s name had been their commander in a number of brilliant victories and his men had profound faith in him, a defeat like that which he has just suffered might have left the troops ready for another forward move ment—nay, they might even be eager to re trieve their lost laurels; but .as it is, they would be more than men if they were fit for a forward campaign against a victorious enemy, which they know are numerous, da ring, and skillfully handled. Stanton’s news is evidently intended for Lee ) but as that General is not exactly a fool, it will not stop bis forward movement, but will rather hasteu it—that is if it is any part of his intention to seriously move against Washington. We entertain no fears for the capital. True, anything in the way of a disaster is possible with our present ru lers , but eveu their inefficiency is not equal to the loss of W ashington. In view of the pleasiug delusions which the administration is now endeavoring to prupagate, it would be well perhaps to out line some of the leading facts in this short, campaign, from which the reader can draw his own moral : 1. It is not true that Lee was surprised or deceived by Hooker’s movement across the Rappahannock. From the Richmond papers of last Saturday it is clear that the Couleder ate military leaders understood it perfectly, aud deliberately allowed our army to cro-. , confident of their ability to defeat if not de stroy it. Forney, in the Philadelphia Prez. states that Hooker was induced to cross b , the assurance of his spies and scouts that the only army to oppose him was one ol forty thousand under Jackson, Lee being sick and his army scattered. The 'Baltimore secessionists had the same report and be lieved it. Gen Hooker, therefore, at the very start, was the deceived party, and walked straight into the trap that was pre pared for him. 2. The great cavalry raid, which was an entire success, did Gen. Hooker no good, because it did not procede, instead of accom panying his movements. Lee’s reinforce ments had all arrived, before the destruc tion of the railroads and bridges. To him this is now only a temporary inconven ience. Had Hooker retained his cavalry with his army, it would have been far bet ter for him. He would have captured sev eral thousand more prisoners when Freder icksburg was taken, and, more than all, could have prevented Jackson’s surprise of his flank and rear. They might have changed the complection of tie fight. 3. General Hooker’s division of his army was as disastrous in this instance, as have been all such in former military history.— It is known that Gen. Halleek utterly dis approved of this dispersion of the Union for ces, and the result proved that in this case, at least, he was right. If Lee had furuisb ed Hooker with a plan, it could not been more to his liking. He first hurled all his forces upon Hooker and beat him ; this was on Saturday and Sunday, and then on Monday, he repossessed the heights of Fredericksburg, and drove Sedgwick across the river, with the loss of one-third of his force. Thus Lee, with one great army, beat two simaller armies in detail. 4. The battles of Saturday and Sunday were indisputable rebel' victories, as the enemy’s attack upon Sedgwick on Monday proved. The latter was defeated almost before Hooker’e eyes, and the latter could not even make a diversion to save him. — Lee and Jackson drove our array steadily from point to point until it was crowded back upon the south bank of the river.— Our artillery—which, according to the rebel accounts was splendidly served— no doubt saved what remained of the army. 5. The retreat across the river, according to Lee’s dispatch to Jeff Davis, commenced on Sunday night, aud was in consequence of his signal victory. The Administration’s statement is that it was commenced on Tues day night, simply as a matter of precaution on account of the storm and rising stream. Lee’s account hag all the known facts and the probabilities on its side. The U nion correspondents all agree that the stores and * 1 •* moved to the north bank on i »iiJiy, ! aving nothing but the artillery uud infantry t-» cross on Tuesday. The tierce r:torm cu that day probably saved the -uiL od oiii army which was passed over at ni^hf H « H v ker’s statement of his losses -L a.: ii made by Gen. Wadsworth. Ho <r ! i;■ :< aj loss in killed, woundedand "O ' in i- be more than ten thousand be true, there are several cir 'bit need explaining badly.— > -i vrick alone, all the accounts agi e, : ii * to third his force, or about six thousand !