Fora periid 'uncertain in duration,
whether of days, weeks, or months, the
season 'Commands a truce. This is the
true winter.- The first campaign is end
ed, and a, time has come when it is no
longer. unsafe to review results and
consider with candor
.the situation of
our affairs.
The campaign has been strictly de
fensive. Wo have gained nothing, for
we have attempted no gain. That we
have lost comparatively little of actual
territory duringtlie - latter six months
istdue only to - the _difficulties of inva
sion in, a,country like this, - the neces
sity,- for time to prepare half a million
+of soldiers,. the courage of the South
,ern 4 Volunteers, and the individual cow
ardice of the ;Northern mercenaries.
It is, however, undeniable that the de
fensive policy,, besides the moral strain
, on an army, that awaits repeated and
•endless attack, and the exhaustion of
a country which is the scene of war,
bas given the enemy an uninterrupted
opportunity to prepare a gigantic host,
and to arrange it_at leisure for the full
trial of relative strength when the sea
-ions perthit the resumption of-hostili
ties.
While. the political leaders of the
South have been repbsing in dreams of
approaching peace, and while our ac
complished captains of engineers have
been ex-pendingtheirremahleseien
tific ingenuity in the erection of works
as wonderful, and almost as extensive
and quite as valuable, as the Chinese
wall, to, resist invading forces from a
given direction, the enemy have grad
ually and at leisure gathered up their
immense resources, and concentrated
their tremendous energies, to envelope
the Confederacy with their armies and
fleets, and to penetrate the ,interior
from some one of many = alternative
points., Although they can now do
nothing, they have their general pro
gramme in perfect order for execution
when the weather changes in the ordi
nary course of the earth round the
sun; and at this moment we find our
selves in the face of superior forces
wherever we look, - , whether to the
North, the EaSt, or the West, or the
South itself. Gen. Sydney Johnson
has to strain every nerve to prevent
the military.as, well as geographical
heart of the country from slipping out
of his grasp. Gmerals Joseph John
ston and Beauregard are held by Mc-
Clellan on the Potomac as in a vice;
A gigantic armament is ready to at
tempt the descent of the 'Mississippi,
and their fleets on the Atlantic sea
coast and the Gulf are too freshly be
fore the public attention to require re
membrance. Suck are the fruits of a
policy purely defensive. - Without even
the hesitancy which would come of a
possible interruption, the enemy have
thus surrounded the Southern Confed
eracy; and, if
,permitted to repeat, as
often as may be desired, theiretforts to
penetrate its heart, they will necessar
ily attain theplace and the time where
success awaits them.
There is now but one chance of
escape from the net that has been cool
ly draWn aroiincrits: it is to concentrate
our energy ;on one point and cut it
through; to convert our defensive into
an offensive war, and transfer the
scene of at least a part of these hostil
ities to the enemy's own country. Sit
tutted as we are, it is only possible at
one point and that is Kentucky. •If,
the forces that we are dispersing
to the
four corners of the continent every
day, to meet new - menaces, were' col
lected under tho'hand of Gen. Sydney
Johnston,. till a , column was formed
sufficient to' enable him to manoeuvre
with_ some possibility of, success over
the plains of that region, he might
hurl back the array in front of - him
at present, and • penetrate the State of
Ohio. The attainment of this object
would render worthless all the plans
f the enemy.' The circle of armies
would be in the condition' of the con
strictor whose back has been broken,
the scene of war would be transferred
to his own territory, and every one
who has witnessed the ravages of ar
,mies in any of the invaded districts of
Virginia knows what a priceless bless
ing is designated in' that - brief phrase.
Ho would be attacked beyond his' de
-knees. The alarm and confusion of
the United States would paralyze its
Government and its generals, and the
entire arrangement, by which we stif
fer now and 'greater disasters in
the future, would be immediately re
versed. - -
We have pditited to the general com
manding the Confederate forces in Ken
-Lucky as, the person to whom this busi
ness should be entrusted, because he
is the only one' in position, at this point
of the game, to undertake an advance
,on the enemy with probabilities of
BAc,pess, even if sufficient forces could
be allotted to tho others. No natural
obStaeles.enbumber his path as in the
case of Polk and Beauregard. A con
centration of troops now employed on
the seacoast,lSMl at other points where
no vital blow. can be either given or
received, is all that is necessary to him
for effecting thiti great end, To . form
such a concentration, it will '.be ne
cessary to leave some portions of the
frontier withoitfotber protection than
the - - inhabitants 'of ' neighboring
country can afford; but this will be
found 'more than Sufficient against at-,
sacks that were onlintonded to
draw . our - troops from real points of
strategy; and, even if otherwise, they
must for a brief time be left to take
their chance, till the blow that re
lieve them, with the whole Confederacy,
can be Struck where only it can be do
livered.
