delAhia Press as follows: r
With out attempting to disclose the
movements Of the army and navy, l
feel free 10 speak of the operations
Of the CORPS under Gen. Anderson, in
Eent1cky, and under Gen. Fremont,
in Missouri. About the 10th of Oc-
to6et Anderson will have raised such
an army of Kentuckians and East
Tennesseeans as to keep the seces-
sioBists Of Tennessee effectually in
cheek; and it is to be hoped that be
fore the same period Fremont will
have mustered an army sufficient TO
-threSk the traitors in the neighbOr-
hood Of Springfield, and then, if he
chooses, to attempt his expedition for
the descent of the Mississippi. The
shores of the MisSippi must be clear
ed of all hostile batteries. and in or
der to effect this the gunboats will
probably cooperate with such corps
darRlee as will converge upon them
from either side. Whether this will
be successful depends upon informa-
tion especially confded to Major Gen.
Fremont. The great battle, in any
event, will have begun along the whole
line from the Atlantic to Kansas by
the middle of October. Military au-
sfhorities estimate that we shall then
have three hundred and fifty thousand
men under arms, exclusive of reserves
and Of the Home Guards in Ken
tucty, Maryland, and Missouri.
At every point attacked, thctefore
we ought to outnumber the enemy =
Our armies will be well supplied.
well provisioned, well drilled, well
equipped and we'll commanded. =
Under such circumstances it is
not extravagant TO expect success, nor
is-it reasonable to believe that the
Eobel troops from the cotton States
viii remain patiently under arms III
Virginia, while their homes arc being
assailed by expeditions from the
North. They are nOtorio,Isly def
cient IN equipments, clothing, shoes,
arms, medicines, and general supplies.
How, then, can they contend on equal
terms with force proilI@ely provided
with all these neccsSarics? Let us
remember that it was proved at Bull
Run, that, whenever NOrthcrncrs and
Soutllerners met in a fair field, the
former were tile better mcn. Is il
likely, then, that an inferior South
ern force will stand long against a
superior Northern force? | think,
therefore, that the plan of the cam
paign renders success morally Ger
tain to our armies. Remember, VIC
arc not fighting to subjugatc the
South, nor yet to abolish slavery
(that may follow from the act of the
traitors themsclves) nor to conquer
territory. Our object is to defeat
and disperse the rebel armies now
Overrunning the Southern States
That done, our work is achieved. =
When these armies are scattered, the
Southern people will be invited to cX-
ercise the privilege of clecting mem
bers of Congress. Postal facilities
will be restored to them, and they
will be protected from spoiIation by
the banditti, and enjoy all the rights
of citizens of the United States.
Tho recent elections In Maryland
and Kentucky, and, The late demon
strations in North Carolina, show
how gladly this change will be wei
coined. There will not be a Soutll-
ern State in winch rebel ticket
would stand any chance after JEFF.
Davis armies are defeated in the
