A Winter Itide Across the Potomac [Special Correspondence of tho Philadelphia Prom] WASHINGTON, Jan. 9, 1902 Yesterday, when the sun was shining brightly in Washington, and the air soft and balmy, we started on horseback, for a ride on the other side of the Potomac, in search of news At that time an overcoat was an impediment to one's comfort, than other wise; but when we reached what was onoo termed the aqueduct, now converted into a military road, by drawing off the water, and bridging the alma turn, on the outskirts of Georgetown, the sun seemed suddenly to have disappeared over the western bills, and the atmosphere become cold and piercing, as though congealed by the frost of winter. To our left the water of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and that of the Potomac, which but a few days ago, danced and sported at the base of the ridge of earth which stretches far beyond the chain bridge to the northwest, dividing the two bodies of water, was covered over by a thick sheet of ice, across which ono might almost walk to the ' opposite shore without danger to life, while the hill-tops on either side of the Potomac wars crested with snow and ice, over which the branches of the pine showered a fall of loose snow at every breath of the wind. There was plenty of travel on the road of horsemen, and teamaterswith their heavily-ladonod wagons drawn by from four to six horses. First, there canoe an Moor, galloping "like mad," witlnn " orderly " after him, towards Washington, as though he was. the bearer of despatches to General McClellan an nouncing the descent of the entire rebel army on our extreme right wing at Prospect Hill. Next came a private—a Buoktail," wethink—who minimd a bundle under each arm, and the bridle of whose horse was thrown over the pummel of the saddle. Again, there came an ambulance, heavily bearing down upon the springs in front, at the danger, so it looked, of being pitched into the canal at the next revolution of the wheels. Just then, the driver got off the seat, and, riding up to the door of the ambulance, we pushed aside the curtains and glanced within. A sick soldier to be sure; no one need wish a second glance to convince him of that fact. He has the typhoid fever, and is very ill. His looks pro claim that The emaciated condition of his body ; the pallor of his face and lirs ; tho leaden hue of his eyes, tell you that "soldiering" with him must be laid aside for a time. ' , lle has been in the hospital for some time," so the dikver says, "and his sister having coma down to Washington to nurse him, his colonel has granted him permission to go over to Georgetown until he gets well. I don't think Tom will ever mine htick, though," adds the companion of the sick soldier in a very low voice. Poor fellow ! but it makes us feel so thankful that, if he does die. some one of his own household will be there to close his eyes, and receive his parting words. At the next turn of the road there comes in sight a long train of transportation wagons, on their way to Georgetown after forage. It has stopped at the side of the road, and the drivers of the wagons are engaged in watering their horses, to obtain which they are obliged to break the ice in the canal. Then the drivers jump into their saddles on the rear horses, and the train is soon in motion. There are pedestrians on foot—on horseback, and in carriages : strangers from Philadelphia and strangers from the far West on the road. Now there is a father or a brother, and occasionally a mother, a wife, or sister, journeying towards Langley, whither they expect to meet the loved one, from whom they have boon so long separated. And with such diversity of scone we roach the Chain Bridge. There our 'pass is examined, and we move on. Peet the little lane on the left that once led to the encampment of the lamented Colonel Baker's Brigade—past the knoll of ground on the right, where we ones made a balloon anon- Sion with Professor Lowe—past Ethan Allen on the right, where she sentinels on patrol stare at you with a wondering look, and thou turn their backs upon you and resume their weary watching, until we arrive al,the little frame house, situated on the hill-top on the right above, once occupied as the headquarters of General Smith, previous to our ad vance to Falls Ghurels, but now,used fog the put. There are mor_e_silkiiiitsLietsjny.'