TSX CHBONIOLX& SENTINEL, OF AUGUSTA-
We regret to be compelled to say anything dis
paraging to the Southern press, but we cannot,
nor can a discriminating public shut their eyes to
the glaring defects of the %bore named journal. It
ohronides, with apparent great gusto, evertblhg
that tends to excite a desiro for submission to the
Yankees. In the number before us, (the 9tbj in
its “subjugation’ 1 article, we can discover nothing
but an under current of submission. If we un*
* derstand that article, it is designed to persuade
the people of the South, that the evils of sub
jugation are “exaggerated” by the loyal press—
that they have no serious danger to apprehend
from submission, and that a portion of the South*
ern press is working upon the fears of the people te
deter them from seeking peace and re-union with
the enemy. We cannot help thinking that the
latter part of this article, defining “the fair terms'*
upon which peace might be consummated,' was an
after thougth, designed to break the force of for
mer reasoning on the side of the enemy, or to
qualify what would otherwise would beet* con
sidered favorable to unconditional submission.
In character with this latter policy, is the edi
tor's obvious endorsement of the action of a* Wil
mington meeting, extracted from a Charleston,
Yankee paper, at which Mayor John Dawson
presided, whose truckulent soul, quaking in fear
of his subjugator, advised “all to forget the putt,
and henceforth endeavor to seenre peaoe and
promote the prosperity of the couotry.” The
fifth resolution of that meeting “urges the State of
North Carolina to yeild to the fortunes of war,
and return to the U. S. Government, il whe\ \ the
masses of her people always wished her tot*? * tl . •
The Chronicle ds Sentinel cepies these, resolu*.
lions approvingly, as, indeed, it has seemed to us
to approve every movement looking to “a return
t o the United States Government.” If this be
the wish of its editor, we would respectfully sug
gest that he have permission to go there, and that
he be urgently solicited to do so, as the tone of
his articles are not of a healthy Southern charac
ter. He evidently is either whipped, or has nevar
been a strenuous frb nd of Southern independence.
In either case, his absence would be a relief to
those who are struggling honestly to maintain the
rights and honor of the South. Should the ene*
my ever get possession of Augusta, the Chronicle
&. Sentinel could pioperly claim protection for
itself, u<* it has nor, to our knowledge, said any
thing to which our foes could justly take excep
tion, but it would be impotent to screen more
IcyaJ men from Yankee vengence. Fortunately
lot that press, it exists in a section where the
largest latitude of opinion is tolerated—but for*
bearance may cease to become a virtue.
Visit to £en«ral Lee’* Army—Spirit of the
TROOPS.
The editor of the Milton Chronicle gives fin inter*
eating report of a recent visit to the 13th Regiment
North Carolina Troops, stationed on the front lines
at Fe.er-iourg. He says that he found the “boys”
in comfortable quarters, good spirits and ready for
tiie fight whenever <he enemy chooses to attack.—
They feel confident of victory. There had been some
desertions* from the Brigade, a few only from the
13th, lvss, indeed, than from any other regiment in
the aimy, These desertions are attributed to home
influences—principally to croaking letters. “We
heard no croaking in the army—no complaints—no
despondency. It was a healthy atmosphere; we
breathed easy while in it, and felt all over like a *new
man.' For several days before we left we heard of
no Di*w desertions, and it was hoped that the army
was purged of all cowards. Desertion is a bad bust*
ness, and about the meanest thing a roan can be
guilty of. Yankees who desert and come over to
our lines express much astonishment at Southern
men deserting their colars; they say that we have
everything worth living for to fight for, while they
(the Yankees) have no such inducement. They say
our men that go over are well treated for the first
few days, so as to get them to write home and teU
about their good treatment; but after that they are
despised and treated worse than dogs. The liberty
of enlisting in »he army on the frontier is allowed
them or go into the prisoners lock-up if they refuse.
Tn.» Yankees have the greatest poDterapt for a rebel
deserter, nd put no confidence in him whatever.
