GLEANINGS FROM SOUTHERN MAILS.
TIE MONTGOMERY A6rertise, is violently exercised
shout The TRIBuSY's correspondent at that place,
whom il processes TO name. 1t quotes very largely
from our columns and says:
As no little curiosity and some indignation have been
manifested since it has been announced that TIE n
TRIBUNE had y correspondent at the capital OF
The Confederate States, we append the correspond
nnce and comments thereon from that paper,
ne q mater of sslisfactiOn to our readers. Gree
lsy's correspondent Is understood TO be q GER
tain migratory New York politician, Of southern ma
Eyity and conservative Southern fympalhet-ho
less conspicuous perfOnage than GecrGe N oaaii-
1ers Ii Will be seen that the redOubtatle George
fairly looms on tie magnificent proportions ana
prospects of the Southern Coniederaey IL mas been
shrewdly suspected that he Was here onsome recon
struciJn" eXPedltion-if So, we predlot ae mas re-
ceved cold comfort. But If he always tells the tTlh
ss plsiny and fully is done il these dispatches 10
Tn TRIBUNE we might vouch or lilo az very harm
less, not TO cay highly ustiul lobby member IhE
TRIDUEE evidently does not Ike the glowing account
which tie correspondent gives Of affairs Own here, az
will lie seen from Greeleys comments attached 10 inc
dispatches. If Mr.. Saunders sEould ind no other
business here than TO publish through tie col
tall" of the Confederate States, he would have
accomplished a world Of good. EDITORS OF the
Greeley ilk determined TO keep the North
in utter darkness Oh the capacity and drterlninaon OF
abe South maintain its independence aud hence they
deny and ridicule every gleam Of light that pierces
thei columns. We opine, nothing Will satisfy such
down lefe, and zee and feel and know the terrible
perls which surround them. We shal keep sharp
look out for the Montgomery correspondent OF IhE
TRIBUNE. We must cay, however, that we are de-
Epbted with the tenor If these dispatches, and hope
the Ike may long continue 10 ind place IN Greeleys
paper. But II correspondence 81 tdlse or gVe"s,re

In plain terms, correspondent presumes to
