The moral effect of the capture of Savannah has not been as great even as that of Atlanta. The two together were no such disaster as the defeat of Hood's army. If that army had remained intact, we could have permitted the Federal forces to make as many flying trips through the South as suited their convenience, and establish their headquarters in Savannah or any other Yankee towns that they could fairly capture.--We do not despair of the efficient reorganization of Hood's army and its uHood's army and its ultimate recovery from the losses it has suffered; but its defeats have done more to produce the existing depression than the capture of a hundred Savannahs. The only important loss in that place is the cotton, which ought to have been destroyed, even if it involved the destruction of that enterprising New England city. The Northern sentiment expressed at the late peace meeting in Savannah is only what might have been expected from the Northern men engaged in it. Whilst it is true that amon

His successor was appointed and reached Louisville, on his way to Nashville, but paused in our city, when it was announced that Thomas had remounted his cavalry, furnished his artillery with fresh horses, and made a sally on the left of the rebel line, and, in twenty four hours, doubled Hood's divisions upon one another in maze of entanglement.

The means of activity can be acquired by art. A regular service has been organized in the Confederacy for the supply from the most skillful makers in Europe of artificial limbs and members, equipped with all the most cunning contrivances that modern ingenuity has devised to render them effective substitutes for living e at least should reach its destination in safety. On one particular specimen of ingenuity particular care was bestowed, and the surgeon took charge of it himself, sewing it up in a waterproof easing, that it might survive the chances of being trow overboard to be rescued from the clutches of Federal chasers. This was the identical limb — an "Anglesy leg," as it is called — which enabled General Hood to take active service again, and assume the command of the army at Atlanta.-- London Inde
