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.

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. ■ A terrible fight occorrod in Memphis recently, be tween a negro and white regiment.

He captured ten battle flags, and 280 prisoners.

The other, that no disater or misfortune ia irreparable when energy and bra very are displayed in a determination to recover what has been lost, and promptly assume the offensive.

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. advertisements.