.
At present Gren: Johnston confronts
superior forces of . the enemy-under
Buell, one of the most cautious, pains
taking, and able generals on the other
bide._ Gen. Buell has now, immediately
infront'of .Tobristen; an army of sey
entY-six thousand inen, and sari Ming
to bear on us; at other given points;
thirty thousand more. What the Con
federate commander has May not ho
stated, but it is probably enough to
hold his present strong positioo again 4
any numbers that might attack hini
there. "But the enemy has the choice
to attack him - there, or to pass him on
either side, get to his rear, and cut off
his supplies. • .This he can do by leav
log a sufficient army in frontof Gen.
Johnston, while he can still send upon
the right or left flank a force as large as
he leaves behind. • That this is the plan
of Buell is now no longer doubtful.
He has placed a force of eight thou
sand men at Glasgow, thirty miles to
the eastward of Bowling Green, threat
ening therear of Gen. Johnston, while
it is within easy supporting distance of
two other posts held in strong force
by the enemy. If - the plan of Buell
is successful, it may result in a great
disaster. To defeat him it is abso
lutely necessary that more men should
at once be sent to Bowling Green.
Gen. Johnson must have a force suffi
cient , to. attack Buell 'in front, with
good chance of success; and by doing
so will, not only defeat-his. scheme on
the centre of the Confederacy; but int
mediately transfer the war to the State
of Ohio, and thus save the whole South
from the great' danger of being over
run in the first fine weather of coming
spring.
Nte are satisfied that, beyond the
flittering possibilities of a foreign in
tervention, the only rational hope ve '
can entertain of a speedy termination
of this war is to be found in an offen
sive campaign across the Ohio, from
the point that Gen. Johnston 'now de;
fends: The best line of advance imagi
nable to strike at the vitals of the
North, 'which are the Lake States, is
that'Orough Kentucky. The country
is I . . Plain, the people not actively hos
tilc,!supplies without stint, and the
great resource of the North is beyond.
The enemy'understand this, and 'are
making tremendous efforts to secure
Kentucky to, thorn without the possi=
bility, of escape. This season of inac
tion, from the inclemency, of the skies,
is a preCious boon of
,Providence to us;
we can now determine on a plan, and
prepare for its execution in a short
time, that will render naught and abor
tive all the costly and complicated de
vices of the adversary.
Remarkable Article from a Rebel

How. Jeff. Davis's Rule is Liked in Mein

Now and then we have indications
of the terrible straits to which the
Southern States are put, and the im
patience with which the people submit
to the burdens imposed on them by the
leaders of the rebellion. A gentleman
just from Memphis has furnished the
Evansville-Journal with a copy of the
Memphis Argus of the sth, which con:
tains an article that occasioned cOrisid:
erable excitement at the "Bluff City,"

INJUIZING TILE CAUSE.
" A knowledge of the disease is half
the cure." This truism is as applicable
to political as to physical disease, and
a knowledge of how the fracture came,
is the best key the surgeon can have
to obtain hint a mental view of the
shattered bones., We measure the value
of a househOld servitor by the efficien
cy displayed by - him in the past, and
so should we that of a public and paid
official. How is the household ? means
what kind of t housekeeper. Where
order and happiness reign, there we
say rules 'the good steward, where con
fusion and needless want exist, we cen
sure the steward; 'and so it should he
c:
with the rulers of nations.'
• We have yet to learn that this Con
federacy is the private property of Jef
ferson Davis, or the joint domain of his
Cabinet, and we find it still harder to
comprehend how either the President
or his Cabinet came to be considered
the autocrat dispensers of weal and
woe to this people, untrammeled by an
responsibility- to the same.
