The first days of spring find all Dixie in fine feather.
From the fiasco of Kilpatrick and young Dahlgren near Richmond, from Mr Lincoln's shocking experiment in Florida, from Palmer's disastrous repulse at Dalton, and Sherman's magnificent fizzle, they gather glad auguries for their arms in the coming campaigns.
While we are just entering upon a season of political distractions, divided councils, jealous Generals, voracious speculators, and a wrangling press, they bring to the struggle an united people, harmonious journals, and an army stronger than ever before, and eager for the trial of conclusions — stronger not in numbers perhaps, for it cannot exceed two hundred and eighty thousand of all arms, but in the stuff of which it is composed, in equipment, in supplies, in discipline, in tried leadership, and espec
