For such is the meaning of Lees sur

lose everything. Lee, not Davis, is their
leader. He may be the head of faction,
not of people. Davis is politician !;
Lee soldier. The military yshead gone
and there is nothing left. If Johnston is
wise he will follow Lees example. If
be Is not wise he will earn the execrations
of the South for useless waste of blood
that must follow the necessity of bis aa-
utilization. With him it is question of
days. He must bow to fate and succumb
or accept swift destruction. There is no
other alternative. The most faint hearted

Late advices from Charleston state
that the Provost Marshal's Office is daily
througed with the inhabitants anxious to
take the cath of allegiance. There is
great scarcity Of food in that city, and
great numbers of the poor are threatened
with starvation. Many additional pieces
of artillery have been found in Charleston
and vicinity, sufficient to make the entire
number captured by the national author,
tiles since the flight of the rebels nearly
five hnndred. Vast quantities of hidden
ammunition have also recently been dis.
covered.
