GENERAL ScoTr's OPINION OF GENE
RAJ TAYLoR.-With q good store Of
common sense, General Taylor's mind
had not been enlarged and refreshed by
reading or much converse with the world.
Rigidity Of ideas was the consequence.
The frontier and small posts had been
his home. Hence he was quite ignorant
for his rank, and quite bigoted in his
ignorance His simplicity was childlike,
and with innumerable prejudices-amu-
sing and incorrigible-well suited to the
tender age. Thus, if a man, however
respectable, chanced to wear coat of an
unusual color, or his hat little on one
side of tho head, or an officer to leave
the corner of his handkerchief dangling
from his outside pocket-in, any such
case, this critic held the offender to
whom he would not, to use BIS off,
repeated phrase, TOT n with . pair of
tongs." Any allusion to literature much
beyond good old Dillworth.s spelling
book, on the part of one wearinga : sword.
was evidence, with the same judge, of
utter unfitness for heavy marchings and
combats. In short, few men have ever
had more comfortable, labor-saving
contempt for learning Of every kind
Yet this old soldier and neophite states
man had the true basis of great cha
racter; pure, uncorrupted morals, COM
bined with indomitable courage. Kind
hearted, sincere, and hospitablc in
plain way, he had no vice but prejudice,
rnanv friends. and left behind him not an
enemy in the world, not even 10 the au.
photographer, whom, in the blindness OF
his great weakness, he, after being named
for the Presidency, had seriously
wronged. Autobiography.

In the fall of Fort Fisher the troops of
the Confederacy have lost fort, but not
their honor. North Carolina, in particu-
lar, has reason to be proud of the prowess
of her sons. This is not the first, the
second, nor even the fiftieth time, that
the soldiers of that State have proved the
mettle whereof they are made. There
are no better soldiers in the Con(ederacy
or the world. There is very little gas Or
humbug about North Carolina but, at
the pinch of the bill, she is always strong
and true. We have no words to express
our admiration Of the stern and steadlast
heroism she has exhibited in this war.

Of the British Government have no
thought Of interfering in our quarrel. =
They are busy nursing their gouty limbs
and strengthening their hold upon power,
in the hope that when they are called
upon to "shuffle off this mortal coil !"
they may die with the harness on their
backs. Their course, though they are
too blind to see it. will ~ certainly lead
to war with the United States as that
the earth endures-a war in which the
South, if subjugated. will not be reluc-
tant to enter. 1t was only the other day
that Mr.. Anthony Barclay, formerly Bli>
tish consul at New York, and pow resi-
dent in Savannah. was rudely repulsed
by General Sherman with the remark,
that as soon as the rebels were disposed
of (Which he seemed to think would be
done in a few months) the United States
would turn their guns against Great Bri-
tain. He said the ocean would soon
swarm with five hundred Federal cruisers,
which would sweep the British flag from
the sea and that after England had been
sufficiently reduced and exhausted, he
would land upon her shores and pitch
his tent in Hyde Park. These threats
may never be carried into execution, but
they prove the ontmns Of the North, and
leave no doubt that the first thing the
Federal Government will do, upon the
conclusion of peace with the South, will
be to provoke war with "pcrfaious
Albion"
A monitor was sunk last night about
eight hundred yards from Fort Sumter,
probably by torpedo, and only her
smoke stack is visible to-day. About fifty
yards distant is another wreck, supposed
to be second monitor sunk while going
to the relief Of the first. There were
seven off the bar yesterday, and now
only five can he seen.
Persons lately arrived from Savannah
say that Mr.. G. B. Lamar, resident
there, and at one time leading banker
in New York, has taken the oath of allie
glance to the United States.

Edward Everett was an orator and
scholar, but postcrity will never pro-
nounce him great man. It requires
other qualities than he possessed to con-
stitute that character. The plumage Of
the swan and the music Of the lark CON-
hined in=eHe bird would not make an
eagle. 1t does not require either quick
ness ofapprehension, rinventive powers,
or oratory and scholarship, to make up
greatness. But imnoyablc steadiness Of
purpose and the most habitual and cxclu-
sive devotion to principle are absolutely
essential to great man. Edward Eve
rctt might describe the character of Wash
ington, but he never could initiate the
qualities which he described. He was
simply an artist, an artist of genius per-
haps, who could paint a beautiful por-
trait Of great man, but the original and
the painter arc two very different per

FROM CHARLESTON.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch
CHARLESTON, January 16, 1865.

