American Prospects. Among those who are born of wojpen thero beats not a bolder heart than that of Jefferson Davis. We are^not ashamed to confess to a large amount of hero wor? ship for the man for whom his Northern foes can. find no-bettor name than rebel slave owner. Never unduly elated by success, never dismayed by adversity, his voice rings out clear as a trumpet cull on tho darkest day that befalls his country! Not Cato himself spoke to his.little Sen? ate at TJtica with more dignity andstead fastness than docs the Southern President whon addressing his^^U'erring fellow countrymen. Four.^years have passed .? since the tremendous struggle began with which his name will-be forovor identified; and, if American figures can be trusted, (a point on winch we always feel, serious misgivings,) those four years have witness? ed a greater amour t of bloodshed and a larger loss of human life than any other four consecutive years since the deluge. A The loss of 10,000 men on a single day ?has become quite a common.event; and a conscription of-oue, two or three hundred thousand at a time, no longer excites as? tonishment. " The wit vo of war has surged from North to South and from East to West. It lias been waged by land and sea, on, mid ocean and in harbor, and up thousands of miics of rivers?in the midst efforcs't, oh spacious plains and on sides of lofty mountains. Professional soldiers and amateur generals havq" tried hands upon it; attorneys and.. poii! icians have brought their talents to its aid; every in? vention of modern t imes has been pressed into its service. New tangled ships, can? non of hithorto unknown calibre, rifles of ' novel construction, new tactics arid new - tools, all have been used in turn, and yet tho en5 has not come. Such energy-such obstinacy, such, determination ? to win, have been shown on* both sides as were . hardly ever seen before, and such an amount of money expended as no other country ever spent in a period ten t imes as long. If, in the early days of this struggle, .wc were disposed to sneer at the - efforts of cither side, wc must now. all of us, confess that we had underrated both "their indentions and probable performance. It is a struggle of heroic proportions en both sides. But como what may. it is to tho weaker party that the highest 'amount of admiration h justly due; and what is truo of one'is doubly true of-tho other. And now, alter vicissitudes innumerable, tho tide..has turned of late against the South; a?d,? doubtless, sore discourage? ment has fallen opon many a heart which not long ago was exulting in the sense of ' victory, ft is not, indeed, a groat many wooks ago since wc were told on what was assumed to bo good authority, thai ' discouragement was universal throughout 'the Northern Sifcites, and that the ory for peace?peace at almost airy priee?was on every tongue Tho result shows tho folly of generalizing freely Irani particular instances, mid yet only forty-eight hours ago there wereihany faint-hearted friends of the Southern cause in a state bordering on despair about its future prospects. .'So many men are ready to rush from one extromo to its-opposite.] But clear across tho waters comes the bravo voice of Jeffer? son Davis; there is no quaver in its tones -r-ho speaks with no uncertain sound.? Few as aro his worUs r^??tliu" u>-uaj "vys* cannot for a moiru^doubthis resolution ; his voice JjwyfllTCor war! '.Dark as is I lie present hour, he has passed through hours as dark before, and through the gloom he believes he sees the coming dawn. When New Orleans was taken, when Vicksburg was surrendered, when Stonewall Jackson fell in- the. noonday of his glory, a sad? ness and discouragement spread over all the Southern Confederacy; and us their undaunted President raised anew_ their spirit, then, so we aro persuaded he will do now.:?Liverpool Albion. Gen. Forrest.?This brilliant officer receives a compliment from Gen. Thoma-. Ho deserves it. Like a fox squirrel, hit him where you will, and knock him from whatever linio or tree, lie always iaHs on his. feet. He has come out of-the "rough mill of Tennessee as good" asfc 'ie\v and bright as a dollar. With a grim smile, he says to his friends : '".I whipped all my ?fights over there, and I brought off two guns t. o c than I carried." Ono of-his d'visions\(Cha]meivJ wc hear, was pretty roughly handled, but the body of his com? mand is intact, and lives to be a thorn on the side of the Yankee invader -in what? ever field ho may find Iiim. Forrcstis a man who will never want for men, for manhood is drawn to his victorious ban? ner by an irresistible charm. Hen love triumph, its notes stir their hearts as with a trumpet. Wounds, fatigue, priva? tion, even death, count nothing as obsta? cles when the genuinely, heroic and suc? cessful chieftain waves them to battle with his flashing sword. Forrest is the Cid of the South-west, whose very name is a tower of strength to his friends and a word of terror to his foes. His fu-' ture is full of glorious promise, and may God spare him to strike yet more power? ful blows-for the independence of his na? tive land.?MobileEveningJS'cics. . -,-?-1 A gentlemah who was with the army on Sunday, at Petersburg, when Messrs. Stephens, Hunter and Ophpbcll passed through on?" lines, on their way to Wash? ington; informs the. Sentinel that thc.shout ing along both lines was prolonged and enthusiastic. It would, indeed, be delight? ful if thero wcro any.room to hope that the Washington authorities are prepared for such terms of peaco as would allow the soldiers to disperse. Once before the acclamations of the two armies were uni ten. When the)- lay cohfonted at Fred cricksburg, a fine militaay band played in succession Yankee Doodle, Dixie, and other national airs. Theso wore appro? priately responded to by the two armies alternately. But when the band struck up Home, Sweet Home, the opposing camps forgot their hostility and united in a voiciferous tribute to the common, s?p timent. . Tue Confederate Government has deci? ded that where a detail or exemption was revoked, or the detailed or exempted par? ty died, only a payment pro rata for the timo the party enjoyed tho detail or ex? emption, would be executed.

