THEY ARE wHIsTLING TO KEEP THEIR
COURAGE Up

Richmond papers of Tuesday last, Goth ult.,)
with Georgia dates of Saturday last claim that
the rebels have repulsed Sherman with loss,
and that number Of prisoners taken from him
have arrived at Augusta. They also claim
that up to that date (26th ult) Sherman had
been unable to effect crossing OF the Oconee
river, and, IS they allege, was laundering
about in Central Georgia, unable to extricate
himself Also they claim that their railroad
trains are running on regular time between
Augusta and Macon.
These allegations in the Richmond papers
are so indefinite in the way of specification as
to time and place, that it Is evident to us that
these stories of disaster to Sherman are put
afloat by the rebel press to keep up the spirits
OF the Confederate people, and prevent utter
decentralization in the rebel army. 1t Is evident
that they know very little Of what Sherman's
main army is doing, or in what direction it Is
moving, and it is also certain that any success
they may have had, or any prisoners they may
have taken has been in encounter with some
small detachment of Sherman's army, proba-
bly, on accommodating duty.
We may state in this connection that Sher.
mans army did not leave Atlanta until the
18th end 10th ult., instead OF the 18th, as re-
ported. and 1t will thus be seen that he has
"fioundered" along to very good purpose to
make the advance he has within that time, and
we are confident that before the rebs are done
with him they will find him fioundering per.
sistently into some positions Of vital import
ance to them.
Meantime the smashing up OF Hoods army
at Franklin, Tennessee, by Thomas will serve
as very satisfactory set.of for any bakers
dozen OF prisoners the rebs may pick up on the
skirts OF Sherman's broad swathe through

Love is a very uncertain thing, and it Is
not safe TO be too certain of the symptoms
until they are unmistakable. The follow
ing will explain our meaning
Vienna has been stirred up lately by the
comicsl result of a strange love story. 1t
seems that in the house of one Kerr Kuhne,
a teacher of languages, DR.. Kant, young
LAWYER, happened to make the acquaintance
of a Young lady, burdened with some pro-
perty and thirty years. The lady being
unmarried, evinced particular interest IL
he Young, shy, and rather abashed man
Of law. She made love to him, IN fact,
verv strongly. and persuaded him to visit
her at her house. But, alas he loved an
other lady. One evening, while convers-
ing with the doctor, she said:
EWlth your favorable idea Of matrimony,
may 1 ask if you ever thought of marry
ing yourself?"
DR.. Kant sighed, and with his eyes rest
ing on the ground, hesitatingly muttered
in reply:
~ have already thought of marrying,
and made my choice, but"
uBut ?o the lady hastily interposed.
uBut" he continued, "the lady is rich,
very rich, and I am poor. am afraid L
could hardly aspire to her hand, and rather
than allow myself to be taxed with sordid
designs, I will bury my passion in my
breast, and leave it uncovered forever"
At an early hour the following day she,
however, betook herself to solicitor, and
in legal form declared her wish to present
and hand over as his property the sum OF
10000 guilden (8I5,OOO) to DR.. Kant
When the document had been signed,
countersigned, and duly completed, she
sat down in the office, and enclosing it in
an elegant envelope, added note to the
following effect; Dear SRI have much
pleasure in enclosing paper which / hope
will remove the obstacle in the way OF
your marriage Believe Inc, etc, Alice
Martini
DR.. Kant, for he and no other was the
addressed, was the happiest man in the
world on receiving this epistle- Repair
ing at once TO the parents of Frsulein Fis-
ehel, the lady of his love, he proposed fol
and received the hand ofs girl who had
long been fattered by his delicate though
unavowed attentions. His reply to Frsulein
Martini, besides conveying his most sin
cere thanks, contained two cartes de viste,
linked together by the significant rose-col
ored ribbon. Miss Martini forthwith sued
the happy bridegroom for restitution, but,
as no promise of marriage had been made,
the case was, by two success sive courts, de
cided against her.

The Richmond WING FOams at the
Mouth.

The Why of November 22d, comment
ing on the rumors that had reached Rich
mond of terms of amnesty being offered,
thus froths:
Seward goes before others in his creduli-
W. He thinks we will not only knock un-
der, but will give up the principal ring
leaders in "this unnatural wal" as the de-
fence of our homes is styled ny many poll
ticians. The Army of Northern Virginia,
for example, paralyzed by the tremendous
announcement that Abe Lincoln is re-
elected, are expected to deliver up, bound
hand and foot that glorious chief who has
so often led them to victory, that he may
endure the extreme OF Yankee vengeance.
And to whom is it expected to deliver him2
To that Aogged, Wicked, bastinadoed, dis
graceful Army of the Potomac which it
has made run so often that it has at last
become almost disgraceful to fog it. To
the hordCs of assassins, thieves and house
burners, for which Botany Bay would be
far too good home of refuge and which
deserves nothing on earth but the gsllows.
The cold fsg,"-the Yankee buzzsrd
and gridiron-which has witnessed more
disgrace than all the banners united that
ever fosted above the heads Of srmies-is
to witness, at last, this humiliation of the
Confederate army. In one of Scott's nov
els (the fortunes of Nigel" we believe)
3 ruined apprentice is advised by an old
beldame to 'stake to the rosd'-that is to
turn highway robber. The youth is in
dignsnt enough at the base proposition !;
hut his wrath knoWg no bOunds when he
is told that his Captain is to be a certain
cowardly brave whom he had himself
eudgelled in the presence of five hundred
people, So with the brave army of North
ern Virginia. The proposition itself is
bad enough, and well calculated to excite
their Indignation. But the men, in whose
favor they are to commit this act of treach-
cry is the beaten and disgraced, mauy
times beaten and disgraced army of the
Potomac. -
