I do not write this to excuse the rebels — for I believe if ever a rebellion was unnecessary it is this but to show the difference between the sections. When we were defeated at Bull Run, that July, you remember what a sensation it created. You would have thought we were all doomed — stocks down, business dull, but long faces everywhere. Every engagement we are perted--eye, it is demanded — that we be victorious, and unless we are you would think that is the last effort we are capable of making. Oh, that our people had a little moral courage, like foes to beat up against misfortune. In some places, and often, the rebels have shown superior generalship to our own. Every person<

But he is welcome to it, as I do not think the very enviable position to hold, when not capable. It will do very well to parade are and the streets, but in war you see what a man is made of. Better be a private in the rear rank, and know your duty and do it than be a General, and make a tool of yourself and be disgraced.

t misfortune. In some places, and often, the rebels have shown superior generalship to our own. Every person knows that a retreat is the last resort of a General, for he is exposed to the of his enemy without being able to return it. But when a General can withdraw his army, with all his baggage and munitions, and destroy all his works, while in sight of a superior forces of the enemy, does he not display transcendent military ability? This we all know, was done at Manassas. Gen. Jos. E. Johnston deserves all the praise we can bestow upon him, without being accused of treason. Again at Yorktown he withdrew his forces from before our best and favorite General, being compelled to meet us but once, at Williamsburg. At Pittsburg Landing if we had Beauregard on our side, we would have been Memphis to-day, and the whole Mississippi I have no fear of the result.
