A srKArEGtQ MOVEMENT.

Ex-Governor and ex-Secretary Floyd has
Issued proclamation as 'Brigadier:Gcne-
1al Of the Confederate Army" calling upon
lie people Of his military district to arm
and organize for tbs defence Of the Vir-
g7nia and Tennessee railroad, against an
invasion which he understands is threat
cped By the Valley Of the KanaTha-
There are six regiments Of Ohio troops,
and three or four from Indiana, ordered to
uoss tic Ohio river at Marietta, and
march up the Kanawha Valley. Our
Sturges' rifles have gone to join this ex-
petition, and it is reported that the Hof-
nun Dragons are ordered to the same
field Of action and usefulness.
l. Elance at the map will show the
strategic importance Of this. line Of opera
1ions. Southwestern Virginia is full Of
lcya! pcnplc, who only need the presence
OF national troops to hoist tho. Stars and
Stripes and proclaim their attachment to
the Union. BY the time the Division
reaches the Virginia Springs, the country
will be cleared of rebels, paci6ed and re-
stored to a]1cgiancc 4 short march farther
will take the Troops TO Christiansburg on
the Richmond, Knoxville and Memphis
Railroad, and enable them to cut of the
communications Of the rebels with the
Southwest, and stop their supplies and re-
Inducements from that direction.
The Division would be placed in COM
munication with The loym people Of Eastern
Tennessee, who have just signalized
their loyalty by giving 10000 uncondi-
tional Union majority. The distance from
Christiansbnrg 10 Knoxville is but a few
hours run on the railroad
We observe by our dispatches that the
Government has chartered large number
Of steamboats, ut Pittsburg to proceed to
tie mouth Of the Great Knnawha. They
arc doubtless intended for transportation
service up that river, which isnavigab1e at
nil seasors to the mouth Of the Ganley
river, which is about 100 miles from the
Ohio. From thence to Christiansburg
there IS coed turnpike road.
4 force Of 10000 men, vigorously led,
cen overcome all obstacles which tho reb-
els will be able to interpose. II Gen. Lyon
we're placed OF the head Of such force,
he would reach the great South
Western Railroad IN less than twenty days,
and have the secessionists wiped out OF
Eastern Tennessee and Southwestern Vir-
ginia. Tie infamous thief and traitor,
Floyd, resides ut Wytheville, right in the
line of the contemplated operations. BE
is experiencing paro1ysm Of fear lest
this advancing Of troops may be made,
and cries out that there is "greas danger
to eur cause from such movement"
Oh! for Lyon to lead the bold soldicra
Of Ohio, 1nd;nna and Illinois on this i'm
porant expedition a blow would ba
struck at the Titals Of secession.
