THE .WILMINGTON JOURNAL. COVFEDKIUTK STATES OP ABIKKICA. Wilmington, n. .c satdbday. july is, isos. Th enemy baa got a foot-hold on Morris Island, and the CIt j of Charleston Is greatly endangered. As naual, tie people find fault with the CommandJrg Geteral and officers In charge. "Why was not ttia guarded against? "Why was not the lower end of Morris Island so fortified as to b5 able to frustrate all attempts of tfce enemy to land there ? As frequency happens, however, the fault wss nr t wj'tb tb9 comxnardirg General and officers in charge, hvt with the people themselves. General EeaubkoabI' wanted to level the hills on Morris Island, behind vl the Yankees iheltered themselves on landing. Ke wanted to erect more batteries and otherwise fortify the island more strongly, but tbe planters would not fcrDisb their hands, and, there fore the work could not be done, lothe callot the Gov ernor and Geniral bo adequate response w?.s made. Their hands were making crops which would be needed as mcch as theie -works. But if Charleston falls, those who sowed Bay not reap those who planted may rot gather. The Yankees may be mere benefitted by these crops than either onr soldiers or people. We don't believe ia that short sighted selfishness that trie? to conceal itself under a patriotic excuse. The Bame 'd fficulty of getting labor 13 experienced here. Out of the whole slave population an outcry ia raised if six hundred hands ere aked for to help complete wcrks that may protect hall the 8tate from rnin. If, when the tide of Invasion comes, cme poiat i3 found weak and unguarded, the blame will, no donbi be thrown upon General Wbitg, when in fact it will jastly attach to those whcee near-sighted selfl-hcess refused the zecessary labor, as well as to thoa9 whose contemptible and traitcross demg oguism has urged them to encb conree. It ia not iSo late to tak9 warnicg, tlthcugh it may soon be. We urge upon tfco owners of bands tj come forward and respond piomptly to tbe calls of xhi Commanding Gen eral. Remember, it is cot that little spot cf ground caUs-J WilmiDgton, that is to be defended or Jo b9 kEt. Tuat is the smallest matter. It ia our grail V.jzz cf ccrtsiuaica tion our raiIroi.cs oar riyera our lest avesae to the ocean tbe enemy's beat to the interior. Looking at the preeent position of thiegs in a'.l it.i asj-cc's our eje naturally Cits upon a fe.r p cists which eeem to 28 the most imp rtant. First then, Lbs had to tall back behind the Potomac, end may have to fallback to the lice cf ths Kappahanno'jlr, ia Order that other menaced and most vi'al points may be succoured. Ths enemy's ferocious onset onto nany points was no doubt ntcnCed to ccrrpel ihte action oa ih3 put cf Lee. Is was neither weakness, defeat, dis&tter cor demor alization on the part cf Lex's army that led to its with drawal !rom the enemy's country. , Second, 'tie army of Jcuketos has been forced to fa'l back from Jackson to keep from being flanked ou theright. Gbant cannot follow h:xa at ee. The country between the Pearl Eiver end tto Toratigbea is tLiiily S3 tied, and after one army has traversed it in retreat, another army ad vancing in pursuit will find neither food for man nor forage for beast. Gbant had depended cpon gunboats on the Ya aoo for bis supplies 6ince the investment of Yicksborr, and his wagon treia has yet to ba obtained end organized. Until this is done, ho can hardly ptnetrato fariher "itto the bowels of the land." This will arrest tho progress cf any operations of magnitude in that section for some time. His line is a-' ready deeper than he can aflord. The sure will appjy to Eosecejls in South Eastern Tennessee. Third, for the present, we suppose -J3caN3iisa tdraiice against East Tennessee is poatponed, prt 0 his force having gone to Meads ana part to Gsant. The raovecaeLt may, at-d no doubt will be resumed at no distant dty. I earth, the trans-MisEissippi District ia now Eclf-sn&taic-ing in the way of ammunition and military stores. Cstton finds its way to Matamoras consigned to an English honse, and army enpplies Had their way through ths same chan nel. We don't see that the fall of Vicksburg and Poit Hndson can effect Western Louisiana, Arkansas cr Tesas. They have always given more than they have received, ex cept in the way of General, and they complain that they have had Borne of them that they ccnld very well have spared. Sixth, Charleston 13 attacked, and Ei chine ud is or has teen threatened by a coup de ma in. Charleston ia in no immedi ate danger. The present eeige ia carried cu by approaches which are slow, but dreadfully sure, ualess the enemy's works can be stormed and taken. Charie3ton fallen we nee d be at no Iosb to guosa what would bo the next point of at tack, or hovf long tbe now chief centre cf blockade running on the continent would rsmaia tnmolefcted. Th.9 difficulty about the fortification of ilcrrb' IdlaLd we have explained ia another article. Seventh, the Ea'dere, who c3 efiect little in a military point of view, but who arc Intended, not only to gratify tie malice cf the LincolniteB, bat to weaken the resource! cf the Bouth and incline her people to seek for peace, even upon terms of submission yea, upon any terms, ai indeed one or two papers In this Etate already prefigure, there somehow being always a remarkable coincidence between their tone and Hit movements of the Federals, as Ihcugh they were, a3 the Animal Hsgaeiizers used to say cn ropr porf. Once fairly started, it is ecsier to talk about stopping or ambushing these raiders than it is to do it. The level and generally wooded surface of cur low country, whilo it af fords excellent positions ia which to place arabescacts, in terposes iuBuperable obstacles to the adoption ot cny elle cieJt system tf signals, whicu might appriz.9 nsighborhoodls of the approach of a hostile mounted force, while at the eame time tho enemy finis aiaoi gtUe negroes guides as well if not better acquainted with all the paths of the country, than even our own pecp'.r. Thus, then, we have Les failing back for tho protection of his communications, and to permit the forces of the Confederacy to be directed upon other points aad for de fensive objects. We find C-bakx, Bos&cu&wa aod Bcbnsids virtually arrested lor the time being, the trana-fclissisBippi District actirg fessentuliy on a new bass tho Bio Grande for mil tary supplies, its food and transportation being found in abundance at home. And, which we have not yet mentioned, Mobqan catticg a wide row in the "lojal' BtattB, giving them a taste of war 6u2ici2nt to disincline them from going ay. ay under Lincoln's call to continue a war of which they are already hick. Charleston i3 vigor ously defended, and will be still mere so under the new de fensive attitude just assumed, while we trust that the ma rauding parties cf the ecerry wiil be rigorously arrested at thrir start, before they have escaped into the bean of country, where they may elude pursuit. These thiDgs wi'.larreBt the tide of invasion and press it backwards, if all our people respond promptly to the call of the President, and yield ta ihs appeals of neither hall traitors nor moral coward?, who v.uld gi 3 up tho ship while she is yet fully able to weather the storra and ride safely into port, battered and tempest scarred indeed, b-.t sound and staunch at battcm. We are tired of the war tired enough Go J knoT3, Lut the Northern people are more fcc, and the gathoiing storm theie has already mude itself felt. The cu'.bveak against the draft ia New York and Hartford, are only the first mutteriegs of tho tempest which wiil roar louder and blow more fiercely as the season advances. Let th South and every man In the South be only firm and true to him self and to his country at this crisis, and the fierce blasts that Bweep over the North wiil visit us as gentle zephjrs bringing mild peace and glorious 'idependenc 3 cn their wings. EzxBTsa the papers at the present time cannot be classed as one of the ligbt amusements. Least of all is it any pleasure or mere erausemeat to him who, like tin daisy edi tor, has to wade through whole piles of exchargss ia which the on fkgle topic of the war is presented, errajed, as it has been for the last few days, ia nothing but sombre color ing. And yet it must be said for the press, that with very few exceptions, it bear Cp bravely and well nnder misfortunes tiat bear with quite as much weight upon it as cpon any other data of the community. it i&bora to eECcurage the scL diers ia camp, and to stimulate the people at home to active exertions to provide for the heaUb. aad comfort of the army. And, while as a rule, anxioo to give trutLful accounts ss well of oar reverses as of our successes it re fuses to jieid to despondency, or for one moment to deFniir of the republic. , cefpair But for all this a file of newspapers ia such times ia sombre record of war, death, depredation ; of killed and of -uUuCu. . uub ocoasioaal gleams of iuashice, w7",,tu u w auaaowa of disaster, but never with ..v-.pau o! aespairasto forbid hope, or even give rice " "---jr e mmas or those who have the moral courage to look mlslortune m the face aad hope cn-hope ever for better daJBf u not or ,Et ,eT J? ,?CtmBtry' 0M these ij lined shadows of disaster uow overhangs oar hcri s:n, but although dark enough, it j8not unrelieved 1, omegiesmsofBanshiaeinUie present, and many antici pationa of hope ia the future.

