ever accomplished SO much in the "wsys Of
glory" in so short time, as the Confederate
States Of America. France has her ROcroy,
her Marengo, her Austerluz; England has her
Cressy, heT Agincourt, her Waterloo: bat the
Southern ConfsieTstioa-a republic scarce six
months old, latest born OF Tlme-already has
her Great Bethel, Der Oik Hill, and her Man
assss, names OF lusJrous note, now sounding
thr-ush al lands,

The bid, vf anne have flown ~
Names for a djsen.hralled and noble people
to build upon-Dames for the Affections and
the emulation Of great and free people to
cluster around and be proud Of in the coming
years OF a splendid and ever Frightening des-
tiny. And The probabilities are that another
victory is soon 10 be added, brighter than even
these, conclusive in its results, and rounding
of the war to the glory OF God, the psrPetus-
tion Of free principles, ami the establishment
OF The Confederate States on a foundation IS
enduring as the Tock-Tibbed bills.
HYou have doubtless heard OF q great many
"mor.al wounds1 received by our brave sol
disrs at Manassas, which did not after all
prove NOR al; but the most wonderful Instance
OF the kind was related to me by Gen. AuthoTy
Foster, Of Pamela county, Miss, an iHdepen-
dent volunteer fighting that day in the ranks Of
his South Carolina kiHsmen He Gays (and /

Returning from Virginia the other day,
was struck with the pslpable bad management
Of the Virginia and Tennessee railroad. EV-
erybody I saw on tie route complained Of IT.
everybody noticed the Bun5eTless wrecks OF
cars sea tered along the roadside, suggestive
Of frequent collision, TunninS-ch-the-tTack
and sny amount Of carnage. A iaGd slide or
the summit Of the Allegheny ridge, and the
train from Lypcbburg had to stop ~ BIZ /
Ssriaz, eight or ten mites beyond. 1TaaspOr-
tstion around this gap had been provided for
snout ore half the pass Dger5-the rest bad TO
walk: and when we arrived at the Non gomery
White depot, tie regular IRAN hao left! lh=
consequence was, many bad 70 lie down on the
pistfoim and pass the night in the open air,
while others, more entegprsing, walked down

These little circumstances will give you some
idea Of the management of the Virginia and |

one VITO travels over TIE line, can help remark
Ing the difference between the management OF

hugely in favor Of the latter. Tie Memphis I!
