Liar.on. rit the 14th says : ”Our prepara tions at Mobile are about finished. We are new able to meet any force Canby can mar shal to besiege the city. Major Young has thrown provisions enough in to last at least six months. Everything else requisite for a long siege has been sent down by General Taylor, and now taeshipia ready—let the foe come on. He should, however, be met and whipped before he reaches our defenses. Once there, he will commence digging, and in a short time will stand behind works as strong as those thrown up to prevent Johnston from reaching Pemberton at Vicksburg We have brains, earthworks, provisions and men to ho:d the city a long time against a be sieging army. But the history of all sieges is' wei. known. Let Canby be met. if possible, and defeated before he can reach the environs ot Mobile. Grant was very promptly met be yond Big 3:ack. ’Twas the place to defend Vicksburg, and a skillful and popular officer would have been successful there. Let Mis sissippi and Alabama rise to defend the key to the Alabama and Tombibbee rivers aadthe Mobile and Ohio railway. If Canbv is per mitted to sit down behind Mobile and dig, we will experience a great deal of trouble in oust ing him. From Wilmington.— Uantia writes from Augusta, on the 9th, to the Confederacy, that General Bragg retired from Wilmington, with the greater portion of our forces, taking his way along the Wilmington and Weldon rail road. Tbs enemy, in large force, under Scho* field, pursued until opportunity offering, our troops gave hauls, repulsing and inflicting great loss upon them. The enemv then re* tired lit the direction of Wilmington. Hoke 3 brigade was left to defend the rear, but were in such small force that a large body of the enemy, when they made an assault on them, dispersed our forces with severe loss. A considerable force of our men, left to guard the defences,, were captured after being surrounded. The peculiar nature of the exit at Wilmington, made their safe retreat too difficult to succeed. Genera] Forrest, says the Tribune, with his characteristic energy and dispatch, is rapidly putting his military house in order. General Taylor is doing the same thing. If untiring attention to business in every nook and corner of the department, and sleepless watchfulness of the movements of the enemy, can accom plish safety, the people of this State may rest secure. But the peopie should come to the aid ol these leaders and concentrate every en ergy and every available means of defease and offense to strengthen their bands for the im pending conflict. Artful Dodgers. —“ It is notorious-for it is shcfwn by the records of the enrolling officer in Richmond—that there is a large number of persons in tbi3 city holding details and pro tections from Mr. Seddon, which are utterly worthless, so far as there is any legal virtue, or even any decent pretence in them. It would be well if some pages of these records could be officially advertised, so as to exhibit to the people the various inventions heretofore sought out to save ‘prominent citizens ’ from Gamp Lee, and to invite public inquiry into the matter. Notorious speculators have been exempted in Richmond in connection with designated public service that has no ex istence. Auctioneers, who have made their millions in dirty business, have been sent to Camp Lee, and have come out of it with an absolute protection from Mr. Seddon in their breeches pocket ■ a uJ it is an actual tact that mere are men in brokers’ shops in Richmond who have got exemptions to furnish tar for the navy, (what navy ?) as well as Presidents of naval companies, who do not have so much as a canoe afloat, and have been plucked from Camp Lee as ‘brands from the burning.’” We very much fear the' foregoing, from the Examiner, will forcibly apply to other locali ties than Richmond. Corruption stalk3 thro’ the land so badly that its fruits are apparent to everyone. Can we have reform? From Savannah. —A gentleman who left Sa vannah on Tuesday last, says the Augusta Chron icle of the 12th reached here to day. He states that all was ia commotion there in consequence of the prevalence of a report that Sherman’s left and centre had been defeated near the border of North Carolina, and thirty thousand of his army put hors du combat, la consequence of this, he was not allowed to bring any letter* or papers out with him. The excitement was intense when he left. There were but few’w’aite troops to the city. “Loyal Georgians” in New \okk. —Our city, says the Telegraph and Confederate, has the honor of having been represented in a recent meeting of “loyal" Georgians ia the city of New York. H. Everett Russell, of Macon, Ga., offered a resolu tion to the effect that “we desire peace in order that the wandering, houseless, homeiess refugees may return to iheir homes." This fellow, Russell, is a Canadian, and obtained exemption from military service, in this city, by virtue of being a foreigner, and