inly prove disastrous. The Herald, speculating on Sherman's situation and President Davis's late visit to General Hood's army, says: He hopes to scatter Sherman's army for the protection of the communications; to keep Sherman busy in that way for a little while, and then to hurry half of Hood's army away to Lee. He also urged the people to force the return of the immense number of Hood's absentees. None of the absentees will go to Hood. Such as report will be sent to Lee. This is Jeff's last plan to save his capital.--Let Sherman and Grant look out for it. Jeff Davis, when he visits the rebel Army of the Tennessee, always sends a large part of it to some distant point. Take care that he don't send this part to Virginia.

The last sensation card at the North is that both Jeff. Davis and General Lee propose to give up the ship. What must be the gullibility of a people which can swallow such a dose as that without winking! The next story will be that Jeff, is on his way to Mexico, with Lee making tracks in the same direction, for the purpose of offering his military services to Maximilian. It is a long time since we have seen Jeff. Davis, and possibly he has really given General Grant the slip, and is, by this time, on his way to the Halls of the Montezuma.
