obtained. It is, for example, nearly two months since the battle of Nashville, and now, for the first time, we begin to get Confederate accounts of that transaction. What dejection, what discouragement, what painful suspense and uncertainty would have been avoided, if we could have heard six weeks ago what we hear now! A great disappointment, a great misfortune at the best, but not the irreparable calamity that so many imagined. The Army of Tennessee, under such leaders as Johnston or Beauregard, will still, with the blessing of God, retrieve its laurels. There is no reliance on Yankee accounts of the condition of Confederate armies. Such accounts, and all others, from Yankee sources, when transferred to Confederate columns, should be read as so many Gulliver's Travels and adventures of Munchausen. But a lie when put in type seems to have a stronger fascination. We are prone to believe a thing when in print, that we would have no faith in, in manuscript or by word of mouth. W

ankee accounts of the misfortunes of that army have been grossly exaggerated; that it has suffered only an inconsiderable loss in numbers, not half that inflicted upon the enemy; that it has still an abundance of artillery, and that the alleged demoralization in the ranks exists only in Yankee organizations. If it be true, as stated by the Columbus Sun, that the vigilant Beauregard has gone on to take command of that army in person, and that the eminent soldier, Johnston, will confront General Sherman, the situation in the West and South is by no means discouraging. The Southern public ought, by this time, to be able to attach the proper value to Yankee statements. They ought to know that a rigid adherence to facts is not one of their weaknesses. --We once knew an inmate of the hospital for the insane in Staunton who had his reason upon all other points except a morbid fear of telling something that was not so. This monomania extended to the most minute and timid matters.--It wa

This monomania extended to the most minute and timid matters.--It was a sad infirmity, no doubt, and it is lamentable to think that he may not be wholly rational to this day. Dr. Stribling has performed many remarkable cures in his time, but this malady is so unusual, so unprecedented among mankind, that it may have baffled even his proverbial skill. Certainly, no Yankee letter- writer is likely to be sent to a lunatic asylum for such a disease. We sometimes question the propriety of transferring to Confederate newspapers Yankee accounts of military affairs. Unhappily, they are often the only accounts that can be promptly obtained. It is, for example, nearly two mo

The Army of Tennessee, under proper leadership, will yet vindicate its claims to the gratitude and admiration of the country. Its patient endurance of years of toil, peril and adversity, entitles it to as profound respect as the most brilliant successes in the field. To be a soldier under generals whose banners are always bathed in the sunshine of victory is a happy fortune; but it affords no such test of constancy and fortitude as the steady and persistent struggle against advers

Governor Foote. The Philadelphia Inquirer and other Federal journals give our friend, Governor Foote, anGovernor Foote, an indifferent welcome. The intention which he announced in Congress of "seeking some sequestered spot where thainly that spot is not the United States. Perhaps Mr. Foote said sequestrated, not sequestered. In that eventan is the very man for his money. We think if Mr. Foote ever expressed any desire in Congress to go to the only to call at the captain's office and settle. Mr. Foote, we believe, has considerable property in the Unit, however, does not see the point. It thinks that Mr. Foote only desires to be sequestered, and recommends theson.

athan is the very man for his money. We think if Mr. Foote ever expressed any desire in Congress to go to the United States, it must have been to be sequestrated. That country affords greater facilities for such an object than any other land under the sun. Confederate emigrants who wish to be disposed of in that way have only to call at the captain's office and settle. Mr. Foote, we believe, has considerable property in the United States, which he may be disposed to look after, and Mr. Lincoln will help him do it. The Inquirer, however, does not see the point. It thinks that Mr. Foote only desires to be sequestered, and recommends the "Old Capitol prison. " If this recommendation is carried out, Mr. Foote, late of the Confederate Capitol, will have made a poor exchange.--We hope they will let the old gentleman pass. He has been a good enough Confederate, it is true, and abuse of Jeff Davis does not atone for that crime in Yankee eyes. But he is "an old man, my lord — a

ed, whatever he may say. Solitary confinement would kill him; or, if shut up with other prisoners, he would talk them to death in twenty-four hours. The idea of one Yankee journal, that he is to make a tour through New England and hold sweet converse with its inhabitants, would be more humane to him and merciful to mankind. All the old women in that country would die of vexation from not being able to get a word in. The American clown, who boasts that he can talk so fast that it takes echo six months to repeat him, was slow of speech compared with Foote. On the whole, let us hope that Mr. Foote will go to England. The United States is no place for emigrating Confederates. He will find a good many heart-broken exiles in Great Britain, who will like to hear the news from their dear country. He can give them the very latest advices, especially upon one point, which vitally touches their sensitive natures — whether sequestering in England means sequestration in the Confederacy.
