. When all is lost, we hold that it will be his duty to blow out what brains he may have left — his remainder cerebrum, so to speak. To make the whole proceeding more sublime, he might announce that upon the 14th inst., at high noon, he intended to consummate his felo de se, and request his friends and admirers to hang or shoot themselves, or to take big morphine pills, at the same identical moment. Then, with simultaneous kick or quiver, or firing their own salvo over their departure for Hades, the Chiefs of Secession might secede from this wicked world, and enter upon another from which, however hot, secession. will be impossible. We throw out these hints merely from an ardent passion for seeing things done neatly. If we are to have no Confederate States, we shall need no Confederate Statesmen.

Is he not ready to go on, letting slide innumerable and endless Avalanches, even under the accursed Federal banner? And if he, cream of Confederate cream — the guide, philosopher, Mentor and Palinurus of the Rebellion in those parts, is so submissive, why who can tell how many others will follow his loyal lead? What are we to do? If these great ones, when they are humbled and downcast-their pride wounded, etc.--are to betake themselves to a philosophy suited to their condition --must we forgive them for the sake of science?
