d a notion of the difficulty of advancing an army has been gained from the experience of a single horseman seeking food and for his horse and himself. From Gen. Lee's advanced pass four days (three in the saddle and one on the railroad) are required for the journey to Richmond, though the distance is less than two hundred miles. But the rocky roads of the Blue Ridge make thirty miles on horseback a good day's journey. An for food and forage. It is almost as difficult to procure as in Central Africa. The confidence generally entertained here, that if Gen. McClellan Samuel advance it will be to his ruin, is based upon the fact that no such army as that now commanded by Gen. Lee has ever been in the field to oppose him since the birth of the Confederacy. Whenever the history of this war is fully written, the world will be aghast at the disparity of forces with which battle after battle has been won by Southern Generals; and especially by Gen.

th one of the firmest that ever was set in mortal head. The President looks and worn, but speaks cheerfully of his health. There is nothing to justify the repeated allegations of Northern papers that he is physically at his last gasp. A month in the Confederacy has taught me what a tremendous power, beyond the unanimous resistance of the the North is contending against in the vest dimension of the area it is serving to subdue. I have hitherto but grazed the edges of the great State of Virginia, but in order to do this day after day has been spent in the saddle hundreds of miles have been ridden, and a notion of the difficulty of advancing an army has been gained from the experience of a single horseman seeking food and for his horse and himself.

The best commentary upon the Maryland campaign is found in the two facts that Harper's Ferry, with ,000 men and an untold number of guns and abundant munitions of war, fell, almost without coating a life, into the hands of its assailants, avice as equal to her heart's blood. In the annals of the Old Dominion there will be no loftier page than that which tells how month after month the war which established the independence of the South was fought on her willing soil; how Lee, and Jackson, and Stua and a hundred others, were among her chosen sons, and how, upon every battle-field, rivers of the best blood of Virginia were freely shed rather than abandon the title to independence which finds its expression in her fierce motto of "

rd to talk of such a word as earnestness being applicable to the colored race, but to the fullest extent of their powers, detestation of the Yankee is expressed by the negroes. In a former letter from the North I expressed the opinion that Mr. Davis was the oldest living American; that impression is mere than confirmed by intercourse with him. The President is one of those calm, firm undemonstrative men, inclining to reticence, but, if interested, easily led on to animated conversation; whade in the same mould with that of his follows, who had not traveled along the same Macadamized road of learning along which, though pursuing it to different lengths, the twenty millions of the North undeviatingly advance. An interview with President Davis reveals to you an American with striking originality, whose mind has made its own road as it journeyed; who has thoughtfully profited by his own experiences, and got beyond the act phrases and the primers which circumscribe vigor and reach o

nth the war which established the independence of the South was fought on her willing soil; how Lee, and Jackson, and Stua and a hundred others, were among her chosen sons, and how, upon every battle-field, rivers of the best blood of Virginia were freely shed rather than abandon the title to independence which finds its expression in her fierce motto of "Sic Semper Tyrannis." In one respect there need be little anxiety entertained in Europe about the pompous proclamation in which President Lincoln announces that after the 1st of January next all slaves in the States then in rebellion will be et free. From the very first dawn of this war that proclamation has been practically enforced. There remains no power to enforce it in January, 1863, which was not invoked and employed in January, 1862. It is remarked, after the experience of eighteen months of warfare, that the smooth-bore rifle is generally preferred by the Southern soldiers to the Enfield or Springfield. The Confe

Another Richmond letter in the London times. The London Times, of December 1st, publishes another interesting letter from its special correspondent in Richmond. We make the following extracts: In the annuals of civilized warfare such harmony in support of a war has never been approached. --The women are never failing source of wonder and admiration to the stranger, and next to the women in earnestness are the clergy, and especially those of the Ro sh faith. It is absurd to talk of such a word as earnestness being applicable to the colored race, but to the fullest extent of their powers, detestation of the Yankee is expressed by the negroes.
