and frau. no compulsiOn of the enemy." The
Rignnond •Exaxiiner is crying for blood, and
denounces the weakness of Jeff. Davis in not
promptly hanging Union persons by way of
retaliation. It says :
- "Mr: President Davis' proclamations and
pronunciamientos, his horrible- threatenings
and, gloomy appeals, have been so ' often re
peitte43 that they are the sneer of the world.
But never have they resulted in one solitary
performance. - He is very obstinate, very bit
ter; when Jae gets z into a, quarrel' with some
'Southern officer over 'wham the law gives
him temporary Control. He is very firm in
deed In maintaining a minion or a measure
against the smothered indignation of a people
who are compelled by their prdent unfortu
nate•situatiou to support silently a great deal
from their officials. But when ,his duty
brings him. into contact with the enemy he is
gentle as the sucking dove.
" 31 i . ;Stephens Was sent to Waili..-
' ingfon with a letter of credence - to Lincoln,
' and another of instructions to, himself from
president Davis: A good deal was said in
ilds last letter about titles, cte., which looks

the Confederate Government would be happy

dered Confederate officers in Kentucky, who
feels compassion for them?

Confederacy malice it sorrowful figure in this

The retreat of Lee across the Potomac into
Virginia again was as' unexpected as crush-
Ing to the rebels. It at once blighted all
;k their hopes 'oftransferring war to North.-
/
soil, and! cost them half -of their heft,.
I. •
nrmy.; The Richmond Dispatch, says that
"opinions are various with, regard to the
motives which induced Gen. Lee to withdraw
his artn.y to the Virginia side." Again it says:
That it has had the immediate. effe'et, of
stimulating the war passions of the North,
and enabling Lincoln with the more ease to
recruit his shattered ranks, can hardly be
'dOied. But it must be recollected that this
was the consequence, not of the expedition
itself, but of the withdrawal of the troops,
and, has not therefore the slightest bearing
upon the wisdom of the measure: Had Gen.
Lee destroyed the env of : n eade, as there
Was every reason to hope, we should then. have
seen how fatal was the blow he had struck.
" Ile failed to accomplish his object ; but
failure in execution implies no want of judg
ment in the conception, unless the means
should be ridiculously small. They were not
so in this ease. Gen. Lee believed them to
be. ample." .
The Richmond Examiner says :
"Gen. Lee has re-crossed the Potomac.
With this announcement, it is supposed, the
second invasion of the United States is at an
end.' The Government and its chir;f General
' - inidertook this campaign on their own re
sponsibility, and at their own time. Public
opinion did not impel their action. ,But
public opinion did most certainly justify, ap
prove, and adopt it. Although it' hasSbeen
abruptly terminated : by an unsuccessful bat
tle, we are far from thinking that the design
was injudicious.
"This war, can be terminated only by such
a measure. It might have been glorionsly
terminated in a month had Gettysburg wit
nessed the annihilation of the Union army
of the Potomac. But that battle was fought
in a position which rendered success impossi
ble. Why it was fought is yet - unknown."
The-Montgomery Advertiser' gives a:dole
ful account vf rebel prospects in Tennessee.
It says 13ragg's retreat from 'Tullahoma is
"much to be regretted," and that it " will
hope a very injurious effect, not merely on
the people, but on the troops, particularly
_ those from-Tennessee," a number of whose
troops, it says ‘.‘have already deserted." It
thus pictures the results of Braggs retreat
4 6The retreat from: Tennessee opens the
northern counties of Georgia-and Alabama
to the incursiOns_of the enemy. - In our own
- State the Tennesseavalley will be desolated,
and raiding partieS will penetrate the Coun
ties lying between ".`the Tennessee and the
Alabama, and east of the Higbee rivers.
This Will bring the enemy to our own doors,
and open the way to the rich counties of South
Aluhama. .
Lißut there is another view of this question
widish is important. Vicksburg having fal.
len; Grant has an army of eighty . thousand
men at his disposal: It will be: impossible
for• Gen; Johnston to oppose this army with
any hope of success, and as he retires towards
the Higbee,- which we suppcise• he will do,
Grant - will close on him, and unite his army
with that of Hosecrans. Here, then, will
be an any of one hundred and sixty ,or
seventy thousand men encamped on the soil
of Alabama." -
The Chattanooga -Reba, Vallandightun:s
organ in rebeldom, thus discourses upon the
advantages gained by the retreat of ilragg :
."Among the objects of repining to which
the mind very, nateral reverts in contem
plating the loss - of, Mid le Tennessee, none
forces itself more persistently upon us than
the rich Crops- of grain, which our retreat
threw into the bands of the enemy.
"The crops ofTeiinesse, like the soil and all
else therein, were fair to see. 31any a time
during thelast thiee months have we cast a
hopeful eye upon the teeming acres and their
fruitful promise. Taut luViry,' rather than
absolute want,"'waS th - e main figure •in the
prospect. We saw .with gratification the
energetic industry which was converting a
thousand cotton fields to patches of corn - and
wheatthe far South, and at no time did
we fear starvation or even need.. Hence we'
have not ' regarded the Middle Tennessee
crops—whilst to be , greatly desiredas.abSo
lutely eSsentiatto 4 , ur existence, nor do we at
this time.
"It would be winter:. affectation were we
to deny an extreme.regret at the loss of so
much produce ; bit we can, continue: to do
withoutit ; and," in any event, there is no
use crying over spllled
The attack upon• Charleston ,seems toliave
thrown the rebel Papers into consternation..
They See v the hand-writing, 'upon the wall;
and' confess that the home of treason is proba
bly doomed. Thd Charleston Courier. hopes
to save the eity,l but says its hope may
prove-a delusion,''; that "the capture of our
city, may, Perchance, delight-his (our) bad„
and corzupt'heart." It has dim perceptions .
OT the "last diteh," but, is philosophical
withal. •It says:
"On the snppoition of - the foe's spccess, it
is our duty to avoid incurring -his fiendish
malignity. All Who can be of no service in
the work of defenbeshould betake themselVes
to places of shelter.. And it were well not
to defer removal to a late day. We.may be
compelled to - remain, - or, if we make geed
our escape, circumstances - may 'oblige us• to
leave all our persOnal effects behind."
The Mercury, eo - mmenting on the attack
upon-Morris Island, says :
"It appears to!us to be useless to attempt
to &time from ourselves our situation, By
whose fault 'we get into it, it is vairi , now to
inquire. • The Yankees having gotten pos

