ore this war is over. General Lee, great man that he is, is neither infallible, omniscient nor omnipotent. General Washington often lost battles, and was often the victim of misconstruction and misrepresentation at the hands of his friends. Let us not waste all our breath at the beginning of General Lee's new career, but retain a portion of it to sustain him at the pinch of the hill. Let us show our admiration and confidence by holding up his hands, by strengthening his armies, by refraining from the croaking that would paralyze his soldiers, by putting down the spirit of extortion and greed, and pouring out cheerful contributions of material aid to the cause.--The Government has given us General Lee as the Commander-in-Chief--now let the people do their part and give General Lee the public spirit and unselfish patriotism of 1861. Then, with the blessing of Heaven, we may look forward as confidently to the achievement of Confederate Independence as the rising of to-morrow's sun.

We need say nothing to inspire confidence in such a leader. But perhaps we ought to say something to prevent that confidence from becoming idolatry; to invoke the people of the Confederacy not to put their trust in man, whose breath is in his nostrils, but to place their only reliance upon that Divine hand which controls the destinies of nations, and which has hitherto been interposed so wonderfully in our behalf; that G
