Rosencrans and Reynolds have performed
feats of almost incredible valor. Their re-

columns, indicate unexampled genius and
courage, and soon that portion OF the Old
Dominion will be entirely cleared of traitors.
From this geographical point we may hope
fully look for assistance for the patriots Of
East Tennessee, in conjunction with the
troops at Camp Dick Robinson. under the
gallant Gen. Nelson.
The success of Reynolds ard Rosencrans

Stare and give countenance and confidence
to the Union sentiment now eagerly awaiting
chance to display itself in North Carolina.
These are the glad promises of the present.
The reader will perceive that wherever the
clouds are falling away from our cause in the
Southern States, our armies are fighting, not
