GnEELY RsrLErs.-The following ex-
tract from a. elaborate leader in the
Tribune, i an explicit confession Of the
utter hopelessness Of the Northern cause :
This contest is destined to be more
%protracted than was generally anticipat-
ed. at it, commencement. That the South
is inferior to the North in some import
an. particulars and especially in money
and credit, and though her maritime re-
sources, her mechanical appliances, and
her man ufactures, are slender, yet she
abounds in brave men, accustomed to
the use Of arms, and reckless Of life
She has some Of the best military engin-
eers in the country, and some Of the
xblest officers who have led our troops
in recent wars. Though cut of from
her usual supplies 10 the North, and
hemmed ia on her sea coast, she viii,
by c~ultivating seIfreliance, make desper-
ate exertions to supply these serious de-
f~iciencies. Rely upon It, the naughty,
imperious, impassioned South will hold
out in this contest to the extremely.
Hence the struggle on her part will
be desperate, having no parallel in any
wal on the American continent during
this century. Having staked all upon
tie hazard Of the die, her statesmen
and captains cannot afford to be beaten.
Davis, Tombs, Rhett, Yancey, Mason,
Stephens, Cobb Letcher, Hunter, Benja-
min, Pickins and civilians of hat class,
and Twiggs, Bragg, Bauregard, Johns
ton, Lee, Magruder, Pillow, and soldiers
like them, with thousands Of other men
Of high repute and great influence wust
succeed in this rebellion, or either sue
for pardon, OF Be put to death as traitors,
or fee from their native land forever
They will struggle for victory with the
energy of despair. Though they are
destined to be overthrow in the end,
yet let the North not beguile itself with
the delusion hat they will not fall with
harness on their backs, and with their
faces to the fee. Unless We beat an in
glorious retreat, there is serious work be-
fore US.

T1MEIr.-Ws find the following SEN
sible " talk" in the vicksburg Wing Of
Saturday last:
Some persons here in Mississippi seem
to be impatient At what they deem a
culpaM delay on the part Of the Con-
federate States in precipitating \ dec;-
sive battle. Such persons seem to think
that campaigns can be plarned in an
hour and executed in 4 day! A little
reflection will convince them that great
military combinations are necessarily
slow in development. Reflect upon the
ten thousand acts to be performed, IN
arming. equipping. transporting and
drilling troops, and it viii be seen that
everything is going on prosperously.--
Have patience, good friend !! and we will
fog our vile oppressors soon enough.
In this connection We remark that
there are certain cl'imney-corner generals,
sitting down at home, who have a pro.
cliyity for censuring certain military
movements. They are free TO declare,
"this is wrong" that ought to be
done, certainly" Warlike operations
and military combinations constitute a
great whole-a mighty system sc;entifi-
call, each part connected, and all look
ing to final results TO be produced by the
working out Of the system. Much Of
the plan is necessarily secret. II is ali
surd, therefore, for a mere civilian, unin-
lated in the details Of the campaign, and
unskilIed in military science, to be lavish
in censuring that which he has not COM
pretended, and thus impugn the capaci.
ty Of the noble chieftains who guide our
armies through the p%erilous conflict in
which we are engaged. Let US all have
faith and confidence in our government,
aud hoping that all is for the best, zeal
ously aid in the glorious work in which
We are engaged.
