POPULAR IDEA ABOUT TUE WAR-The
Richmond Whig says We believe that if it
was put to the vote of the southern people to
prescribe how the war should be conducted, on
our part in future, at least ninety in every hun
dred-Inen and wamen-wOuld favor the imms-
diate concentration Of a large army upon our
frontier, to march North and bring the war home
to the Yankees, BY devastating their country
and occupying, if not destroying Philadelphia
New York, and Boston. The prevailing belief
is that this would prove the only sure method OF
conquering peace, or of obtaining indemnity
for the past, and security for the future"

TIE ENEMY's Loss AT SHHoH.-We learn
that throughout the Northwest Grants statement
as to the Federal loss at Shiloh is universally be-
Eeved to be false. Recent and more authentic
adv.ces have induced the belief that the loss IN
killed wounded, and missing was over u, ,OOO-
and that the army Of Grant and Buell. had IFS
available fighting force, including the details
made to take care of the wounded reduced
nearly 10000! At Shiloh the enemy received
the heaviest blow of the wsT-as viii appear IN
history when facts now unknown come 10 light.
EEy7 Never since the world began, remarks the
Wilmington On. c. Journal, was such desPer-
ate and reckless effort made as that which the
Lincoln government is now making. Nothing
TO compare with its wasteful expenditure is to be
found in the records of Oriental or Roman des-
potsm; nothing in the history of the British
struggles against Napoleon, when Pitt organized
coalition after coalition and subsidized in turn
all Europe, outside of France. The picture is a
gloomy one, but well worthy Of study. 1t is
evidently the spasmodic and exhsusting energy of
fever which must result IN depression and feeble
mass, but there Is no denying the fact that,
while it endures, this energy calls for the EN-
ployment of almost sUperhuman powers of resist
ance upon the part OF those against whom il is
directed.

They received a reinforcement of sew
en- thousand men from Crump's Eaud:

they attacked with vigOr.
They fought b,avely. but the GOnfed-

About 10 o'clock A. M. further rein
