The London times on Confederate military movements. --The London Times, of the 26th ult., has an editorial on the late military operations of the Confederate commanders, resulting in the defeat of Rosecrans and the retreat of Meade. It says: In these last operations in Tennessee and Virginia the Confederate commanders have displayed a degree of military skill and a power of combining their force that the Federals have never been able to attain. The armies of General Lee and General Bragg, in Georgia and Northern Virginia, were more than four hundred miles apart in a straight line. Yet they cooperated with and supported each other with as much celeray as if they were engaged in one operation. A whole corps has been taken from one and added to the other with facility as great as if the main bodies had only been separated by the distance of a day's march.

This once ultra Virginian accepted service against the State and section of his birth and pride — against his life-long principles, and in renunciation of a duty and fealty which he had ever recognized. It was this Virginian who unquestionably saved the Yankee army at Chattanooga by his coolness, his sturdy courage, and his good Tactics — his concentration and intervention of his masses at the critical moment to resist the fierce but unsustained outset of our troops who had not been thus concentrated. Benedict Arnold was not a braver solder than George Thomas, the traitor of Virginia. A Mobile paper says that Thomas, having been the Lieutenant for years of his present adversary, Bragg, the latter "knows him like a book." On who knows both assures me Thomas knows his old Captain quite as well, and especially in what he is granting as a commander. It is doubtful, therefore, whether we have good cause for gratulation in the exchange of Thomas for Rosecrans
