■•verses of tke Bevelatiee.
The narrative which we gave a few days toco of the
reverses sustained by the American arms in tha North,
would be incomplete without a more detailed refrrenoe
to the continuous calamities which btfel them in the
Southern States.
In the Spring ol 1779, the British projected a •‘Burn
side expedition” against Virginia. Our forte having been
oonetruoted ecLIy for defence against ahipping, were un
tenable on the land side. The lower country, “intersect
ed by deep creeks, marshes and rivers, afford pve«s al
most everywhere to those who commend the water, by
touring mkUk, they comp’tUly nmly* troop* Halim,d
on th* rirera, and cut of tktir retreat into tk* broad,
open country."
Thus the Br't'eh having landed a force to attack the
fort, which guarded Portsmouth on the water side, it
wee kbanoed d by the garrison,and the enemy oaptur d a
large body o! military and nival stores, shipping and
cargoes. “The leas sustained both by the public and in
dividuals was immense."
Savannah was soon after captured by the Britirh, who
fortifiad the place aod subsequently repulsed three thou
sand French troops and one thousand Amerieats, who
tuempted to take it by storm. Georgia waa unable to
resist.
Charleston was next invented; the British landed not
far from where the Yankees have established themselves,
lending their ships of war to pa a the forts and inver
mg the city closely on the land aide. The city ru sur
rendered after a short siege, and the Briti'h claim to
have taken 1,618 prisoners, with mag'i ue, military
■tons and shipping of great value.
The smaller casnaltiee which succeeded, culminated in
the defeat of the Sou.oern ermy under Gates, at Cam
den. The British claim to have killed 900 and captured
1,000—they captured “200 wagons, a great part of the
'baggage, military stores, small arms, and all the artil
‘lery.” Oar army was disarmed and dispersed.
la coaeequ ;ooe of these dists era, the whole country
•round submitted. 7k, priiontr* were discharged on
pirole, and it was assumed by the British that “the iuaur
rrc.ioo was at an end. Subsequently they srquee'.ered the
••evates of .11 those who by an open avcwal of rebellious
‘principles, or by other no'.oriooa eels, should manifest
a Kicked and dc-perate pcrseveracoe In oppoaing the
‘ro < s'.abiiabmeot ol Rival authority.”
But when the British quit their sh pping and advanced
uto the interior to complete the work of subjugation,
he conies; became somewhat more rqutL The defeat
>f Fergus n at Y og's Mountain, and the victory of
liorgan at the Cowpcca, encouraged tho Americana, and
nier posed additional obstacle* to tbeir enemiia.
Greene reorgan i;d bis little army and retreated.—
Jornwallia, with a superior aod well equipped force,
pursued him across North Carolina. The British victory
r. Guilford wokmed their fores and compelled them to
r,1l k. v ..j ,k..U.. ik. Si.tA Green* nnurned t.i
iberale the Carolina* and Q orgia. This was sccm
1 thrd against Riwdjn’a forces, aLd ultimauly driven
jo Charleston, the British evacuated th i Carolina*.
We iff r but a summary of the remarkable reverses
lustained by the American arms during the Southern
-.mpagn. With the want of ail upon which the if*
iolency of an army dr pends—w th a people dispirited,
inarmed and divided—without adequate ruppliee of am
cuoitiou, provisions or clothing, the obstacles to success
item insurmountable.
But three State*, though divided and at war with
hsmselvea, were at heart determined not to submit.
As the Scythian savage showed the Persian monarch
hat as only ale part of the dried bide on which be stood
rts pressed down, so a conquered people will only be
t’pt down where the weight of war re*to upon them, eo
. re withdrawal of the British forces from any part of the
southern States added it immediately to the area of re*
•istance. No sooner did Cornwallis or Rawdon withdraw
t s foot than the guerilla bands of Marion and Sumter
tccupied the position. They chastised the disaff *ctsd and
ro harassed the enemy that “wearied with victory" they
withdraw.
With these examples of the reversee which befell our
rrcealora ia a contest with a superior foe, during a war
>f seven years, why should we be discouraged at the
c mporary aivantugesofourenemice?
Those advantages have been in great part due to cur
aaving purcusd the earlier policy of our ancestors.—
Whilst cur i-tute foe have followed the plans of the Brit
sh invaders.
We fcavs dfeaiad everything to the water’s edge.—
(Ve have thereby divided our forces and sometimes
acei them in positions where the whole marine and
a.iHtaiy fire of the enemy could be conc<utratcd against
,bcm—where any advantage which we might gain would
:e lost by the presunt protection of the shipping, and
shen, if the enemy succeed, “those that command the
wu’.cr" have been thereby enabled “couplstely to en
‘ velope our troops stationed on the rivers and cat eff
• their retreat :n'o the b*o»d, open country.”
This pilicy will be changed, as it was abandoned by
>ur ai c-store. Our troops wilt fall back and compel
he enemy to abandon his base ard prolong his lines of
idvarcs to detach troepi to protect his temporary ac
I risiiions. Aided thus by the natural defends of the
■juntry, any advantages which we may acquire will re
| mod to our permanent profit. Taen.witba people
irited, and unanimous in their detetnrnation never to
libra it, we shall, like our ancestors, struggle through
he contest, and, like the in, emergcpurifi.d and lit lor

