THE discOvcryOt popular feeling In the
heart Of the South made by Com. FoOts's
naval explorations, l. most important aud
encouraging more 80 than the recent
great vSctorieset Roanoke, Fort Henry aud
Fort Donelson. ItisalmoSt the only gem
uine revelation We have had Of the real
state OF things in the South for many
months. Reeolleetiug how secession was

Thsse hopes have been sustained by the
accounts Of numerous refugees from the
South, who insisted that the Union feeling
was only silsnced but not dsstroyod.-
stll 1t was evident that the spparon,
strength aud success OF the tp1urssstI6n,
and the long delay of the Governments,
through weary months of preparations, to
make an exhibition of its real power, had
diBhea:teaed the Union men of the South.
andlmHny of them had given Ia their ad-
hesion 70 the G0uEedesaey because they
felt thar II had Virtnally established Itself,
and they did not wish 70 be enemies TO the
Government under which they must me-
csssarily live. It was, therefore, to be
feared that the Unionism of the South had
been moro than Gileneed; that il had been
70 . great extent destroyed, aud that there
had eometn be substantial unanimity os
the Southern people in the support OF the
rebellion.
The discoveries made In Southwestern

The experience zoe have already lad has demon.
cased and strongly Jash eMaLoats Of TIE enemy BY
1he cannon Of forts. While large ships of war
may be easily repealed and destroyed by the fire
Of forts, these small boats, with few guns, and
secured by iron classmates, can approach near to
the object Of assault, defy the heaviest artille-
ry, and throw shells into an open fort, which
will render it untenable. The only efficient
mode Of resisting and defeating such craft, in
the absence Of like vessels on our part, 10 to
board and capture them.
That is it undoubtedly. The way for the re-
bells to take the gunboats is to 60 close up to

This is as bright a proposition as to salt the

from 5000 to 1000 men killed and wounded
on both sides. But the enemy surrendered on

DaUNkENHEss IN THI REBEL ARNY.-Whisky
Whisky! Whisky!l! In the cars, at the shantiea
at the groceries, at the GROCERIES, 10 village
taverns and city hotels-whi.kyl
Officers with gold lace wound In astonishing
involutions upon their arms, private soldiers in
simple honlespun, aud civilians in broadcIotb,
all seem to drink whisky with persistent energy
and perseverance,. They drink it, too, in guam
tities which would astonish the nerves of cast
iron lamp post, and Of q quality which would
destroy the digestive organs Of an ostrich. II
did nothing worse than shatter nerves and i'm.
pair digestion, this widespread vice would de-
mand legislative action. But these copious H.
basions degrade the officers, demoralize the sol.
diers and debase civilians. O! these three class.
es there are two whose misconduct deserves the
severest censure; we allude to officers and civil.
ians who forget their duties so far as to indulge
in this brutalizing vice.
The military officer is bound to set in himself
q good example, and to enforce it upon his men,
while the private citizen owes duty to himself
and society which he violates with every de-
bauch. Nor are the private soldiers without
blame, but the censure which falls upon them
rebounds in part against company oficers.-
These denunciations of a vice which seems to bs
increasing in it's Developments, may seem harsh
truth ID often unpleasant 70 hear; IN TINS case u
is unpleasant to tell, but the public safety d.
mands that the vice in question should be re-
buked and reformed. For 1t is fact which the
press should neither palliate or conceal, that
whisky which is no more akin to rye than rye
is to coffee-whisky Of the unauthorized tangls-
foot thanksgiving distilation, is guzzled down
in manner alike revolving to public deeeney
and the general good.
How, pray, can field and brigade officers be
held responsible for the vices OF their men when
at every corner there lie q masked battery Of
whisky barrels? The fault that these are plant
cd to commit havoc among our men 10 charges
BILE to the civic administration, and the civic sd
should be held responsible. The
