SPIRIT OF THE REBEL PREss.-The
Richmond Examiner says it has been a
great misfortune for the confederacy that
president Davis considers himself mil.
itary man:
"lf he bad been some worthy planter,
who never was either at West Point or
Mexico, and had no special qualifications
save manly, straightforward southern
spirit, then be never would have thought
himself competent to plan distant cam.
paigns and interfere with generals in lhe
field he would then have been well
pleased TO repose the entire military con-
troll in the hands Of some one great cap>
tain, whom the unanimous voice of the
army and the country would soon haye
designated to him. Bot Mr.. Davis un-
luckily studied at West Point; still more
unfortunately, in Mexico, he one day
formed his regiment Of two hundred and
fifty Mississippi volunteers into the shape
of a V, and received charge Of Mexi-
cans la fourchette."
The Enquirer Of the 10th has an arli-
Gle on the results Of the campaign of
1864, in which it says:
Something of our military failures in
Georgia and Tennessee must be attribu.
ted 20 the public discomfort in those
states. We may not vndicale the remo-
val Of the brave and judcious Johnston,
we may not approve OF the course of the
president in other respects, but we are
sa 'islied that the time and talents devoted
10 opposition and complaint is so much
deducted from the great duty Of resisting
The enemy. 1t is the duty of public
men to cultivate the spirit of resistance
in people. Les them be dismayed by
no reverses, discouraged by no disasters.
Hc' 'c'h uctcIhtHc 10 TbOuke ana resist,
md terms of peace and justice will be
'xtorie9 from an enemy exhausted Of re-
ources and despairing of success
The Richmond Wing has severe ar
icla on the management of the trars-
Mississippi department: by Gen. Kirby
smith, and insists that he has none of
he attributes of great warrior; that he
as had magnificent opportunities, and
as only achieved magnificent failures.
The Enquirer calls on the rebel sec.
atary of war to take possession Of the
'ansille railroad, which it saws is miser-
bly, mismanaged. The nature of the
oubies is thus stated
"Unless that road can be properly
anased, can have head aud directory

ar leaky engines, and above all, with~
inii Of the road, it will be but a few
sekS before the city will be besieged

! OF the management of this road. Du-

ris Of bribery aud corruption, aud the
