The moral effect of the capture of Savannah has not been as great even as that of Atlanta. The two together were no such disaster as the defeat of Hood's army. If that army had remained intact, we could have permitted the Federal forces to make as many flying trips through the South as suited their convenience, and establish their headquarters in Savannah or any other Yankee towns that they could fairly capture.--We do not despair of the efficient reorganization of Hood's army and its ultimate recovery from the losses it has suffered; but its defeats have done more to produce the existing depression than the capture of a hundred Savannahs. The only important loss in that place is the cotton, which ought to have been destroyed, even if it involved the destruction of that enterprising New England city. The Northern sentiment expressed at the late peace meeting in Savannah is only what might have been expected from the Northern men engaged in it. Whilst it is true that amo
n from the armies of the enemy, is an advance from the Savannah river, through the States of South and North Carolina practicable, simply as a problem in logistics? In other words, is it feasible as a march? Before Sherman made his march from Atlanta to the Atlantic, it might have been hazardous to answer this query in the affirmative.--But the master mind that, in the month of December, conducted his army from the heart of Georgia to Savannah, a distance of three hundred miles, without the andoah valley a barren waste, even to the extent of breaking up and burning the farming utensils, and burning the roofs over the heads of helpless women and children; that the atrocities of Turchin and McNiel would not have been overlooked; that Atlanta would not have been depopulated and burned; that Petersburg and Charleston would not be shelled, and that Sherman's march through Georgia would not have been marked by a broad belt of desolation. The course which has been pursued towards th

In the early part of last year an eminent staff surgeon in the Confederate army was dispatched to London, and took up his quarters in the neighborhood of a skilled artist. He came provided with models of the truncated members of a number of Confederate officers, spent several weeks in superintending the manufacture of a number of arms, legs, hands, &c., which were supplied in sets of two or three each, that, amidst the perils of blockade-running, one at least should reach its destination in safety. On one particular specimen of ingenuity particular care was bestowed, and the surgeon took charge of it himself, sewing it up in a waterproof easing, that it might survive the chances of being trow overboard to be rescued from the clutches of Federal chasers. This was the identical limb — an "Anglesy leg," as it is called — which enabled General Hood to take active service again, and assume the command of the army at Atlanta.-- London Inde
