Words of Encouragement.
--The tide of war having turned in favor of the Confederacy, the Charleston Courier remarks:
The sun burst through the clouds that had for several months hung over the Southern sky in the opening week of April.
The first Sunday of that month witnessed a brilliant victory, won by the forces under Johnston and Beauregard, against large odds and in the face of numerous disadvantages.
The success our troops met with at Williamsburg was decisive and complete, and though the enemy, as his won't is, boasted of that discomfiture, representing it as a great victory, the truth has reached the ear of the deluded nation, and turned his joy into sorrow, his exultation into mourning.
The intrepid and irresistible Jackson, who at Kernstown checked and chastised the foe, though outnumbered ten to one, forced Milroy to retreat, fell upon the enemy at McDowell's, and made him flee in hot haste, leaving rich spoils to the victors, drove him from Front Royal in wild

That power of wielding divisions of troops as a Cyclops wields his hammer, and striking blow after blow with them in stunning succession, has not been revealed to the American Generals."
We suggest that the "genius of a great General" has been developed in the leader of one of these commands.
There is "a decisive genius" an one side, at least.
"The power of wielding divisions of troops, as a Cyclops wield his hammer," "striking blow after blow wi
War Songs of the South,
West & Johnston have just issued Dr. Shepardson's book of Songs, inspired by the war and its incidents.
They are selected with a judgment and taste highly creditable to the editor.
These songs are, many of them, of a high order of poetic genius.
All exhibit the fire of patriotism and true Southern spirit.--We had not supposed it possible to make up a book of so many pages--two hundred and sixteen--of poems written during the brief space of the war, so large a portion of which are very fine poetry.
The editor has done the public a service in fishing them up from the rapidly flowing stream of oblivion and giving them a more enduring existence in his
best volume.
He has appropriately graced the title page with the very well expressed and truthful apothegm of Fletcher;--"I said, I knew a very wise man so much of Sir Chr--'s sentiment, that he believed if a man were permitted to make all the ballads, he need not care who should make the laws of a nat
