The same authorities agree that the recent
changes in position have been rs follows: That
the troops. under Generals Brecknridge and
Echols proceeded to join Lee, Immediately after
the defeat of Sigel, leaving Imboden's cavalry to
watch the movements OF Sisel or his successor.
That between the time of the evacuation of Dal
ton and the time that General Sherman entered
Rome and kingston, General johnson had sent
from twenty to thirty thousand of his troops to
Virginia to reinfo ce Lee. And that Immediately
after the repulse and retreat of Butler ON the
10TH Gen. Beaurcgard sent from fifteen to twenty
thousand troops from Richmond to the South
Anna river, to be ready to reinforce Lee if he
needed them. If these statements are correct.
it would give General Lee one hundred and
seventy-fve thousand troops with which to
vancouver against General Grant.

Rebel view Of matters in Georgia.

The f1ankng movement of Sherman south
ward still continues Both armies are across
the Oostanaula, and Johnston has burned the
bridge in his rear at Resaca. We hardly
think it probable that general fight will
come on before the enemy get to the neigh
borhood of Etowah river and the line of the
Rome railroad, which we believe Johnston
will hold. His progress southwark is far
more easily made than that by the enemy
through the exceedingly rugged country in
their line of march. A private letter, dated
at Atlanta, May 18th, says:
'The truth is no general engagement has
taken place. Johnston is falling back grad
ualy, drawing the enemy along waiting for
-, and trying to get good battle ground.
Our loss so far is said to be six thousand -
one thousand killed, three or four thousand
wounded, and the balance missing. COSTA,
naula bridge is burned, and our army is on
this side You can say the wounded are
army, from General Johnston down, is said
to be in the highest spirits, and confident of
the issue"
All this goes to sustain what we have said
upon the subject. A game of strategy is
going on, in which Johnston is acting simply
upon the defensive. He has no objection
that the enemy should transfer the grand
fight as far South as is consistent with his
own plans and the national defenses of the
State. Every foot of rugged soil the enemy
places between himself and Chattanooga
every day that be protracts his march-evel
ry pound that be diminshes his stores Of
subsstence-goes to secure the completeness
of his overthrow if defeated.
To those familiar with the history Of the
previous campaigns Of the present com.
mander Of the Army of the Tennessee, his
apparent retrogade from the Chattanooga
Mountains to Resaca, and thence beyond the
river, will be well understood. All of his
victories in the war have been won by the
retreat-drawing the enemy from their posi-
tion and falling upon them as sudden as a
panic. General SCOTS advice to Federal
commander was: "Beware of Lee advancing
and watch Johnston on the retreat. You
may whip Johnston at a stand, but the devil
himself would be defeated in the attempt to
whip him retreating."

Charleston Mercury, May 90

HIsroRIcAL INcIDENr.-Hon. George H..
Pendeton, of Ohio, in his remarks in defence
of the liberty of speech, on the motion to
expel Mr.. Long, called the attention of the
House to the following fact: "The gentleman
from Maryland besought the House never to
be swerved from its fixed purpose to prose-
cute the war with the last dollar and the last
man! In November, 1881, after CORVALLIS
had surrendered Yorktown, and the last bat
tie of the Revolution had been fought, the
House Of Commons in its address to the
throne assured bis Majesty that it would vote
all the resources of the empire to suppress
rebellion in America. In March Of the next
year, in the early spring, in less than six
months the same House of Commons voted
those were enemies to the realm who advised
the further posecution Of the war;"

STATEMENT FROM SEMI REBEL SOURCE.
The Baltimore correspondent of the New York
World, under date of May 25,h, says:
l send with this private note which will in
dictate the source from which the facts in this
letter are derived, that you may see they are
authentic:
GREAT STRENGTH OF THE REBEL ARMIES When
two months ago, | sent to you statement of the
organization and strength of the rebel armies
was careful to avoid exaggeration, and only gave
numbers that was sure did not exceed the truth
1t is no longer possible to doubt, however. that
the figures therein given were far below the re-
ality. This was proved by the defeat f.Banks
in Louisiana and by the number of troops that
have been sent from various points since the be-
ginning of the present month to reinforce Gen.
Lee. The authority to which l allude above,
compared together and sifted, and rejecting all
the testimony that is not credible, gives the
following as the actual present strength of the
rebel forces
Under Gen. Lees immediate orders, on
the river Po, including Longstreets
corps, but not including any recent re-
Inducements. ....... ...... l15 900
Under General Beauregard s orders at

How to be Hateful.