is, in other respects, represented as a worthless vagabond. A venerable legal gentleman of this city, and a widow lady, who keeps a boarding house, would doubtless welcome this “homeiess refugee ’ home : the one that he might pay a certain fee, incurred in obtaining Bis discharge from military service, as a foreigner, and the other, that,he might “.oot certain board bills, which, in the hurry of depar ture, he neglected to settle. . A. W. Stone, chairman of the committee, and a Yankee adventurer, was a practicing lawyer of Atlanta, anterior to and during the first stages of the war. He went north early in the contest, un der the pretext of fitting out a Confederate block ade runner in Europe, and on the faith of which enterprise he “took in” certain citizens es Atlanta to the amount of two hundred thousand dollars— stock sabscribei to his queen of the seas % Such axen are fit representatives es heathen loyal tv to the Northern government. [From*tbe New York Herald.] Tile Certainty of our Triumpii, THE EFFECT OF OUR 3UCCES3 IN SUROPS The absolute certainly of our success is the present feature of our military situation. Do what he may, there is not the least chance that the enemy can change the result. Every possibility of the .military situation leads to the same end—rebel ruin and. national tri umph. No emancipation of the pieces can show any other close for the grand game.— Four developments of the struggle are regar ded as possible. Lee may stand still, concen trate on his present position the forces under Beauregard. Hardee and Bragg, and fight it out in the last ditch style where he is° He may concentrate all the forces in North Car olina at Raleigh, reinforce them with a col umn from his immediate command, and strike at Sherman. He fiaay concentrate his three detached column* at Lynchburg, join them there and endeavor to prolong the struggle at that point, embarrassing us by the necessity of a long line. He may concentrate at Rich mond, and bide his time foran advance down the valley. The first development is the most” probable. Lee is chained to Richmond, as , Prometheus was to his rock. Moral and phys- j leal reasons of the most imperative nature forbid him to give it up. It is his last arse- 1 nal, his last work shop, his last foundry, and j it is the last home and hope of hi* cause. He cannot even risk it to reinforce the troops ia : front of Sherman; for. it-is bad to leave it, ! it would be worse to lose it by force of arms. 1 But if he stays there to make his final fight, let him make it as stubbornly as he will, he must inevitably be beaten, as Grant, Sherman. Sheridan and Schofield close in on his lines, j cut off his supplies and overwhelm him with numbers. This, like all similar operations, is a question of time, If he concentrates near Raleigh a force of sixty, eighty or a hundred thousand men—if he puts his whole-availa- 1 ble farce in front of Sherman—Sherman, re inforced by Schofield, will beat it as sure as the sun shines. Many regard this develop ment as probable, and hold that a largo part of Lee's army is ia readiness to move for this purpose. If Lee goes to Lynehburg he in creases the demoralization 'dUals army and" exposes himseif to ail the chances of an open campaign on anew theatre. Fa that cam paign he will be matched against two of the greatest masters of strategy that have arisen in this age, and there will be against him an overwhelming preponderance of numbers.— Both raasons are also against a movement down the valley and against that toward Sher man. Either would be sufficient. Lee cannot cope with Grant and Sherman if even he had equal force. But the disparity of force is in evitably fatal. The great Napoleon main tained with the utmost positiveness that, though chance, audacity or genius might en able an inferior force to triumph on the field of battle, it was never so in extended strate gic operations. In these, in a whole cam paign, numbers handled with anything like equal skill will always prevail. We may with perfect safety accept that opinion as def inite in the present case^ This absolute certainty of success is due in the greatest measure to our many recent’tri umphs. It would haye been premature to argue 3uch success against all contingencies before we had taken Wilmington and shutout the possibility of foreign assistance, or before it had been demonstrated that Sherman could sweep across South Carolina as easily as he did across Georgia. But now it is seen that there is only Lee to face both our great lead ers, and Fort Fisher, Wilmington, Charleston, Brancbville and Columbia are so many pieces of hand-writing on the wall that tell the ene my's doom. Those victofies have shown us the certainty of our triumph; but what will be their effect in Europe ? What will Napo leon say to these demonstrations of our pow er? What will be their effect in England, where a hostile and venal press has. through four years, attempted to “ write us