We, for one, were and aro far from
considering that in voting for the Se
cession of Tennessee from the despot
ism of 'Lincoln we were merely making
a choice between two irresponsible sul
tans, propped by duplicating divans.
We never meant in' abandoning the
Union to abandon with it the rights of
speech and of the press ; and as long as
we can wag a tongue .or wield a pen,
we 'shall do. both in the . assertion of
truth, palatable or unpalatable to presi
den ts,cabinets, minorities or majorities.
Our assertion last Tuesday, of the
true state' of our affairs, has caused
quite a flutter among a few home sol
diers, irresponsible and illegal wielders
of authority, etc., men who, holding
their positions from the higher servi
tors of the people, think it sacrilege,
and,"wealtening_of theeause,".to fault
any of their acts or no acts; and who,
tumble to deny our statements, would
cover the sins of their superiors, by
asserting that a statement of the re
sults arising from said sins is encour
agement and comfort to the enemy.
We seldom anathematize, but in such
connection we can scarce help saying—
something of the enemy. We spoke
and speak of the state of this Confed
eracy, which, judging from the policy
of both Cabinets, is already better
known to the Federal Cabinet than it
is to our own.
We spoke and speak of the ill-con
ducting of this war, which has now
taken from "our homes some three or
four hundred thousand of our bestand
bravest; which has paralyzed all busi
ness, save that which put-the money
we can so illy spare into the pockets of
tho creatures of said President and
Ctibinet. Of this war we spoke when
we said so much might have done in it
that has 'been left undone.. Those at
the head of affairs wereleaders to the
war—we ask how aro they leading
ihrough it Y
We -have been made to stand still
and take such cuffs and kicks as the
Northerner chose to give, token he pleas
ed and where he pleased. Wo have heard
our Generals blamed for not doing what
it appears they were not permitted to
do. The smothered report of Beaure;
gard has made that truth clear enough.
We have for months and months been
told that England would do our fight
ing for us on the seas.' We' have been
told everything, save this one thing—
that in the cities of the North lie the
keys of our blockaded ports, and the
peace we seek and need. •
We see access to thatpeaeo rendered
more and more distant by the won
droinilv accumulating power of the
Feiloil armies and navy. We see the
advance that was easy siN.months ago,
difficult to-day,:and likely to be impos
sible to-morrow. -We see that from a
shoe la tchtit' to.a steam engine we lack
everything, and that the families of our
obedient soldiers are stiffering from the
seeming fabulous prices they have to
pay for everything of domestic use.
'ire look to the future, and, seeing
nothing but war, ask ourselves, ask our
readers, ask our rulers, why all looks
darker and darker, as. day follows day ;
and our vast armies prepare to rot in
their camps, while mothers and sisters
suffer from their absence at home.
Three times since the inception of
this war has the road been opened un
to us into the very heart of the North.
In July, after Manassas; when Fre
mont' resigned ; when Johnson moved
to Bowling Green. We blame not Beau
regard, Price or Johnston; but we ask
why they were not permitted to do
what they wished to do, and could then
have done—secured our peace and our
liberty? Whom do wo blame The
men at Richmond. Not ours the place
to asks whys and wherefores. We say
our people are so situated. We say
the leaders to the war, hate been the
leaders through it; and we simply state
the results.
One year's reticent suffering is
enough ; and as we never were, and
never intend to be. a puff-sheet for Jeff.
Davis, or any other statesman or poli
tician in our out of place or power, we
speak .the more plainly. We believe
less adultation, real and hollow, of our
public men, who have yet done nothing,
would have been attended with more
beneficent results; and dare also be
lieve that thesooner our press ceases
this slavish adulation, and confusion of
the cause with any set of men, the
sooner is the cause likely to prosper.

The President and Fugitive Slaves of
Rebels.
From tho Non , York Tribune.]
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—1 amauthpi
zed by those who were preent at the
conversation at the White House be
tween President Lincoln, Gen. Lane
and Senator Pomeroy, to assure you
again that the idea ,which the President
intended to assert, and did assert, was
distinctly this
" That the rebel States, having, by
their own insane action, abolished sla
very in all its relations with our Gov
ernment by repudiating our protection,
they can make no claim on us for fu
gitives, and that therefore the United
States cannot return them, either with
the military or the civil arm."
To this conclusion the Presidentsaid
he had come after deliberate thought.