-- : " I? ; m " :2:: tiur 3 Wire - wards, (some of these days we shall write the story of a soldier who died here, with all the sad circumstances of his death ;) while outside the hospital several soldiers are employed in splitting wood, and piling it away beneath the shod back of the hospital. At ibis point it is that the sterility of the scene more_ forcibly reminds you of the presence of the desolating monster—war. The country around is bleak and barren ; and half-destroyed and unoccu pied houses meet the eye at every turn. Crumb ling walls, blackened by the torah that fired the structure enclosed within them, abound, on the right hand and on the left, and all proclaims how deep is the curse that has been hurled upon the traitors to our Government. Passing through similar sights to those witnessed on the road to Chain Bridge, wo reach Langley, the headquarters of Gen. McCall, the commander of tho Pennsylvania Reserve Corps. There is a pleasant welcome hero that causes ono to feel him self at home. Not alone from the General, but from Col. Biddle, and Captains Seheetz, Clow, and Meeonkey. Having obtained all the news here, which it is-proper to communicate, (none hero to day, however, proper or otherwise, " the boys" taking breath after the drubbing given the rebels at Drtmesville,) we pass on just as Brigadier General Ord, the hero of Dranerville, dismounts from his horse and enters General McCall's room. On we ride towards Lowinsvillo to call on Sur geon Shippon, division surgeonef McCall's division, who jocularly informs us that he is "neither dead nor ill," as he has been reported, and then (still onward), we drop in to see General Hancock, of Smith's division, at Mackall's Hill, within half a mile of Lewinsville ; thence across to General Smith's headquarters at Smoot's Hill, stopping at Colonel Friedman's quarters,—and then off on a gallop sores the country to Minor's Hill, Brigadier General Morroll's ; Hall's Hill, General Porter's headquarters; and still further on, until we arrived at General MoDowelPs headquarters at Upton's Hill. Here we meet General Wordsworth, with whom we enjoy a half hour's conversation, toasting our feet all the while at the grate, where the wood of the Old Dominion smokes and blazes away at a fearful rate. No news hero either—everything is flat, stale, and unprofitable. And so, as it is getting dark outside, and the weather rather too cool to be comfortable, we again mount, on our return to iVaehington, past General Auger's brigade, and, crossing the railroad where Mr. Cutts, father-in-law of the late Judge Douglas, nearly lost his life by being fired at by a rebel, late in the summer of 1861, we come to Ball's Cross Roads, aspot memo rable in our history as the place of our arrest some six months since by a certain colonel now being court-martialed in this city. Hero wo met a traveller on foot, an old man with whitened hairs, who had been a resident of Virginia for many years, but who was obliged to leave his home in consequence of the rebellion Ho walks at the side of our horse for a full half-mile, and grows eloquent as ho narrates the story of the wrongs inflicted upon him by the rebels. Colonel Averill's Cavalry; Fort Corcoran; Chor man's (late) Cavalry ; tho Arlington House, are . passed in quick succession, and then, just as the gas-lights are burning brightly, in kitchen and in parlor, on the other side of the river, our horse's feet touehltho aqueduct bridge, and in a few mo ments arrive sit Georgetown. On horseback, we have an opportunity now and then of peeping into the houses along the sidewalks, where the suppor table. with its clean white tablecloth, is being spread, and the fire on the hearth is burning most brightly. We can almost hear the clatter of dishes, as they are being sat upon the table, and the hunt of merry voices, who welcome the approach of the loved ones of the family circle. The sight has a strange charm for the reporter's eye; it may be because of the familiarity he has with the sterner scones which he daily witnesses, as "the army re porter of the Philadelphia Pass.

Although the Telegraph is almost exclusively a literary and family newspaper, it has devoted itself to an earnest advocacy of the war, and discusses with great ability the many political questions arising out of it. Alluding to the position of lukewarm loyalists in the North, the Telegraph, in a recent number, makes the following point: t , One of the handles used by these papers of doubtful loyalty is the enprmous taxes to which the war will subject the country.

