Ai Disastrous Failure.
Tbe lon;,' entertained notisn of reducing
tie Confederates to submission by starvation
bas latterly been most effectually exploded.
.The evidence t?f people arriving from tbe
i*outh, and of those who have penetrated the
Confederacy. during the operations of the
present campaign, is unanimous to the effect
that plenty pervades agery department of the
rebellious States. .
It has ?lso been thought bj many that with
finarleial ruin, would come the submission of
the States in,rebellion. In reaching this con
elusion, people were quieted rather by their
hopes than their judgmeuts ; for in arriving^at
such a result, they ignored all the teachings
of history. The arms of France were victo
rious against combined Europe at a time
when her currency wa3 worth only the two
huudredth part of its nominal value; and, at
about the same time, t?) American colonies
were waging a successful war against Great
Britain, with a currency that was practically
worthless. So of the Confederacy, it is
some time since the currency of. the South
reached a depreciation that approximates very
close to absolute worthlessness. Aud yet thu
rebel armies tight as wei!, arc as ?eil. fed,
well clothed and well armed a? in the days
when a Confederate shinplasler was worth its i
loee in gold.
It has also beeu thought that*tho constant j
attrition of the rebel armies through the pro
cess of demoralization from defeat aud the
. length of thc conflict, and thc apparent,
hopelessness of their cause, would be in the
end to so reduce them that their effective
forc? would become no longer ava'lable for"
successful defense. In addition to this, it has.
been believed by many that the merciless
conscription would soon exhaust the fighting
malorial of thc South, so that, in alittlo while,
through sheer weakness, the rebellion would
be compelled to cease its efforts.
This idea, like all the others, has' been
proved to have been false. The rebel armies
are no where demoralized ; on the contyy,
they are everywhere a unit in their resistance,
to the North, and, in addition, present at ev
ery poiut a strength as numerically great, jn
spite of continued and enormous losses, as
that with which they ?ave opposed -us at any
tim." during the war.
Thus it will bo seen that the three maiD
causes upon which' the Administration ar^
?ts adherents have relied for assistance in I
suppression ol the rebellion; viz: starvation,
financial ruin, and demotatiou, have, all
failed to render the Union cause thc slightest
assistance. With ample supplies, with arnir?s
that are a unit in their resistance, the South,
oppose* us every where to-day witta ns much
determination and are net one rood nearer the
subjugation of the rebellion than we were
one year or two year* ago. We have captur
ed a lew forts and other strongholds: but WP
have not conquered the people : we do not
hold the country w>r have we suppressed to
any extent the spirit ol'the rebellion;
la saying these things, wc do not wish to j
say that the rebellion cannot be :>nt down : j
but we (lo liteau to *ay tba' the*p;tnirs now
attempting the task ate utterly unable to
t*fTwt?w?:at they have undertaken. Tfi'cyhave
spt::t some two thousand million dollars; haw
plunged the nation into practical bankruptcy:
have bad an armed force ol nearly br quite
two million men ; have sacrificed a quarter
million ofiivt-s, and incapacitated an equal
number ol men from theie duties as citizens;
have demoralized the whole country,-andi
yet, despite al! thisc tremendous.sacrifices,
. have accumj lished scarcely anything towards i
tie subjugation of the rebellion.

TnE YACHT DEKRUG?SH.-The New York
Times learns.that the. British yacht Deer
hound, which happened t<-> be so opportunely
near the Alabama during her fight with the
Kearsagc, and wich rescued her commander,
and, at his urgent reque?i, took him into a
British harbor of refuge, is owned Ly the
lirm of Framer, TrenhoimA: Co., of Liverpool,
who aie the rebel agents for that port, and
that abe is thus almost as real rebel property
as the Alabama herself.
The neW-Secrctary of tbe Treasury en
tered upon the functions of his ofiiee yester
day in the'person of George A. Treuholm?
Esq., a oartuer of tho welland widely known
commercial and shipping .firm of Frazer,
Trenholm & C<>., Charleston, South Carolina, |
and Liverpool, England. 2\ir. Trecholm brings
to assisi L\??ii in the administration f f his de
partment the v.'.u'si vigorous qualities of mind,
while his large and varied experience in
monetary and financial affairs in the Confed
eracy, as well as in Europe, wiii be of va-t j
assistance in the perfection of financial mea
sures .in the future. Heretofore Mr. Tren
Lolin has been most favorably known on two
continents only as a successful shipping mer
chant, bis commercial tastes and pursuits
disinclining him from the pursuit of honor in !
the political W&rld. The promulgation of j
the fact of thc appointment yesterday infused !
a*new strength into Government securities,
and the popular expression was almost'un
animous in support of the select;.'.!! ma-'ie.

RAID ON THE GEORGIA RAILROAD.-Bypas
.seng'Ts that arrived on the train this morn
ing, we learn that the Federals captured two
trains, yesterday morning, at Conycrs. One
of the engineers escaped, and procuring a
mule, made his way towards Covington. When
he arrived there he saw a force of the enemy
approaching thc place, and continued on
down to Rutledge.
All the s'oek of thc company, we learn,
was mored from Rutledge to Union Point last
night.
Rumor also says thc enemy have burned
Y.ellow River aud Alcuva bridges, and thc
depot at Covington.
Wc give placo to these reports in order lo
satisfy thc anxiety of our people for intclli-'-'
gence of cper&tiotis froiu Atlanta and vicin
ity, not that we give them full credit, but in
order that they may not be deceive! and
unnecessarily excited-by wild and unfounded
rumor*.
Now is the time for our people to exercise
a spirit of patient fortitude and prepare to,i
meet the enemy. ;
We wou+J counsel all to I"1 on the alert and
ready at a moments warning lo meei a"}' .
force moving in ibis direction.
The policy of ihe enemy a? long as he re
mains in his present position will be to send
out raiding parties tor the purpose o'" laying
waste the country, and deslio) ing uli impor

JBuuld only be heard an occasional explosion, !
and the qniel was so unusual us to cause gen- !

The shelling of the city ,for the past two ?
days has been merely nominal; and bas amount

i bee? thrown have produced no damage, and j
j inflicted no injury. |

Au Army Wedding.
There are very few soldiers wb? Lavo beeu
in the Western anny who will cot recognize
?ii the following picture, drtvWn for the Mont
gomery Mail, a great similarity to many ar
my weddings' which they have seen. The mar
riage took place at Hull's Gap, Tenn. :
An Alabama soldier, who to name would
be too personal, but who is uglier than the
renowned Suggs-in fact, so far diseased with
the chronic big ugly UH to have failed procur
ing a furlough from Brigadier Gen. Law
solely on . that ground-wooed and won a
buxom Tennessee maid of doubtful age.
Whilst Special" was out that day with his
gun, ou a porcine scout, for the purpose of
reinforcing his haversack, he w^j> interrupted
iu his reconnoisance by, a husky voice emit
ting i?o,m a ten by fifteen pen, inviting Lim
to halt. Entering the low door, he found a
wedding was on the tapis, cn route to a hap
py termination. A mirthful Texan-?tot uec-s
easary to name-had a copy ol' thc Army Reg

corated with a piece of white bandage, such
as is used by our army doctors-;ail ready lo

not be undone by the teeth. Thc bridegroom
stood largely over six honest feet io'ni* socks,
