EB- According to the Richmond Dispatch,
based upon the statement of an "intelligent
gentleman who has lately arrived from the
South, - the whole of the Southern country
lis in blaze of patriotic enthusiasm" Men
of all ages are fastening to the field, and the
Government is invoked to keep pace with the
energy Of the people. In another article the
Dispatch states that by the last of April the
Confederates will have larger disposable
force in the field than the Federals. In this,
however, the writer's hopes evidently cloud
his judgment, for he assumes that it Will take
two hundred thousand men to guard Mary
land and the city Of Washington.

DEATH.

DEPARTED this life, on the End instant, al
the residence OF Mr.. BENJAMIN WHITE, near
Poolesvitle Miss SUSAN A. GoTT, daugh-
ter of the late RrcHARD, SEN, and MARY e.
Corr, in the 2lst year of her age
Death Is penalty which the law Divine in
ficts upon nature. The inevitable hour comes
for all. That measure of Time came not TO this
lovely young lady, when disease had racked
her physical nature, or weakened the energies
Of her elastic mind, which, combined, might
have made death a welcome visitor; but 1t
broke upon her in the vigor Of her life, when
all her fond ambitons--all her noble and ge-
nerous impulses were active, hope seemed to
be decking scenes for her enjoyment, or weav-
ing garlands of beauty for her domestic hap
piness; but, unfortunately, she was taken with
this new disease, that is stalking amongst us,
called the "spotted fever" with unparalleled
fatality.
She was admired by all who knew herr
and those who knew her best, loved her most
She bore, to the last moment, the character OF
mildness, which constituted the principal trait
Of her existence. She passed from this world
without struggle--leaving n memory that
will ever be cherished--a memory which, like
the setting sun, reflects the most beautiful rays
on all that is good, noble and admirable in
human nature. With truth we may say,
though affections weep--heayen rejoices.

gaS- The Richmond Examiner is satisfied
that the number of Confederates, taken at Fort
Donelson, has been greatly exaggerated by
General Grant in his official report, but it
does the latter the grace to believe that he has
been really deceived by others. 1t is of opin-
ion that the effective force at fort Donelson,
did not exceed ten thousand men, and cites
the Northern journals in proof of the fact that
only six thousand prisoners were accounted
for. Most of the Confederate troops at Fort
Donelson, We are told, were sixty days men,
raw militia from Tennessee and Kentucky,
who became completely demoralizcd after
three days hard fighting. The Examiner sees
hope for the South in the recent enlistment of
troops for the war instead of the short terms
Of ervice.

E8- The naval engagement Of Saturday
aud Sunday hist, seems to have created great
alarm from Washington to New York In
Washington there was great fear that the
monster Merrimac would ascend the Potomac,
and to prevent this, it is said that large num-
Der of canal boats, loaded with stone, were
sunk in the river at Fort Washington. 1t is
said that there was quite panicin New York,
for fear that the Merrimac would come north
and shell the city. 1t is remarkable that the
Cumberland, that was sunk by the Merrimac,
should have been the vessel, which, in. April
last, burnt the navy yard near Norfolk, and
sunk the Merrimsc. AS Shakespeare says:
q Time was that when the brains were out the
man would die;
But now they rise and push us from our stools
AT least, it seems to be SO with the Cumber-
lapd and Merrimac.
