pa The news from georgia IS tnrlllng'
It bstokens great success. The highest
interest attends the unfolding of each
scene in this great drama, and grand de-
nouement is confidently looked for. What
sudden changes this war discloses to u.s. =
All is nowbright With promise, where but .
short while since it was filed with gloom.
Gen.. Sherman, who fippansly 'ohafged,up
on Gen. Hoed the serious military error oi
uncovering 'hisvings by sending his cavalry
out of reach, has committed the very same
error himself, and with far less prospect Of
retrieving it than Hood bids fair successful:
ly to do. Sherman may therefore, do very
we'll to lsoture upon the art of war, but his
adversary is more likely practically to illus
tfate it. A few thousand men would put
his triumph over Sherman beyond eontin'
gency, and bring withthem tie day of de.
liverance to the States of Alabama and
Georgia 1t is the opportune moment for
the people of those States to rally to the
standard of Gen. Hood, and secure to the
Army Of Tennessee the victory it deserves,
and at once win safety for themselves, aud
salvation for the Confederate cause. esr.',
Whileths bow, Of promise spans the west
ern sky, a black cloud is gathering over
Richmond. The noble and heroic, bdtsad.
ly depleted army of Gen. Lee, is making
superhumauIefor to save it. The world
will probably never know how it has strng.
gled slong-a line of taoenty.fue males to de-
fend the capital and secure victory for the
country. But the. worlds ignorance or in.
difference can but slightly affect an army
which is capable Of such deeds Of valor and
snch sacrifices of patriotism. Its career has
filed the hearts Of our people with pride
and hope. It has been the embodiment Of
our greatness, our honor, and our foratude.
1t has even enshrined and reflected the
gentle and high.bred virtues which are ma.
tive here and to the manor born. We have
looked upon it with the Ronian'ss pride in
contemplating the proud structure of the
Coliseum, and felt that while it-stood intact
we might stand secure. Our reverence for
it is now about to be put to the test. SPhe
orders of the departments, the addresses Of
President Davis, the appeals of Gen. Lee,
the positive certainty of immense reinforce
ments being sent to Grant-all go to show
that the Army of Northern Virginia must
be reinforced and that speedily. We are
gratifsd to believe that our authorities are
alive to the magnitude Of the crisis. We
invoke public opiuiou;to come to their aid,
and to see to it that no man whose place is
in the army shall hide at home. The pro-
portion of skulkers and laggards seems to
be on the increase. Gay young fellows and
staiwart men abound. They can be met
with any day ia any town, village, railroad
or cross roods. Their presence is tolerated
too patiently. Goals of fire should be put
upon their backs to make them move. Their
ingenious tricks and cunning devices to
keep out of the service should be merciless-
ly exposed. They have turned and doubled
long enough. If they continue to resist
their eounty's call in the agony of its pres
ent struggle, if they cling to theiE bomb
proofs, and screen themselves behind con-
tracts which, as Peter Pindar's razors were
intended to sell, are warranted to procure
emption-some searching process ought
to be applied which will uncover and bring
them out to public view. If they s0iU not
serve the country, if they repudiate its
claims upon them, lesthem at Hast stand
and receive its scorn.-GGaraidn. u.
