\ Lrings "tidings of great joy.'' From Johnston's
i Island, from Fort Delaware, Lafayette, Warren,
Camp Chase and l'oint Lookout, the invatiablo
voice that comes to lis breathes of an early
peace. , Each one appear* to agree with the
other, that Lincoln will undoubtedly be elected
the next President; and yet, strange as the
anomaly may be, conscientiously utters his con
viction that there must cx n cessitute be a speedy
cessation of hostilities. Ask the reason why
and they tell you, because the Democratic party
will never submit . to a continuation of the
war; because already a silent revolution is at
work that is ready to buvst whenever the yet
unadjourned Chicago Convention chooses to
\ re-assemble, and dictate to" the people who
I have adopted its platform what they have to do
' in their own behalf; because Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois, and perhaps others of the Western
States, are prepared to force themselves out of
a Union that has hnpn en tmtntnt
un.niv,
because the majority of the people of the North
are.ripp.for resistance to the tyranny that has
delpgecl the country with blood.
There may be something in the declaration
of one of these officers, and a very intelligent
gentleman, that within sixty days after the reelection
of Lincoln, he will be unable prosecute
the war, by reasons of difficulties at home ; but
we prefer to watoh and wait. ' \Vc have so often
been deluded by these syren songs as to
doubt every thing but realities ; and grateful as
the hope above expressed may be to the hearts
of our people we urge them not to relax their
effoits, or base a thought of future joy on any
anticipations of help from the North. Experience
hac often demonstrated that we must depend
alone upon ourselves, and not until wc do
this with a will that shows the stubborn sineer
ity of our hearts, can \vc hope to succeed in
-our cause.
A Lesson.?Charles Lamb?who hns not
.heard of the "gentle Charles ?"?was much addicted
to the .wine cup. Hear his solemn
warning:
"The waters have gone over me. But out
of the black depths could I be heard, I would
cry out to all those who have set a perilous
flood. Could the youth to whom the flavor of
his first wine is delicious as the opening*scenes
of life, or the entering upon some newly discovered
paradise, look into my desolation, and
be made to understand what a drear thing it
is when a man shall feel himself going down a
precipice with open eyes atid passive will?to
see his destruction and have no power to stop
it, and yet feel it all the way emanating from
himself; to sec all goodness emptied out ol
him, and yet not be able to forget a time when
itwas otherwise ; to bear about the piteom
spectacle of his own ruin ; could he see my
fewred eye, feverish with last night's drinking,
and feverishly, looking for the night's repeti
lion of the follv : conld he but feel the. borlu
of the death out of which I hourly, with fecb
ler onvcry, strive to be delivered?it were enongl
to msfke him dash the sparkling beverage t(

The Times, correspondent is informed on theauthori- i
ty of porsous in the confidence of the Confederate Government
that everj* Southern State would consent to
Bend delegates to a general convention, on condition
that tho hediTnl Government should consider Vir.itnin
as one State, und not as two. Kext, that in any State
partially occupied or menaced by the Federals, the
Federal soldiers should possess no vote ; and thirdly,
tlmt in border States, such us Maryland, martial law
should bo su-pended, and civil law re-established. The
writer anticipates that if tho convention should ever
meet, tho South would command a majority, as Ohio
nnd several other Stales would join tho South ruthcr
than renew a hopeless struggle.

Prussian colors, and on reaching Broirnrliaven
again changed colors and hoisted the Cont'eder- ;
ate flag. The pilot who took her to Bremer
haven believes she still remains there. She
steamed 10 knots at half speed, and is reported
. under the command of Captain Seinmes, (late
of the Alabama,) with 300 men-on hoard, and
is pierced for 40 guns. She is said to have

The Enemy on the Manassas Gap Railroad.,?We
learn tliat at least 20,000 men are
t scattered along the above road, from Alexandria
to Front Royal, to protect it from our gal,
jant partisans. Finding this large force inelfec
tual for the protection of Sheridan's coinmuni'
cations, they have resorted to the cowardly ex
pedicnt of placing inoffensive citizens upon the
t cars, in exposed positions, for the pin pose of
> deterring the Confederates from attacking the
- trains. A number of citizens living on the
line of the road have been arrested and placed
on the cars. Among the number we notice
. the names of Robert E. Roy tun, J. W, Foster, i
u S. 1). Means, J. A. Cochran, J. Ilondcrehall'

says several recently captured prisoners of war

Bi.uk Mountain, Ala.. Saturday morning,
Octol er 22, 1864.? It U tlic prevailing opinion
here that. Slucum'a 20th corps of Yankee
soldiers stil' occupy Atlanta, and only that one,
but some prisoners, captured recently and
brought in yesterday, affirm that thcic are
three corps yet there, and that Sherman with
four more had" "headed" General Hood's army
in the march for Chattanooga and turned him
back.in the direction of this place. To this delusion
ot theiis they owed their capture, as they
admitted, having been sut prised by our torces,
and they concluded Gen. Hood's movements
were very mysterious, and that his army was
entirely lost from Sheiman. In' this opinion I
fully coincide. If it were not for Sherman's
superior numbers there would bc'no risk in
putting every confidencp m General Hood's
success. 1 hero arc some who do not doubt it
even now while tlie disparity in numbers is
thought to be so great.
An officer yesterday told me that this difference
was daily growing less. Men were making
their appearance in the ranks again, with
gun and knapsack, who had not been heard
from before in months?lying in hospitals and
out of the way. The tocsin of a forward march
has stirred up the smouldering fires of their
patriotism and hope, and their step is once
moiv firm and hearts buoyant.

Republican of yesterday morning says :'
The movements of the enemy on the coast of
Carolina and Georgia, for some weeks past,
have kept file military authorities wide-awake
and puzzled them no little. . War vessels and
transports, the latter in considerable number,
have been hovering around, apparently with
some malicious intent, lu the last few- days
their manoeuvres have become more apparent'.
As if apprehensive that we had a fleet of blockade
runneis at Savannah anxious to get out,
they have effectually blocked up the channel
of Savannah and Warsaw rivers. Considerable
bodies of men have'been landed on Tybee and"
l?ig Warsaw Islands, and a flagstaff planted on
the lattei from which floats the haled ensign of
Abolition tyranny. Whether the men landed
an: Yankee troops, or Confederate prisoners ot
war brought to be exehai ged does not. appear ;
there are circumstances that, favor the belief
that it is an cxcha: ge movement. A flair of
truce boat is expected up the river in u. day or
two, mid then all doubts will be removed, Jn
the meantime,'our authorities are exercising all
vigilance, ai'd holding themselves prepared to
meet any emergency that may arise.
Capture of Mosby's Cannon.?The Yankees
are boasting of the capture of Col. Mosby's
cannon. They weru piloted to the place where
they were secreted, by a traitor, who received
$1,000 as a reward of his treachery. Some
half a dozen men who were guarding the cannon
were also captured. This is a small loss
to the gallant Colonel, who can supply their
places by captures from the enemy. It is seldom',
however, that he uses artillery, as his
movements are so rapid that artillery would
prove an encumbrance to him.

Mr*. Butler on a Vibit to tiik Beast.?A
City Point correspondent writes to the Tribune
of the 22d that Mrs. Butler and family arrived
at her husband's headquarters on the 20lh.?
On the same day she rode along the lines and
paid a visit to Dutch Gap Canal, nnd no doubt
she found it an interesting triumph of engineer
ing skill and Yankee enterprise, which, as a
Nevr England woman, ehe thoroughly appreciated.
The detectives of New York made a descent
upon a manufactory of counterfeit fractional

cent notes.
