Comfort for the CrOakern.

T. ia a thing worthy ofnote, that while the croak
ers aud cop perIeads If the north complain OF The
ipefficienuy with which the war has been managed
the reseis d. not agree with them. We have be-
fore US d Richmond Enquirer Of the 10 of FebIu-
airy, III which the rebel view of the question is
given. aud we deem it important enough to lay
before our readers:
Third Stage of the Var,
1--WE have fairly entered upon the third stage
indicated by the President in his message, namely.
that Of a war for subjagation and determination.
The people of this c0ntederacy, isolated and
shut up from all the world, have now to encounter
the most horrible and deinoniac effort for the a.
sassination of a whole race history has yet rec>
corded, or we believe will ever have to record
till history grows grey For it is not every centu-
nv. il is not every non that shows the world a
Yankee nation. Yes, the Confederate people has
now ut last to strip for battle; it is q people that
must this time very lite ally conquer or die.
mo doubt it would be agreeable tO,beiieve that
thus last stage of the war will be soon over, and
must end in the speedy destruction of our inten~
ded murderers. But look around the map of the
Confederacy and judge if we can soothe ourselves
with this belief. In the very heart of the country
our gallant sentinel of The Mississlppi-hercic
little Wick sburg-has sustained, indeed, and baf>
fed two tremendous sic es; but a third Tina her
citizens see pouring in around them from the
North and from the West enormous masses of the
beleaguering foe iron fioating batteries again
crowd down upon her and even as you read
these words, two hundred heavy guns may be
laundering upon her defenses, a hundred thousand
men may be pressing to the storming of her ram
parts. Again she will drive them off, perhaps,
and remain the famous maiden city of this hemi
sphere, the bulwark Ofthe West so be it but the
vision we see on the Mississippi does not look
very like exhaustion or despair on the part of the
foe just yer.
"And again look to the mouth of the mighty riv-
er. New Orleans is not a maiden city, alas! the
base rag that has So often been rent and trampied
before Richmond aud before VicAshurg flies from
ali the towers of that d~eloTered city. HOrdes Of
hungry Yankees armed to the teeth. sit in the
shade of her orange groves. and station Negro
