he is now pursuing, We thought OF course
Hood was to follow in his rear, and cut of
all communication In that direction, while
all Gsorgia'w WAS to Eisein his front; Wecould
see nothing better for ShermAn's army than
absolute annihilation. But, 1t seems, that
our calculations were all wrong. Hood plays
no part ip this interesting drapa; his army
has been sent entirely away across the Ten
nessee river, and at the last accounts was
doing nothing most vigorously. We do
not know who planned this campaign, nor
are we competent. to pronounce judgment
on military matters. But 1t does appear
to us that the policy pursued in this case
marVelously resembles that pursued In
several others of not very ancient occur
renee, which sent portion of Bragg's 8
forces to Vicksburg just before he was at
tackled by Rosecrans, and which dispatch.
ed Lou4street to Tennessee ct the critical
moment when Grant bad assembled all his
forces from all quarters, and was about to
mike his attack at Missionary Ridge. II
may be policy strictly military, but 1t is
very much IN opposition to common sense,
which tells rs that, '!eaStsrfs- paFibus," two
men are stronger than, ones and if that be
an object to defeat an enemy, 1t is certain
IL best to have as large a force as possi-
BILE to do it with. Hoods men have been
for weeks without an enemy before them.
In that time they might have been at Ma
con, in- Sherman's rear, and were they
there, Sherman's destruction would be in-
evitable, SO at least it seems to us.
Let us, however, hope for the best, and
among other good things that the Presi-
dent (Jetf. DaVis) will stay at home when
the Southern armies meet with any more
bad luck. Let the men who have to fight
the campaign plan it. Even Napoleon
declined 10 make General under his Or
ders followia plan he had sketched for
him when he found he had one of his
own, WMine is the best, he said, shut it
e better to let him follow his own." Let
bur Generals follow their own plans. II
hey are not ft to be trusted thus far, they
.re not fit to command the armies.
Such are the chief points in regard to
progress, we are allowed to
gather from the reluctant confessions of
he Richmond press. To our mind they
ire cheering, and we think they will be
10 to the public generally. They have re- |
moved o load of anxiety engendered by
he doubt and ignorance in which we have
,een kept regarding the situation in Geor-
,ia, and by. the contemplation of the in i
lerept difficulties of the enterprise.-l
Though they do not show us the end
hey give assurance of its speedy reRlisa. |
ion, and inspire the same confidence ex-
,ressed by Lieut.. Gen. Grant in his dis |

TIE HON. ROGER DECLARED By HIS PRIRHDs
ToBE OF ''Eo CONSEQUENCES WHATEVER.
| a. From the Richmond Examiner, Nov. 80.
We regret to know that the rumor Of
this psutIeman's capture Is true. For some
time past q tacit convention between the
armies sanctioned daily exchange Of pas
pers on certain portions of the lines, be-
tween single soldiers from each side. On
Monday morning General Pryor left his
horse and arms and went ont into the mid.
die of the space between the picket lines
for this purpose, waving, as usual, the
papers to be exchanged. BE vas recog-
nizsd by some Yankee officers and they
sent an athletic man with papers. and two
or three others followed at little dis
tauce. The first grsppled with General
Pryor, and the others rushed on him and
dragged him int their lines. Here ts an
illustration of whst our soldiers may ex.
pect whenever they rely upon the honor OF
Yankees. s-. -.
No doubt the captors thought they had
obtained wonderful price and We fear
that Gen. PRYOR will be i'll treated; for there
are few against whom the Yankee nation
entertains more mean spite and malice
We style him General Pryor by courtesy;
for it is we'll known that he is, and has for
two years been, Q private and regularly
enlisted soldier, serving in the ranks of the
Confederate cavalry as such, having no
public Importance, no authority, conse-
quence or privilege than any other regu-
larly enlisted Confederate soldier. In the
first days of the war be raised q fne regi-
ment, Of which he was elected colonel
Later the Confederate government commits
stoned him to be a brigadier general,
and ordered him TO duty in command
of brigade, left without general,
we believe, because its commanding
officer was wounded. In this command
General Pryor often distinguished himself
by his gallantry and iudicious conduct
BE lost his command by the return of the |
officer whose place he occupied Temporal
rily. On applying for other duty at the
War Department he got nothing but vague
promises. His high spirit would not
brook the position Of brigadier general
without brigade; he soon threw up his
and enlisted as common SOL |
dier in the cavalry, where he has since
been serving. Having been good officer
he made an excellent trooper; and by his
capture the confederacy is de- |
prived of one good man. But the enemy |
will pay dearly for it, for the dishonorable |
means employed in this affair will embit-
ter our skirmishers and pickets SO much |
that hundreds Of Yankees will lose their |

