nothing but q continuation of theiy good luck
IN the future. Hold has been demolished
and his army scattered aud denssr.liEed.
The Nashville Press. one of the-wsak sup
ports of the yankee canse, is so overcome,
with the prospect, thatit expands it's ideas
in the following comprehensive manner:
A leading Administration paper says the
rebels are now reduced TO oneefhcient army,
and, that one is Eieli fast and hard by the
Army OF .he Potomac Il seems to think,
however, If ths remnant OF Hoods forces
escape into Georgia, aAd the population of
that State should go through the pleasant
process of another Wholesale cocscriptlon, 1t
may be reorganized and be able 10 take the
field by spring. Ii also believes it to be pos
sibls the rebels will be able 20 add one hun
dred thousand negroes TO their raukS, IN
which contingency the war might DO pro-
tracted beyond the next year.
In regard to any more conseriptions IN
Georgia, tina. programme will never be re-
sumed Gen. Shermau's march soross the

resistance, Is conclussfe to our mind on that
score. The people Of Georgia nat in the army,
are about done. as will be fully evident in q
short time. No more large armies will coll
front the Union forces upon their soil
As 10 putting one or two thousand ne
groes in the rebel ranks there are no well de-
fined indications as yet that such step viii
be taken. Indeed, the opposition. and di-
visions which ensued upon ihs Introduction
of the propositions in tbs rebel Congress, Te
think settles the question no matter how
much bluster and brag may pervade the col
umns of their papers on the subject IL she
spirit Of dissatisfaction and eross-hring man
ifestsd through leading Southern journals,
means any thing a. ell. is is that there is q
greater probability OF JEFF Dssis besng an

contingency for which We presume oor Gan-

ours. the end, so far as any large armies may
be involved, will NOT be very remote There
are agencies at work more potent for the
Hindine up of the rebellion than even the
brave men in the fsld. and it will not be
long till the fruit becomes apparent.
There Is skeleton in their closet" not
with@;andiug the merry jssts and loud boasts
of success, as witness the following indica-
sions Of the Gold-ometer:

Il would seem also, from = communica-
tion from soldier, printed by the Nashville
Press. that the question Of subsistence for
soldiers families is not easily solved The
communicst on concludes with the following
suggestion:
VIII some economist please tell "a how 70

We are nos beggarr and do not desire our
families TO become pauPefs. Before the war y
we had suficieney of the necsezaries oi lie
