success of the naval expedition. The Her
aid says: IA shout of triumph is ascend
ing to the skies, from every portion of the
Northern States, which will not cease until
our glorious flag waves once more over
every portion of the republic. The death
kuell of treason has sounded, and, by the
Fourth Of July next, the festival of ourin-
dependence will be celebrated, as of yore,
by a united, peaceful and prosperous ma
ton"
The World says that "the effect Of this
success of the Federal arms upon Beaure-
CARDS army begins to make itself manifest
in disturbances and even positive mutinies.
We do not believe it possible that the
grand rebel army can be kept together
with the knowledge Of such portentous
events in the cotton States. But it is idle
to forecast developments when they are
unfolding with such astonishing rapidity
as in these hours. They need no herald
ing.p
Says the Times: "We cannot see but
that this success is the prologue to the
swelling act of the imperial theme of Union
triumph and rebel discontinue; and the
national salute booming from the Navy
yards of the States at noon to-day will
awaken such echoes of high hopes as mo-
thing IN the war has yet inspired"
The Tribune thinks that athere is no as
J pect of this victory which is not bright; it
is, moreover, the sure precursor of even
more brilliant successes in the future, till
there shall be NO longer any place for
either battle or victory"
The Post takes moro modestand ration

Successive only unquestionable test
of merit that the world ian understand

The great majority of tdult-fnders will
grow goOd-humored and even modest in
the light of victory; and although there
will always be some who think they could
have done the best thing better, they will
find buttons left in their hands If they at
tempt the conversion of their friends to
that opinion. Hope will lift her fair face
again, and sailors, soldiers, officers and
even Secretaries, will be bathed in the glo-
rifyiug radiance. How kind will be our

The correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times, writing from 'Camp Loup Greek,
near Gauley," under date of the 10th inst,
says;
In my last letter informed you of an
early preparation for general battle, but
up to the present time nothing of the sort
has transpired, although we are momentar-
lily expecting it, and will surely have it if
some unforeseen event does not trnnspire.
If such thing as a battle does take place,
it will be one of determination on either
side. For it will be the great battle for
the supremacy in the Kanawha valley
The strength of the Southern forces is va
riouslY estimated at from 1000 to 5000,
not including cavalry and artillery. Our
forces must at least be $4,000. The Sou
thern forces are commanded by Generals
Floyd and Hensingen, and are now situated
between Cotton Mountain and Fayette-
vile.
General Benham's Brigade, some $500
strong, are at this point. Gen. Schenck's
is at Camp Ewing, near Mountain Gave,
Col. MGCook's Brigade few miles from
them; Gen. Cox is at Gauley, and General
Rosecrans at Tompkin's farm. The men
are all in good spirits, and anxiously
awaiting the coming contest. The truth
of the matter is, they are willing to meet
double their number, so as to get out of
Western Virginia, and if they are foiled in
this attempt to capture Floyd, they will
feel worse than ever.
In concluding his letter. however, he
kills off the prospect of fight thus:
Since writing the above, have learned
that the rebels have vamosed from the
Fayetteville road, and are now making tall
tracks for LeWisburg. Floyd was. too
"wide awake" to put his head into the
trap laid for him. Several of our officers
are terribly exasperated at being thus de-
priYed of capturing the arch-thief and
among them all, saw none more excited
than the brave Gen. Benham. he felt al
most confident that his brigade alone would
be able for Floyd, and to be thus deprived
of seeing him excited him considerably
1t was surprising to me to see how expedi-
tiously he marched his whole brigade
across the Kanawha at night. Not muir
muir escaped the lips of single mar-not
a sound hardly was heard-all was done
in quiet, easy and knowing manner.

Concerted Action of tho government.

In the correspondence of an exchange
we find the following:
tits remarkable coincidence that Mel
sons capture of Williams, the destruction
of tie East Tennessee Railroad connection,
and the successful landing of our fleet,
should have happened simultaneously
Nelson's part of the coincidence was no
doubt accidental. but is not the less OPP
perfume. He can now reinforce General
Thomas, and the whole army eau rush in
to the help of the brave men who help
themselves in East Tennessee. But the
burning of the Tennessee bridges at the
time Of the landing of the feet, looks like
the officers of the Government had really
established n concert of action between
themselves and the Governments friends
in that section-quite an Improvement;
but most wonderful of all, that the Gov
eminent should not have been betrayed in
this plan by some traitor. 1t is certain, at
least, that the East Tennesseeans had
concert among themselves; for the field of
their operations seems 20 have extended
from $50 to 200 miles throughout the