there is but one way to save the city of

the advantage is now vith the enemy. '. With
their iron-clads in the water and their men in

The Richmond Enquirer, of the 16th,
Contains a prqchimation by Jeff. Davis,
out, under the ConfeaerateConscription
act, all white men 'between the ages of 18
and 4.5, to serve for three years, under pea
alty of being punished for desertion in case
of disobeying the call. They are offered the
privilege of joining Volunteer organizations
before the enrollment.
The Enquirer in an articlikheaded "Mili
tary Necessity," urges that the only salva
tion of , the Southern Confederacy is in
making a levy cri masse, such as is called for
in this proclamation. The application of
martial law to a country in a state of siege,
the absolute control of all trading, especially
of drink, within militin lines, the abolition
of substitue exemptiofii and foreign protec
tions, the material enlargement of the Presi
dent's power to revise elections of officers, to
make appointments; and to get rid of incom
petent officers. ,We believe that Jeff. is not
expected to wait for a decision of the courts
to ascertain whether such &spode, powers
are constitutional or not!
The New York riots furnish the only faint.
gleam of hope for the despairing traitorsi
They grasp it its sinking men reach fOr straws.
The Enquirer says the news is "cheering to
us, - indeed, because it portends the breaking
flown of the whole structure of Yankee so-.
ciety." It had evidently judged the result
by the cowardly conduct of Gov. Seymour,
forgetting that there ii a national govern
ment, at once letermined and able to enforce
its laws.
The movements of Gen. Grant in the Solith
west have stricken terror into the Very heart
of rebeldom. The fall of Vicksburg, Port
Hudson, Jackson, and the defeat of Price at
Helena, are described by the Richmond Whig
Ea "the most serious disasters that have at-.
tended our arms since the commencement of
the war'..", The, same paper deplores the loss
of Jackson, the c;ipitai of Mississippi. It says:
"The evacuation of Jackson, Miss., left in
the hands of thermieniy the rolling stock of the
New OrleanS,...laeltson and great Northern,
the Mississippi Central and Mississippi and
Tennessee railroads. The motive 'power alone
consists of over forty engines: - The loss is of
incalculable iniportance and is wholly irre
parable. Not:lung - goes well' in the South
west." ,

Since I left youl'have 'traveled something
over two thousand miles, have seen many
strange sights and great curiosities, and: yet
I donbt,whether I have had as interesting a
timetas you poor Pennsylvania Dutch luiye
been enjoying- for the past month.' I hiive

of the Potomac or captured, •but the details
are iniperfect and I can't trust the papers.
You have heard that I left New York for
South Carolina on the 20th of May. After
passing off Charleston on the 23dp and having
a fine vieW of the city, Fort Smith, the block
ading fleet,. &c., we reached Hilton Head on
the 24th, and at once set to work. - The mil
itary post, "Hilton Head," is on the North
ern point of the Island of that name, and is
the headquarters of the' Department of the
South. The soil is a light, dry sand, and
apparently barren, but it is the richest on the
Continent. Except where military opera
tions have destroyed the verdure, trees, plants
and'.shrubbery of all kinds grow in luxurious
profusion, - and for-agricultural purposes on
better soil can be found than that of the Sea
Islands in the vicinity of Port Royal. Al
most any vegetable could be had here as early
as the Middle of April. All the business of
the Department centres at Hilton Head, and
it is therefore quite a lively place, very dif
ferent in appearance:from what it must have
been when, two years ago, the proprietor of
the then only house in the place (now, used
for Quartermaster's and Telegraph offices,)
cold look around and proclaiin himself
"lord of all he surveyed.l" The only and
first-class hotel of the place is doing a large
business, in which; the proprietors are' aided
by a lot of filthy negroes, and abetted by
fleas,"c , reybacks" and bed-bugs, which in
number and voracity; rival those of a Con
federatecamp of long standing. 'The princi
meal, dinner, commences with a course
of "flea soup" and ends with "tlyinidding,'t
at least, after careful examination, I found
mine always contained a large proportion of
'such ingredients as led me to suppose that
they must be named as above. We enjoyed'
these'delicacies at the moderate rate of $2,00
per day.