During the "passage of the' Commission? ers the breastworks of the enemy as well as our own were crowded with soldiers witnessing the novel event. ; It is stjgc'd that while passing through our lines the Commissioners were greeted with vociferous cheers by the troops, and that similar demonstrations were made by the Yankees ou, their arrival within the 'Yankee lilies. . From thk FkonSc;?An official dispatch from Geh. Hardec, dated Midway 4th. was received yesterday by the Governor. From it wo learn that the enemy on Fr; day crossed the Salkeiiatchic. between Broxton and Divers' Bridge; and-also at a point above Divers' bridge, compelling Gen. McLaws to retire upon Branchville. The fighting at Rivers' Bridge was quite sharp and lasted several hours. Although Gen. Wheeler checked and damaged the enemy considerably, he is now with a por? tion of Iiis force this side the Salkeiiatchic, no doubt threatening our communication "olina Bailroad. Divers' Bridge is over the Big Salke? iiatchic in the southeastern part of Barn well District, Broxton's Bridge is a" few. miles lower down on the same stream, near the houndry line of Burnwcll and Beaufort Districts.

EDITED BT ^ JAMES A. nOYT and W. W. HTTMPHEEYS. . It is useless to disguise tlio lamentable fact, that loo muuy of^r people: are-given to despondJncy and dejection. They become depressed, dispirited and disheartened now, where they would have been a jlmmcdlfijitcknowlcdgeit two years ago. -As yet, though., (lie croakers are in, a ruioorily. There are hundreds, aye Ihousauds, of good and true men, all over the land, who see no just cause.for this gloominess, nndliclnrtUy despise its growth. But this infection is contagious, and a preventive must bo aii^?adrto chick it in the incipient stage of the disease^Tn no oilier way, can this be so cifcclual ly accomplished as for the. newspaper press to unile in an earnest effort lo enlighten the masses as* lo our veal condition, future prospects and available resources. When the people come lo understand what is required of them lo secure independence and a killing-peace, there will be not, even I lie shadow of a doubt as to the result. In our humble opinion, (lie virtue of _^ndnranco .is to. bring us forth from (lite conflict morc.'ccrifltily i |>?ji anything else. Far greater disasters than (hose wldch have in Iho past broke suddenly upon us, may in (ho future overshadow our cause; defeat m;iv follow defeat, and reverses cling close upon ilie heels of others ; but if wc havo the forliiudo and spirit to endure, ?s our forefathers did, the very worst that may bc(idc7lhcrc will surely conic the glorious dawn of liberty and final success. If wc cannot do this?if the struggle 13 (0 continue for a iimi.'. and llleufall through because (here ith ?lacking determination and nerve to" prosecute it 1'urtLer?then is iho record of past sacrifices a hollow mockery, and the sconce wc succumb and become degraded to the lowest level, the better it* will be for IM). But wc anticipate no such alicrna livo. jiio-e is na eternal baked between.

This hajc, upon our par., i* baptized In the riclir-t blood of Ihc South, freely poured out on the baiile-ficld to achieve an independence for posterity like unto thai. bcqi'.M?icd io us from a ptflriolic auces.ry.

