They began actually to believe their own lies. Beaten in every skirmish, put to the rout in every picket engagement, unable to stand before our men without the assistance of their gunboats and earth-works, they lied themselves into the belief that they were victorious in all their on counters. Even when Lee was carrying all their batteries, and Jackson had completely turned their right flank and rear, they were writing home that they were conquering in all directions. But the tables are now turned. McClellan has effected his "change of position" pretty much as Gates effected his — by the loss of half his Army It is a great pity Gates had not heard of that synonym for a rout, by the bye, for he was as great a humbug in his day as McClellan is in this.

The whole South is clothed in mourning for those who have fallen before the unerring fire of our Union troops Scarce a village, town, or city, but was represented in the one hundred and eighty thousand men who, confident of victory, attacked the army of the Union, to fall in heaps before its murderous guns. Never again can Davis and Lee bring the same fiery and maddened forces against our invincible army. The Philadelphia Inquirer, on the authority of Major General Porter, says the loss on the Confederate side was seventy-five thousand. It very kindly goes on to show why our loss was so great.
