BRIGADIER GENERALs.-The papers state that the
Confederate Senate has confirmed the appointments
of A. P. Hill and j. Johnston Pethgrew, both of N
Carolina, as Brgadier Generals. The appointment
of COL Pettigrew is an excellent one-who A. p.
Hill or A. B. Hill is, as some Of the papers have it.
We do not know. The appointment of Gen. D. H.
Hill was confirmed some time ago, but as to the
gentleman named, we conclude he must belong to
some other State.

full accounts of her. She left England and sailed
for Bermuda. Near that Island she took Yankee

and burnt her. She soon left Bermuda and steamed
for Beaufort, encountering no difficulty until she
met the blockading vessels off Beaufort harbor.-

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT I've have been rather
disposed to think the Richmond papers were cap
tious and inclined to complain unnecessarily of the
government at Richmond in their frequent illusions
to the fact that Yankees and foreigners of doubtful
character and who were really in the interest of
Lincoln, were employed in the several departments
there Gen. Winder who has charge Of the pris-
oners, has been severely ceasured at different times
and the employment of such persons in the War
Department has been palpably charged time and
again.
The improperly and recklessness Of such course
were so manifest that we supposed 1t impossible
that there could be good foundation for such charges
But recent developments show that these charges
are not baseless. recent Baltimore american. an
out and out Lincoln paper, publishes the following
LATEST FROM RIcHMoSD-We had most inter-
esting conversation yesterday With George W..
Walker, of Waynesboro, Pa, one of the released
prisoners. He was taken seven months since whilst
a visit to Virginia and has acted clerk in the
Quartermasters Department at Richmond, perform
ing all duties in connection with the prisoners thus
securing parole that enabled him to mix freely with
the citizens and soldiers.
He brings with him many unmistakable eviden-
ces of the fact that there exists in Richmond and
the vicinity, strong and gallant band of Union
men, who arc willing and anxious at the proper
moment to welcome the old flag, and fight, if neces.
sary, to sustain its supremacy. They requested
him to make the fact known to the government that
they claim to be three thousand strong, and that
full regiment of drilled volunteers can be raised at
an hours notice The Union ladies' are also very
numerous, and have freely expended their means in
succoring and comforting the sick and wounded
Federal prisoners. Mr.. Walker brings with him
beautiful gold and ena mel chain, which was presen-
ted to him oy party Of ladies on the eve of his
departure
Now what can be expected but defeat and ruin,
if such state of things be allowed, even under
the very nose of the government

The War.

The proportions of the war spread and grow i'm
mensey both by land and sea. To burst asunder and
free ourselves from the coils of the boa constructor
demands united, prompt and vigorous effort. The
contest as it advances may increase in violence and
severity but having committed our destiny to the
events of an unnatural and wicked war, we must
do our utmost. Reverses We may expect, even
under the wisest management and that they should
have occurred under the circumstances which sur
round us, need not be matter of wonder. True
courage does not waver under misfortune, nor will
a wise prudence allow to sit down and lament
our losses We must be up and doing. The coun-
try expects every man to do his duty, and he who
faters at time Ike this recreant to her welfare.
President Davis, very strangely to US, felictates
himself and the country, upon the small amount
(s17ooOo ooO) expended during the first year of the
Confederacy. Better had it been double that sum-
if we had the arms, the munitions of war, the men,
and the iron-clad steamers, to show for it. Two
things have gone farther to bring US into our pres
ent plight, than all things else besides. First, the
fatalistc blindness, which led the Southern authors
of the revolution to contend at first, and to act
upon it, that we should have war; and then after
it began, that it was to be short war. Secondly,
the fear of spending money to prepare for the 'cGr.
lest it might endanger the popularity of the party
who claimed the right to manage it, with the masses
Of the people.
The sequel has shown, that these have been two
fatal errors,-errors of which they were faithfully
and perssten,ly admonished by those who sought
to preserve the Union as long as it could be done
with honor to the South-errors, which the COM
monest foresight might and ought to have guarded
against But let the past teach US lesson. The
whole strength Of the enemy will be arrayed ag inst
us. We are fighting powerful, numerous and un.
scrupulous enemy. Let the South no longer close
Its eyes to this fact and let every energy be put
forth to meet the blows which he will strike at
every point