down, ” and insisted upon the foolish absurdity of supposing that we could succeed? We be lieve that the result will be hardly less than revolution in both countries. In France our victories will announce the doom of that Mex ican empire that Napoleon is committed to. and in England they will cause an immense reaction in public sentimeah Every lie told against us in the last fouryears will help that reaction. What a view it will give of popular government if one so weak as ours has been pictured can put down a rebellion of such an unconquerable and powerful people as Southern sympathizers have declared the rebels to be? And if such a fighting race as those Southern men—so numerous, so spirited, so ably commanded—cannot make head against our power, who can? These are the questions that already float in the Euro pean mind, and that Europe yet cannot an swer. We shall receive a great deal of civility from England and France in the next six months. How the Devil Lost. —TheTollovying is too good to be lost. We clip it from an exchange paper, and respectfully call the attention to it ofcertain persons who feel disposed to spread in the newspaper line: A young man, who actually desired wealth, was visited byhisStatanic majesty, who temp ted him to promise his soul for eaternity if he could be supplied on thi3 earth with all the money he could use. The bargain was con cluded : the devil was to supply the money, and was at last to have the soul, unless the young man could spend more monejf than the devil could furnish. Years passed away : the married man, was extravagant ’in his living, built palaces, speculated widely, lost and gate away fortunes, and :'yet his coffers were al ways full. He turned politician, and bribed his way to power and fame, without reducing his pile of gold. He become a filibuster, and fitted out ships and armies, but his banker honored all his drafts. He went to St. Paul to live, and paid the usual rates of interest for all the money he could borrow; but though the devil made wry face# when he came to pay the bill3, yet they were all paid. One expe dient after another failed : the devil counted the time—only two years—that he must wait for the soul, and mocked the efforts of the de spairing man. One more trial was resolved upon—the man started a newspaper! The devil growled at the bill at the end of the firet quarter, was savage in six months, melanoholy in nine, and broke, dead broke, at the end of the year. So the newspaper went down, but the soul was saved. Preparing to Evacuate. —The special Cin cinnati correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin telegraphed as follows to that journal on the 24th ult: Advices from below indicate grand prepa rations for a three fold movement to occupy Alabama and Mississippi—Thomas, from the North, with a strong mounted force of infant ry, from Vicksburg, via Jackson, and Canby from Pensacola. It is apprehended that if Lee is cempelled to relinquish Richmond, he will fall back on Lynchburg, and thence his way through the mountains, to East Ten nessee or Kentucky. Efforts are making to repair the Virginia and Tennessee railroad to Bristol. It was rumored in'Knoxville last week that a division of his (Lees) army had already appeared in East Tennessee. The expedition now moving from Knoxville is to defeat this movement, and by again des troying the railroad render the transfer of Lee s army west of the mountains impossible. Set Lovesood's Expfriencf with So-d-y P-o n-d-e-r-s, Sut related the story thus : ‘‘George, did you ever see Sicily Burns ? Her dad lives at the Ratii Snaik Springs, to the Georgy line. ,l Yes. a very handsome girl. “Handsome! that wurd don’t kiver the .use : it sounds like callin' good whiskey water, when ye are at Big Spring, and the still house ;en miles off. an’ ifit a rainin’, and ver flask only half full.

She weighs just two hundred and twenty-six pounds, an' stands sixteen hands*high. She never got in an arm cheer in her’life, an' you can lock the top hoep of a churn ur a big dog collar round her waist. Tve seed her jump over the top of a split-bottom cheer, an never show her ankils or catch her dress onto it. She kerried devil enuf about her to fill a four hoss waggin bed, with a skin as white as the inside of a frog stool. cheeks an' lips as red as a pearche's gills in dogwood blossom time ; an sieh a smile !

Well, to tell it at onst, she war a gal all over, from the pint of her toe naiG tu the longest bar on the hiest knob ov her hed—gal all the time, everywhsre—and that ov the cxcitinist kind. Ov course I leaned up to her as close as I dar tu, an’ in spite of long legs, appetite fur whisky, my shurt scrape, and dad’s actin' hoss, she sorter leaned tu me, au' I was begin nin’ to think I wur jist the greatest and com fortabiist man on yearth, not exceptin' Old Buck or Brigham Young, with all his radii cullered, wrinkled whnmin, cradels full of babies, an' his Big Salt Lake thrown in.