Add to the wear and tear caused by these that produced by all the wheels and teams necessary for the transportation of twenty regiments, and it is at once seen in hole wretched a state the passage of a small force will leave the roads of this country. The effort to move an army of fifty or a hundred thousand men over considerable distances in any of the Southern regions is almost Herculean, and we have not yet seen it made with success by the Yen - kees in the progress of the war. There is an important physiological fact to be , recollected also in connection with this subject. For men to fight welliand long, they must not have liefore undergone fatigue mad loss of rest. If an !army is required to rise early and marsh several hours ' it is a physical impossibility forlthem to ex habit, for any length of than, the proper nerve on the field. On the morning of Manassas the Federal army tecre required to rise at three o'clock, after a fatiguing previous day, and to -march a I pull day's journey before reaching the battle field. ' They foughtpretty well until nature became over taxed, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, just twelve hours after they bail risen from sloop, they took that panio which has brought upon them so much ridicule, and which has excited so much disgust among all intelligent mon, except the more observant of our physiologists. The case was very much the same at Bethel. Their defeat was due to their cowardice, but the panic into which they fell is only to be accounted for on the physiological principles. The ease was precisely the same again at Carnifex Perry, where ltoseerans had committed the indiscretion of attacking a fierce enemy, well posted, with columns which had risen early, had been twelve hours on the march, and had been ployeloally exhausted by in tramp of twenty miles. His men could not stand the fierce volleys of our men; they took it into their heads thtq we were shotting our guns with molten opener, they took a stampede and fled; whereupon their generals thought it advisable to gall them off." The best and most successful generals of whom we have any account, from Comex to General Tay lor, have always made a point of resting their mon well immediately before going into action. If an army is rested twenty hours before going into a fight, the chances are ten to ono that they will main tam the action ten hours without any symptom of flinching or flagging unless from excessive twat or some other extraordinary cause. The physical con dition of soldiers on entering an engagement has mush more to do with their moral deportment while 'it is pending than is usually supposed. This knowledge has always been discovered by groat generals, and most scrupulously employed In plan ning all their actions. In tespect to this physiological fact we hate [Special correspondence of the Louisville Journal.] Muaronnsvimx., Hart CO., Ey., Jan. 6, 1862. The bridge over Green river will bo completed to-day, and consequently a general movement of the troops may be hourly expected. It is rumored that Hindman has taken a position at Cave creek, about twelve miles south of this place, with a force of eight or nine thousand men. If this report be true, you may expect to hear of a general engage ment before many days. Many persons seem very Impatient about the delay of our army at this place, acd with frantic cries of " On to Dowling Green," would urge a quicker movement of troops. This is simply ridiculous. It is no child's play to manceuvro thousands of troops, and at the same time pay due regard to the health and comfort of eaoh particu lar soldier. To insure victory, and especially when the antagonistic armies aro animated as at present, no advance should be made which cannot be fully sustained, and no position taken which is not in di ract and open communication with a receiving de pot. If it had been either a wise or practicable mill t .ry measure, we have no doubt that an advance would have long since been mndo, and in spite of Vie time-worn adage, that "Delays are danger ous," we are fully impressed with the belief that no dolny hits been made by this division which will nit ultimately redound to the credit of our com manding general and the honor of the country, We daily hear of pet eons who aro desirous of re. turning from the land of Dixie to their homes. Emile of these persons were formerly men of high respectability, but it is impossible to say how cor rupt they may have become since they wandered off from the faith of their fathers to worship strange gods. However, would it not be well to eller, them to return, if they will come and take the oath of allegiance, and hereafter behave them selves ? We have conversed with no one on this subject, and consequently know nothing of what the general opinion in regard to it may be, but it surely does seem that as our war is for the Union, and not a war of subjugation, that wo should be willing to forgive those who repent of their mis deeds and avow a willingness to return again to the homes and Government of their fathers ; but this is a question for the " powers that ho " to de cide. NEWS FROM THE SOUTH. The Situation [From the 3tobile Register and Advertiser, Blat.] It seems to be the popular impression—we sea it in men's faces when we do not hear it in their words—that the military affairs of the Confederacy are not very cheering just now. We may chiefly account for this tone of feeling by the fact that some time has elapsed since our arms achieved any success of moment. These victories seem, at, the first glanoo, to ho a.s much the muse as the consequence of patriotism. But, because, where our arms aro glorious with triumph our patriotism effulges, and we swear most enthusiastically by the Stara and Bars," ono man must not infer from the quietude and cheerless as pect of another, that his patriotic confidence is less fixed and earnest than it he were hurrahing over a fresh success of arms. The affair at Dranesville contributed tie mite to the depression of public spirit. We are so unused to adversity, that anything which is not a brilliant success seems defeat. Thus the invading enemy slow Col. Terry, as noble and bravo a man as wears the Confederate uniform, at the pass of Green river. They have crossed that river, which many thought would be their Sty; and aro ad. raneing in force. In Missouri, too, our banner seems to trail ; for the telegraph tells us that Price is in full retreat. Thus the enemy seems to be progressing along our northern frontier, while all around us he lords it on our coast, organizing his expeditions on our soil, and threatens us with future invasion. These aro the points of the situation. A lull, a pause, a suspense exists—preceded by minor events which cause a feeling of apprehen sion, snore than of confidence, as to she More. We know that the enemy are in groat power and meditate mischief, and fool that ore long their blows, the heaviest of the war, must fall. We trust that their hammer will strike our anvil ; but we aro not sure, for we aro in doubt whether at some points there is an anvil to meet the hammer. These points can only bo on our coast, for we are ready to meet their worst at Manassas, in Central Ken tucky, and at Columbus, and also at most points on our coast. But we do not know with what over whelming force they may not make an onslaught at some unprotected point, and gain a moms to inspirit them and dispirit us Let us remember, however, that our deteamina tion in the prosecution of his war is not depmdent on victories, though their ay he.

