this. When the Yankees occupied those same lines from which we have just repulsed them with such terrible slaughter, we drove them from them. At that time they were much stronger than they are now. This fact alone would be sufficient to show which are the best troops.--Devoutly thankful should the whole Confederate States be to that Providence which has watched over us in this great crisis, and under Him to that brave army, and that great General, who have turned our day of trial into one of joy. Especially ought we to hold the latter dear, for the skill which has continued to accomplish such a mighty enterprise with so little loss. Nor is this all the good news with which our columns are laden this morning. Gen. Johnston has vindicated his high reputation. He has turned Sherman from his course, and has already weakened his army by nearly half. Let criticism hereafter be silent with regard to the plans of that great officer, or at least wait until they have been developed.
