no. Mutterings Of discomfort are be-
ginning to reach Us from the North, poin-
ted at the supposed ineficielccy Of Rosen-
Grams. Scott, Mcdowell and Fremcnthave
all been the victims of seemingly tickle
populaoe, and Mcclellan himself is not
safe Nor should this be wondered at
when we consider the policy pf the Ad-
ministration and its adherents in the be-
ginning Of this revolutiaa They took es-
pecial pains TO impress upon the popular
mind the belief that the uprising Of the
South was but an insignificant insurrection
that would he quelled into submission by
the mere appearance of an armed force
This the people of the North tho'twas the
truestate of the case, and when, under this
false impression, they had furnished men
and money to the full extent demanded,
and still week after week elapsed, and de-
feat followed defeat, they could arrive at no
other conclusion than that the incompeten.
cy of their officers was the sole cause of
the failure to crush, at once, contempti-
BILE instruction. Had they told the peo-
pie that the rebellion was formidable one,
and that it would require time and all the
power of the North to put it down, they
might have patiently borne the delay and
the reyerses which have marked the oper-
atoms of the Federal army. But the
falsehoods propagated, in the beginning,
have recoiled upon the heads of the mill,
ny chieftains, and nothing but prompt and
successful forward movements can long Sc.
cure to those new in command continu-
ance of popular favor. That cheating ne.
yer thrives, is fully verified in the case Of
the Generals who have be en- sacrificed on
the altar of public opinion and until the
North is convinced that it is the strength
of the South which defies its power and
prolongs the revolution, Northern Gener.
ais need expect nothing but distrust Of
their ability, and brief enjoyment of pop.
ular favor.

peA- We copy FROM the Richmoud Ex-
aminer very sensible article ON the inn
portauce of GAINESVILLE to the Confederate
States, and the necessity for strongly
defending it. Months ago the New York
Herald urged upon Lincoln the importance
of securing this point as the key to the
Southwest, as well as being the source of
unlimited supplies of corn. -four, pork,
beef and iron and the movements of the
Federals on the lower Cumberland, au-
thorize the supposition that they are
preparing to occupy it. We have, more
than once, called attention to our unde-
Tended position, and attempted to prove to
the powers that be, that the defense of this
place is indispensable to the security of
Memphis-hopingSto accomplish our OBJ
ject by arousiug their fears for the safety
of their pet near the mouth of Wolf river,
But whilst the Herald was urging the sell
zure of Clarksville, and the Examiner was
descanting upon its Importance to the
South, and we were exposing its defense
less condition, the importantfact was over
looked, that there are hosts of able bodied
men in GAINESVILLE and Montgomery coun-
ty who, foreseeing the desperate struggle
for the possession of this point, curbed
their impetuous ardor for immediate fight,
and reserped themselves as an impregnable
wall of defense around our devoted city,
Could the editors of the Herald and Ex-
aminer look upon this host of brawny
young men, hear their warlke tread, see
the light of fierce determination that burns
in their eyes, and listen to their brave
words pointed with Scnsiiern devo-
ton and implacable hatc Of all Yanteedom,
the one would cease to hope for the occu-
patton of GAINESVILLE, and the other to fear
for its safety, The gunboats know with
whom they have to deal, and are aware
that the passage Of the battery below is a
trife when compared with the dangers to
be encountered here. Our Generals, at
and near Bowling Green, cast no look Of
apprehension behind them, because they
know that our gallant reserve stands as a
wall of fire between them and danger, and
that, should the enemy approach, gener-
Gus rivalry would stimulate each one Of
them to be the first at Bowling Green to
announce the startling news.

sA~ The victory at Leesburg is one of
the most brilliant yet won by the Confed-
crate arms, and, considering the odds
four to one-the most fatal to the enemy
whose loss is about two thousand, whilst
ours is twenty eight killed and seventy
eight wounded. We shall never know,
however, the extent of the enemy's loss,
as there is no way of ascertaining the
number killed in the river, or the number
drowned. Mcclellan said there should be
no more Bull Runs, but Leesburg run
will be as well, and he had better look out
for a successor.

