The sagacity of General Thomas.--There can be no question that General Thomas saved the army of the Cumberland in the critical battle of Chickamauga. The Georgia papers say that the plan of the battle was determined upon by General Bragg after consultation with General Lee. The plan was literally to destroy our army. It was, to cross the Chickamauga Creek on our left flank, where Thomas's corps was placed, and then force him back upon Crittenden and McCook.

And one there lay beside him, his comrade in the flight; They had been boon companions, and frequently got tight; And side by side they lay there, indulging maudlin dreams, Far from the Libby prison and Richmond on the Jeems! One said: Old feller, tell me, what think you of this war, Made by the boastina rebels, our prosperous peace to mar? Are Lee and Stonewall Jackson such thunderation teams, As to keep us out of Richmun, ole Richmun on the Jeems? Say, do you think that Hooker — they call him “Fighten Joe” -- Who ‘fore the War Committee run down McClellan so-- Will he cross the Rappy-hannick, and carry out his schemes, And take us down to Richmun, upon the river Jeems?
