" : Tn Richxovd Exquiaxi's Folly. It is neteasy to estimate the evil that one imprudent man may do to his country, when at the head of a Press, and that Press located in Richmond. The Richmond Enqui rer is a case in point. It has recently started two notions, each of which has caused controversy and discouragement at home, and confirmed the yankees in their favorite idea that the Confederacy is on the point of giving up. If they had originated any where bat in Richmond, it is probable little or no attention would have been paid to them. Bat tbe Press of that city has far more, influence upon the public than it .ought to hare, for, as a whole, it is deficient in judgment, and is much teo prejudiced to be relied upon as a safe counsellor. We notice that the last of these propositions of the Enquirer, (to form an alliance with England and France,) has been promptly snapped up by Seward and sent off to all the U. 8, Ministers io Europe, as an evidence that we are no longer able to resist and therefore should no longer be treated by European nations as a belligerent power.- It is possible that this idea may be pressed in some effect, and that it may damage us to some el tent in Europe. What good it has done or can do us, either there or here, it would not be easy to telL The proposition appears to hare been attributed in the United States to the Sentinel, which is the recognised organ of the Administration, instead of -to the Enquirer, which is . hostile to the Adminis tration.

Chroniole, a paper spoken of as edited with great ability, if not discretion, lately charged that President Davis had "diverted" him self with various . untoward orders of troops, which resulted in disasters.. The following are a few of its charges: "On the eve of the battle of ChanoellorrriUe, when Hooker confronted Gen LbmT with 130,000 men. Long street was ent on a dfrerrie te Sufiolk. His absence was keenly felt by Gen. Lee. Dm; dtubU duty. Jack son felL The most splendid victory of the war remained indecisive, from the want of a few more men. " -To relieve Vlckaburg, a divertiok into Pennsylvania was undertaken; and Washington was not threatened by a oorpe operating along the Orange railroad as was recommended by Gen. Lee. Mr. Davis could n jt spare the men from Richmond. 8eoce Meade was enabled to follow the movement of Gen. Lee .and seize the Heights of Gettysburg. ' i To relieve Peteraborr, lee than 15.000 men were asnt upon a dimrtio into Maryland, after Hunter was driven to the Ohio river. The 6th and 19th Corps were ordered to reinforce Sheridan and Crook; 11,000 cavalry werf thrown upon Gen. iiarly's flanks in aa open eountrrar more favorable to their evolutions than the wooded re gion along the Appomattox, where they had been anabie to operate effectively. The concentration was fearfully against us." " : The Richmond Sentinel is authorised to say, that 'each one of the above statements is xoKoliy un founded and without a $mblcmet of j as till cation or excuse." The Sentinel adds: - . "The manoeuvres of Gen. Lee's campaigns rave been mil his own. - Admirable manoeuvres they have been; and most happily adapted to the circumstanoes of the coun try. They have won for him a renown of which wo have no doubt tbe President would be extremely prnd. it it were fairly his; bat he deserves no more of it than be longs to a cordial approval of the policy of tbe dutln gaisbed general, and an admiration of the genlas which conceived it." The Sentinel supposes that the Chronicle's object was te attack Gen. Lee through the President that it knew the public feeling would not tolerate an open assault upon the great and good General, and that therefore this indirect mode was adopted. We do not think this supposition correct. It was simply an attempt by a "parlour General" to show his supe rior capacity to manage a great army, particularly after events had shown what movements had be?n successful and what failures; and to weaken the arm of tbe government by attributing to the President an improper interference with Geo. Lee's operations. It has come to be a received notion,' founded upon just such publications as this of the Onroniele, al lowed to pass nncontradicted,that the President in terferes in everything, and orders everything, not only in the Departments at Richmond, bnt also in all tbe armies. We are glad to see the Sentinel's explicit contradiction, for we confess that we had given some credence to the uncontradicted Mser tious of such malcontents as the Chronicle. which it conveys might yromote dissens!otrlfd division among the weak-kneed. Bat e may hare sense enough to profit by the World's very correct idea that we will brace ourselves against recent loss es, recover from them, aa we did from much heavier loeaes. Oaly think of the rreat disasters cited by that paper the loss of New Orleans aad then of Vicksburg end .the Mississippi, Incomparably great er than any we bare lately sustained aad then think of thi great battles we hare since fought and the glorious victories we have since gained. "Ilope spriBgs eternal in the human breast,' It is only the croakers who exclude hops the croakers, a tpecies-of animal somewhat like the "fetherals" of old party times, of whom a fiary democrat said he didn't know any thing about them except that they were sot humans." Uope will again beget confidence in the Southern heart. Oar glorious armies will gain new victories; and God la his own good time will give us the one great boon of Independesce. Tas Tajik is Qui. Sassa ur This el car, bow in possession of Savannah, made known his notions of the proper treatment of rebels la a long lrtv published before the commencement of his Georgia campaign. B is theory was te roblhe people ef pro visions and burn mills and factories, and if they de not then submit to the "best government the world ever saw," to dispossess them of their property, drive them into foreign lands, and Introduce a new popu lation. As justification of this policy he cited in his letter the treatment or the revolted Irish by William and Mary, two centuries ago, and the punishment of Satan and the rebellious angels. . It is now said of him, that "Since he left Milled gevflle, Sherman seems to have changed his policy. Ia that town, as before at Atlanta, he was all harshness and brutality; at Savannah he has been all conciliation." This last is probably the result of advice from some of Gov'r Brown's men. It plainly is not Sherman's own poli cy, nor that of his government, for the bitter malig nity ot both has been too often aad too outrageously manifested to be susceptible of a doubt. We hare reason to beliove that since Sherman has been in Savannah be has expressed his determination to let loose his soldiers as soon as they get into South Carolina, declaring that he neither could nor would restrain them. This diabolical purpose ac cords with the expressions of intense hate of that 8tate always indulged in at the North. And ahonld Sherman invade that State, as doubtless he wfH, the world may look for n system of cruel and brutal oat rages in comparison with which those of the past four years will appear mvciful and kind. We take it for granted that Sooth Carolina understands all this and will nerve herself accordingly. Her women and children and old men living along his route, will do well to nee for their lives and their honor. beLeve that three boats were sunk ia the advancai 1 am warranted in saying that two were undoubted ly destroyed. ' It beeoires evident that the object ef the anemy was to secure a landing within Conoho creek, aad I determined that ropier Point wjuld be .the place selected; I therefore sent some infantry to attack the launches as they cans ap the titer.

Marmaduke S Bobbins, Esq. who has for some months past been Private Secretary to Gov. Vanee, has become ths Editor of the Conservative. He closes his salutatory address to its readers with the following avowal o! sound doctrine: "In regard to the terrible war ia whloh we are aew engaged, the Conservative will espouse aad advocate any practicable aad constitutional plan which prssaats a fair prospect of producing a esse i Hon of arms by re storing to us aa honorable peaoa, aad at the same time it will oppose any impracticable preposiUoaa, which may be In conflict with the eonstitntloa aad the funda mental principles of oar government, tending, e each propositions generally do, to encourage the public esvanty. ana distract, aivioe ana waste oaraelvss; aad ttiur pecta we shall endeavor ao far as a eaadid aad truthful statement of facts and the reasonable Intarwaoaa to be drawn thernfrom, oan be pleasant, ia times like these, to make the Dally aad WmUv visile of the Conservative bot'-i agreeable and pvofitabla."
