se who hear of them or read about them. Describing the life and character of Hannibal, he thus writes: " I, demens, et saevas curre per Alpes Ut pueris placeas, et declamatio flas." We have said that the effort of our people and our press to urge our officers to proceed with forward and offensive movements, and rebuking them for delay, is weak, wicked, and mischievous. We have a very recent proof and example of the correctness of our suggestions in the conduct of the Federals. Scott, Lincoln, and Seward knew that their troops were not sufficiently disciplined for an invasive movement, and were opposed to the attack at Bull Run and Manassas, but yielded their opposition to the abuse of the Northern press and the clamors of the mob. It was a weak and inexcusable procedure on their parts; but all men seek the approbation of their fellow men, and are more or less influenced by their opinions. We have no doubt whatever that some of our officers will be hurried into acts of

atter in terms of severe ridicule, biting sarcasm, and bitter rebuke. The North, if it dared utter its real opinions, would express concurrence with the European estimate of the Powers at Washington and at Richmond, and propose probably to hurl Lincoln and his wicked, usurping Cabinet from seats which they dishonor. When our people speak of the war in the aggregate, and its results so far, they boast that it has been conducted with consummate ability and courage and wonderful success on oe our officers to proceed with forward and offensive movements, and rebuking them for delay, is weak, wicked, and mischievous.

Observations and Reflections on the war — conduct of the war. Extracts from an article written for De Bow's Review, by Geo. Fitzhugh: Our people are strangely and criminally inconsistent in their treatment of the officers of our army and of the Executive head, that in great measure controls and directs those officers. We boast of the skill, courage, and superior ability and efficiency of our officers over those of the North. The North admits and deplores the fact, and all Europe reechoes the opinion. We point to Little Bethel, Bull Run, Springfield, and a hundred lesser battles or skirmishes, to show that this universal estimate of the superiority of our officers and our army is abundantly sustained by facts. We compare the Confederate Administration with that of the Union, and insist that the former is distinguished for good breeding, modesty, circumspection, foresight, and calm, quiet, determined courage; and that the latter is notorious for its vulgarity. its bl

han the ancients. The Romans delighted in gladiatorial shows, in which three or four might be killed in an evening. They were a hard-hearted people. We have been mollified and humanized by the gentle influence of Christianity, and abominate gladiatorial shows, and bull- baitings, and even cockfighting. Yet delight in murder on a grand scale, travel five hundred miles to see a battle come off, and are sadly disappointed if several thousand are not killed. We firmly believe that Christopher North was right when he said, "There is a great deal of human nature in man;" and it will stick to him so long as he occupies his present clayey tenement. We, ourselves, plead no exemption from this common infirmity of humanity. Confident as we are that our armies will fight whenever the proper time and opportunity arrives, yet, when we go down street of evenings, and hear neither of a battle nor a skirmish, we always return home dissatisfied and sulky. "Congenial horrors" have become our

Ripley (search for this): article 10
The defence of the coast. --While Gen. Ripley in mounting his Columbiads and Dahlgren's, says the Charleston Mercury of Wednesday, Col. Trapier is making "masked batteries" for the reception of the valiant Butler; Col. Hatch is getting the riflemen ready to salute the new-comers, as they navigate the creeks and inlets on their way to Charleston. Judging from the energy displayed by those who have the matter in hand, every bush and sand-hill will be a "masked battery" on a small scale, with some of the sharp young riflemen in waiting.