■ But call it five thousand. The capture of Fredericksburg, and the storming of the hGgLts in its rear on Sun day, lost us eight hundred men in killed and wounded. This would leave but little over four thousand to have been killed, wounded nod enpfured in the tremendous battles of Saturday and Sunday, when at the very least one hundred and fifty thou sand men met in deadly conflict. If Hook- = er and Lee commanded Chinese armies this might have been possible, but ns they were Americans on both sides it is simply incredi ble. The rout of the Eleventh corps, and the driving back of our whole lines for two days in succession , must, have cost us—we will not say how many men, but certainly more than four thousand. Judging by the other buttles of the war, this fight, ought to have put twenty-five thousand men horn du combat. - General Hooker may be right in ais estimate, but if he is, the fighting on both sides was disgraceful. But the theme is too painful to dwell upon. The whole management of the cam paign shows a painful lack both of capacity and true courage; of mental force and a high sense of houor. Our rulers are alike incapable and unveracious. Things that are wasted. The rule of King Cotton which has pre vailed for the last twenty-five or thirty years, has been not only despotic, but extravagant iu the extreme. As Louis XIX said, “I am the State,” Cotton I said, “I am all.” Not only was every other branch of indus try neglected for the ealtivation of the cot ton field, but everything was permitted to go on to waste which might have been saved. Indeed, the neglect of all industrial enter prises rendered much of this waste unavoid able, materials being allowed to perish be cause there was no provision for making them up into useful forms. The most wholesale waste of which our people have been guilty, is that of the tim ber, which by thousands of acres every ye.ar, has been girdled and suffered to decay on the ground There has been an excuse for this in the inet that the immense area of fresh land, the clearing of which was made necessary by the rapid emigration into the fertile Stales of the Southwest, could be cleared in m> .-tiier way; besides which, it may be admitted that the timber was not lost, being retained to the soil as it decayed. This excuse w uld«be more valid, had not the style, of cultivation been extremely wasteful it >:f--impoverishing the land and requiring rmw clearings to bs constantly made; bn’ ‘ ia no excuse for our people perunttiue involves to be dependant up on import hi for the vast amount of soap eonsum .11 m. It is time that this should cease, bv .ling, piling and burning the timber, ashe- nough could be saved not on ly to supplv ill the wants of country, but to constitute a valuable article of expoit. 0n largo plantations and at country villages and cross-roads, potash manufactories, could be established all over the Confederacy. It is unnecessary to remark that the man ufacture of soap should keep pace with that of potash. The large amount of animal food consumed by our population tells the story of a greit waste of grease which would thus be economized. The tallow of the beeves consumed in the country would furnish all the candles that the country requires. In the absence of stearine manufactories, beeswax, an abundanc of which is annually wasted, could be used to give them a proper hardness, and prac tice would soon render housewives expert in the manufacture of an excellent article rom those materials. It is hardly necessary at present to allude to the waste of hides; we rathar think that tuese are carefully saved everywhere. Had ore care been taken of them formerly, the home manufacture of leather would be a regular business, and the sudden pressure upon it would not have carried prices to such an exorbitant figure. Every discour agement, however, has been thrown in the way of this, as of all other manufactures.— The difficulty of procuring not only hides, but bark, has deterred many a man from undertaking it. In connection with the economizing of timber, the preservation of bark should be strongly enforced upon plant ers. Let this become the general rule, and tanneries would be multiplied througout the interior. Hides and tallow are not the only products of slaughtered animals which should be hus banded. The homes and the bones are too valuable to be neglected. There may be uo manufactories of combs, buttons, cutlery, &e., at present in the Confederate States to consume these, but it is not too boon to save them. We may any week hear—and it is high time we should hear—of such works being established, and when they are, their products will be cheaper the better the sup ply of raw material the manufacturers find accessible to commence on. Deer horn?, which are too rarely preserv ed, should also be taken care of, as we nave known them to be in some instance; a thous- and pair or so having been shipped from Mo bile in one consignment two or three year? a g°q We are so destitute of chemical works that it seems hardly worth while to suggest the saving ot blood—ti e principal material for the manufacture ot Prussian blue—which j from its perishable character, bo?id.