EIGHT GREAT BlUNDEPs.-We give
below an article from the columns Of
:he Religious Herald, a Baptist paper,
Of Richmond, Va. It shows SO much
mere GOODNESS Of Judgment and candor
OF mind than we are in the habit Of
finding in our southern exchanges,
that we deem it worthy of special no.
tlcc. It says tAe South has made at
least eight great blunders, and emu
merates them as follows:
!. In firing upon Fort Sumter.
2. In believing there would be a d.
vided North and an apathetic Federal
Government.
| 8. In believing that they would have
the hearty sympathies of Europe.
4. In believing that the bonds of the
Confederacy would be readily taken in
Europe.
5. In believing that the military
power of the North would be directed
IN a crusade against slavery, rather
than employed for the overthrow of
treason and the establishment of the
Union and the Constitution.
6. In believing that northern cour-
age and physique were no match for
j'southcrn, or that in battle one south
erner equallcd five Yankees.
| 7. In believing that the flag Of the
cotton oligarchy would wave above
the capitol at Washington, and the roll
Of slaves be called on Bunker Hill.
s. In believing that the fancied ON
impotence Of cotton would dcnominate
the commerce of the world.

THE Next POINT OF ATTACK
Fort DoneISor being taken, the next
point Of attack is ClarksyilIe, Tenn,
y place Of some four or five thousand
inhabitants, on the east bank Of the
Cumberland river, at the mouth Of Red
river, and the crossing Of the Memphis
and Ohio Railroad. A correspondent
Of tho New York Tribune, writing
from Nashville early in January, stat
ed that for some weeks defensive works
of an extensive character had been
constructing at GAINESVILLE, large
force of whites and negroes being en-
gagged. Over thirty guns had been
mounted at Clarksyille at that time,
and more were being sent forward
If the rebels make stand GAINESVILLE
will probably be more difficult tc take
than was Fort Donelson, from which
It is distant some thirty miles Beyond
that the way is open to Nashville, if it
IS not before taken by the column from
Bowling Green. 1t is said that the pc
caliar location of Nashville IS such that
It cannot be successfully fortified. -

HUNTER AND LANE.-From present
appearances We Judge that neither of
the Generals propose to play second
fiddle to the other, and in consequence
the much talked of Expedition seems
to stand where it did month ago
Hunter wants 100000, which the
Government says he can't have, to sup
port his army, while Lane says he will
make it support itself. The President
did not apprehend any difficulty would
arise between the two Generals, but
supposed they would arrange matters
amlcably between themselves, which
it seems they cannot do. The Presi-
dent had better remove them to other
fields, and put man there who would
in the classic language Of Old Abe
''put it through while they are debat-
ing the question as to who shall com

GFN. CRITTENDON IL TROUBLE

Cd account OF trcachery on the part OF
Gen. Crittendon, Of the southern ar
my, in endeavoring to transmit to the
northern army papers revealing the
character Of the rebel Notifications at
Mill Spring, the number of troops, the
amount Of provisions on hand, &c
The papers, it says, were entrusted to

sued and shot, and the papers recover
ed. 1t also says that Crittendon WAS
arrested and is now a prisoner. The
Nashville Gazette attributes the defeat
of the Confederates and the death OF
Zollicofiiar to the drunkenness of Crit

ton, says: ave shall feel some little
establishment If this my eStigation does
not also connect with Crittcndon's
crime of drunkenness the greater sins

The r. r. Whistle Again.

There was meeting Of some of our
citizens on the evening Of Monday, the
18th inst, at Hurley's Hall, to discuss
and determine what action the county
should take for the purpose of secur-
ING Rail Road to run to this place.
A Bill for presentation to the Leg
i5laturc was presented to the meeting
and, after some amendment, approx
cd, to authorize the county TO issue its
bonds in sum not to exceed $4,000,
to assist in grading a track for a road
from this place. The Bill provides
that the amount should be expended
exclusively under tho direction of the
county Board Of Supervisors, and that
before any bonds shall be issued the
question shall be submitted to vote
of the people. 1t is carefully drawn
and, we think, embraces what tie &C
ton of the county should ue III the
premises.
A petition to the Legislature for the
passage Of the Bill has been circulat
ed and largely signed by our citizens
We understand that Mr. ]. y. Wit
ter is going to Madison to represen
to our Solons the wishes of our pco
pic in this matter.
