ur country. The crops are made, and are more bountiful than were ever before known. Ample for three years has been made. So, you will observe that we don't think it is "going to be much of a shower after all." Military operations in Louisiana recently have been most Important. Official information of the capture of large numbers of small arms has been received here, which is the most important thing that could have occurred to us. The battle of Helena was unfortunate, resultinve all other timer, the Jeffersonian motto should ever be before our eyes--"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." A letter from Brandon, (cis Mississippi,) dated the 6th inst., says: A new leader has leaped into the arena in West Louisiana. Mat. F. Johnston, the youngest brother of the family of which Col. Johnston, of the 2d Kentucky, is the eldest, is at work. The father dying, and his brothers being all in the war, young Mat. remained at home to manage an immense estate.

Price maintained his ancient renown, and all our troops behaved well Brigadier Generals Parsons and Fagan won new laurels, and Gen Holmes has the credit for much gallantry on the field. The loss will be repaired as speedily as possible, and all things put in readiness for further operations. The news from Missouri is that the people remain true to the Southern cause, only awaiting an opportunity to rise against the invaders. Gov. Reynolds, of that State, is here, doing whatever is in his power to further the interests of the Confederate cause in and out of the State.

From the Trans Mississippi.--speculations about Grants army. A letter from Little Rock, Arkansas, to the Atlanta Appeal, dated July 19th, gives much interesting information relative to the condition of things beyond the Mississippi. The people of that section, it seems, are running a four-State power Confederacy on their "own book," and hope to be able to continue in well doing, not withstanding the interruption of communication across the river. The statements contained in the letter crush out the fallacious notion that the backbone of the rebellion is broken when the Confederacy is bisected. There is a genus of creatures which are not destroyed, but multiplied, by being cut in twain. The letter says: Although Vicksburg has fallen, and communication between this section and the States east of the Mississippi is difficult, and all transmission of materials of war is out of the question for the future, we are not as those without hope. Gen. E. K. Smith possesses the en

h of the defences of that place will warrant the reduction. What, then, becomes of the remaining twenty five thousand men left after the garrison has been supplied? It is more than probable they have gone, with Grant at their head, to reinforce Meade in Virginia, to accomplish the destruction, if possible, of that magnificent army of General Lee, whose destruction the Yankees so fondly think would accomplish the subjugation of the South. They are not prepared just now to attack Mobile, ase, it is in their programme; but they look first to the result in Virginia, and to the capture of Charleston, when the monitors now thundering at battery Wagner will salute the Gulf city from the ocean, and the army now gone to the assistance of Meade will attack it in the rear. This seems, from the stand point we occupy here, and from the limited data in our possession, to be a reasonable, if not a logical, deduction. But the field is open for speculation, and time alone can determine the a

erests receives his attention. All claims for service are being audited and liquidated as rapidly as possible, and the machinery of the State Government prepared for an economical and just administration. Another letter from the same place has some interesting speculations about Grant's army. It says: Let us suppose that Grant's forces, all told, including the reinforcements he may have received from the time he landed at Grand Gulf to his return to Vicksburg after the fall of Jackson, numbered 120,000 men. Of these he lost in battle — killed, wounded, and prisoners, thirty five thousand men, fifteen thousand more are in hospitals, sick or convalescent, and thirty thousand furloughed, including stragglers and deserters. This would show an actual deficit of thirty five thousand, and an aggregate deficit of eighty thousand men now in his army — leaving remaining forty thousand men now on duty properly belonging to Grant's army. Of these probably not more than fifteen tho

probably not more than fifteen thousand will constitute the permanent garrison at Vicksburg, to be reduced to ten thousand or less, when the growing strength of the defences of that place will warrant the reduction. What, then, becomes of the remaining twenty five thousand men left after the garrison has been supplied?

, will cover the breach made in his army, leaving 70,000 men to be hurried, when he sees an opportunity, against Mobile, or against whose manœavres and machinations this army and the country will have to provide. Perhaps this is the better view of the case, but I incline to the other. In any event we should keep our lamps trimmed and burning. Now, above all other timer, the Jeffersonian motto should ever be before our eyes--"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." A letter from Brandon, (cis Mississippi,) dated the 6th inst., says: A new leader has leaped into the arena in West Louisiana. Mat. F. Johnston, the youngest brother of the family of which Col.
