FroM thc Chicago Ti?<a. 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.

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*.
