ore this war is over. General Lee, great man that he is, is neither infallible, omniscient nor omnipotent. General Washington often lost battles, and was often the victim of misconstruction and misrepresentation at the hands of his friends. Let us not waste all our breath at the beginning of General Lee's new career, but retain a portion of it to sustain him at the pinch of the hill. Let us show our admiration and confidence by holding up his hands, by strengthening his armies, by refraining from the croaking that would paralyze his soldiers, by putting down the spirit of extortion and greed, and pouring out cheerful contributions of material aid to the cause.--The Government has given us General Lee as the Commander-in-Chief--now let the people do their part and give General Lee the public spirit and unselfish patriotism of 1861. Then, with the blessing of Heaven, we may look forward as confidently to the achievement of Confederate Independence as the rising of to-morrow's sun.

But perhaps we ought to say something to prevent that confidence from becoming idolatry; to invoke the people of the Confederacy not to put their trust in man, whose breath is in his nostrils, but to place their only reliance upon that Divine hand which controls the destinies of nations, and which has hitherto been interposed so wonderfully in our behalf; that G

The London Times speaks of "the frantic patient tearing the bandages from his wounds, and thrusting aside the hand that would assuage his miseries. " This "frantic patient" is America, and "the hand that would assuage his miseries" is Great Britain. Considering that Great Britain has, from the first, persistently and emphatically, by almost every steamer that has crossed the Atlantic in four years, refused to intervene, for the purpose of putting an end to a war which was the fruit Great Britain has, from the first, persistently and emphatically, by almost every steamer that has crossed the Atlantic in four years, refused to intervene, for the purpose of putting an end to a war which was the fruit of her own machinations, although solicited to do so by the Emperor of the French, we cannot admire enough the amazing coolness, not to say impudence, of the Times. We venture to predict that as soon as the "frantic patient" recovers his reason, he will make haste to acknowledge the agency that drove him mad, and laughed at him through the bars of his dungeon.

The appointment of General Breckinridge Secretary of War is another of the good signs of the times. He is a practical military man, at once a soldier and a statesman, in the prime of life and strength, and, we need not add, thoroughly devoted to the cause of the country. There can be no lack of efficiency in the War Department with such men as General Breckinridge Secretary, and Judge Campbell Assistant.

William Tecumseh Sherman is the full name of the new military lion of the North. It must have been a prophetic instinct that induced his father to name the future desolator of Georgia after the most noted Indian chief employed by the British in the late war. Our readers remember the old doggerel,-- "Rumpsey Dumpsey, Colonel Johnson killed Tecumseh." Perhaps his namesake may meet the same fate at the hands of General Johnston.
