War is, indeed, sod 10 its mildest form, s greet oslsmity ; sod no notion or people should engsge in it, unless for the grsreet end moet potent res •one. The people of the Confederate Stetee here felt and acknowledged this great truth, and hare sought, by all honorable means, to avoid the present war, to which ther are, unwillingly, en gaged. We say unwillingly, because it is not a war of their choice; and they would bare infin itely preferred peace, if they could hare obtained an honorable peace; but failing in this, and driven to the terrible alternative, they have not hesitated to enter .he c mtesi, and to "Strike for their aitars and the'.- S.-ea. For the green graves of their s res. God and tbei l native .ana. And neither will they .cease thus to strike, until they hire driven the enemy from their soil and achieved their independence. But to do this, they must pat forth everr energy thit they po* se«*B, and resolve to sisnfiie everything, save honor, for the great cause in which they are en» gaged. They must forego ali ho >es of a short war, and prepare, rather, fjr* long aod bloody struggle, with cruel but determined foes. And, banishing all ideas of foreign intervention, they must look to their own stout hearts and strong arms for their political redemption. The New York Times, in*a recent editorial, has declared that this war shall never cease until one party or the other is whipped and forced to sue for peace from the other. This is, we believe, the spirit which actuates the people of the North. Tney caooot atf>rd to lose their rich possessions j of the Southern Confederacy; they cannot afford to lose the honor and the profit, which this sec** tion has given to them, as a part of the United States; and they cannot, in their pride and self conceit, willingly permit the South to become an independent nation. With this feeling aud this dogged determina’ion, they will resort to any measure, any cruelty, any oppression, to secure tne glittering prize which has slipped from their grasp. how are we to meet this Vandal spirit? Not with a like spirit of demoniac hate aud fury; but with a like spirit of dogged determination, and a wise measure of retaliation for ail crimes com muted against the laws and usages of civilized nations and warlare, by our cruel and unsjtupu* lous foes. Emancipation proclamations must be met by such penal lies as wll render them null and void ; and any attempt to enforce them upon our sod, dangerous and latal to the tools who engage in the attempt. Threats.of retaliation by our Gov ernment have already forced the enemy to aban don many of his cruelties; and we hope that mere threats may still have the same effect; but it they do not, tbe Executive of the nation will not hesitate to employ all tbe powar at his com mand to compel a just observance of right and justice on the part of the enemy. Our coasts must be guarded and defended at all hazards, as It is absolutely necessary that we should have one or more ports in our possession, to which vessels may enter from abroad and bring us supplies of clothing, arms, and ammunition. And not only for this reason, bat for the reasons afforded us by the fall of New Orleans, should we prefer to have our cities laid id ashes, rather than surrender them to future Butlers, Mitchells, and Phelps. *But if, unfortunately, some of them should fall into the hands of the enemy, his vie tory should be rendered an empty bubble and bis conrpiest a barren waste, and any attempt on his part to penetrate the country beyond the reach of his gunboats should be met by a stern and un- yielding re istance. The winter is approaching, when our water courses will be full, and the enemy’s gunboats will be able to render them efficient service. This may enable them to capture a few defenceless cities ana towns, and prevent our troops from following up great and important victories; but should these things discourage a brave and independent peon pie? I>id not the reverses of the past winter teach us the wholesome lesson, that *• Tla wiser ami better Never give up, than once to Jf -pair'V that, with proper exertions and a determined spirit, we can, at least, keep the enemy at bay, until more propitious seasons smile upon our vic torious arms ? We should, then, be prepared to expect reverses. It is not in the order of war that successes should be unbroken by defeats; and we must expect a small share of them, at leas' ; but wuen they do come, let them be only as incentives to renewed and greater exertions on our part. Repining and reflecting upon them will not mend the disasters, hut will serve only to make them worse. While hoping, then, that we may be spared the infliction ot disasters, let 11s prepare 10 meet them bravelv, and even cheerfuilv, and turn them to good account, as wc did the full of New Orleans und of Memphis. Id short, what we want, to ensure success in our present struggle, is an enlarged spirit of true pa triotism—a virtuous patriotism—a brave and lib eral patriotism. There should he no Bby locks iu trade and Harpies on the wants of the people to disgrace our country and sacrifice our cause. Hut all uuited in the firm resolve to sacrifice every thing, rather than submit to Yankee dominion putting forth all the euergies which God has giv en us iu behalf of our cause- streng'hening the ! hands of the Government in men and money— clothing our Boldiers—feeding the poor—lending a helping hand to each other in all our trials and troubles—we must and will be free. This is the history and philosophy of war—it is a terrible scourge ; but to a virtuous people it must and will bring freedom and honor. It brought these things to our forefathers; it will biiug them to us, if we follow their bright example. And follow ing this course, we must drive our enemies to an acknowledgment of our independence sooner tbau they anticipate, and, at the same time, secure tor our young Confederacy an honorable place among the nations of the earth. War Debt or tub North.