"Live or die, survive or perish," we are "for independence." But our Musa does not approach this bad strait yet. It displais almost an uninterrupted record of victories, and *heir remembrance should inspire our entire eonftlence as to its future history. This lull of'arms will be broken anon by the shouts of Southern victors, wherever on the border the enemy maychoose their battle-fields. Is it not why we wait maptiently, that we wait for victo ries?

Saving the Union and Letting Slavery therethea army smhyo in its s W g h r e a p; deepen ingwhen pervade the political skies; Take Care of Itself, whlrdelotha gloomis o p lei t i n d there i al t h e n y i loigssohpl darknessToi f r l re d i i spirit Tribune.] Booms to po ssess our generals, and and treason seem to hold their perfect, work ; when the nation seems to be struck with palsy, and settling down into the embrace of death, divested of power of self-preservation, a daystar of hope appears in the West, beyond the Missouri. The telegraph brings the joyful tidings that the President has authorized General James 11. Lane to gather about him an army of thirty thousand warriors of the Cromwell stamp; men in whets° hearts the sacred firos of Liberty and Union glow ; men who will strike at the vitals of rebellion quick and decisive blows, and who are not afraid of hurt ing the rebels' idol; who will wage war in earnest, and fight with an eye singly to crushing the hydra headed demon of treason, dithich has fastened its fangs in the-Union, and struggles for its destruction. The Administration has authorized GeneralLano to make Leavenworth his headquarters, and there collect together 30,000 picked men in the shortest practicable space of time, and to march to his field of operations with all the alacrity possible. Jim Lane is not the man to fall asleep when at work, nor to let his braves die of inaction and lassitude. He believes that rest wears more than friction, and that idleness kills and demoralizes more soldiers than hard marches. Lane's method of dealing with traitors is to settle accounts with them the first time he pays them the honor of a visit, and to make such clean and thorough work as ho goes along, that the same ground will not have to be conquered twice. Jim Lane's army will go forth animated with the idea that made Old Brown a terror to Secessionists, and Oliver Cromwell invincible against tyrants—love of freedom. Lane has selected Western regiments exclusively. His expedition will be a Western enterprise, and the campaign will be conducted on Western princi ples. reonomy, celerity, and bravery are the im plements. There will be no wasting of millions of treasure and months of precious time in useless, cumbrous preparations for the purpose of consum ing the subsistence mid patience of the people in doing nothing - mob as have characterized the other divisions of the army. Lane's force will be chiefly mounted. lie expects to start with 15,000 cavalry, 10,000 infantry, 1,000 flying artillery, 1,200 fuels leers, 4,000 loyal Indians, and about 1.000 contra bands, now in Kansas, on the start; but the latter force is expected to increase as he proceeds South. He can employ 8,000 to 10,000 able-bodied contra bands to great advantage, as servants and laborers.