Wc have an abiding confidence in the sterling seine of duty which will actuate the people of these Confederate Suites to brave ?IL; endure everything necessary, and bear the sbipof date to a port of safety. The wliole mailer is summed up in the question, whether wc dire to laibinit abjectly nud become the vassajs of a despotic majority, or continue battling for freedom yet a lillle while longer.

IIi\vr:;i:; .Senator from Virginia, and Judge Campbell, Assistant .Secretary Of War, have been appointed Commissioners on the part of the 'Government lo meet a muilar.imputation on (ho part of the Yankee nation, and ascertain if l lice eau be a pr.Vccful solution at this lime of ihc pending di[l:ct'.li:e> between (ho two powers. The gentlemen above named left Bichmond len days . 'nee for City Point, on (ho James ltivcr, (he place design tied for meeting. They-arc invested with, no plenary powciynnd arc not authorized lo ratify acoi.ipacl of any sort in regard to a settlement. ]. i simply a commission of out ablcsl statesmen, directed lo. meet the Yankee embassy and acquaint it with our desires and demands. This is the re? sult of Ihc my.-ie-.ions visits of Mr. Blair to our President and wc suppose is the expressed wish of 1 lie Illinois rail-splitter,jguitlcd by the diplomatic SkWARD. In this respect, we can hope for no Iwn efieial results to arise, from this interview, lo our. cause. The Yankees have, liifie and again, read ihc raesseges of Prcvidcnt Davis and the dcchfva lions of fongre.-s; to say nothing of the numerous pi onuncTarjcntos of tho Stale Legislatures, and arc certainly informed by this hour of the nature of our demands. The}' arc only (00 well advised ns to what is required (o bring about a cessation of hos? tilities; nud having failed to induce Submission by waging a relentless war. they now seek lo compass our honor and safety by a pretence of. offering to Ticgolialc for Peace. This is dangerous mid illu-' sory, and were it not that pur interests arc in the keeping of such men ns (hose appointed, wc should feel concerned as to the denouement. As it is, wc feel 110 absorbing curiosity (0 fathom the proceedings at City Point. It-is directly conlrary lo the Yankee character to*be magnanimous, and in (his, ihcir season of triumph and victory, to concede what (hey have, fur more Ihan four years, resisted by the sword. We cannot believe their expressions to this end are sincere, or that the}' have ihc remotest idea just, now of granting an as. sent to our separation. It will require as much wrenching to force this acknowledgment as it does lo get the truth from that nation of falsifiers. It is asserted that some laic action of foreign governments has induced King Abuauam tho Firt;t to seek negotiation, and if possible-a re-uniou of the Slates. This may bo true, but he well knows that reconstruction of the old Union is beyond tiic question ; and if a recognition of the Confederacy from abroad is intimated, this condescension to treat with (he rebels is intended to delude Europe into the belief that it is sheer obstinacy in the South not consenting to ? compromise. The-ques? tion of slavery-will be agitated, nud Ihc Yankees hope (hat our position in regard to that institution will debar England and Franco from -intervening in the premises. We think it quito probable that these two nations are meditating decisive action on American affairs, and Lincoln- may be advised that, after the 4th of March next, ho will be con. sidcrcd the ruler of such Stales only ns participa? ted in his last election. But this docs not imply that we, are to be recognized as a separate nation, but as Stales in revolt. However, England and France can ill afford to see reconstruction ; and while they may witness the struggle even to the exhaustion of both sides, ultimately they are compelled to pro? nounce against the re-establishment of the former Union. In the mean time, let us ..watch our ene? mies atfd be prepared fov the worst. From the Arms' 01 Tennessee. We are permitted, by a friend, to make'the fol? lowing extracts from a letter received by him, da? ted Jan. 14. 1865, from an officer in the Army late? ly commande<""*JJfc Gen. Hood. The history of an ill-fated campaign is contained in4*pv sentences : f? Tho army started from Tuscumbia half-clad, wearied wi:h the the fatigue of an eight,months' incessant campaign?had no railroad transporta? tion, no roar, no flunks, and an army equal in numbers ^confronting it. Wo fought tho battle of Franklin, hoping to prevent the concentration of the enemy's force in Nashville. That battlo was barren of fruits to us. We lost six Generals killed, besides Qcarles, Gordon, .Johnson*, Hill, and perhaps other general officers, captured. Quabi.es had his right arm-shattered, and was left by us in a, critical condition. "Our c.rmy came out of Tennessee half-barc footcd and foot-sore : discouraged.
