/ GENERAL BRAGG.
I Correspondence Of the Richmond Sentinel.
General B. is understood in the army
Ito be an unseIfish man, wholly given up,
night and day, to the great cause. He lives
in the ptaiuest style, makes no show, and
| sees but few persons except On business.
| II has leaked out IN the army tSas General
Bragg said to the President, 1Pon his late
visit, after free talk aboVs the complaints
of general officers and others, that he had
never asked of him fthe President) his
present high and responsible position; that
| he had asked notAings that whatever the
good of the csase required should be done
with him, vas his pleasure;; that person
ally it would take an immense burden from
his shoulders to be relieved, and If the
cause did NOT require his, services in the
position, il would be great relief to have
some Que else assume the responsibilities.
All who have become at all acquainted
with General Bragg in the army agree that
one is TO be found who eXcels him IN deVo-
ton TO the cause, and scarcely a single
man in the whole army is TO be found who
| tolls so necessarily, both day and night;
\ he IS fully acquainted with all the details
of every department in the army, and ex
plains every proposition that he touches

army of thirty, forty or fifty thousand
men without eyer, in the whole of tRo days,
making a single blunder, and TO so per-
fectly oYerwhelm the greateS1 man. of the
Yankee army with equal or probably
superior numbers, that not only the lead
ing papers of Europe give. him. the credit
of beating his willy" adversary in strate-
ey and tactics, but the leading papers of
the United States give him the credit of
whipping thsic greatest general and best
army, and so fully is the victory acknowl-
edged that RosecrRns,. whose name was a
tower of strength up to. the day of the
fight, has actually been diSgrRced and re-

government.
THE MILITARY sITg49EoN
,CharEestOH-Y Iginia- Chattanooga.
From the Richmond Sentinel. -l
At Charleston the enemy are bnrning
powder and wearing out their cannon in
idle firing. If Gilmore makes no way and
gathers no laurels, at all events some of the
Yankee contractors for bombs and ord
nance will have SEA good thing" out of his
operations. Meantime the hated city stnRGs
proudly, defiantIy and the confederate bag
flies over the mass of stones and rEbbish at
Fort Sumter. Soon we expect 20 heas that
the Yankee navy will come up to its work
aud essay an entrance iqtG tae harbor.-
They must attempt srIGetAing, some time
or other. AT presoEt, their Inactivity is
constantly jeered at BY, the land forces; and
much as the RaTy, may be aYerse; to the
dangerous experiment, public. opinion,
among OFT enemies, will force them Up to
the trial,
AS the thing, is. to. happaa the place

Rapidan, or at fredericksburg, or on the

memories 20 the Yankee race And SO the
war journalists of the North have hit upon
the James river route, and despite the pro-
test of the New York Times, VIC look TO see
il adopted-perhaps very soon. = iasnfi-
Client 10 say that this route is ore, 10 which
our military authorities turnoA their, atten-
ton very many months age, sndi that Vir-
ginia hospitality is want sotRake abundant
provisions for expected gusts. BY that, or
any other avenue Of approach, they are
''expected," and will, be welcomed by the
soldiers to whom they have so often dis
courteously taFned their backs.
From Chattanooga the accounts denote
serious work. Heavy fighting has already
taken place. Grant. means to strike 8
blow Il. he has the power, and none that
have. noticed his career could doubt that
he will do SO. A general battle is not
Improbable. The result is in the DISPOSE
ton of Divine Providence. We have every
confidence in our brave army, flushed as It
is with a recent great victory, and know
that they will do all that men co do
And we are glad that our enemiI, have
discarded an able general for an inferior
one We hope, with good heart, for a
signal and decisive triumph for the cause
of truth and justice.
