DespaIring Cries from Dixie.

Even the Charleston Mercury, that most
radical of allrebel prints, has become disgust
ed with JEFF. DAVIS, and respondent over
the prospects of the rebellion. It declares
in recent article that the greatest evils IN
der which their cause has suffered have been
AID are +" want of nerve, demagoguisrn, fear Of
the populace and fear Of the soldiery;" that
they want nerve to bo steady-"nerve TO
face the enemy, not nerve to bully and OPP
press friends;" that nerve has carried
SHERMAN to Savannah" land they evidently
expect him at Charleston); that his army is
can army of soldiers, and not a mob of rag
Mullins" that "he is general" that, on
the other hand, the Confederate soldiery in
South Carolina "are disgrace to the cause;"
that everywhere does lawlessness and dis.
regard of authority prevail;" that +" both
Houses of Congress lie PROSTATE at the feet
of the executive" JEFF. DAVIS, and that
che is most illustrous and pernicious ex-
ample of contempt of law, AMI of weakness in
enforcing obedience to law; that, in short,
lawlessness, cowardice, mouthing demagog-
ues, political hacks, imbeciles in authority,
INSTRUMENTATION and ruffianism reign over
the forlorn Confederacy."
The conduct of Gen. GRANT in disregarding
all the rules of strategy, as practiced in the
mild and milky days of MCCLELLAN, is also
extremely irritating to the dwellers in Rich.
mond. The Dispatch of that city, under date
of the 18th, enters this bitter complaint:
&c TIE enemy IS prosecuting his enterprise
throughout the aciater. He alLoeCs oar armies no
rest day or night, and yet not one single step
has been taken by our legislature for any OBJ
ject whatever that can have the remotest
bearing upon our defence against the ven
geance of our implacable enemies. The Peo-
pie haze become more depressed than eUer before,
because they had been fattered by hopes of
peace by persons who well knew there could
be no peace short Of submission and enslave-
ment"
The Examiner is not more hopeful Z.
says the South will not submit, but it adds !:
at is certain that we will enter upon the
coming campaign with faded hopes, diminished
energy, AID forebodingS of continuation Of that
series Of disasters which has been uninterrupt-

has commanded with profit the army of the

Gen. Terry.

1t has been charged by some of Gen. Bur-
LER's friends who have more zeal than dis
erection, that both Gen. GRANT and Admiral
PORTER are hostile to him because he is not a
West Pointer. The point of this accusation
is seriously blunted by the fact that General
TERRY, the hero of Fort Fisher, who seems
to have gained the full confidence of these
officers is, like Gen. BUTLER, from civil life.
Gen. ALFRED HOWE TERRY is a native of
Hartford, Conn. Born Nov-s 10, 1927, he
studied law when of proper age, at the Yale
Law School, and was a lawyer doing good
business at New Haven on the breaking out
of the war; He first entered the service as
Colonel of three months regiment; COM
manded the 18th Connecticut at the siege of Pu-
laski; was made brigadier in April, 1862 !;
was second in command at the battle
Pocotaligo commanded at the second action
on James Island in July, 1868, and subse-
quently commanded the troops on Morris Is
land until the reduction of Forts Wagner and
Gregg. During the past year he has COM
manded the First Division of the Tenth Corps,
in the Army of the James. He is described
as tall and slim, with a pleasant cast of
countenance and the most engaging manners.
In conversation he is learned, but both mod
est and affable, and he unites to Christian
courtesy the most exceeding geniality."

Lincoln and Davis Contrasted.

From the Charleston Mercury, Jan. 10.
When Abraham Lincoln took the chair of the
Presidency of the United states, he promised in
his fat-boat lingo to ssrun the chine ne found
1T" Whether he strictly kept his promise, those
may doubt who choose to consider the subjeet. 1t
is enough for US to know, that whether " running
his machne' in the pathway Of his predecessor or
not, he has run iG with stern inhexible purpose;
a bold, steady hand; vigant, active eye; sleep
less energy; fanatic spirit, and an eye to his
single end-conq an eipatIon. He has call
ed around him, in counsel, the ablest and most
earnest men in his country. Where he has lacked in
individual ability, learning, experience or states
manship, he has sought IL and found IL in the able
men about him, whose assistance he unhesitating-
ly accepts, whose powers he applies to the adj
vancement of the cause he has undertaken. In
the Cabinet and in the field he has consistently
aud fearlessly pressed on the search for men who
could advance his cause, and has unhesita;ingly
cat off those who clogged it with weakness, timid-
ity, imbecility failure. Force, energy, brains,
earnestness, he has collected around him in every
department. Backyard and butfoon as he is, he
has pursued his end with an energy as untiring as
Indian, and a singleness OF purpose that might
almost be called patriotic. If he were not an I'M
scrupulous knave IL his end, and fanatic in his
DO litical views, he would undoubtedly command
our respect as q ruler, go far az concerned.
Abroad and at home, he has exercised alike the
same ceaseless energy and crcumspection.
We turn eyes TO Richmond, and the contrast
is ppaliiDg, sckening TO the heart
When the character and aims of the paper
from which the above is taken are considered,
it win be found that it contains the highest
eulogy upon the present Chief Magistrate of
the United States that such sheet is capa-
bic of bestowing. 1t credits him with sleep
less energy, an infexible purpose, and that
rare and precious gift of craftsmanship, the
ability to select and surround himself with
men of ability, such as are best qualified to
promote the cause he seeis to advance
When it calls him an INSCRIPTIONS knave in
his end, we have only to remember that this
is the opinion of an advocate of human sla-
very. When it pronounces him fanatic in
his political views we have only to remem-
Der that this is the opinion of man who
with equal purposes and sincerity, would ap-
ply that epithet to George Washington or
Benjamin Franklin. 1t is the opinion of one
who regards every man as knave, who is
hostile to slavery and who seeks to secure
equal rights under the law to all men,

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-In the early stages
of the rebellion, patriotic citizen of Mem
don township enlisted and went South to fight
rebels and uphold the authority of the dear
old flag, leaving behind him a Young and
weeping wife. Calamity he fought, bled,
and-Was taken prisoner and hurried off into
the interior of Jeffdom. Days, weeks, months,
and even years passed away, and no tidings
came from him to the waiting and longing
wife, except such as to confirm her fears that
he was dead. A year ago she gave up all
hope of his return, and welded another, and.
as the sequel proved, less loved husband
A few days ago the soldier having been re-
leased from durance vile in rebel prison, re-
turned to his home and found his wife married
to and living with another husband. Matters
were explained, and husband No. l, like a
gallant soldier, left the lady to choose which
husband she would live; with in the future.
True to her first love she replied, 81 will live

MArrERs AT RoME. The New York Tribune
censures r. NJ Blatchford, our late envoy,
and Rufus King, our present one, at the
Court of Rome, for their retention.of Sc
cession Secretary Of Legation. The Tribune
says that it has become scandal to every lib
erty-loving and loyal American. The Secre-
tary is a banker, WHO'S supposed to have ac-
cepted the post of Secretary of Legation, in
order the more effectually to stab our cause.
Good nature sometimes leads our foreign en-
bassadors to patronize men of secession SYM
patty. After our defeat at Chickamanga, the
Secretary did not hesitate TO openly proclaim
his support of the rebel cause.

that neither the charter of Galena nor the
