This acute journalist is complacent in the opinion that no Yankee will fight unless the weather be such as to make a heavy coat and thick boots comfortable. To be sure, some of our army-coats have not heretofore been of the heaviest, nor have our army-boots been of the thickest — but let that go! If The Confederacy be right,