Ihere are some persons who seem to
treasure up things that are disagreeable
on purpose. l can understand how
boy that never had been taught better
might carry torpedoes in his pocket, and
delight to throw them down at the feet
of passers by, and see them bound; but
l cannot understand how an instructed
and well-meaning person could do such
thing. And Yet there are men that
carry torpedoes all their life, and take
pleasure in tossing them at people
:" on" they say, " have something
now, and when l meet that man [ will
give it TO him. And they wait for the
right company and right circumstances,
and then they out with the most disa-
greeable things. And if they are re-
monstrated with they say, I" 1t is true"
IA if that was a justification Of their con-
duet. If God should take all the things
that are true of you and make scourgs
OF them and whip you with it, you
would be the most miserable Of men.--
But he does not use all the truth on YOU
And is thee no law of kindness? l.
there no desfre to please and profit men?
Have you right to take any little story
that you can pick up about man aild
use ii in such = way as to injUre him or
give him pain? And yet how many
men there are that seem to enjoy moth
ing so much as intiicting exquisite suf-
feriny upon man in this way, when lie
cannot help himself. Well, you know
has done anything wicked, and has
made somebody very unhappy. and
laughs, he feels just as, for the time be-
ing, you feel when you have done q cruel
thing, and somebody is hurt. ana it does
you good.

Professor Agassiz, in the atlantic
.NDath{Y, comes to the conclusion that
the continent OF North America was at
one time covered with ice a mile in
thickness. The proof is that the slopes
OF the Allegheny range OF mountains
Gre glacierwOrn on the very top. except
q few points which were above the level
of the icy mass. Mount Washington,
for instance, is over SIX thousand feet
high, and the rough, unpublished surface
of it's SUBMITS, covered with loose frag-
ments, just below the level at which
glacier-narks come to an end, fell lis
that it lifted its head alone above the
desolate Waste Of ice ana snow. In this
region. then, the thickness Of the sheet
cannot have been mich less than six
thousand feet, and this is in keeping
with the same Kind of evidence i'll other
parts of the country: for. whenever the
mountains are niuch below six thous-
and feet the ice seems to have passed Ill
rectly over them, while the few peaks
rising on the nights are left untouched.
The glacier, he argues. was Gods great
plough and when the ice vanished from
the face Of the land it left it prepared for
the hand ofthe husbaDdman. The hard
surface OF the rocks was ground to pow
der, the elements Of the soil were min
gied III fair proportions, granite was
carried into the lime regions, lime WAS
mingled with the more arid and unpro~

THE JOURNAL
WIT AND WISDOM.

Merit can afford to give long cred
1t for praise.
Sir Peter Lely made ita rule never to
look at bad picture, having found by
experience that whenever he did so his
pencil took tint from it. Always APP
ply the same rule to bad books and bad
company.
Look out for people who are habitu-
ally suspicious and ready to believe that
others act from bad motives. In many
cases the evil they attribute to others
is only what they feel inclined to do
themselves.
Suppose man should steal fifty
dollars from you, and that you should
then challenge him to toss up wiah you
for your whole fortune! That would be
parallel case to duelling as q remedy
for an insult.
The mind that has learned things
and forgotten them is on a superior foot
ing to that which has never received
the teaching. Most things learned may
be partially forgotten in everything but
the training they have given. Cultiva-
ton is consistent with great deal Of
ignorance.
"A person complained to DR.. Frank
lin of having been insulted by one who
called him scoundrel. "Ah," replied
the Doctor, land what did you call
him ~ why" said he, II called him
9 scoundrel, too" WE'LL" resumed
Franklin, II presume you both spoke
the truth"
Old Father Bushnell, of Vermont,
used to say that the best criticism he
ever received on his preaching was from
little boy who sat at his feet, looking
up into his face, as he was preaching to
crowded house. AS he was going on
very earnestly, the little fellow spoke
out, - You said that afore."
Mr.. Jennings was dining at very
frugal table, and piece of bacon near
him was SO very small that the lady Of
the house remarked to him, " Pray,
Mr.. Jenkins, help yourself to the bacon:
don't be afraid of it, "No, indeed,
madam l have seen piece twice AS
large, and it did not scare me bit"