Now, mind, Id never hern tell of that truck afore, an’-l be darned es I don’t want it tq bc tlm last—wus nor rifle powder—wus nor perkussion—three times as smart, and hurts wus, heap was. Dura him. Durn all Yankee peddlers, and durn their principils and prac tissij, I say. I wish I had all the sody powder they ever made in his cussed paunch, an’ a slow match fixed tu him, an’ I had a chunk ov fire, the feller what found a peace ov him big* enuf to feed a cockroach ought to be King ov the Sultun’s harem a thousand years for his luck. They aint human, no how. The mint at Filadelfv is thar Heaven: they think their God eats half dimes fur breakfast, hashes the leav ins fur dinner, and swallers a cent an’ a dried appil for supper, seis on a stampin’ machine fur a throne, sleaps on a crib full of half dol lars, and measures men like money, by count. They liaint one ov them got a soal but what kud dance a jig in a kabbage seed, and leave room fur the fiddler. “Well, Sicily she bought a tin box oy the sody frora him, an' hid it away from her folks, a savin it for me. I happen to pass next day; ov cours I stopped to enjoy a look at the tempter, an she wur mity luvin to me—put wun arm around my neck an’ tother wuu whar the circingle goes round a hoss, tuk the inturn on »ae with her left foot,’ and give me a kiss. Says she, ‘Sutty, love, I’ve got somethin’ fur ye, anew seushasun’ —an’ I believed it, fur I begun tu feel it ail ready. My tofts felt like little rainners wur a nibblin at ’em—a cold streak run up and down my back like a lizzard with a turkey hen after him in settin’ time— my heart felt hot and onsatisfied like, an’ then I’d a cut ole Soul’s throat, if she’d hinted at needsissity fur sich an operaslmn. Then she poured ten or twelve blue papers ov the sody inter a big tumbler, and about the same num ber ov white wuns inter tuther tumbler, an ; put nigh onto a pint ov water on both of them, an' stirred ’em both up with a case knife, looking as solemn as a ole jackass in a snow storm, when the fodders all gin out. She hilt wun while she told me to drink tuther. I swallowed it at wun run—tasted salty like, I thot it wur part of the sensashun. But 1 wur mistaken, all ov the cussed infernal sensashun wur tu cum, and it wurn’t long at it, hoss, you'd believe me. Then she gin me tother tumbler, and I sent it after the fust, race-hoss fashion. “In about wun moment an half I thot I’d swallered a thrashin machine in full blast, ur a cupple uv bull dogs, and they had sot inter fitin. I seed that I wur cotched agin—same family dispersition to make cussed fools ov themselves every chance—so I broke for my hoss. I stole a look back, and thar Sicily lay on her back in the porch, a screemin with laf fin, her heels up in the air, a kickin ov ’em together like she wur a tryin tu kick her slip pers off'. But 1 had no time tu look then, and thar wur a of foam from the hous tu the hoss two foot wide and four inches deep— looked like it had been snowin—poppin, an a hissen, an a bilin, like a tub of hot soap suds. I lied gethered a cherry limb as I run, an I lit asstraddle ov my hoss, a whippin an a kickin like mad. This, with the scarey noises I made, (fur I wur a whistliu, an a hissiq, an a sput terin, outer mouth, nose an eyes, like a steam engine,) sot him a rearin and cavortin like he was skeered out of his senses. Well, he went. The foam rolled, and the ole black hoss flew. He just mizzled—scared ni tu death, and so wur I. So we agreed on the pint ov the great est distance in the smallest time. “I aimed for Doctor Goodman’s at the Hiwa3- see Copper Mines, tu get somethin to stop the exploshun in my inarch?.. I met a sercuit rider on his travels towords a fried chicken an a hat full of ball biskits. As I cum a tarin along he hilt up his hands like he wanted to pray for me; but as I preferred physic tu prayer, in my pecooliar situwashun at that time, I jist rolled along. He tuck a skear as I cum ni on tu him, his faith gin out, an he dodged hoss, sad dilbags, an overcoat, inter a thicket jist like you've seed a terkil take water often a log when a tarin big steamboat cums along. As h‘e passed ole man Burns, Sicily hailed him and axed him if he’d met any body in a hurry gwine up the road. The poor man thought perhaps he did and perhaps he didn’t, but he seed a 3ite uv a spook, ur a ghost, uv ole Beel zebub himself, ur the komit, he didn't adzactly know which; but takin all things tugether, an the short time he’d for prepara3hun, he thought he met a crazy, long-legged, shakin Quaker, a 1 fleein from the wrath tu cum, on a black an white spotted h 033, a whippin ov him with big brush, an bed a white beard what cum from ni unto his eye3 to the pummil ov the saddil, and then forked an wAt to his knees, an then drapped*in bunches as big as a crow’s nest tu 1 the ground, an hearn a sound like a rushin ov mity waters, and he war mitily exercised about it enyhow. Well, I guess he wur, and so wur hi3 fat hoss, an war old blackey; wuat exer- i cised ov all ov'em wur I myself. Now. George, all this beard and spots on the hoss, an steam, an fire, an show, an wire tails, is oudacions humbug. It all cum outen my inards, drop pin out of my mouth without any vomitin ur effort, and es it hadn’t I'd a busted into more pieces than thar is aigs in a big catfish. — The Lovegoods are all confounded fools, and j dad aint the wuat or em.