*i», can hardly be utilized except in cities, where it can be conveyed immediately to the manu factory. There may be some method of preserving it for trmspomtino, but nochr in ist that we know of, has made any sugges tions on that subject. There are other sub stances however, which are employed *u the manufacture of Prussian blue; every kind of animal material indeed is used for this purpose —such as old leather, woolen, hair, &e. Let such things be thrown aside into some snug corners; they may be called lor. Phosphorus, too, we omitted to remark, is made from nones, and such as are not suita ble formaking buttons and knife handles, can be used for this purpose. The hoofs, scraps of hide and tendonous parts of slaughtered animals are of great importance. Enough of these are ly wasted to furnish all the glue necessary for any purpose short of reconstructing the Uniou. The feathers of fowls should be saved.— Hen’s feathers are uot so valuable, it Istiue, as those of geese, but they are too good to throw nway, and those if not employed filling beds and pillows, could be quilted in to comforts to supply at home the place of the blankets sent to our brave boys in the field. Cotton and linen rags, waste cotton, old bagging and rope, have been wasted to the amount of quite a million dollars a year in the Confederate States. With the preseut high price of paper, there can be no pretence that they are not. worth saving. Every coun try trader should offer a fair equivalent for them, and thus accumulate the savings of his neighborhood, to be disposed of at the nearest paper mill; not as a speculation — that passion for speculation, and contempt for whatever does not yield a large profit, is what kills all useful enterprises here—but to oblige his customers by enabling them to convert into money what without his asis tance, would be lost. Finally, every fragment of wrought or cast iron and old brass should be preserved, and when a sufficient quantity has accumu lated, disposed of. It is but fair, however, that manufacturers should be willing to pay a renumeratiDg price for them. W hen scrap iron was advedised for iu this city last sum mer, many housekeepers collected lots of of a dozen or twenty pounds of what bad . been lying about their premises, but on learn- j ing that only a cent or a half a cent a lb would be paid for it they took no further steps in the matter. Hundreds of pounds might, nave been obtained it those who ad vertised for it would have paid the expense of picking it up and drayage to the wharf. These are a few items which it has oocur ed to us to bring to the notice of our readers, to whom no doubt others will suggest theni j selves, which, if attended to, would prove ■ a direct saving of milloris of dollar? to the 1 country, besides the effect they would have of lowering the of many important ar ticle of consumption. — Mobile Advertiser. How Forrest Bluffed the Yankee Cavalry. A correspondent of the Richmond En quirer, noticing Forrest's late capture of the Yankee freebooters near Rome, says : Taking it for all in all, this feat of Forrest 1 has been the most, brilliant cavalry exploit ;of modern or ancient times. Why’, sirs, be captured sixteen hundred Yankees with feur hundred ; that, too, when every advan -1 tage of equipment and position was on their side. It was accomplished by a bsd buff game, and cool, deliberate courage. No one could have done it so well as Forrest— collected, resolute and stem. He went with aflagoftruce himself. “I have come,” said he to the Yankee esmmander, “to demand your unconditional surrender. I have followed you for five days and night3, fought you all the time, whipped y r »u in every battle, and now I will give you a chance, for I am tired of shedding so much useless blood. I’ve got you in my power, and, if you don’t make the best of my offer, I will not be responsible for the conse quences.” The Yankee officer wished to know who he was and what force he had. “It makes not a d—<l bit of difference who I am,” answered Forrest, “I’ve plenty of men and time to kill or capture the whole of you, and I give you five minutes to make up your mind.” “Then,” replied the Yankee, “I shall not comply.” Forrest turned his horses’ head, and quietly remarked, as he rode away, “Y'our blood be on your own hands,then,for I’ve done all I could ' As he a point some hundred yards distant, ho was called back. “I believe I’ll surren der,” says the Yankee, “provided you’ll play fair with me.” “Very well,” says Forrest, “draw up your men iu line and sack your arms.” He then turned to an aid aud gave sev eral orders to imaginary troops, and less than half an hour sixteen hundred inen were captive to less than oue fourth their own number. This is the rough, brief story. It ought to make Forrest a Major Gcuerul. He should be appointed to the vacancy created by the death of Vm Dorn. Vigilant, ac tive, industrious, daring and experienced, no man would give more universal satisfac tion. VOLUME XIJ-NO. 10. F«rslio Syriip-Oroutul \%%i OM EwiorSq.
