George Rice Grcgoire Jones, son of a gentle
tleman now in Fort Lafayette, has changed

Tae candid and honest manner in which the
southern journals at once ackno wledged the
extent of the disaster ut. Som erset-And in
fact rather overstated it--presents . signif-
cant contrast to the continual falsehoOds with
which the North has endeavored to conceal
every defeat, and even claimed every defeat
as victory. With the single exception of
Manassas, where their overthrow was 50
overwhelming, and 90 near the centre
of intelligence that it could not be con-
,radcted, they have not suffered one single
disaster which they did not deny at the time,
and never admitted their discontinue till the
truth forced its own way TO the public. Bethel,
Bah Run, Carnifax Ferry, Greenbrier River,
Springfield, Belmont, Leesburg, Allegheny,
each and all were absolutely claimed AZ
Northern victories, aud each and all, in the
end, they were compelled to acknowledge
were disastrous defeats. Why ia 1t that this
uniform system of deceptionas exhibited by
tho North, whilst the South admits the truth
boldly, however disagreexble it may be 1t
results simply from radical difference IN the
character Of the two people. The one Is sly,
secretive, and has little veneration for truth !;
tho other open and above board, and more
sensitive to the degradation of falsehood than
the pain of disaster. Which character Is
worthiest of success Which will be most
likely to win the approval Of Heaven and the
