We give below a few extracts, and ask the citizen reader and despondent soldier (if there be such) to read them and contrast the times; but to remember always that, by a firm determination and a heroic submission to dangers and sufferings, our grand old fathers, conquered a glorious liberty, and that even so will our armies come from under the cloud and march to victory and to honor.

it till a larger force is sent to dislodge them, which, by the way, can very soon be done when the proper time comes for Sherman to move. As for the city, everything is quiet and well regulated. We are pleased to announce, as a matter of record, that the schooner Maryland, Captain Cathcart, yesterday, was moored at one of our wharves, she being the first sail vessel that has arrived since the re-occupation of the city by the Union forces. Looking for Mosby. A dispatch from Washington, dated the 5th instant, announces the failure of a scout for Mosby. It says: A scout set out, last week, to look for Mosby, under command of Major Frazer.
