AIsIrs nj Eurl Pickena

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Post, mentioned that the Sc
ceSsionists in Washington and Baltimore
we're on Sunday last much cast down at
the news of the rebel losses at Pensacola.
1t is known that these persous have ex-
trsordinary mesns Of information, and
generally have knowledge of importan,
events occurring in the South in advance
even of tue Government. 1t seems that
on this occasion, too. tney were well in
formed. The telegraph brings ur accounts
to day Of affairs at Pensacola, in which
not only Fort Pickens but also several Of
our ships are said TO have taken part
That the rebel accounts are very meager
is something in our favor, and when We
remember, beside, that, according to our
correspondent, the Washington Secession
lists are cast down at the result, we may
feel sure that our arms have fully sus'ain-
ed themselves and inflicted loss on the
enemy. in the Gulf.
Colonel Brown. the Commandant Of
PickonS, las long been ready for the re.
bells; and felt himself able not only to re-
pei an assault, but also 10 drive them out
of their works.
A gentlemen Of this city writes US, on
this point, as follows: II dined with Col
ontl Brown in Fort Pickens about ten
weeks ago; and he showed me, from the
parapet of the fort, after dinner, in what
manner and by what means he could with
out great difficulty, drive the enemy our
Aof every one Of his works. But he said
it would take seven thousand five hum
dred men to hold the shore works against
the rebels, and unll the Government was
ready 10 occupy Pensacola, it was of nc
use 10 waste powder and shot on Bragg
Col. Brown, therefore, did not mean tc
; fire unless FIRST attacked. In that case be
proposed TO return the fire OF the enemy
and show him his power" ....

The Enemy's Military Posi-
lions in Virginia.
Correspondence of tho Evening Post.1
r WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.
THE REBEL EXHAUSTION.

Rotert j. Walker, who is here, asserts
with gIea. positiveness that the rebel
treasury will completely break down be,
fore next March, and that the rebellion
will by that time prove an utter failure.
Mr.. Walker has had an extensive exper-
ience in the South, and understands the
capabilities of the rebe! States as well as
any public man not engaged in the rebel
lion. Other Southern men here assert
that while he does not underrate the ma
terial resources of the South, he does not
give full credit TO their desperate energy
and bitter hatred OF the North. Promi.
ncnt Kentuckians, who are unquoslioned
friends Of the Union and the Government
say that from their knowledge Of South.
ern character, they are convinced that it
will take two or three great victories up.
on the battle field to cure the rebels Of
their folly. They assert that the South
cannot be starved into good citizenship;
but that anything which shall convince
the great mass of Southern people Of
their infSrioIity on the field of battle, will
plunge them instantly in the depths oil
despair.
THEY MUST BE WHIPPED INTO ORDER.
Up to the time of the success OF tho
naval expedition at Port Royal, the South.
ern people were proudly confident Of tbeir
power to sink our entire navy, if an at
tempt should be made to attack their
forts With our ships. A panic suddenly
followed the Government success, aud it j.
running all over the South. The South
ern people have the same blind confidence
in their troops The latest Southern news
papers are filed with boasts Of the superi
or courage and ability Of the rebel troops
The succesSes Of the rebel arms in East
ern Virginia have, led many Southern
people to suppose thai the rebel troops ar
really better fighters than the Gov2rnmen
soldiers. They must be disabused o
this idea before they will acknowledge th
Government. Tns view taken by MI
Walker very generally obtains in Wash
liugton. Everything passes SO quietl,,
that some Of our people imagine that tn
rebels are about ready to flock in and Ia
down their arms. No. man in Americ
/; believes, less in tbls theory than Gensr'