We have not learned all of the regiments which have been selected for this grand campaign ; but Lane himself boa the choosing of them, and he will pick the best he can find. The Mechanic Fusileers at Canip Doulas was the first regiment put down on his list. He fell in love with them some time, ago. He wants them as the pioneers of his expedi tion, to open roods end fling pontoons across rivers and morasses. The law allows them the regular pay of soldiers and forty cents a day extra for all the time in which they may be employed as fast loom Colonel Daniels' Wisconsin Cavalry, en: camped at Fel:osbn. it is understood, have boon selected from that State; and Colonel Brackett's Cavalry and Baldwin's Infantry, at Camp Douglas, from this State. What other Illinois regiments aro selected is not known. Doubtless most of the regi ments that will ho embraced in this expedition are now stationed at Camp Benton, and scattered through Missouri, doing nothing, except waiting far something to turn up. To take part in an ex pedition of this kind will be their greatest felicity mud delight. The immense proportion of dragoons to foot soldiers shoes that Lane intends that celerity shall characterize his movements. There will be no snail-pace crawling along, but ho will sweep for ward like a prairie fire, enveloping and overwhelm ing all opposing foes. The infantry will be used to support the ar tillery and cavalry 'in the shock of the battle, and to wrench victory from the rebels by a rush of Mini bullets and a charge of bayonets. General Lane will not encumber himself with unnecessary baggage. He will take along no more than is ab solutely needed. lie will use the light wagon of the plains rather than the heavy, cumbersome regu lation article. When his draft animals give out he will replenish by confiscation from the rebels, He does not intend to depend on Washington for bread, or Secretary Chase for money. Ile proposes to make the traitors furnish the rations and bear the expenses of the march. It is they that caused the trouble, end they kunst bear the :cost of the court and jury which will try the ease. Lane has purchased a patent horso.power saw mill to aid the Fusileers in bridge building. He bee also bought five hundred hand corn mills, being about two to a company, to be run by the contra bands. A regiment comes to a corn field; the con trabands pitcis in and husk out the corn, shell it, dry it on pans, and grind it in the mills, and then convert it into hoo-cako, pone, and other forms of the article. Cattle and hogs will he procured by the foragers and reduced to rations. He intends there shall be no famine in his army. slt will have the beet the country affords; and wherever the Se cosh can live, there his troops can also subsist. He will take some provisions with him at the start, and trust to the resources of the country, and to the enterprise of his boys, to collect what they need. The Government will he subjected to no expense on Lane's account, after the outfit is provided. Ills men will take onro of themselves from thence for ward, and of the rebels into the bargain. The field of operations assigned to Lane by the President, is Kansas, Southwestern Missouri, Ar kansas, and the Indian Territory, as stated by tele graph, end ae much farther South as he chooses to go. After his army starts from Leavenworth, it will quickly sweep Price and his butter-nut rabble out of Southwestern Missouri, and into Arkansas. The particular direction of his further advance will be shaped by the circumstances of the case; but it can be told, with tolerable certainty, that he will visit Fort Smith, clean out the rebels, and es tablish a depot there ; that ho will quickly pacify and restore to loyalty the Cherokees, Choctaws, Seminoles, Creeks, and other tribes in the Indian Territory, which have , been led astray by rebel emissaries. A look at the map will show that the road down the Red river through Northeastern Texas into Louisiana, lies directly before him, and that Now Orleans is at the end of it, and furthermore, that it passes through a rich and fertile country, well stocked with loyal contrabands. What Lana i s in tentions may be, is more than we know, but we venture to put this prediction on record, that he is going to take his army to the Gulf of Mexico ; that he will travel by land to the Crescent City, and return by water, and that his column of 30,000 bold, daring, swift,moving warriors will do more towards striking dismay into the traitors, and crushing the rebellion, than (lens McClellan, Sherman, Buell, Lockwood, llalleek, Grant, end Paducah Smith, with their half million of soldiers, operating on pro slavery principles. Lane's men, fighting for the single purpose of saving the Union, and employing the means best adapted to that end, will accomplish more in a given period than ten times their num ber. trying to save slavery along with the Union.

