ician can be taken from the clubs, and a lawyer from the court-rooms, and safely entrusted with the leadership of an army. We are no advocates of red tape. We think that regular officers, who are mere regulars, and do not appreciate the peculiar genius and temper of volunteer troops, are as likely to do injury by their want of perception and flexibility, as the uneducated in war by their ignorance and rashness. Nor would we deny that men are sometimes born Generals, and that Napoleon would have been Napoleon if he had never seen the inside of a military school. We have doubtless in the Confederacy some such men, and when they demonstrate their ability by a series of successful actions, which cannot be attributed to accident, every facility should be given to their promotion. Some Washington or Jackson may still be among us, whom the times will call forth, and who will yet help to "raise their bleeding country from the dust," and visit righteous retribution upon her enemies.

The old Union men. We have often expressed the opinion that the old Union men of Virginia had entitled themselves, from the very moment that Lincoln's proclamation made the path of duty plain to their minds, to the most profound gratitude and admiration of the country. Any error of judgment that they committed before that period, was an error into which the wisest might have fallen, and which has been more than atoned for by their unsurpassed devotion to the common cause.

That the enemy takes the same view of the subject, is indicated by their arrest, under circumstances of great cruelty and oppression, of old Union men.-- The case of Mr. Janney, the President of the Virginia Convention, is a case in point. Not withstanding he was in delicate health, and was also confined to his house by the illness of his wife, he was visited, says the

Gen. Price's retreat from Springfield. The following is the substance of General Sterling Price's official report of his retreat from Springfield, (dated February 25,) addressed to Gov. Jackson, of Missouri. It furnishes a sufficient answer to the Federal accounts, and affords additional evidence of the mendacity of the Federal Generals: A bout the latter part of December, I left my camp on Sac river, St. Clair county, fell back, and took up my quarters at Springfield for the purpose of being within reach of supplies, protecting that portion of the State from home guard depredations and Federal invasion, as well as to secure a most valuable point for military movement At Springfield, I received from Grand Glaze considerable supplies of clothing, camp and garrison equipage, and having built huts, our soldiers were as comfortable as circumstances would permit. I am pleased to say few complaints were either made or heard, Missouri having been admitted as an equal member of th
