THE WAR OouuESoED IN VIR-

GENEA.
The advicss received on yesterday evening
from Virginia show that the LINCOLN Govern
msnt has dared to take the fatal step at last.
The Rubieon has been crossed, and the conflict
thus insuguratsd By the invasion Of our soil
must from this date be waged with vigOr, en-
srgv and sarnestness. From six to ten thou
sand federal troops have been dispatched to
the western bank OF the Potomac, and Alex
sndris, after a slight skirmsh, has fallen as
was expected, into the hands Of the enemy
without serious opposition.
This movement is all that President DAVIS
has awaited. Alexandra, we have thought,
has been left as . tempting morsel for the sd-
Tsrsary, with the expectation that they would
attempt its capture. SoOTr, gudgeon-liks,
has bitten at it with remarkable rapaeity. We
shall soon see how nicely ne has been caught
IN the trap that was set for him.
7 appears to as, from our personal knowl-
edge o. The topography Of the country adjacent
to Alexandria, that the abolition forces viii
scarcely be able to maintain their position a
single week. The Confederate troops in Vir-
giniR VII PROBABLY number some sixty tnou-
sand, while the federal forces at Washington DO
notrxcssd thirty thousand. The Orange and
Alexandra railroad, running out from the lat
ter city, has branch Communication with
Riehnond, Lvnehburg and other military en-
eampsnents, where these troops are quartered-
one Of them, CslpspPsr Court House, being
only about Eve hours distance.
WITHOUT disturbing the ten thousand troops
at Nor folk, about twenty thousand men
can at Alexandria within
y-four hours time. snouiu sesTT at
to meet this move by sending man for
emp his force at Washington would be re-
Ped to only about 10000 in number, which
would subject Washington City to the danger
OF an attack from Hsrper's Ferry, with con-
siderable chances OF success.
Speculation, however, can avail but little at
such a time. The first aggression has been
made By LINCOLN, and LrEooLS must bear the
eonsequsnces. SsIf-dsfsuse no longer means
a stsnd-stil policy-it is nov not ~ineompati-
bic with an tm1ediats aiBaHos 5eyo8d the PO-
fomac.

EDIToRs APFEAL: Five additional regi-
msnt' Of volunteers from Mississippi have been
ordered to rendezvous at Corinth, where the
field officers will be elected. I desire to sug-
gest the name of Col e.. F. McGshss, Of Pa
nola county, as colonel Of the regiment to be
composed of the companies from north Missis-
sippI. Col. MsGehee is a gentleman who has
sustlined a high social and political position
in this State for sons years, and possesses sx-
tenive military knowledge and skill. He is a
bold and able champion of southern rights, and
them is no man ia our State who is better cal
culated to lead the Mississippi troops to bat

By reference to our teIegraphie dispatch

day Of fasting and prayer. This is done in
compliance With aresolutiOn Of the Confeder-

Of the o~ceaslon should be general.

ENGLISH OPINION OF rus WAS

The London RsvieV Of the 4th inst, has a
sensible article on American politics, from
which we extract the following;

WIN We pAAldGk AlE 8lANhiAl
Although there is much buster in the North,
and much solid determination in the South-a
gathering Of armed men, and loud and angry
eDullitiOns Of passion and vindietiveness In
every part Of tie country, all OF which are
perfectly natural and intelliglble-it is evident
to univ passioDed bystanlsrs and sincere we'll
wishers to both parties, such as wee are in
England, that the caus. Of the South is dss-
tined to succeed, AID that the restoration OF
the Union Is impossible. The great State Of
Virginia has finally cast in her lot with the
slsveholding Confedsraey; and all other States
where black men and women are considered

cannot be conquered. President Lincoln, In
the attempt to uphold an authority that no
longer exists, NAV carry the war into Texas
or Louisiana; and Presiden. Davis may attempt
the csptHrs OF Washington by a coup dc main.
The waters OF strife may be poured cut In a de.
LUCE OF devastation,of which the evil effects may
eat into the very heart Of American property
and aiiberty, Snd retArd tho progress Of the
country for a century. Athousand other untow-
ard contingencies may arise to set At naught
the calculations Of the prudent or the sspira-

remotely or Immediately, It ls clear that the
Union is as dead as the Hsptarehy. And
wer it possible for Mr.. Lincoln to invade,