We extract the following incident, graphically descriptive of the gallantry of the , tllnektall " Regiment, Colonel Kane, and of the precision with which their Minie's "told" on the Louisiana t , Tiger " Zouases, in the recent engagement with the rebels at Dranesville, from a private letter re ceived by one of the compositors in this office, from a brother in the Fifth Regiment, Pennsylvania Re serves, Colonel Simmons, dated Camp Pierpont, Fairfax county, Virginia, January 8, 1882. Wil liam Strino, Jr., the writer, is ono of a family of five brothers, all of whom have enlisted in the cause of their country: TWO CENTS. " The 'l3tiektails l fought well, and every 'Minis' told on the person pidked out in the vicinity of the breast and head. I had a long talk with Captain Magee, of the Bucktails,' a few days age, and the many interesting incidents of the 'skirmish' he related to me would very much ple'sse you,/ know. Captain Magee had command of the left wing of the regiment. Be is an intelligent Irishmuni I became acquainted with him in Western Virgaie, and ono of the many incidents he related I will' give you-: The left flank of the Bucktails ' was skirting, a small piece of woods, wherein was concealed the famous Louisiana Tigers.' The 'Bucktalls' would fire and drop, a la Zottare, and thus escape the Tigers's' bullets. At almost every volley from , the 'Tigers' the Bucktails ' would retreat, trying. to get the Tigers' out of the woods. In gradu ally falling back in this way, (which was policy,) ono of Captain Magee's men lost his cap with the bu et tail in it. The 'Tigers' were pretty well scatpred, and a big, burly rebel being in advance, picked up the cap and swung it back and forth in a defiant manner. Bucktail,' seeing rebel with his private property, broke ranks, made after rebel, and when within good shooting distance, drew a bead ' on 'Tiger,' who stopped suddenly, leaped high in the air, and dropped stone dead! 'Buck tail' rushed on to where ho lay, got hie cap, Tiger's' gun, and siv rebel bullets- put through his clothing. There is grit for you!" • A Visit to Camp Griffin. [Correspondence of The Prem.] Last week I had the pleasure of visiting. Camp Griffin, which lies about three or four miles- above the Chain Bridge, and about six or eight miles-from Dranesvillo. It is pleasantly situated on a hill, which overlooks the surrounding camps. Gen. liancock's Brigade, composed of the Pbrtn sylvania 49th, the New York 434, the Wisconsin sth, and the Maine 6th, occupy a principal portion of the camp, and it is of them that I intend more particularly to speak. Gen. Hancock reviews and drills his brigade every day or so, and on this occasion a set of men are presented whose equals for soldier-like appear ance and good discipline are not to be found in any portion of the vast army now in the field. Gen. Hancock, himself, is a fine officer, perfect gentleman, and fully qualified to hold the office entrusted to him. The colonels of the different regiments under him are all men of the same stamp, and especially is such the ease with Wm. 11. Irvin, of the Pennsylvania Forty-ninth, who served his country faithfully through the Mexican war. He is a good soldier, and kind to his men, and there is not one of them who would not follow him into the very gates of hell." As a general thing, the health of this brigade has not been so good as that of some of the others thereabouts, which is accounted for by the fact that it, being in the advance, has been doing all tho picket duty, which has broken down a great many of the men. In one company, of one of the regiments no less than thirty-two were reported at one time on the sick list. Strictly speaking, the men have not gone into t winter quarters, but they are almost as comfortable I as if they had done so. Each moss gets at work, and builds a square, place of hewn pins logs, filling the chinks with clay, and then they sot their tent on the top of this. With a good fire in this, it be comes as warm as could be desired. Some have stoves, some fire-places, while others have a sort of bake-oven, which extends under half of the ground covered by their quarters, making at very pleasant. The men have different ways of whiling away the spare time. Some talk, some read, some have "nigger shows;" but by far the most usual way is by singing, and I will conclude my article by giving you a snatch of u song which I heard while passing througli a company street of the Forty ninth. It ran thus 6 . The Forty-math, De are the crow To ralee the stripes—red, white, and blue; McClellan now, who takes command, Will lead us down to Dixie's land ; MT Davis may ride jackass or mule— We're bound to catch him, his neck to pull." WIDE-AWAKE. The ilitssissvoi Gunboats and Flotilla. A correspondent of the Missouri Repriblicall, I writing from Cairo, under date of January 6, While affairs aro so - still on land, the navy is more than atoning for it by increased'activity. Steamers are moving from one point to another, transferring necessary loads, some for immediate physical com fort, others for future 'offensive operations, while score of little tugs dart along the ater, puffing offi ciously with the mighty responsibility of errand delivery. allTrotseen at an • moment dm._ V, err arannanu not ready for service. They can be Made so in a err days. The gunboats aro nearly completed, the last finishing touches being all now necessary. The Benton, which will bo the