Wimble on Common, with fine g.

of them ever appear in public except
to assist some charitable institution.
An Institution to assist the families of
deceased clergymen was the occasion
of their recent appearance at Exeter
Hall, he as conductor, she as chief
singer in the Messiah The prices were
very high-reserved seats being a
guinea each The chorus was more
than five hundred strong, and the or
chestra about seventy / had never
heard the Messiah rendered under such
grand circumstances, and found the
ehoruses Overwhelming. Having never
heard Jenny Lind before, ] cannot
say how much her voice has failed
since her visit to America; but GER

electrified by Grisi, and even by Mile

other evening, and her voice fell like
falling star, to rest with solemn and
subtle feeling upon the word sleep,

the hush Of the audience was extreme
and at that instant the great clock Of
the hail gave q single heavy stroke

glory of the oratorio is in its mighty

AT a recent festival at St Louis Gen.

that no troops Of Lees army had been sent

false information, the army of the Cum

for Longstreet, from Lees army, was
there with over twenty thousand men,

SHERMAN's PosITIoN.-The Macon (Ga. }
Telegraph, in abiding to the new position
OF affairs at Atlanta, says:
1t is certainly matter to thank God on,
that though the enemy have succeeded in
gaining possession of one of the most i'm
portant points in the country, yet his ten.
ure hangs on q frail thread of road. over
800 miles in length, aud which, by prop
er display of promptitude and energys may
at any moment be broken, and deliver the
spo!er aud the invader into our hands.
Let US pray to God that those who hold
our destinies in their grasp may be made
aware of the great responsibility which
rests upon them, and use the power placed
in their hands for the salvation Of the coun-
try and the cause.
Let forces be sent to Sherman's rear. To
the single liue of railway between the Chat
tahoochee and Dalton depends Sherman's
existence. That single thread of road, like
the hair that held suspended the sword Of
Damocles, if once cut. will destroy the ar.
my of the Cumberland. The superior num-
bers, the daring and the strategy Of Sher-
man will be of no avail to save him from
destruction, If but ten rails on the road al 9

No Use in Looking for it.

We had the pleasure yesterday of meet
ing in our Office highly intelligent young
friend, just arrived from Europe, were he
possessed unusual facilities for observation,
and he assures us that there is in his opin-
ion, not the slightest chance Of our being
able to obtain navy i'll Europe. He says
that all the principal ports Of France and
the British Islands perfectly swarm with
Yankee spies. You meet them at Havre,
Bordeax. Nantz. Liverpool, Glasgow.
Greenock. They dog you to London, to
Paris; thoy watch your uprising and down
lying, at your eating and your drinking,
and even at your worship; they are utiqui-
tous and Ubiquitous. Even if the French
or English Governments were disposed to
wink at our getting vessels from their pri-
vate ship yards, they would not be permit
ted to do so, for their eyes and ears are
kept open per force by the incessant clamor
constantly made by the representatives OF
the Loncoln government. But in truth the
English government requires but little ur-
cling, Its officials have shown themselves
to be only too willing to do the work re-
quired of them, and under the name of neu-
trality. to deprive the Confederates of all
the advantages which they might hope to
derive from genuine and tauiy impartial
neutrality, carried out in good faith. Aud
in this course of policy the French author
tiles follow the example of their British
neighbots; where else, the entente cordsale
seems to DO in full force. England stops
our rams, and France stops our rams, and
the result is great cry and little wool.

Whv Hood was not Reinforced d.

There are many who have wondered why,
and Others who have blamed President Davis
because Forrest was not sent to Sherman's
rear to break his communication and thus
compel him to retire from below Atlanta,
instead of sending him (Forrest)t to Mempis.
If these fault flinders will remember there
was at that time twenty or thirty thousand
Yankees in North Mississippi making pre-
parations to make their way southwark, in
tho direction of Mobile or Selma. This
formidable Yankee force threatened the
most prolific granary of the South, and
even had they failed to capture the impor-
tant points above named, the destruction
and desolation of this region would have
out off the principal supplies Of our army
Of Tennessee. Thrice has this gallant chief
tain saved that section from dosolatien, and
relieved Mobile and Selma from impending
capture. BY his dash into Memphis the
."Wizzard Of the Saddle" viii small force,
has whipped 80 600 Yankees, and sent
their great expedition back to the cover Of
Memphis and their gunboats.
Could he do more to decide the fate Of
the campaign of the West? Were these
erumblers advised Of tho immense supplies
sent from Alabama to the army Of Tonnes
see they would be compelled to admit that
the Department, or if yon choose, the Com
mander in Chief, has kept Forrest in the
right place.-The telegraph this morning

France and the Confedsracy.

The Paris correspondent Of the New
Yerk Times writes:
The French Government is subject to hos
and cold fits and at time when it wat
amicably disposed to the American Con-
federate States leave was very readily given
for the building at Nantes and Bordeax,
nominally for commercial purposes, but
really for war, Of two steam corvettes and
two rams. Leave is too weak a word-en
counagemcnt aud instignation would be
more correct. When the vessels were near.
ly completed cold fit came on, and orders
we're sent that the vessels should not be de-
livered over to the Confederates but. al
though the ground alleged for OBTAINING the
ships was that they were constructed for a
belligereut, the corvettes snd the ram have
been just sold to the Prussian Government.
though Prussia is belligerent. This does
not look like neutrality, and it looks still
less like friendly weakness on the part Of
the French Government towards its old al

SuERIDAN's ARMY. "A letter from an
officer in Gen. Early's command, says:
Sheridan cannot get anything but his
cavalry to fight. He has, besides four d.
visions of cavalry. the 9th, 9Th and 10Th
army corps. The 9th was formerly COM
manded by Sedgwick. but has been -educ-
cd in this campaign from 10000 to 5000
mon. The other two are the remnants of
that army Dick Taylor whipped so badly in
the Trans Mississippi. All three have
large number of hundred day men. During
the whole Valley campaign, Gen. Early has
not been able to get a general engagement
out of them. 1t is the worst hacked army
in the country. Every three or four days
sheridan tries tc bring his men up to the
scratch, but they won't stick Our army
are in splendid Teacher and health. and
think, as ever, that nothing can whip them.
Gen. Early has proven himself master
Of the art Of war, and Breckenridge end
Gordon are winning imperishable laurels.
They have far outstripped all other divis-
ion commanders.
