em out for the admiration of the world, or preserve them for the pen of history. Many a poor sister reads the simple story of her soldier-brother, or, in her chamber, pores over the letter of her lover with moistened eyes and emotions half of pleasure and half of grief. If the unwritten history of this war could only be told — if the many instances of individual virtue and patriotic heroism could be written, what an insight would it give us to the human heart! In the army of the Confederate States at the present moment, there is enrolled an amount of intelligence, conscientious conviction, earnestness of deliberate will consecrated to a holy cause, never, perhaps equalled in the history of eighteen centuries. The best blood, and the truest, most manly hearts of our Southern land, are enlisted in the defence of its honor. When we think of the chivalric noble men composing the rank and file of our army, how closely do we scan the character of the General upon whom the responsibil

ws this. For these reasons I do think the Federal Commander will not attack Gen. Johnston's army at Bowling Green, or in any other position where he might be likely to accept a general engagement, and, therefore, I adhere to the opinion that there will be no great battle in that part of the State, unless it be demanded from Washington, as the battle of Manassas was. Another subject of great interest which occupies the public mind is that of the trouble between Great Britain and the United States. Every telegraphic dispatch to the press of Nashville is eagerly looked for, and devoted with avidity. We were rejoicing until the last day or two over the prospect of war between the two countries, but the lest news from Washington has checked our joy. The bragging Yankees begin to shake at the knees before the growl of the old lion. We fear that Mr. Secretary Welles will swallow his Wilkes's letter of approval, and Congress will eat its own words. England may, however, under the in

The United States and Ireland --A vast amount of absurdly is gabbled by the Federal press about the aid they would receive from Ireland, and a possible alliance with France, in the event of a war with Great Britain. There never was a more insane delusion than this reliance upon Irish and French aid. The last attempt at a rebellion in Ireland, in which "Meagher of the Sword" figured so extensively was a complete flash in the pan. Great Britain disdained to award to any of the leaders thatendence and welfare of both. Confederacies, are the sentiments of Ireland generally, but certainly the position of Mr. O'Brien is a Southern and not a Northern position. We attach no importance, therefore, to the ravings of a few run mad revolutionists still left in Ireland, and predict that, in the event of a war with the United States, Irishmen, instead of rebelling, would be found, as they have been found in all former wars, among the best and bravest soldiers under the British standard.

Against them the navy of Mr. Welles is as a giant against a dwarf Withe Trent on the 8th of November and took from her these dangerous men whom he brought to the United States. His vessel having been ordered to refit for service at Charleston, the prisoners were retaless would be sent out.

Lincolns set system Abroad --The London Herald had recently an indignant article on the presence of Lincoln spies in England. It makes complaint that the New York and Washington directives, in plain clothes, infest the Liverpool Exchange; that in dining saloons, and -rooms, and counting rooms, Englishmen must be careful what they say about the Federal or Confederate States, they compromise some one or other, open Lafayette to their business partners in New York or elsewhere." It speaks scornfully of suspicious characters," who follow people about and thrust themselves into situations, where they may listen to conversations, and act as spies for the Government at Washington. This infamous system is pronounced to be unbearable, and the Government is called upon to put it down in England.