From ths Memphis Appeal
LETTER *'Uua NASHVILLE.
We are permitted to use the following private letter,
received in this el'y yesterday, from an intelligent citi
*-n of Nashvi 1>. The spirit manifested by the people
of that devoted city, is such as will animate every true
Southerner’s heart, evan under the most disheer.cuing
circumstances:
Nashville, March 3, 1862.
Deae F-: B-is with us to-night, on bis way
to the land of freedom, and 1 embrace the opnortuni y
to wri’.o you a lice, for tear it is the list you will receive
from me until our conquering army returns to drive the
ievader from our midtt, ae -re D aily b iteve it will dc,
for our oauso is just, and God will defend us We have
filth that He wilt so guide and direct our armies as to
onible them in n abort while to liberate Dot ouly our
people, but to drive the ruthless invaders from cveiy
part of Southern soil.
We are confined here, but not conquered. No, to
loug .is the Confederate Stg waves over one foot of
ground, will wa bear allegiance to it, and when it fal's
may wo >11 b) buried beneath its folds. This, I believe,
is thtf feeling that auimites every Southern man In our
community. W-- have lost nothing of our atrtng'b by
the oo upation ol Nashville by the LincoluiUa. Thcce
who hive gone to nem were our enrmiee be'ore, and
many who were very mild in their advocacy of Southern
rights, and were suppose! to be ra’hrr luk- wa in, a-e
out a: detcrmiaid as ihc vibst rebel among ua, tor
will arc ific» everything iu deb-cce of Srutberu liberty
Could ycu visit us now, and s.e the cl .sod and barred .

sues of our gr.at thorang ifar.9, you woul i be couv.nc. d
that N. « ivill •, notwithstanding tiie mi y chtrgea again*
ler, was true and loyal to the Sou b; yes, “as true is (
the needle to thv pole;” end our Southern bre hr n 1
know, would aympith a* with ua, rather than denounce
us, as it is reported soma of our Memphis friends are 1
doing.
To feel that we are in the hai^s of the bated YauW,
that we are uo longer freemen, that we are bound under
the most odious despotism that can disgrace God’s crea
tion, is a tore trill iodseo ; and c:u'J 1 beitere that oor
present condition i* to continue without anv form of re
lief, I would pray God in his mercy to strike us from ex
istence—but I do not despsir—we will n on drive the
incurs '<1 creatures back to their dens, there to devour
pach other.
There have been no arrests as yst—but we are to be
terribly oppressed, bow oy in lfhat way 1 know not.—

force of tickets were tent out laat night on the Franklin i
read with six pieces of ariiihry.
Gen. Buell is greatly barristed at the killing of bis |
pickets, and alto greatly surprised to fi id the Union ,
sentiment so weak. He says there is no Uo:on vent!*

to resume oar business, sating that he will molest nt» j
thing, hut to far be h«s produced notfTso'. The whole ,
army it evidently greatly disappointed at the feeling
lutui'Vsted towards them. They are m iking every ef
fort in tbeir power to create a favorable impression, but -
it will do no good. •••

will prove quite is difficult as it will be unproductive.
