The South Conqured BY Spectators.

We are seriously fearful that if the government
does not put stop to the extortion and specu.
iation of the country, We shall be a conquered
people in Jess then six months. Flour at $25,
corn at Sc to $40, bacon at 40 to5O cents, salt
at $40 per bushel, cotton cloth at rs cents;
eggs at 40 certs, butter at rs cents, shoes at
$40 to $40! What can hinder the ruin of the
South, at these prices. but special interposi-
ton of Divine Providence.-R Raleigh Stan>

1t is an everlasting shame that whi,e one
portion of our people are off in the army
fighting and suffering for the cause Of the South
another is at home specializing on the necessa-
ries of life, and helping to starve the wives
and children of our soldiers. and making it
a hard matter for people to live. We hope

lii Reviewing the achievements of the Army
during the present campaign, the Commanding
Geueral cannot withhold the expression OF his
admiration of the irdnmitable courage 1t has
displayed in battle, and its cheerful endurance
ut privatien and hardship on the mnrch.
Since your great victories around tlc'lnond
you have defeated the enemy a. Cedar noun

Without halting for repose you crossed the
Pntrm &C. stormed the Heights OF liarper's
Ferry made prisoners IF more tn IN eleven tiou
sand men, and captured upwards OF seventy
pieces Of artillery, all their small arms and
other munitions Of war
While one corps of the army was thus en-
gagged, the other insured its success by arresting
at Bnnlsbro' the combined armies OF the ehe~
my, advancing under their favorlte general, to
the relief of their beeagued com rades.

Achievements such these demanded much
val-r and patriotism. History records few ex

this army has exhibited, and am commission
ed by the President to thank you in the name of
the Confederate States FOR the undylng fame
you have won for their arms.
Much as you have done, much more remains
to be accomplished. The enemy again threat

exploits give assurance that this confidence

He has issued proclamation pretending to eman-

much right to do this the Emperor of Ruseia

which he has sworn faithfully to administer gives
him no power to do so wicked act. But he 81
has no right to do constitutional act IN the

Although Bragg threatened Louisville, his
real purpose was already accomplished when
he heard that Buell. and his army was there to
defend it.
The merits of the whole question is thus
summed up by the Appeal
Bragg has accomplished the best stragetic
move OF the whole war IN the West. He has
caused Buell. to vacate North Alabama and
Middle Tennessee, in order to go to the de-
fence of Louisville.
When Bragg was made aware of this fact
he retraced his steps towards Lexington, and
probably left Buell. to possession of the city.
Ills purpose was accomplished. tie had pos
session of the State of Kentucky, and Buell.
has poss ession Of her chief city. Which has
shown the best generalship? Buell. holds the
city of Louisville, with all its rottenness (be-
cause the good material had gone out before,)
and Bragg has got possession OF the State. lie
has possession of all the producing portion OF
the State, defended by army Of probably
eighty thousand men. He holds the impor-
tant defensble postlons the railroads and
principal thoroughfares, the State capital, and
what is of still greater Importance, has given
the people the State an opportunity OF exhl'
biting their preference for the Confederaey, OF
which they have gladly avaied themselves
Uuder this state Of facts, when General Buell.
comes to retake the State, he will find that he
will have to bring with him at least tour to
one, in order to make his effors successful.
General Buell., last winter drove our forces
out of Kentucky without firing gun we do
not say this in disparagement OF Gen. ohnston,
who, under the necessity of the case, was com
PEELED to pursue the course he did. General
Bragg will never be found in the same posi-
ton as General johnson was. He will be
found in position to maintain himself on
Kentucky soil. and ali the forces that General
Buell. can bring to bear against him, wilt new
er be made of avail
Under our view Of the summing up, then,
, which we give with that diffidence that belongs
to m0desty, we are forced to the opinion lin
the absence OF more correct and definite infor-
mation) that Gen. Bragg has made one OF the
best strategic movements of the war.
Believing this as we DO, conscentiously, we
cannot say there is anything in the recent news
tc discourage our hopes or weaken our resolu>
ton. We have that resolution with which the
people of the South first set out, and that
was that the Southern people were invincible,
and that subjugation by the North would be
the worst calamity that could befall them
Let our people, then, take courage, even from
their calamites, if such they be, ard maintain
! their independence against the Northern an
| KEGS, as they have heretofore on two occasions
done the same thing thing against the powers
of England.
In conclusion, we can only say that we now,
as ever, believe our cause to be in the ascen~
dant, and that we have more reason to be
jubilant than Respondent.

LimcOInss Proclamation i'm East Tens
noSSee.

Hon. Thos. A. R. Nelson, heretofore q
Unionist) has come out in a long address to
the people of East Tennessee, condemnng the
recent proclamation Of Lincoln, and declaring
it the most outrageous act Of usurpatlon ever
contemplated in Europe or America.
He says: | shall feel it my duty to encour-
age the most persevering and det ermned resis-
tance against the tyrants and usurpers OF the
Federal Administration, who have blaste q our
hopes, and are seeking to destroy the last yes,
tage of freedom among Us. Let every man
who is able to fight buckle or his armour, and
without waiting for the slow process of con-
scription, at once volunteer to aid in the strug-
gle against the usurpers. God will not pros
per man or government which heretofore pre-
tended to wage war for the Constitution, but
now throws off the mask and sets it at defiance
The address will have great effect in East
Tennessee, and the distinguished author Will
soon raise regiment. r.
The Richmond Dispatch, after an examina>
ton of the official and authentic reports OF the
late battles. says that our loss in killed and
wounded, from the Rapidan to Harper's Fer
ry, was IL 500. and that our loss at Sharps-
burg was 5000 It states the losses of the
enemy as follows:
