FEBRl'AKY 24, L>\T OF Fastino .ind Prater. — President Davis has wisely callcd upon the ppople of the Confederate States to look to iho only Power thnt can give us help in thii -iir J«y of reverses—hat can gire victory tojhe few. Knd peare to all. He has appointed Friday-next as a Jaj of Fasiinp, Humiliation, and Prayer to Almighty God. Let the whole Confederacy respond to the re- comtncndation. The Wicek’s News.—We have to tell of disasters du ring the pn'-t week, hut not of disasters alone. We have lost Fort Donelson and Nashville: but the noble Price . of Missonri has gained a victory which at any other tlian the present moment would be liailed as a most briliiaiit one, inflicting a loss on the enemy of TOO. whilst his loss was H>0. We have no particubirs a** yet. but :his brief statement comes I’rom the distin guished Caj'iain in the Mexican war. now Gen Albert Pike. We presume it was an open Seld tight, with odiJ-* in favor of the enemy, as Gen Price was retreating from Springfield, pursued by the eneuiy. The accounts of the capture of Fort Donelson ooine from the enemv, and iheir propensity to exTijtcjerftticn is manifest in them. It is stsited th:it wehadbui li.tlOO to 15,OOU troops there. The yankees killed and woun I- ed hundreds of these; they a imit that Pillow and Fi^yd escaped with 5,000. and that mivny others dispersed. Yet they claim to liavo taken 15,U0U prisoners. We do not suppose that they have '^OUU. And their own loss, by their own admissic u, i.* eiiorinoii‘—heaps o( dead on the field. It is quite likely that their killed and wound ed equal our killed, wounded and pri.-oners. All yankeedom is t'rnuiic with deliglit over the vicioiy. They don’t care a button for tlie men they have lost, li is not prob:ible that they wore worth a second thought. They think, or atl'ect to think, that it presages an early ' termination of the war an l restoration ot the rnion. Vain hope! There were two Senators in the Lincoln ' Congress who told thetn plainly that "the contest w;is not ended. Even if the strongholds of the rebels should | be taken and their armie/dispersed, they wouM raily in guerilla bands and con'iiiue the struggle: and for tin- provisional Governments wiiich might be established in the Seceded States the protection of a large force would be necessary.'' \ es, as the Richmond Whig says.—■■War to the kniff . —extermination—foreign alliance—any fate rather tliau J submission. But, in sacrificing our properly and lives, ' we shall take care to make the sacrifice cost our enemies i its fall value.” 1 Of smaller afiFairs, we hav« ha'l the whipping of the Yankees at Winton, and their subsequent return with h j stronger force, and wanton burning of t he little vili i^ The Charleston Mercury of the 21st assures us th.ii, i ••in another quarter thrre will soon be warm work—ihir- ! time beifun by ourselves. For the present, we iniy n >. allude in more specific ternis to the t>low wiiich i>i to I; stiuck. We shall hear all about it in good time, and the yaukess too, we hope to their cost.” The Mercury also says, that the war on the Soutli Ca rolina ccast promises to assume n«w activity; that only “two months remain before the diseases ot the climuto will begin to do their work with Sherman s marau ier.s. Those two months are likely to be memorable in the an nals of Savannah and Charle-tou.” Wo to the .«trangir who trusts himself in that swampy region after the Ui uf .May.
