a MILIrARY DEAD LOCK-.

The bright auspices under which our armies,
few weeks ago were moving, seem to have
faded. The large and finely appointed army
of Generel Sherman, which was thought to be
siresistible, has. retreated through q wasted and
desert country back to Vicksburg, while clouds
t0f sConfedernte cavalry Earassed its flank any
rear. The expedition of Smith and Grierson,
which was the most formidable of the kird ev-
er centriyedr has been forced back, and Grant
himself has reeeded to Tunnel hill. The late
. brilliant raid of Fitzpatrick, which was intended
= 20 pause only at the gates of Richmond, was q
= disastrous failure. The Texas campaign is yet
4; fruitful of no solid results, and the Florida
Slaughter is to be healed up with fresh sup
plies of men. Ifpaper gasconade could con-
: quer q rebellion, the Southern Confederacy
would have been extinguished long ago. IF
mere proclamations and pronunciamentos
from Washington City could level armies and
reduce towns, LEE's host would be a myth,
and Charleston own the sway Of our flag; but
the fact becomes daily moro apparent that
the Southern Confederacy is not to be subju-
gated by Chinese bulletins or angry fulmina-
lions from . weak and incompetent President
To counterbalance the trifing reverses re-
;ferred to, three distinguished successes are to
BE recorded. viz: 1 One detachment of the
grand army has mobbed aDcnocratic newspa-
2. Another has robbed a poor old Dutch
GRADER in Pennsylvania, Who was under suspi-
scion of being n knight of the fabulous order
rofthe Golden Circle.
3. A third has successfully attained its deb
iectr withuot any disaster by foo1 or feld-a
considerable army having been ssfely and gra-
fuiteusly transported to New Hampshire, where
it was engaged in the noble and patriotic work
of putting Town the people at the polls.
