If atany time We have had misggings shout the
success Of the Confederate States it has not arisen
from any dou5t of the justice of our cause the valor
of our people, and their readiness to promotes the
war in every possible way, but from the manifessa
ton of inertia want of foresight and the spirit Of
partyism in those who conduct the State and Con-
fcderate governments We have not doubted their
patriotic desire to do the best which they supposed
was necessary TO be DONE but facts plainly Indicated
that they had failed up to very short period, 10
realize the ir,mense hazard and danger to which the
South was exposed.
1t affords US sincere qualification to see whole
some change effected In the animuS of the govern
ment in carrying on the war. The appointment of
Gen. Lee as the Commanding General and of Mr..
Randolph az Secretary of War, seems to have put
new springs into the machinery, and we trust the
best results will soon follow. At every point, our
people are rallyIng to the rescue. If the cheering
news from Cornth should be confirmed, we may
look for good news from the Rappahanock and the
Peninsula. The enemy's force is larger, but good
generalShp and brave hearts will go far to neutra-
lie numbers.

interesting news by telegraph:

Of Mobile saws, eve have the enemy in tight place

We learn from another reliable source, that Gen
1,bnston with his command cut through the Fed
orqI force and attacked them in the rear while
E.anrsrarl and Bragg attacked them in front
This news which we nope is all true, turns the tide
,roin in favor of the South, and We may look for
NOR, victories to follow on the heel Of this. May
God grant, that they may be followed up in quick
Succession, until every Yankee is driven beyond
Mason and Dixon'S line.
The news from Yorktown this morning is also IA
vorable We learn that dispatch has been recev-
81 in this City this morning from Richmond, which
states that battle has been in progress for two days
on the Peninsula at or near Yorktown. Nothing
decisive had occurred, but so far the result to
the advantage Of the COniederates.

W We are indebted 10 Che Hons Messrs Dortch
snd Arlington, for copy Of the correspondence be-
tween ga. authorities and the Lincoln authorities
relative to tie exchange of prisoners The gist of
the matter . ties given by the Richmond En-
nmiAer:
"The RUE Of the tfsAeaction is this: Wool in.
forms HageT that he has uTrhori,y TO arrange an
exchange Of prisoners. Ben5rfH accepts The pro-
posal and dFsws up a eartek Commissioners dis
criss Its provisions; but, before they have agreed
to them, the clever Secretary brings forward the
prisoners held By the Confederate Government as
hostages Tor the tresteDt of the priyaeers and SUI,
renders them to the Yankee authorities. Having
gotten the men, DOL FIRST refuses 10 accept the
provisions oil the cartel and when the Confederate
authorities waive the provisions and offer to make
the exchange on his own terms he coolly informs
them that he IS instructed to break OF negotiations
Not one of the Confederates in the prisons of the
North were redeemed; the Yankees held by "a a.
hostages are gone. Mr.. Benjamin relieves his M
dignation in report and enlarges the infamy Of
the transaction. 1t is certainly infamous on .one
side; it is assuredly idiotc on the other The
United States will answer that either party has a
right to break off negotiation which has not been
completed and though their retention of the prison.
ers placed IN their hands under the suppositon that
there would eventually be an exchange, is very per-
fidiouS, yet the Yankee nation will rejoice in the
cuteness of the trick. But where was the need of
so much haste in their surrender? What can ex-
cuse that folly? Before any agreement had been
made, and while not solitary Southern captiyewas
forthcoming, smart man thrlstS his prizes in
the hands OF Wool and stands before him in smiling
expectation of the delightful compliment he viii get
IN Return His ire is hot when he learns that he
has been the dupe and the ninny; the Yankees will
grin; Europe will laugh--for who expected any
other conduct from Yankees-and we might laugh
too, were not fellow citizens and friends left to
weep in the lousy dungeons of the North over this
officials folly"
l; affords another proof, if any other were want
ing, of the perfdy and cunning of Yankeedem-
But will that justify Christian government as