K °g rA. Pryo-, who was recently exchanged, says
that at Fortress Monroe, while he stood talking to
some Yankee officers oi high rank, a rebel lieuten
•tot (a deserter) came up to the party and joined in
conversation, when one of the officers quickly shut
his mouth with a look «>f great oontempt and the
remark, -You and -d deserting scoundrel,l have
you the impudence to open your mouth where gen
tl men are talking!” The follow sneaked off, look
-1 g wo se than a sheep thief.

P L TRYING TIMER -
If we were to enumerate the prase of the
South sternly end resolutely devoted to the Inter
este of independence, at this time, we might de
press public ooofidehce in the ultimate success ol
our cause. But we do not ip tend .to make invid
ious comparisons. Suffice It to eay, that the
journal which persistently urges e prosecution of
the war to an unmistakable recognition of South
ern Independence, is the only one worthy of pop
ular esteem. These are times which try every
men's Integrity, and It requires no stretch of im
agination to determine that those who are not,
heart and eoul, for us, are against os. Such w i
esteem to be the character of the press which, ir
the slightest degree, |>aliates the enormities ©
1 ankee aggression upou Southern rights. Oure is
epurely defensive warfare, and whoever aggresses
upon os is a common enemy, and the paliators ot
hie aggressions are enemies too. There are such
in our midst. There are presses whose editors
have more words of apology for the enemy than
of enoooragemeot for our friends. This is jrrong
-end ought not to be tolerated.
The times ere trying oneß. Every man is ex
pected to discharge hie duty—not sg a partisan
or demagogue, bet as a self-sacrificing hero—a
devoted Southernlndependence suua, estlmatfag
country and honor above all other considerations.
There are Aut few of this class es journalists,
and at they are very'obnoxious to the enemy, eo
should they'be particularly deer to the friends of
Southern independence. There is, we venture to
assert, no editor in the State of Georgia who has
made greater personal sacrifices, in proportion to
hie means, for Southern success, than we have
done, and just in proportion to our sacrifice is
our intense devotion to the cause. The enemies
of Georgia have attempted to place her in a false
position, and propogate the idea that she favored
reconstruction. A portion of the presa of Georgia
fostered this erroneous idea. It becomes us,
then, to oppose ' the sentiment, to 'disclaim tb*
approbriuro, and to assert that, in this trying
time, no honest exponent of genuine Georgia
sentiment is in favor of a reconstruction of the
old Union upon any terms. We take this posi
tion, and assert positively that the man or Editor
who is willing to go back into the Federal Union,
having honestly withdrawn from it from consci
entious motives, is a traitor, a coward, and un
worthy the respect of honorable men. We make
this pointed declaration, because we think we dis
cover a truckulent, backing out spirit in some
who'ought to be ashamed of their truckuleney.
These are trying times, and we desire that
every man should present himself to the public
iu true oolors. * AH he is, end all he has, belongs
to his country, if he is the true friend of that
ooimtry; if he is its enemy, let him thank God
for an escape from the gallows!
' It is the custom of the Yankee newspapers to
boast of the immense power displayed by their
Government, and the unequalled prowess exhibit
ed by their people in the pending war. There was
never anything like either in the history of the
world, if we take their word for it! They take no
account of the power and prowess exerted on our
side, in making successful resistance to their vast
ly preponderating numbers and means. They ad
mit no equality with themselves in any of the ex
isting great powers of the earth, and boldly assume
that &U the military glory of ancient or modern
nations pales before their own. And this pom*
pousiy and fraudulently assumed credit they faney
attaches to the*Yankee race. It is “we” and
“our” and “us” all the time with these vainglorious
and bloated creatures. They -resolutely shut their
eyes to the fact that their Government is operating
upon fictitious capital, and is bankrupt whenever
it shall be called tQ a reckoning—that it is not
Yankee means that has prepared and maintait a
their immense war outfit, but a spurious credi ,
which, sooner or later, will fail aod leave their
Government without a dollar, and its millious of
victims,on both sides of the Atlantic without the
shadow of remedy. If they had been compelled
to operate on the actual oapital, furnished by them
selves, this war would not have lasted twelve
months. By means of thimble-rigging and Jere
my-Diddling upon a mammoth scale they, hava
contrived to keep up till the present time; but
the very devioes they have practiced will make
their ruin more overwhelming and irretrievable
when it comes. If our'hop>*s h and oe#-n, in the be
ginning, to utterly'destroy our enems, we might
well felicitate ourselves that affqra had progressed
so steadily in a direction that ensures the compleet
ness of their final downfall.
