victories of the Week.
Our arms have met with mrcsuccesscs
during the last week. In Kentucky, Mis
souri, and on the Potomac, we have gained
brilliant successes. At Mnmfordavillc, our
troops displayed great-bravery.and steadi
ness, and, with the odds against them,
- drove back the enemy. In Missouri, the
strategy displayed'was admirable, and Iho
. successes of the most important character:
Thert is now more proßpect of the rcbel
on being completed crushed out in those
Btates, | than at any time since the com
mencement of the war. On the Potomac,
our Pennsylvania Volunteers have at last
met the enemy in a fair stand-up fight, and
with about equal numbers, as far as we can
ascertain, and have shown that the rebels
are no match for them. They were routed,
and- fled, leaving their guns, arms, blan
kets, etc., as trophies for our men. We are
proud of our Pennsylvania soldiera._ They
havq nobly redeemed the State from the
ignominy, inflicted by the retreating three
months regiment at the battle of Bull Run.
This week will 1 most .likely witness
further, and probably greater successes.
Our armies are now acting with increased
vigor,- and we may look for ponderous
- blows to fall in rapid succession. We ex
pect soon to hear that Gen. Bent, has
gained » victory at^ Bowling Green, and is
on a ' triumphal' march for Nashville.
Then the river fleet will more, and seces

in Kentucky, on the coast, in the Gulf, and
on the Mississippi, will find itself approach

“The speculators and peculators ought all

the one altogether indispensable thing for

was really sad to see them—a noble body
of soldiers—without the rifles which shonld
be their pride. As yet they hare only been
able, despite the utmost exertions of the
Colonsl, to obtain fifty muskets for guard
duty. It is a wonder that the'men retain
their spirits under such long delay, and it
speaks well for their officers that they are
not discouraged.
Good marksmen as they are, they-baTS

trouble in the War Department has thus far
presented their getting them. Let us hope
they will soon bays the weapon they are