TIE Washington City Chronicle says
that the manuscript of the following letter
was exhumed some days ago by parties
searching among the debris Of Gen. Lees
late mansion on Arlington Heights, just
across from Washington. 1t was written
to young Lee while cadet at West Point:
ARLINGTON HOUSE, April 8, 1852.
MYDRAR Son; l am just in the act OF
leaving home for New Mexico. Ny fine
old regiment has been ordered to that dis.
tant region, and. must hasten to see that
they are properly taken care of. have
but little TO add in reply to your letters OF
March 26, 81, and %. Your letters
breathe q true spirit of frankness; they
have given myself and your mother great
pleasure. You must study TO be frank
with the world; frankness ia the child OF
honesty and courage. Say whatyou mean
to do on every occasion, and take it for
granted you mean to do right. II friend
asks favor, you should grant 1t, II 1t is
reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why you
cannot; you will wrong him and wrong
yourself by equivoeation of any kind
Never do wrong thing to make friend
or keep one; the man who requires you to
do SO is dearly purchased at sacrthce.-
classmates; and you will find it the policy
which wears best. Above all, do not aP-
pear to others what you are not. If you
have any fault to find with any one, tell
him, not others, of what you complains
there is NO more dangerous experiment
than that of undertaking to be one thing
before a mans face and another behind his
back. We should live, act, and say moth
| in0 To the injury of any one. 1t is not oR'
| Iy best as a matter of principle,
but it is the path TO peace. and honor.
In regard to duty, let me, in conclusion
of this hasty letter, inform you that nearly
hundred years ago there Wss q day ol
remarkable gloom and dHrkness-sthl
known as the dark day-a day when the
light of the sun was slowly oxtiuguishedl
as II by an eclipse. The Legislature oi
Connecticut was in session, and as tts MEM
bers saw the unexpected and unaccouuta-
BILE darkness coming on, they shared IN
the general awe aud terror. 1t was sup
posed by many that the last day-the day
of fjudgment-had come. Some one IN tne
| eonsternAtion of the hour, moved an ad-
Iiournment. Then there arose an old P1
ritan legislator, Davenport, of Stamford
who said, that if the last day had come, h'
desired to be found at his place, doing hi
duty, and, therefore, moved that candles
be brought in, so that the House coult
proceed with its duty. There was quiet
ness iu that mans mind-the quietness o
heavenly wisdom-sn iDAexible willing
4 ness to obey present duty. Duty, then, i
the sublimest word in our language. D.
your duty in all things like the old Puri
tan. You cannot do more; you shOul
never wish to do less. Never let me an
your mother wear one gray hair for an
lack of duty on yoRr part.
Your affec,iOuats father, R. B. LEE.

49,. Prom the Richmond whig, Nov, 80.
The Virginia Bill of Rights, section 8,
declares 'stf1ae the Legislative Aad eaOOu-
tive powers of the State should be separ-
ate and distinct from the judiciary"
The same great great charter of freedom
afirms '.that all power of susPendtng1 laws
or the execution of laws, by any authori-
ty, without con6ent of the representatives
of the people, 10 injurious to their rights,
and ought not to be exercised"
So thought Geo. Mason and our Revo-
lutionary sires.
But what is Congress now celebrating
about2 Rumor says they are secretly pro.
yidiug for suspension of the writ OF
habeas corpus.
Have members considered the practical
effect of such measure.
Do they forget that it is virtual trans
fer of the judicial and q large portion OF
the legislative functions of the govern
ment, TO the Executive
If the writ be suspended, the Executive
is the sole expounder of the laws and the
constitution, in regard to all matters ateot-
ing the personal safety of the citizen. Any
man may be incarcerated, without know
ing the cause of his arrest, or being con-
l tE0nEHO
iury Of his peers ! The law and the con.
stitutiou are, SO far as he Is concerned
suspended. The judicial department. which
ia specially constituted to interpret and ex-
mound the laws, is paralyzed-Executive
discretion is substituted for Judicial exposi-
tion. The will of the Presidents stands in
place of the law of the land.
Here, then, is transfer of the judicial
mower to the Executive. o-
But this is not iall.' The proposition to
suspend the habeas corpus proceeds on
the idea that If the. citizen seeks the re
dress which, the lawsallow, and which the
| judiciary is boundIt6 give, the public in
lterest will suffer. This is, in substance
an admission that the laws and the consu'
tuition, as well rs the judiciary, must 6t
/ gotten rid of. They are troublesome OBJ
stscles in the path of Executive discretion
and they must be removed. The supen
sion of the writ of habeas corpus affects
thfs end. It matters not what guarantees
the constitution. and the laws give If theil
i administrative organs, the courts, arr
1 closed. to the appeals of the oppressed
why not come up squsrely and fairly tt
4 the proposition to establish dictatorship
Disguise it as you may, the suspension
habeas corpus is the same thing in sub
stance. 1t transfers the powers and func
ltions of legislative and judicial depart
meuts to the Executive. IL breaks doWE
the line OF demarcation between the CO
ordinate departments. 1t consolidates al
mower in the hands of the Executive, aut
that consolidation, call the government b.

fore" The reason IS they have no confidence The
Eagle tells the following good story Of Mr. August
Belmont the llustrious chairman Of the Democratic
National Committee:
MIR. Belmont, in conversation with a party of
gentlemen day or two since, expressed himself as
sure of the election of Little Mac There were
cayils and Mr.. Belmont proposed to back his opin-
ion with bet of $1,000. A well known banker
who supports Mr. Lincoln at once accepted the bet
Now, said he, Mr.. Belmont, would like to double
the money on Mr. Lincoln. Agreed, said Mr.. B.
And now, said our Union man, will double that
If you say So. Mr.. Belmont had, however, reached
the end of his bag-rope, and ingloriously backed
out Now. It WIS not that he cared for the loss of
i've or six thousand dollars, but that he knew very
well that his antagonist would have put up not less
than one million dollars if Mr.. Belmont had been
willing to back his candidate to that amount This
was well understood in that crowd, and Mr.. Belmont
did well TO withdraw when he did,"