— The N. Y. Herald of the 30th, in an editorial upon Northern finances, says: ••During the war with Napoleon the English debt increased trorn one to eight hundred millions of pounds sterling, and the outlay of the G >vern* ment was about tour thousand millions of d tliars. Our war debt is already two thousand millions, and in two years more may rival that of England Thus we a**e crowding into a tew years the expen ditures of a quarter of a century When this war ceases the collapse will be tearful. The machinery of business will be again jarred out of kelter, as it was when the war began; but much more dis astrously, as we have more steam on and are going at a more violent rate. The crisis of 1887 will be child’s play compared to that which will follow the end of this war, unless our financial framers are more fortunate than formerly.” OtrNxw Commissionkr. —The “distinguished American,” reported to have beeu sent to Europe as the representative of our Government, is said te be the Commander Maury, formerly of the Ob servatory at Washington. CharUston Courier, Oct. 16. We are permitted to publish tbe following in* teresting letter from a young soldier in Kentucky. It gives a detailed account of the march of Bragg's *»rmy into tbe State, and will be read with io«* terest; Camp near Babdstown, Kv., Sept. 29, 1862. /)«»* Mother : I wrote you a brief note a day or two ag% bui so unsatisfactory to myself that I avail myself ol ibis opportunity of writing in de*< tail: We left camp near tbe “B g Springs,'’ Tennes see, ,on Sa’urday, the 30th, and. marching about twelve miles, camped for tbe night. We set out early on the following morning, and marched 16 miles; which brought us to “Smith's Cross Roads,” a ebon distance from the foot of Waal dron’s Ridge. On Monday morning, we commenced the as cent of this mountain, the top of which we gamed about Bor 9 o’clock at night. At 5 o'clock, Tues. day morning, we took up the line of march down the mountain. We accomplished this, and found a camping place for the night at about 7 o’clock, P. M. The ascent of the mountain referred to above was veiy difficult, indeed; both to the*men, as well as to the wagon train. A considerable distance up the mountain having been accom plished brings one to a point where a view of a jSkO&t beautiful valley is afforded. The scenery is, indeed, very pleasing, or I should say would be pleasing to one on a pleasure excursion. Soldiers, wearied by long and fatiguing marches, cannot appreciate those scenes, however. On Wednesday, the 3d September, we started i up the Cumberland Mountains, having passed | through Pikeviile at its base. We had hardly ’ g me a quarter >f a mile up the in /untaio, when I 1 saw Captain Gumming, of General Jacxeon’s staff', ride up to the Genera:, who was in front, and an' i uounce some news which, f at once concluded, 1 was not discouraging, as Major Merino gave a ] hearty che*r. In a lew moments, Lieut. Ja.k non, Capt Barrett, and Capt Gumming came rid j \.id down the lines aonouDCing tbe great victory ■j achieved by “Stonewall” Jackson over Pope and ' McClellan. Regiment alter regiment made the I welkin ring wiih heart? cheers lor the g’orious old hero. This good news gave us new lives, it seemed. We travelled over ibe Cumberland Mountains without much fatigue—making that ' day about twenty>two or twenty-three miles— camping at Battle Creek A short march biought us to Sparta—a c»n« siderable little town situated on the Cuskiliar River. Leaving this town, we inarched about ; twenty miles, camped, and cooked rations. Dur ing the next two day?, we passed Bunker’s Hill and Gainsboro’, arriving at the Cumberland River, where it is fordable, at about six o’clock, P. M. We crossed, and Camped on tbe Eastern <bank* for the right. About 3 o’clock the following morning, we commenced the march again. About two miles from the Cumber land Fold, we hailed to fill our canteens with water. Here we t »und a spring—a real curiosity. The water, gushing forth in a bold stream, from a large rock, alter passing through a trough about ten feet in length, enters the ground, luroing a mill at that point, and is again visible only at the lord of the river. On tne 10th of Sep ember we passed through Touipkinsville, Kv.; I2tb, passed Glasgow, a very pretiy town, exceeded in its good looks only by the exquisite beauty of its fair ones. These fair Kemuckians, once more in the unrestrained en joyment of their liberty, greeted our advent into their State by their bewitching smiles, aud the display of their C< nlederate banners. We camped about two or three miles from Glasgow, uutil Monday, the 15th inst., when we agaiu took up the tine of march. We camped at night near a church, aud early next morning set out. marching until about 10 o’clock. P. M , when we baited aud formed a line of battle in front of the enemy’s for tifications. The line being formed, aud the position for our artillery being chosen, we stacked Irms, and retired lor the night, expecting to open upon the Yank *a in the morning, at early dawn. I slept as soundiv aud sweetly as if I had been at home, and woke up in the morning as General Jackson announced to Maj >r Cox, that there would j be no tight, the enemy having surrendered. The j force ot the enemy was, 1 believe, 4,200 or 4,300. i There w«*r«* several pieces of cannon, besides muß | kets ol improved pattern, and a large amount of ! Commissary and Quartet master's stores, captured. i 1 should state, howerer, that, ou Suuday, tne 14 h wist, Genera! Chalmers, of Withers’ division, at* j lacked the enemy with his brigade, but did uot accomplish much—bis force being too weak.

On Fniay night, the l'.Hh lUf't, we left the latter p aces, and reached this place on the 22d ins'., having passed through Hodgeusntle and New llaveu on tne route. The la dies ut all these plac s welcomed us with that degree of animation and feeling wuicu always actuates those who desire t > he released from the oppressive yoke of a tvranicaf despi.t. As we were entering Hurdstown, I thought we wouid certainly get into an engagement, us ihe cavalry reported skirmishing going ou between a part ol our cavalry and the enemy’s cavalry and infantry forces, about 8 miles beyond the town. Suffice it to say I was disappointed We are now encamp - ed ou the “Hurdstown Pair Grounds”—having been here, today, oue wetk Bung on duty to day as “Sergeau' of he Guild,’ 1 I cannot, for want of time and space, enter as lully into a de* tat ed account of our marc o-s as I shoo'd wish I have tried to give you s in* faint idea us to what we have been doing and wbeie we are.

We have one thousand five hundred prisoners at Corinth aod three hundred on the Hatchie river, and more constantly coming in. We have taken several thousand stand of arms, thrown away by the rebels in their U ght. They are mostly new and of English make. Our loss, it is believed, will be three hundred killed and one thousand wounded. Many houses in the town were badly shattered by shot and shell.
