troops. Time was, it says, when such calls
were looked upon with fear in the South,
but now they are regarded with pleasure
| After expressing the belief that SoO,oOO
men never can be obtained, it says the de
claration of Lincoln that his object is to
reinforce our victorious armies in the field,
is ludicurous enough in view of the actual
facts, and will impose upon nobody. The
Yankee nation, Of all other nations, IS
the last to be cheated into danger by such
clap trap declaration. Indeed, Lincoln
has done his worst. He can never, hereat-
ter, do US as much harm as be has done
heretofore. We have seen and felt the full
extent of his power, and with the assist.
ance Of Providence, we have been enabled
to withstand it without so much as finch
ing If he has faileo to subdue US hereto
fore, he cannot do it hereafter, even with
the assistance of Great Britain, which, un-
der the auspices of Lord Russell, seems to
have thrown off the mask and come forth as
our avowed enemy. The force which we
now have in the field is nearly equal to that
of the Yankees, and as tigbtirgmon, 's in
every way superior to them. That the
Yankees cannot greatly increase their force
becomes every day more and more evidont,
and it is not sufficient to subdue the Con
federacy. What their Congress may do to-
ward retaining in the ranks the men who
are already there, we cannot, Of course,
foresee. 1t would b. i'll gal to detain them;
but the Yankee Congress- never allows law
to stand betweop them and the accomplish
ment of purpose. Let their action be
what it may-let the men be dismissed or
retained-they still have not force large
enough to accomplish their purpose, nor
are they likely ever to have one.

Rebel Sketch of General Thorn

From the Memphis Daily Appeal, Oct. 2l
George Thomas, who is put in command
of Rosecrans' army proper, is Virginian,
and comes from the neighborhood Of Lynch
burg. He is fat, beefy man Of forty, and
in the old army was. considered as little
better than a numbskull. In Texas, before
the war he was Lieutenant Colonel in the
regiment of which General Lee was Colo
mel and Van Dorm Major. General Twiggs
who commanded the department, thought
sc little of him that having occasion to di
vide the regiment to meet the exigencies Of
the service, he gave Van Dorm the CON-
mand of four companies to the exclusion of
Thomas g.
The most remarkable thing about this
man is that, after being the most rabid and
loudmouthed secessonist before the war
so much so that by his great zeal he actu-
ally made some officers, who are now in the
Southern army, feel ashamed of themselves
he should have taken up arms for the
preservation of the Union. His conduct
can only be explained by the fact that he
marrieda Yankee woman, old enough to be
his mother, and whose money has great in
huence over him. -s-rrs-~
His first feat of arms was a victory over
Crittenden, at Fishing Creek, Kentucky,
where fell the valiant zollicoffer, which
was gained by sheer force of numbers
He now attracts the attention of the
Northern newspapers and the Yankee Gov
ernment by the heroic manner in which,
with his one corps, he is said to have saved
Rosecrans army from destruction at Chick
amauga.

The Two Armies Compared.

Tennessee army correspondent makes
the following observations on comparing
the armies Of Tennessee and Virginia:
"The old veterans express surprise that
the far-famed army of Bragg fails to come
up to the reputation for drill and discipline
which common rumor has ascribed to it,
and claim that the organization of Lees ar
my is every way superior. The veterans
of Bragg, on the other hand, say that they
have been better fed and worse dressed than
any other troops in the Confederacy, and
claim nothing for themselves but hard
knocks, severe regulations and old clothes.
In the latter qualification they are unques-
tionably ahead of any body of men in this
country.
The difference in the style of fighting
between the two armies is also distinct
The Western army, with few exceptions,
seldom charge continuously The Virgin.
ia army rarely do otherwise. The one are
content to stand up and exchange shots at
long range; the other close up and dash for
ward. On the one hand, experience has
shown that the enemy stand fire as well as
ourselves; on the other that Yankee
pluck always fails on the advance of cold
steel"

The Sagacity Of Gen. Thomas
fsrom the Milwaukee Wisconsin, Oct. 27.l

There can be no question that General
Thomas saved the Army of the Cumberland
in the critical battle of Chickamaugs The
Georgia papers say that the plan OF the
battle was determined upon by General
Bragg after consultation with General Lee.
The plan was literally to destroy our army.
It was, to cross the Chickamauga Creek on
our left flank, where Thomas corps was
placed, and then force him back upon Crit
tenden and McCook After Thomas was
thus driven, another rebel column was to
cross the creek and strike Thomas again as
he was forced back, thus completing bis
rolt. Thomas, with the sagacity OF great
soldier, perceived the object Of the rebels
BE did not wait to be assailed, but with
Napoleonic tactics, he concluded to be the
assailing party, and hence issued the fol

ESTIMATE OF RosECRANs.-The Richmond
Dispatch has the following:
"The -decapitation Of Rosecrans augurs
well for the confederate cause. Hewas the
best general they had, although he might
have been that and still no Caesar. 1t proves
plainly, that, in spite of his meudacious
proclamation, he was very badly beaten at
thickamauga, aud that his employers knew
it. But the best part Of the operation SO
far as we are concerned, is that it implies an
immediate advance upon the lines Of Gen.
Bragg, which We most ardently hope for
We are afraid, Notwithstanding the bravadc
of the Yankee papers, that their hearts will
fail them when the hour arrives"

THE New AIR LINE ROAD To PITrs-
BURGH.-We are informed that the new
company of which we spoke a few days
since, known as the Pittsburgh, Maysvile
and Cincinnati Railroad Company, have
been engaged in surveying the hills in the
northeastern section of the city, with a
view of an entrance into the city in that
quarter. The line starts from Hunt street
across the mouth of the old tunnel, through
gorge in Longworth's Garden Of Eden ;
thence in nearly straight line across the
Madisonville Turnpike to Duck Creek Val
lev; thence on through several river coun
ties to Piketon, and thence on, nearly an air
line to Stsubenvile. The distance by this
route and the Panhandle Road to Pittsburg
is 1872 miles. The project derives consider
able Importance from the connection Of the
company with the coal trade, and its success
on the future coal supply Of the city. The
friends of the company claim the necessity
of an independent entrance from the over.
crowded condition of existing routes, aud
that its passage from Hunt street through
the streets in the heart of the city to the
river will be of sufficient advantage to Ga
cinnati to warrant the granting of the ia
cilties required.-Cin. Eng.
