Let those who a short while since were so ready to censure Gov. Harris go and do likewise. We wonder where the Military Governor, Andy Johnson, was when the trenchant steel shimmered 'neath the April sun, and the death shot hurled in battle on the banks of the broad Tennessee? Was he near the front of danger then as the Governor of our choice? The Atlanta Confederacy gathers the following items about the battle of Monday from a gentleman just arrived from Chattanooga: Buell's army numbered some 64,000 men, and ours 35,000.

Sibley, with his command, numbering, rank and fire, 2,300 men, left Fort Thorn, 56 miles below Fort Craig, about the 18th of February, with the intention of taking the latter place. On arriving in the vicinity of Craig, he learned from some persons captured near thCraig, he learned from some persons captured near the post that Gen. Canby was in command of the Federal forces in the fort; that he had 1,200 regular troops, 200 American volunteers, and 5,000 Mexicans — entire force near 6,400 men. Notwithstanding this superior force he boldly advanced, and on the 19th crossed the river below Craig, and making a detour of some miles arrived, on thizona and New Mexico, about twenty-five millions worth of property, and will greatly add to the prestige of our arms."

d correspondents can with ready ingenuity convert it into one, but the French and Englishmen, who saw with their own eyes this unparalleled affront put upon the invincible " cheese box," will tell a different story. Discretion is the better part of valor, and upon this maxim, more prudent than chivalrous the Monitor saw fit to act yesterday morning. The Yankees said in Stafford. The Fredericksburg News has a long account of the excesses committed by Sickles and his ruffians in Stafford county, a portion of which we copy: About 1,600 Yankees, with four pieces of artillery, six-pounders, each drawn by sixteen negroes, landed at Evansport on the night of April 2d, by the light of Evana's House, which they set on fire. Thursday morning they went to Capt. Graves's and took all his horses and Mr. Stonnell's. At Mrs. Powers's Sickles asked for "something to drink"--the thirsty warrior!--and something to eat. The yard was full of men romping and boxing.--One asked Mrs. P. if

Captain Tee battery now coming up, closed this sanguinary contest with shell and grape, as they fled down the opposite side of the river to the fort. "The battle lasted nine hours. Our loss is killed and 120 wounded. That of the enemy, as given by themselves, is 300, killed, 400 or 500 wounded, and 2,000 missing." "The result of this battle is conceived to be of more importance to the Southern Confederacy than any that has been fought during the war. It will give us the Territory of Arizona and New Mexico, about twenty-five millions worth of property, and will greatly add to the prestige of our arms."

Hore's farm, and set his barn on fire about 10 A. M., and consumed it and the wheat, rye, &c., in it. Then burnt his fish houses — made a raft of some plank and floated part of their plunder to the steamers. The rest they took to Evansport. Horses which hesitated to go on board, were shot. Saturday night they returned to Maryland. Friday morning our scouts fired on them from Dapple Hill and scattered them, although the distance is 1000 yards. Of their doings at Stafford Court-House the News says: The Zouaves broke off into squads and commenced searching the private houses, stores, Court- house, and jail. At the latter place they sung out, come out "Friends," we are here to relieve you. Here, however, they found none of their friends, they being all removed to a safer place. From the store of G. W.