SA- A dispatch from jeff. Thompson S

surrounded by overwhelming numbers, in
the vicinity of Pilot Knob. but rely upon
their knowledge of the country for es-
cape A subsequent account from the Fed
eral side, says that the Hessians have
gained victory over Thompson +; but as
they make out poor showing for them
selves, we expect, from the Confederate re-
port, to learn that JEFF. Thompson has
made gallant fight against heavy odds and
that the enemy, under show of victory
have really suffered a defeat.

ESs~ We have marked, with some inter
est, the reasonable course of Nat. Wolf, Of
Louisville, because we we were raised to-
gether, and lived, for years. on terms Of
the closest intimacy, and frequently recall
the gusto with which he usedto sing "Bar-
ney let the gals alone" He is a circum-
cised Jew, and may be a lineal descendant
of Judas--inheriting the proclivity of his
distinguished ancestor for receiving gold
in exchange for the basest treason. We
had hoped better things of Nat, but pre-
sumo the beast is true to his instincts.

B@- The Northern Government, it
seems, has sent $1,000 to England, and
will soon send 100000 more, to buy clio
thing for the army. We had no idea that
the enemy was so badly provided with ma
terials which we had supposed to be abun-
dant But this fact discloses a state of
things very encouraging to the South, and
when taken in connection with the enor-
nous debt already contracted, and the in
timation in Stewards Circular, that the
Government is too poor TO fortify the
Northern seaboard we are compelled to
infer that the North is greatly straitened
and must, ere long, give up contest which
can not be waged on credit.

nsa The storv Of the affair at Eddyvin

neA- The story of the affair at Eddyville
has gone through many editions, each with
its own variations but the true one, as
far as we can learn from parties present is
that our loss is two men and five or six
horses killed, and some eight or ten of the
latter strayed or stolen. The Lincolnites
lost, in killed, some five or six, and the
prisoners taken by them were unarmed
citizens. Both parties ran, and hence the
difficulty of arriving at facts. The odds
against us was very great, and, under the
circumstances, the victory is ours,
Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1857-1865, 1861-11-01

saA- There seems to be generally pre-
vailing belief that the enemy is about to
make strong effort to enter Tennessee
through Cumberland Gap for the purpose
of possessing the East Tennessee and Vir-
ginia railroad, and upon this supposition
the press of those two States is calling
loudly for reinforcements for Gen. Zolli-
Golfer. If the case be as stated, we pre-
sumo that it has not escaped the observa-
ton of those in authority, and that steps
have already been taken to meet the enemy
with force sufficient to thwart his designs
and to drive him back across the Ohio
We have all confidence that Gen, Zollicof-
fer knows the emergencies of his position
and that, through him, the Government is
kept posted.

pey- The Cincinnati Iis,,ouirer Is bcrt;fl.

ssy- The Cincinnati Enquirer is hcrri6-
ed at the elopement Of beautiful and cd
ucated white girl, Of eighteen, with au Ill
shaped negro, Of forty. Where, the men
all love the negro so dearly, it is not sur
prising that woman occasionally mani
tests the same depraved taste. The truth
is, the men and women of the North are
alike corrupt, degraded. and the annals OF
the civilized world present no parallel to SO
sudden transformation of seemingly
civilized, christian and moral people into
brutes and savages.

seA. The latest accounts from Western
Virginia are somewhat contradictory and
leave us in doubt as to the facts. One &C.
count represents Floyd as having entered
Kentucky, and another, as moving down
the Kanawha in order to get in the rear of
Rosencrans. One report says that Rosen-
Grams has gone to Kentucky. and another,
that he has returned to Cheat Mountain
One account says that Lee and Loring will
advance upon the Dutchman as soon as
Floyd accomplishes his movement, and an
other, that Loring has gone to Greenbrier
Camp to make it his winter quarters
These varied reports show that the move
ments of the parties are somewhat envel-
oped in mystery which few days may
clear up.

peA- The Yankees are raising howl
over the death of Col, Baker, at Leesburg,

clared in the Senate, at Washington, that
little blood letting was the true remedy
for Southern discomfort, and the expert
ment has been tried on his own person.
He merited his fate, and We rejoice at his
death, as much as old Abe, is said to grieve
over it.
