The Decay OF Public Spirit lin the
South.
From the Richmond Examiner, Jan. u.


From the Richmond Examiner, Jan. II.
1t Is very true that we have a very pow
erful and persevering enemy, who does not
grudge any expenditure OF treasure or of
blood in order to subjugate our country /;
but the more powerful that enemy is, the
more enormous have been his effor5 aud
expenses and lavish waste of life up to this
time, all the worse is his chance for ever
attaining the end he proposed to himself at
first. Belt remembered that our enemy is,
IN theory, crushing rebellion by invading
and couquering the land Of the "rebels.n0
he is bound, by his own theory of the Sit
uatiOn, not only to keep advancing, attack
ing and oyerthrowiDg everything which
stands against him, TO stride over the land.
not only overrunniug, but also holding,
garrisoningr governing he is bound not
only to assail and capture all cities and
towns, but to reduce the population to
quiet and conteuted obedience, People do
not crush rebellions by sailing about and
looking in At certain harbors and river
mouths as the Yankees have been doing 40
long at.Charleston, and did the other day
at Wilmington nor by leaving a abroad
track CT burnt houses and mills; nor by
stealing any amount of cotton nor by get
ing possession OF some twenty thousand
non comoatant people, whom they must
teed aud support; still less by fighting q
desperate and bloody campaign of nine
mouths at the cost OF hundred and ffty
Thousand men, which leaves the army tn at
purports to be crushing the rebellion, at a
poiot which 1t might have reached in ships
at the beginning of the nine months, with.
out hurting hair of any ones head. Even
that most fatal aud uuspeskable canal of
Dutch Gap, to which the singular Yankee
nation evidently attached some superstt~
uous Significance, Is no canal at all. In
order to make it a canal, it appears that it
would be necessary to blow up consider
able portion OF the bed of James river, and
Butler is not the man to set rivers on FIRE,
No Yankee fleet will ever pass through that
canal and come on to Richmond.
To be sure We are threatened With Ger
tian enormous movements this winter and
spring which surpass in grandeur of
conception everything whtca has yet en-
auated even from the Yankee mind. We
know: we know: bat the truth is that Wa
begin TO be tired hearing of those grar5
conceptions they grow mouotooous: ana

Pendous and supernatural campaivns fore-

The tort itself shows more plainly the
mark of the enemy's Ere. Deep holes are
dug in the parapets, and many of the ira"
verses are marked and SCARED. On en-
teriDg the upper end we found the soldiers
at work repairing their wooden quarters
which had been dreadfully shattered by the
shell, but not burned Farther on, brick
chimnies in some places and blsckened
ashes in others, alone marked where diff.
rerent wooden structures had stood. Full
ten days have elapsed since the lombard
ment closed, and no doubt many OF the
most striking evidences of its fury had
been efFaced. The shot and shell, which
was at one time plentifully strewn over the
whole ground in the interior of the fort,
had been gathered up, and the parade ap-
peared as level as formerly.