From Tie Richmond Dispaichs Nay q
An aeee sion to the number Of volunteers
stationed at Richmond took place Yesterday
morning at two o'clock A. n, the Daneills
train having arrived At that N with the 2d
regiment Of Tennessee volunteers, composed %
952 men, and ccmmandedby CcL VIM. B Bste,
a distinguished lawyer Of Gallafin county,
Tenn, az also q well tried soldier upon the
historic fields OF Mexico. It's other field and
staff officers are Lieut.. Goodsll, Of Sumner CO.,
one Of the irst to scale she walls Of Moutersv,
In The great battle which derived itsnsme from
that place. Major Doak, a member Of the
Tennessee legislature, also earned a soldiers
fame IN Mexico. CAPT. NJ. W. Cluskey, our
eonfrsre Of the Memphis Avalanche, is on the
staff Of the Colonel as Qasrtermaster Of the
regiment. DR.. Kennedy, Of Sumner, Ia sur
geOn and DR.. Erskine, OF Shelby, the assistant
surgeon Of the regiment, both leading members
Of The medical profession in Tennessee. We
Dc not r~ecoIlect to have seen a finer body Of
men In any regiment. Most Of them are from
Sumner, Davidson aud Rutherford counties,
though Bedford is represented BY a company,
As lie Marry and Shelby the extreme western
counties in the State.
We give q list OF the companies and their
captains: Company A, Captain Stephen
White, Sumner county; company B, Captain
Anderson. Msury county; company G, Captsin
Clancy, Davidson county; company d, Capt.
Henry, Rutherford county; company E, Capt.
Hunt, Shelby county; company F, Capt. T. D.

Erthmsr, Nashville; company Fl, Capt. Den
nison, Bedford county; company J, Captain
Humphrey Bate, Sumner county. The Caro-
lima Greys; Capt. Hunt, is the color company
Of the regiment.
The title Of this gallant band Of soldiers
from the Volunteer State, who have come from
their far homes to resist the invasion Of Vir-
ginia soil By the vandal troops Of Abraham
Lincoln, is the "WAlker legion designation
significant Of their Just appreciation Of the

menace us too clearly with a new Bsrbsry that
ssall eclipse The infamy of the old"
The Timer goes on to assert-uPOn what SUI
thority We cannot sst-that Presiden. DAVIS
knows full well that none bit "slave-Tadsrs,
professed pirates, escaped e~onViets and gal
lows-birds1 would in this age accept "a com
mission to rob and plumber private property on
the high seass any more readily than a com
mission to assssl, lnrn and murder, on
dry land.D And this is the way IN which an
abolition journal speaks Of a practice which
has existed among civilized nations since the
year 1870, and which no other nation on the
globe has upheld with such zeal and persist
eney as the late United States 81 America !
When all Europe protested againts It in a
style almost as savage and t~rueulent as that Of
the Timer, the old Federal Government stood
forth solitary and alone to defy the combined
powers Of that continent with Der appreciation
Of it. It makes a great difference, it seems,
against whom the principle must operate.
When your bull was gored it was a
matter Of slight Importance, but now it's my
OK. So long ss privatssring only damaged an
enemy, it was perfectly humane, proper and
legitimate; but so soon ss Yanksedom feels
the bot shot Of its broadsides upon northern
commerce, thsir minds become piously
inclined, and they can readily discover and
denounce its "nfamY." This elasticity OF
p%oli;lcsl principle lie one Of the features Of
Yankee character which the present crisis has
tullg Q lped. nsome instances their sum
uers have proceeded with al the meas
ured sIoWnsss with which a watch hand tra-
verses its circular psthwsy-in others with the
CELEBRITY Of the movements Of an acrobat. It's
universal and invarisble handspring will
always be found in self-interest, cupidity and
avaries.
