icent courage of the Southern troops can only be put to valuable account by making their discipline equal to their courage, and by husbanding our resources in men and arms with the most patient forethought and the most perfect system. Nor ought we to underrate the military skill any more than the courage of the Yankee army. The majority of their Generals may not be equal to the occasion, but some of them have shown great activity and sagacity. Rosecrans was one of their best Generals, Grant is unquestionably an able leader, and Meade has exhibited decided enterprise and boldness. One of these leaders has already been defeated, and the others may be; but to make this certain we must rely not upon their imagined incapacity, but, under the blessing of Heaven, upon our own watchfulness, system, forethought, and energy. We must prepare to fight the enemy as though he were led by Napoleon or Cœsar. Our men have the courage to fight anybody and everybody, but courage is not the qua

Attempt at Burglary. --On Saturday night an attempt was made by some negroes to force an entrance into the tailoring establishment of Mr. George R. Howard, on 14th street, between Main and Franklin, but some of the night watch being near by, the fellows were frightened off before accomplishing their object. Subsequently, however, two negroes, named Alexander, slave of James H. Grant, and Robert, the property of Dr. Jones, discovered lurking in the neighborhood of Mr. H.'s store under suspicious circumstances, were pursued, and being overtaken offered stout resistance to the officers, who finally succeeded in effecting their arrest. One of these fellows drew a pistol from his pocket and fired two barrels at the police before he could be overpowered, neither, however, of which took effect.

ac. Not withstanding the bluster of the Yankee journals about the extensive preparations for the capture of Richmond, there can be no doubt that the army under Grant, on the Rappahannock, is much weaker numerically than that which was overwhelmed under Hooker a year ago at Chancellorsville. An officer who came down on the Centame down on the Central train last night informs us that our scouts report that the statement of heavy reinforcements to Grant are greatly exaggerated, and that the enemy's army, with all the reinforcements received up to this time, does not exceed 60,000. It is stated, how ever, that Grant is making preparations for an advance. ame down on the Central train last night informs us that our scouts report that the statement of heavy reinforcements to Grant are greatly exaggerated, and that the enemy's army, with all the reinforcements received up to this time, does not exceed 60,000.

They then leisurely helped themselves to as much bacon and meal as they wanted and went off.

Later from the North. Orange C. H., April 18. --Northern dates of the 14th and 15th have been received here. On the 13th gold went up to 179 in New York, but on the receipt of intelligence that Chase had negotiated a loan of three hundred thousand pounds in London it fell to 175, but rallied again and closed at 177. The capture of Fort Pillow seems to be confirmed; also the Shreveport news, to some extent. Grant writes down the official loss at Missionary Ridge and Lookout Mountain at 600 killed, 4,000 wounded, and 700 missing.

During. --On Sunday night last, the six white men who robbed James H. Grant's smoke-house, were armed with muskets and bayonets, and made the overseer, a white man, unlock the doors for them. These men are doubtless a band of thieves, marauding the country for plunder.
