Now, above all other timer, the Jeffersonian motto should ever be before our eyes--"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." A letter from Brandon, (cis Mississippi,) dated the 6th inst., says: A new leader has leaped into the arena in West Louisiana. Mat. F. Johnston, the youngest brother of the family of which Col.

From the Trans Mississippi.--speculations about Grants army. A letter from Little Rock, Arkansas, to the Atlanta Appeal, dated July 19th, gives much interesting information relative to the condition of things beyond the Mississippi. The people of that section, it seems, are running a four-State power Confederacy on their "own book," and hope to be able to continue in well doing, not withstanding the interruption of communication across the river. The statements contained in the letter crush out the fallacious notion that the backbone of the rebellion is broken when the Confederacy is bisected. There is a genus of creatures which are not destroyed, but multiplied, by being cut in twain. The letter says: Although Vicksburg has fallen, and communication between this section and the States east of the Mississippi is difficult, and all transmission of materials of war is out of the question for the future, we are not as those without hope.

Was he to be hung by the roadside as a terror to succeeding farmers of apprentices? Would it not be better that he should depart gradually under judicious insertions of the bowie-knife? The terror stricken Dent was on his knees to Johnston, who feared he could not control his men, out advised him to remain as near him as possible. Dent is safe at Alexandria. Advices from Hully Springs, of Aug. 24, state that the country in that vicinity is at present enjoying from the troubles of war. No Yankees have visited the vicinity within the last six weeks, and there has been no necessity for the presence of any Confederate troops. Such crops as were put in promise bountifully. Provisions and goods are plenty and cheap. The currency of the country is an admixture of Confederate, cotton, railroad, and greenback rates, all of which pass on an equality.

It says: Let us suppose that Grant's forces, all told, including the reinforcements he may have received from the time he landed at Grand Gulf to his return to Vicksburg after the fall of Jackson, numbered 120,000 men. Of these he lost in battle — killed, wounded, and prisoners, thirty five thousand men, fifteen thousand more are in hospitals, sick or convalescent, and thirty thousand furloughed, including stragglers and deserters.
