From the Richmond Dispstehl
If glory is the sweetest reward of the soldier,
It must be some consolation TO our brave troops
to know that the whole world is ringing with
praises Of the heroism and fighting qualities OF
the Southern armies. In the midst of their m
parAlleled priyatiOns sud tolls, and, in the face
Of their brutal and malignant fee, it must afford
seine satisfaction that The whole human race is
locking upon them with wonder and admiration.
Like the warriors Of Christianity, they are en-
compassed by a cloud Of witnesses, who scan
with eager eyes the records Of their courage and
self denial, and repeat 20 the world .Tith glowing
Lips the stery of their fame These noble spirits,
who pass Us every day in such humble guige-
these uapTetending noblemen Of nature, Who do
not seem conscious that they are performing
actions Of any extraordinary merritt it Is q lit
era truth that we have never heard since this
war commenced a single Southern officer az
soldier speak IN a boastful tone of any battle in
which he had been engaged, ARE making q
history that viii Cash down the tide OF time g
lustsT Of gloTy and selfsscrihce that neither
Greece nor Rome ever surpassed. Ii is no ordi-
nary hsroism that draws from theLond0n Times

measure their phrases carefully and never deal
IN extravsgsEt compliment, such lsudsHOns- as
those we lstely published. The Times says
The people Of the Confederate States have
mad themselves famous. If the TeuOwn Of
brilliant courage, stern devotion to p cause, and
military schiey ements almost without q psrsl-
lei, can compensate men for the toll and priva-
ti0ns Of the hour then the e0untTymen Of Lee
and jackson may be c0nsOled amid their suffer
ings. From al parts OF EdTope, from their en-
emies as well as their friends, from those who
condemn their acts well as those who sympa-
thize with them, comes the tribute of admira-
ton. When the history Of this war is written
the admiration will doubtless become deeper and
stronger, for the vel which has covered the
South viii be drawn away and disclose pie
ture cf patriotism, of unanimous self-sacrIGce,
Of wise and firm administration, which We can
now only see indisdnctly. The details Of that
extraordinary national effort which has led to
the repulse and almost 80 the distraction Of an
invadng force Of mere than half a million men,
viii then become known TO the world, and,
whatever msy be the facts of the new national
ity, or its subsequent claims to the respect Of
mankind, it will sssuredly begin its career with
q reputation for genius and Valor which the
most famous nations may envy"
Such is the homage which Southern valor and
patriotism have extorted from the most inteili-
gent and influential organs Of public opinion Ia
the old world, from men vel versed in the
history of ancient and modern times, who, ia
every syllable that they hsEs uttered, have AZ
iicipated, We are perfectly sure, the unanimous
verdict Of pOsteTity Il is no ordinary waller
and virtue fRat have caused the Old Lion Of 1
England, whose roar has so often shaken the
world to look on in wonder and admiration.
Even tho rabid organ Of English Gboiitionisrs,

most Esrhsrous Of mankind. excIaims repeatedly.
50 they viii fight We should esteem that,
however, no compliment at all, if the allegation
Of the Nel5S were true, that the South is " lhe
most barbarous Of maAkind." How little the
Nea5s knows of Che Southern people, or how
reckless il is Of truth when il speaks thus Its
source Of knowledge as well as lis inspirations
Of sentiment are purely Northern, or it could
never speak thus Of q people whose virtues IN
domestic life are equal TO their pr0wess IN
the field, and whose generosity, unso'hshuess,
and hospitality have long ago passed into pro
verb Even Ia the cOGduct OF the present war,
if they bad not been the most civilized, instead
Of the most barbarous people Of the world, they
would have hoi5ted the black hag at the begin
ming of this abominshle invasion, and demanded
an eye for an eye and life for life, instead Of
continuing TO adhere 30 the rules Of regular
BaTfare in the face Of such prociamatioas as
those Of Butler and Pope, and such deeds as the
hanging of MunfOId We hope aud believe that
the time viii come when the moderation and
humanity of the South viii be as well uRdeT-
stood as its chiyAlry ana heroism.

ExPediiisa up Nav River.
We have been kindly furnished says the Ss-
vannah AeIcS, with the following extract from a
private letter to gentlemaa in this city:
On Tuesday morning two steamers, sfler
firing single guns over night, for the benefit Of
q large gang Of negroes making their way 10
Hilton Head, began sheling about eight o clock
IN the morning Landing force at Hunting
island, they advanced to Button, where they
landed some six hundred Uen. They then con
tinued up the river sheliing vigorously. and
snchOred of the fine Gothic residence Of n. p. \
Crowell; in ihs meantime the force previously
landed made their way along the banks of the
liver til intercepted by the creek at Buck island
when they took to the public road to Mr. 3
gate, marching down the avenue four abreast to
he house
1t was evident the expedition had been gotten
lp to pillsge this place, and to take away and
iestrOy every thing left In Blufton. They i'm

catching up the articles and running in a Dog |

smashing the salt works, and rifling the house |

Mr.. Q. Is a non-combataRt, being seventy /
years Of age, wss living quietly on bis place, al 1
his negroes being with the Yankees. They Of |
Tered Che old negro money to tell where any

that deserted village, even going into the chapd
Of the Cross and utterly destroying the organ
