n, and it would be suicidal in the South, which has infinitely more at stake than the North, to manifest less intelligence and vigilance in the defence of its most sacred rights. General Davis, who is spoken of as the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern forces, is a regularly educated officer, and one of the best military men of the day. Virginia has sons in the U. S. Army who, in the event of her invasion, would, beyond all doubt, assist in her defence, and to them the command of her armies ought to be given. Such men as Col.Robert Lee, who has no superior as a soldier in the United States, ought to be placed at the head of her forces. It cannot be expected that the rank and file of any service can discharge their duty efficiently unless they have the most perfect confidence in the Generalship of their Chief, and such confidence is only complete when, in addition to a thorough military education, the life of their commander has been spent in the practical duties of his profession.
