The Dnty of the Hour.

1t is unwise to make light of defeat,
and equally unwise to overrate 1t. For
the first time large Confederate army
has been driven from powerful position
and compelled to abandon it altogether.
Whether this was done by dint of brave
nv or by maneuvcring, and the sudden
precipitation of large numbers upon a
comparatively weak point, we are, as yet,
without the means of knowing. The
probabilities are in favor of the latter sup
position, although General Bragg, with a
candor which all must admire, and which
other Southern Generals would do well
to initiate, admits that his "left center
was carried" 1t will appear, we appre-
bend, that this center had been weakened
in order to prevent the extreme left from
being fanked-a danger which all Gen.
erals take care to guard against, and none
are more afraid of than General Bragg.
To have been whipped out of chosen
and naturally strong position is serious
thing to Southern army. 1t Is an in
ADEQUATE consolation to know that this
happened when $4,000 State troops Of
Georgia were permitted to return to their
homes for agricultural purposes, and when
probably as many more under Longstreet
had been sent on what will prove to be
bootless and hazardous attempt against
Knoxville. But when it became known
that Sherman with 10000 men had joined
Grant, ought not every man to have been
recalleds Nay, ought they to have been
sent beyond the reach of speedy recall !:
What is done is done. We can bear the
disaster, and another like it, but not many
more. ILongStreet be cut off from Bragg,
as he doubtless is, the trouble IS nightly
complicated for Grant will press his ad.
vantages, and, if possible, destroy first one
and then the other. All this Is clear now
to the duIest observation it was quite as
clear to military minds from the moment
it was known that Bragg had divided his
army in the face of an able General who
was rapidly being reinforced. Grant seized
the occasion which Bragg gratuitously
made for him-that Is all.
However, Bragg is back upon the field
of his great victory. His loss we know
not; the morale of his army we know not.
Admit that the one is heavy, the other bad;
admit, too, that there is no help to come
from Longstreet. Take the case in its
worst aspect, and prepare for it. That is
the duty of the President. the duty OF
Georgia, the duty of all. Georgia viii
surely do her duty she has never failed to
do it. viii the President do hiss We
trust he will we may say we believe he
will; for we have observed that it ever re-
ouires the worst to come to the worst be-
fore the pressure that insures prompt
action begins to tell on the firm, stern
temper Of the Executive.
Much has been said about General Bragg,
and the hour may come when it will be
proper to say much more. But there Is
no time for quarreling now. First, make
ready to repel Grant and Thomas, both
able men, and then we may think Of pre-
ferring charges. If the army cannot be

What it has Done.

The Irish Netcs is the name of an excel
lent paper published in San Francisco,
devoted TO the dissemination of inteli-
scncc of interest to the Irish-American
people. In sentiment it differs widely
from the pestiferous Monitor, the publica-
ton of which is nuisance and outrage
upon loyal community. The following
reflections upon ls63-What it has
Done" we quote from the Irish Ne'cs, of
january ID.
1t has taught DespotiSm that the voice of
Freedom is not vet huShed- In the breasts
of the Polish people the desire for Freedom
is as strong now as it was when the brave
Kcsciusko bled and fell for Poland's liberty.
1t has shown the pure and lofty eagle Of
America that within her broad and sacred
nest she has warmed into life, being and
strength, reptiles poisonous, yenomouS,
deadly reptiles-that now seek her death, and
aim blow at her vitality. 1t has taught
American statesmen that the existence Of
their country as a nation upon the worlds
map, depends upon its political unity. Once
admit the wedge of separation, and the great
American Republic and American people
will be split up into thousand splinters,
each one but a mere ember, weak and power
less. Be united, and you will present mas
sive being, and yet be the glorious home Of
all nations; you will be the center of civil
cation and of freedom; the terror of despots,
and the nursery of virtue and happiness. 1t
has taught European nations to respect, to
admire, and to dread the irrepresSibility Of
American genius and strength. 1t has taught
the rebellious children of America the pre-
cipitous folly into which they have so madly
plunged, and if sponge big enough to wipe
cut every drop of blood, which they have so
needlesSly and cruelty caused to flow, could
be got, they would travel the universe to find
it. The blood shed in the American contest
for American unity will be as dew in all flu
ture time to moisten and fertilize the soil,
and grow flowers of rare beauty to adorn the
future of our united and glorious republic !;
it will make the ground upon which it falls
too hot for traitorous reptiles to live.