CHARLESTON, January l6, 1860.
mS31a she1saii against Charleston and Branchville.
Refugees from Savannah, who arrived
here on the 10Th, stated that he had sent
one corps up the west bank of the .Sa-
vannah towards Augusta, that second
corps had gone to Wilmington, and that
two corps were moving around by water
to Beaufort. The corps sent up the west
bank of the Savannah, it has since been
ascertained, was recalled after it had pro-
ceeded some fifteen miles. The force
dispatched to Beaufort, however, moved
out from Port Royal on the 18th, and on
the 14th it encountered our advance,
(Colcock's cavalry and drove it back On
Pocotaligo, which was evacuated by Ge-
neral McLaws during the following night
without loss of men or material. Gene
raj McLaws took up position behind the
Combahce, after destroying the bridges
by which he crossed that river.
From Pocotaligo to Branchville the
distance does not exceed forty-fve miles,
and can be easily accomplished in three
DAYS. The enemy once firmly estab>
lished on the railroad, either at Branch
vile or some point nearer Augusta, and
the fail of Charleston becomes only a
question OF time, and short time at that
We may leave i. to the President and
General Lee to decide what effect such
a movement would have upon Richmond
and the Army of Northern Virginia.
At Branchvillc, Sherman's TANKS would
be protected by the Edist1 and its
swamps on the left, and by the Santce
and it's ssyamps on the right, whilst his
base at Charleston would be unassailable
either by land or water.
If the official telescope at the capital
| could be elevated just enough to take in
that part of the Confederacy which lies
beyond the boundaries of Virginia, it
would be well. Leaving the military
| aspect of the question entirely out OF
consideration, the authorities cannot fail
| to understand that the failure toreinforce
the army in Georgia and South Carolina
is producing very bad effect. The enc
mics both of the cause and of the Prcsi
dent are taking advantage Of this omis
sion, to call it by no harsher name, and
are multiplying the diff ;ulties in every
way.
The retention Of Charleston is not, a:
many Of its inhabitants imagine, indis
pensable to our success; but the reten
ton of the military line from Kingsville
to Augusta is.
The project of abolishing slavery, OF

would be rejected by those Powers, il

the Cotton States and forcing upon then
the necessity Of considering the pro
priety Of re-adjusting their political rela

thousand slaves, as suggested by tn,

States, and the proposition even 10 pm

TUESDAY MORNING. JANUARY "a, 1865.


ern journalists that W. II. Seward, A.
NJ, will deliver an eulogium upon the late
Edward Everett. We know of no one
who could more appropriately sing the
funeral dirse. They were brethren in
patriotism and elevation of character. -
Both were devoted to the cause of the
Union, and neither of them ever thought
of their own interests. If there was any
human weakness about either of these
great men, it was total neglect and OBJ
livion of number one. Seward prefers
that Lincoln should be in the Presidency
to wearing the purple himself, and Evess
rett, at an carly age. sacrificed the Chureh=
for the State. We should like to hear
Stewards funeral Grafton. An incidental
allusion might be made in it to the death
of the country.
We have no wish to speak evil Of the
dead least of all, of any man who once
had claims, apparently, to our respect
and admiration. Even when the veil has
fallen, and we discover that we had been
dupcd and humbugged, the subject is not
pleasant one for reflection, and we
would dismiss it altogether. Edward
Everett was great scholar, great ora
tor, and once an ardent champion of the
Constitution. No one was more earnest
and emphatic than he in his advocacy Of
Southern rights. He would shoulder his
musket and fight for the South if it's
slave institutions were assailed. He was
fond of pointing to Jamaica and st. Do
mingo to show the evil effects of abolish
ing slavery. And then to see this man,
as soon as that attempt was made, urg-
ing it on with just as much vehcmence
as he had deprecated it; talking about
his musket against the South; strewing
his rhetorical pinks and carnations
around the footsteps of Lincoln, and de-
voting the land of Washington, where he
had been received with open hands and
hearts, to fire and sword. For his own
fame, he ought to have died before the
war. and carried the secret of his hollow.
ness to the grave.
There is no excuse for his apostacy in
the Union frenzy that carried away the
Northern conservative masses at the be-
ginning of the war. He might have
stood by the Union and yet preserved
his own dignity and consistency. HI
might have stood aloof from the crusade
of blood like r. G. Winthrop, OF, whilst
he held by the Union, have protested
like Franklin Pierce, against the crimes
that have been committed in its name
There was no necessity that he should
make himself superserviceable lackJ
of Lincoln, and emulate B. F. Butler
Gushing and Dickerson in shameless
political tergiversation. He might, will
perfect safety to his reputation and him
} self, have refrained from violent ant
! demonstrative antagonism to his oil
opinions and principles. There are hun
dreds, perhaps thousands, Of his owr
party in Massachusetts who, at this very
, hour, are opposed to the whole system
Of coercion, and shudder at its gigantic
horrors of blood and crime. Edward

There is no place, after all, like home, and no
home like our own sunny land. Home is where
the heart IS, where the dear ones gathered to-
gether and whether it be hovel or palace,
the chief attraction and JOY of it are the fond at-
fections which clus ter and put forth their flowers
and fragrance beneath its roof. The South,
though desolated by the hand of war, is still the
spot where we were born whose beautiful land
scapes are mirrored in hearts; whose men
and women are the companions of our childhood
and of maturer years, flesh Of our flesh and bone
of our bone dearer to US from the sufferings
which have been the common lot. If we have
been tried in the fiery furnace of adversity, We
have come out purified by the process If we have
lost much, we have not lost all. The over-arch1ng
heavens and the mother earth are still the same
the stars which we watched in our infancy still
shine serenely over our heads; the grand old
mountains, the lovely valleys, the beautiful
rivers still offer their charms to our eyes; the
moral dignity, the elevation of the soul, the
generosity of spirit which have always char
acterised our people, and have formed the
peculiar glory and establishment Of our So
cial state, are still unimpaired. There are no
ruins which the vines of domestic virtues will not
render less unSghtly, and no storm so dark that
religious faith and hope will not discover some
rent in the clouds. and rejoice that behind the
transient vapors shine the everlasting stars. Here
is our home, and on the soil where we were born
there let us abide, and there return to the cart
from which we came Richmond Dispatch.