flag-ship, has had. its. boiler placed lower in the hull, and floats upon the, water the most formidable river craft probably ever made. From trial the jar caused by firing on. the Afferent boats is so slight as to be hardly per ceptible, while the craft can be moved in position easier than was anticipated. They will soon thun der their broadsides before Columbus, and on. their effect will hang the fate of the rebel stronghold. While the Federal gunners, under cover of the iron sides, will be working more safely than in case mates, their opponents, within open earthworks, will be fully exposed to the falling storm of shot and shell. The advantage possessed by the assail ants in such a case was fully shown at Port Royal ; and, with the immense mortars and splendid guns of the present fleet in fullplay, Columbus cannot be held. The country for a mile sur rounding there can in less than a day bo made wholly untenable, a perfect rain of shell falling among its defenders, while not one shot in two hundred fired at the boats will prove effective, unless setting at naught all calculations of science. Although underestimating the struggle necessary to take Columbus would be worse than folly, the opposite view can be rendered still more injurious by embracing the extreme, and placing before Union soldiers the ghosts of impossible and barely imaginable terrors. Every clump of bushes around Columbus is not a masked battery, and their flying artillery are not 125-pounders, like the Lady Polk, of Belmont fame, which burst, it will bo remembered, some time since, killing so many, and nearly breaking the leg of Sir Bishop, after whose lady it was named. To show the difficul ty of bitting vessels on the river, the case of the. Lexing, tot/ and Conestoga, which occurred when first came to Cairo some mouths since, will de monstrate. These boats were engaged for over three hours with several batteries, in all twenty guns, justabove Columbus, and-although the can nonading was kept up vigorously by the Con• federates, not a single shot took effect. A'gunboat, when in action, lies with the bow up stream, in which position it is more motionless, and does not sway with the current's action, only the stern's breadth affords an object for its opponent's aim, and at a mile and a half, or oven less, this appears small, At peaceful practice it would be hard to hit a similar target, and in the heat of battle it is mush more difficult. So, with all the bragging and taunts of another Manassas, the most prudent military men stoutly affirm that Columbus can and will be taken. The Confederate army now there numbers about thirty thousand strong; and a deserter who came into the lines night before last states that six hun dred torpedoes are sunk in the river between Co lumbus and Memphis. This last story serves to shows how credulous a commander would bo who I should place any reliance upon the men who con i staidly arrive, proclaiming themselves from the Se cession army and telling marvellous tales of hair • breadth escapes.

Hoiv a Rebel Sympathizer was Trapped. A Cairo corregondent of the Missouri Rept6li. can says: A rather amusing circumstance happened at Caledonia, where Captain Fullerton's company is stationed. A very respectable old gentleman, holding a high office in the county has long been suspected of Secemion sympathies, , and it was de dressinedto try him. A young man of the company ed himself in fine citizens' clothes, went to tin old roan's house at night, and asked for " assist, lame " He was gruffly told that he could get no , money or anything else ; but after some parleying, disclosed that he was a bearer of despatches to the Southern Government, and that it was absolutely necessary for him to cross the river that night. lie was immediately brought into the house and warmly welcomed, being treated to a good supper, with spiritual accompani ments. As there were no skiffs in the neighboi hoed, the old man told him the location of some logs, and gave him a rope to tie them, so as to make a raft, offering to assist him. The Confederate emissary thought that he could do the job alone, and went off with the rope, which he carried down to quarters. The next morning a dle of Soldiers brought the "Squire" into camp, where he was charged with secessionism. He denied the charge, whereupon he was confronted with his guest of the night before, ontl the rope. Ile then made a clean breast of it, and was released upon taking the oath of allegiance and promising to abstain from similar acts in future. Eater from Port Royal. NEre YORK, Jan. 14.—The steamer Oriental has arrived from Port Royal, with dates to the 4th instant. She passed the steamer Atlantic, going in, nt six o'clock in the morning.

The colonel of a regiment stationed at Hilton Head, who come up on the t r ainferbitt, and is now at Washington. says that he has no doubt of his ability to take Charleston with his Single regiment, ' to great is the Southern panic, Houses ton miles iss the interior are known to have been abandoned by their owners as hastily, and left in the same condition, as-the Beaufort residences were found.

Accommodations- at Fort Warren We understand that the prisoners of war at Port Warren are co well satisfied with their condition there, and have so little stomach , to be further " counted in" in the fight on the Sonthern side s that from forty to fifty of them have voluntarily surrendered their right of exchange to others.
