The News from the army of Georgia. When things get to their worst, they generally begin to brighten a little. Our affairs in Georgia wear, certainly, a more cheerful aspect than they have done since the battle of Chickamauga, two months and a half ago. The splendid achievement of Cleburne proves that there is spirit left in the army — enough of it, if properly fostered and directed, to accomplish great things, in spite of late disasters. The victory in question is a great comfort — the retreat of the enemy, and the apparent postponement of his advance upon Atlanta is a greater. It is a great satisfaction to the country to know that Gen. Bragg's desire to be recalled has been compiled with. We have no doubt that Gen. Bragg is a brave soldier and a true patriot, and that he has done the best he could do. No blame ought to be attached to him, for he has felt for a long time that he was in a false position, and has repeatedly desired to be recalled. That wish ought long sin
t on account of the loss of men, which was inconsiderable, nor the loss of territory, which is far more serious, but chiefly on account of the loss of the moral strength and confidence of the army and the country. Let us not, then, add to our calamity by beginning a war of abuse and condemnation against the chief of the beaten army or the head of the Government. Let us rather strive to reanimate the hopes of the people and the army, bring forward all our strength, and pray that Heaven will yet give us the final victory. In a few days I shall prepare a review of the whole campaign in Northern Georgia, beginning with the evacuation of Chattanooga in September, and closing with the present retreat; and, while I shall not gloss over the error of any one, I shall be able to show that Gen. Bragg has had a most difficult task to perform; that he behaved with unsurpassed courage on the field; and that, if he has been unfortunate, he has also been devoted to the cause. Sallust.

e Savannah Republican says that it has been ascertained that great activity prevails among the enemy at Beaufort and Hilton Head. A large number of vessels are in Port Royal, and heavy accessions have been made within a few days to the troops on Hilton Head. On Friday afternoon the vessels were moving about with great activity between Hilton Head and Beaufort. The intentions of the enemy are of course unknown; but it is fair to presume that they meditate an early descent upon the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, if not an attack upon or demonstration against Savannah. We shall probably hear from them at some point in the course of a few days at farthest. It has recently been ascertained that the Yankees have pretty well abandoned the coast of Georgia. There are none on St. Simons, Cumberland, or Jekyll Islands, and very few, if any, on the Islands higher up the coast. They keep a gunboat in most of the inlets. Most of the pirates are probably congregated at Hilton Head.