A mother, by writ of habeas corpus, brought her daughter ct seventeen before the Judge asku g that the mother have custody ot the unuhter, who was then under the control of a man named Paik, who claimed her a3 a Jaw.'ul weddei wife. 'I he caBe coming up for hearing, it was shown that Park, al ready had one wife, by whom he bad several children, and that bis two wives lived with him in the eame house. The JtfOge decided that tho eecend marriage was not lawful, bat & crime against ths laws of the United States, and therefore cull and void. Kcw the second marriage was performed we do not know, but, Irom the language cf the jadge, there was something peculiar about it, and we inter it was a process known m Mormondom as sealicg." In speakng of the ceie- rnony the jucge says there 13 much in it about which one might cavil, and censure rests upon it. The ju jge decided the mother was entitled to tbe custody of the girl.

The next day the fif ega?a whistled "Ths Girl I left behind Me," eurnmo&ing us to dress parade. Boon we left the old Forirtss, and as we passed through our town, eome for Virginia, scnia fur Bouih Carolina, right merrily again did the same old hfo pue&l " The Uirl i left behind Me." Then we began to feel the reality of war existing, and Boon began to understand it was not all a dream. V uon we touched tha sou of Virginia, we were ordered to fall in to the tuae of "The Uirl 1 left behind me." Since thea soicfi olca marched to the scene of contest with the fife plying that sarno tune, and "aleap their last sleep" on tha bioody fields of fcharpsburg and Manassas.

TVnile to some poor fellows, tha girls the left behind them, have proved lalie acd iorgottea them, too proud to recognize ia the smoky face and the rough garb of the soldier, their lovers thit marched proudly away. They have thrown away no ble hearts and taken in their places, cowardly ones, tbat dodge behind a wall and in dark places to evada consoriot officers. And now we are all in hopes anxiously waftine with earnest desire for peace to spread her white wines over oar suffering country to march back to Wilmingtoo, God bless her, to the tune of Ths Girl I left behind me."

Toe qae?ti?cs ad dressed to eacii were in eubaiotance aa lollops : I. What is ycur opicion or knowledge of the numer ical strength of the forces lately detached for service elsewhere from th3 reb-I army iu oar front ? II. Do you deem an advance upon the ebr-my, at this time, and withour present effective f)'c?, advisable ecd practicable ? III. Do you b:iievo tL 72 shall b able to achieve a decisive victory : IV. D j you be.ied tbat the rejuit cf a vljt jry will out-balance the risk and sacrifices involved ? In regard lo the weakening of Braga'd army by the withdrawal cf troopa for the relfef of Vicksburg, there was some diversity of opinion expressed by the iatcrro gatfd Genr-rals; Vat to the other qaesaons tire an dwerd of ali seventeen were of a decidedly negative characti.

Thrv ccn3!ijered an advauce inadvisable becaue : .1. If the euemy be no wtakird eaou'i to tkeKye the issue of a pitched -encrat action, onr aivanoe would eaable them to fiht on the defcasi .-e ia cho?en en trenched pot iiioc, vvhio'? advantage "vas Iike!y to com pensate for any superiority of numbers ' we mzy ecjoy. 2. It the enemy a:e too much weakened by the draft for reinforcements to other parts of ths tbeatr3 cf war to accept the overture cf battle, they would uadoabteuly fall back to their next natural line cf defence ou the Tennessee river. 3 In the former contingency, that is, if the eacmy were to fight ua, we would incur on the one hand the risk to los?, ia caaj of defeat, uot oa!y what cost ua the vast sacrifices cf life tnd limb in the' battie of Stone's river, but much more. A victory on the other hani', unless resulting ia the destruction cf the whole rebel arrry, (which tha advaatagecua character cf Us present position hardly allows us to expect, would give us as gain only a rough, mountainous country, of uo strategic importance, the posstssioa of which cculd not hold the balanc3, ia point of benefit, to the drawback of the lengthening of our line3 of communication along a single, much expos ed railroad track which its occupation vould unavoida bly necessitate. 4. In the latter contingency, that 13, if tha ciemy were to retreat to Ihe Valley of tbe Tennessee upon oar advonce, our gain would again bs only a negative oce of territory, with the drawbacks already staled.
