SOMETHING DEFINITE.

There is every indication that something
is to be done by our Government to speedi-
ly put down the rebellion. We are unable
to say what plan of operations has been
adopted to bring about this most desirable
object. Judging from statements made in
several of the leading papers of the coun-
try, the scene of conflict is to be changed
from Virginia to South Carolina and Geor-
gia, and that the bloody ground" of the
army of the West is to be Tennessee and
Mississippi instead of Missouri. This is
right Those States which led off in this
unholy and unjust rebellion, should be made
the battleofelds. They should be made to
feel all the immediate horrors of civil war.
Their cities and towns should be laid in
ashes. Charleston should never more dis
grace the map of the United States. 1t has
always been the hot-bed of dissatisfied
and ungodly set of politicians.
Gen. Halleck is preparing as fast as pos
sible to move the army of the West down
the Mississippi, while large numbers of our
troops in the East have been sent TO rein
force the coast fleet. Some big strikes right
at the heart of the rebellion will be made
soon. l1lasam a.t a4 aas a"
Secretary Chase, whom we regard as THE
man of the Cabinet, in the course of some
remarks lately made to the New York Bank
els, 50 gave strong and pointed assurances
that the. government now saw their way
clearly to quiet the rebellion; that they had
information which warranted him in saying
that the public would soon hear glad It'd
ings of success, more startling and more eff-
tective in their resalts than those from Port
Royal and the West that neither the Gov
eminent nor Gen. Nc Clelan e0er had the
least idea Of, placing the army an acinter
quarters, but, on the contrary, the military
plans all contemplated regular, systematic
and energetic activity in pushing forward
upon the rebels as prudence and Judgment
dictated that government had ample funds
to supply every liability until February l,
and that all the machinery of the depart
ments was gradually working into very
satisfactory state of efficiency
. The Fortress Monroe correspondent of
the New York Herald, writing on the 10th,
says Major General John E. Wool, in an
swer TO an application for furlough to-
day. stated in reply that he would not give
an officer or private leave of absence for
the next three weeks, as the campaign then
would be over What is going to be done
I am not at liberty to say but you may
look for some important movements in this
department in short time
This information, coming from high au-
thority. is significant. Some grand scheme
is evidently on foot to bring the war to a
close, and that speedily.

The Northwest is rapidly becoming the
greatest graDery of the world. Thirty years
ago breadstuffs were sent from Buffalo
Westward to supply the settlers in the viii
derness.o The first shipment of wheat from
Chicago was made only twenty-thrse years
ago. This year the receipts of grain from
the West at Buffalo from thegopening of
navigation to and intending October 31st
were 81. 969,142 bushels. This sum in
cludes flour reduced to grain. The receipts
this year are three times those of 1859:
neaaly twice those of 1858: tventyoae mill
ion bushels crater than those of 1860, and
over four million crater than thoes Of 1859