But the gw&gger abour the powers of the Yan
kee race is stiU more ridiculous. How Yankees
proper fight,- the world saw at Bethel and first Ma
nassas. The conclusion of European spectators, as
made known to us through the London Times, was
that fighting was not their vocation. Their per
formances in this respect were the laughing-stock
-of mankind. Na civilised people oyer made so
ridiculous and disgraceful an exhibition of them*
selves as they did, until they got assistance from
other races. They outnumbered us three or four
to one, but they were afraid to continue the con*
test without help; and so they commenced vigor
ously beating up reeruits among people better suit
ed to war than themselves. They entrapped and
bought into their service mercenaries of every
tongue, and summoned to the banquet of blood
the banditti of ail lauds. Not satisfied with this
and still uncertain of their ability to cope witli us,
they commenced kidnapping our own slaves and
forcing them to join in this general crusade against
us. As far back as two years ago, we saw an au
thentic statement indignantly asserting that the
foreigners in their ranks did oot exceed two-thirds;
and more recently Lincoln himself, has stated that
the negroes iu their service numbered two hun*
dred thousand, and that it would be impossible to
carry on the war without their help. But reading
the Yankee newspapers, and seeing the disgusting
self glorification in which they indulge, one would
Imagine that alt their legions were made up of gen
nine descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers, and
might expect to hear nothing but the nasal whine
of the Down Easter from one end of their lines to
the other.
" The fact is, the presence of the genuine blue
bellied Yankee in the war is very rare. The
troops from the West, their best fighting stock,
are the descendants, to & very large degree, of
emigrants from the slave States, and the parrifc *
dal hands they raise against Virginia, North and
Bootb Carolina tud Georgia should bo emitter
with paralysis. Cowardice and oupidity have uni- i
ted to keep the original Yankee out of the war.:
He has no soul for “the rapture of the strife,” but
a hungering and thirsting for the shoddy gains to
be acquired by remaining at home. .
But it is the Yankee raee, nevertheless, that is
trumpeted to the world as being engaged in the
performance of feats of war that surpass all Ro
man or Grecian fame, and that is to go down in
history, Yankee history at least, as the bravest of
the brave! As not without interest in the matter,
we might fee! called on to protest against tho
monstrous pretens on, but for a conviction that
the final issue of the contest will be such as to de
prive the question of importance, since the world
is not apt to award a large degree of military j
credit to a beaten party, and never troubles itself
with inquiries into the martial qualities of those i
who are defeated. —Rianond March 21th. ■

LATEST FROM MONTGOMERY EVACUA
TION OF THE CITY!
Montgomery, April 11. —Qur .forces evecuated
Montgomery last night. The Federal* are expect
ed to occupy it to-day. Some fighting yesterday
below Beaton ia whioh our forces were driven
back. " / • : Rumor.
The Kinston Fight.
Fortunately for the truth, or what ia Dearer the
truth, than Schofield'* dispatch, a correspondent
of the New York Herald writes a fuller account
us the affair:
My last ad rices were from the front, at Kin
ston, yesterday morning early. The latest I was
then able to communicate concerning movement*
in the field was up to Friday afternoon, the 10th.
Some of the heaviest fighting there has been since
the corps commanded bv Gen. Cox reached rhe
vicinity of Kinston, occurred on Friday.
The rebels had evidently learned that General
Couch, with a portion cf the Twenty third corpg,
waa not far off, and would soon join Cox; and it
urged them to extraordinary desperation. They
charged agaig and again upon our works, making
ten or a dozen different charges through the day.
Generally they spent their fury upon the left, but
some of the time they would charge upon the en
tire line, vainly hoping that the momentum of so
large a body would break down everything.
Fnday night and Saturday morning Couch's
forces came up from Wilmington, and effected a
junction with Cox, whioh gave us an advantage,
of course, of which the rebels were not slow to
become informed. So they at opce began’ to fall
back, abandoning all other opposition this side of
the Neuse river, and they are now on the north
side of the Neuse river, with the bridge that cross
es over into Kinston partially burned.
