The Richmond correspondent of the Lon
don Times, writing Nov 18th, has the follow
ing on the progress of the war, and the com
parative tenaeity Of purpose and confidence
displayed by the Southern rebels and the 10y
al masses of the North:
| The Confederate States are rapidly ap-
preaching stage in this war which will test
more than ever the stubborness and tenacty
of their temper and patience, and can only be
successfully encountered by a national spirit
as systematic as it is resoIute. Their enemy,
with as much pertinacity, and far more Sat
gacity than heretofore, hens i'll the edges
Of the rebellion on every side; avoids the
frequent recurrence Of pitched battles and gen
eral engagements pouuces with hawk-like
swoop upon isolated and imadequately sup
ported bodies OF men; eGIs.ces possession Of
atm5r0JIe secret jHtoim0tjon, Eeeps the Con-
fa{cra,a Generals coHStuutiy ~ tie rack, and,
harassed by irruptions Of cavalry makes his
superiority Of numbers, and still more his
abundance of supplies for horse and man, more
and more felt and finally is investing the
ports of Secessia with Gordon of vessels so
numerous as for the first time in thirty months
10 make access TO the Confederate coast real
~ dangerous and difficult On the other hand,
in rebeldoIn itself the Federals have power
full ally i'll circumstances which, to my think
ing, have from the beginning quadrupled the
magnitude of the Confederate task.
