The nelgs of defeat at Kinston, which
we're transmitted 70 US ria Richmond, on
authority Of the b0s-sfal Bragg, have been
mstamorphosed, by the pluck and endur-
ance oil our troops, aud the courageous skill
Of SchoReld and Cox, into tiaiugs Of tri-
umpb. There Is no question Of the fact
that we we're at frat driven back, with
some loss, by the assault of the desperate
Zoe; but our forces held their position with
the stubborn tenacity spd courage which
has throughout the war. characterized the
Northern army, snd, after three days hard
fighting, have won = complete success. The
rebels have fallen back. across the Neuse
river into Kinston, and cur forces occupy
the ground CT the lsie bsttle, and hold
the south bank of the riYor. The loss on
esch side Is probably about thu same but
the gain Of position snd The prestige of
victory. is entirely with our forces. An
honor toGenersls Cox and SchOield and
their gallant Western boys.
Additional significance Is lent TO this
afsir by tho probability that Kinston or
Goldsboro will be the scene of the final
bsttle which shall administer a coup de
grace to the rebellion. The desperation
with which the rebels fought indicates the
Importance which they attach TO success
here. There seems to be q general con
eentration Of both armies in thst quarter
Our readers will remember the declaration
Of Lee that Goldsboro must be held st all
hazards. Uneuestionsbly our forces gre
uniting for its reduction. Gen. Meagher,
whose corps was recently landed at New
bern, hiss been reinforced by General
Cox's division Of the Twenty-thiid Corps,
from Wilmington 5ia Newbsrn, and now
General Couch has marched overland from
Wilmington, with that unopposei facility
charsetsristic Of late, Of movements in
rebel territory, and has united with seho-
Rsls in front of Kinston. Terry Is left on
the Cape Fear river, to aWsit Sherman, and,
when a junction is made, the combined
armies viii move hoTthRsEd, to eoncen-
trste their toteas with Schofeld, or more
probably TO take Kinslon and GoIdsbOro
in the rear. Meantime Johnston, who fell
back to Charlotse under the expectation
that shermsn would advance on Rsleigh,
has found himself left fsr in the rear By
the movement Of the latter General toward
Fayetteville and G5ldsboIo. his natural
course is to move bis srmy, via Salisbury,
Greensboro, Raleigh and Goldsboro to
Kinston, thereto await Sherman. That
be has commsnced doing so is sppsrent
from the fact that General S. D. Lees
corps Of his army, Is slresdy st Kinsson.
This section viii therefore, in all probsbili-
ty, be the theatre on which the last scene Of
the REBELLION viii be plsyed. A5l5a

The youngest veteran soldier In our

he was fourteen, and participated in the
battles of Winchester, Cedar Mountain,

A new nslo-drama, produced with splen-

who devised and executed the scenery were

1t Is said that many lives were saved

The rebeis feel good The Richmond
pspers are erultsnti The clouds which
have long hang heavily over the Southern
prospect, and which have gathered darker
snd more dark around the cspitsl Of tbe
rConfederscy," are St LAST dispelled by the
sunshine of victory Twoignsl successes
$50 say the rebel chiefs) have recently
grscsd their arms. And therest the news-
papers Of the South go into psrozysms Of
joy, and swell the loud pasn of triumph.
Let US take look at these two grand
rebel t-iumphs.
The Ansf, so claims General Lee, wss
won by Wade Hampton over Fitzpatrick,
st some place afor prudential reasons" un-
mentioned. sWe presume, however, that
the rebel leader means the skirmish at
CheFsw, to which reference has slresdy
been made by Richmond papers. General
Klpstriek is used to being thrashe1. BE
wss whipped (Soutbern papers being
witnesses) al the way from Atlanta
70 Savannah. He was terribly beaten
from Savannah 70 Columbis, snd he
nov Is being defeated steadily from
Columbia 20 Kinsicn. Like the Brit
isb st Waterloo, however, Fitzpatrick never
knows when be Is whipped, and frequently
comes out. OF one Of these defeats in better
trim thsn bsfore she battle. We positively
expect that ne VIII have the impudenee 90
be licked al the way 10 Richmond, and to
enter the rebel cspisal after the profound
est thrashing that soldier ever received.
In view Of this habit Of his, and III isw of
the fact that Sherman has since reported
himself at Laurel Blu tt0enty Jioe miles
north Of Clera0, and says lb he Is al
right, the impoTtsnceo Of H7uI pson's victory
can be justly estimated.
The other rebel victory is that at Kins-
ton, over General Cox. Bragg, the san
guine srdor of whose nsture Is well
iypiRed in his name, repo ted. on the
ninth instant, glorious success over our
forces, in which they were driven thres
miles, with q loss Of 1900 men, and three
pieces of artillery. Bragg Dragged too
soon. The battle was at It's crisis when he
wrote his lying telegram. It ragged for
three days, and wss ended by the retreat Of
the rebels across ths Neuse river into
Kinston, leaving in our bsnis the very
ground On which the Confederate general
penned his dsspstch clsiming a victory,
and leaving hosts Of prisoners in our hands,
aul dead and dying on the field.
Thus, on examination, the rebel victories
melt into sir nike the basalazs fabric sf 8
vision
There is 8 moral in all this false boasaing.
The rebel csuse Is in the last straits Of des.
psrstion. The Southern people know #,
and this very knowledge completes the 1
certainty Of tie Confederate ruia. The |
people must be caesroj up with the news
Of success. Tie deipsir induced by the |

The history Of London theatres, re-

IN Germany, csme to this city when he
was about two years old. Soon after his
arrival here he wss taken sick and lost his
hearing. By degrees he became first deaf
and then DUMB. For nearly ten years he
was mute, and unable to hear the loudest
sound or to srtieulate q word. About one
year ego he was placed by his parents in
the hands Of DE-. Lighthill, who so far sue
ceeded In restoring Tim to his lost powers
Of hearing and utterance that no can con-
verse with those who speak to him distinct

having previously spplied to other physi-
clans without success. But we soon found
under yoHr treatment, evidences of decid-

soon changed to white one, indicating a
healthy, healing process. We are vet
making use of your prescription, and hope
