Gen. Mcclellan to Make ssGiacter.
like, Advances go -

n
Now, all the strategic advances venturad
| by Mcclellan during the last month. by
which the range of hills from Alexandra II
point near Great Falls is at last impregna-
Oily our own, seem TO have been made with
the view of securing that base for an onward
march OF the army, which can alone make
SUCH movement rapid, harmonious, aud ir
reslstlble. At least this appears to me fbe
great result attained by the occupation of
Prospect Hill. Townsville, Upton's, Munson's.
MasOn's, and the rest. -
For now nearly the entire column late in
Washington, having been hurried over the
river and encAmped in the rear of these ont
posts, truly "Grand Army of the Potomac,
Is stretched-wing, centre, and wing-aiong
a nfteen miles front. 1t is actually IN posi-

reserve concentrated behind Batteries are
distributed at short and adequate Intervals.
and do not see why Mcclellan NAV not AT
any moment, at ta1tiUe hours notice eren pusb
on In full force over the four roads to inte
rlOr Virginia, which be now occupies and
commands. His complete maintenance of
the Leesburg turnpike gives him also clear
passage Tor Hank movements along the en-
tire front.
1t is, however, not improbable that he will
feel his way cautiously to Manassas, taking
Fairfax Court House ere long; and then, by
glacier like advances, crowd the enemy into

reason tor this course is, that while the ey:-

HORRIBLE ATRoCVTY OF ,EKKE
LENCOLNITES.
Two Southern Rights Men RrHtaIEy
Murdered at PRdUcah!!

We are informed upon what we regard
as reliable authority, that last week two
prominent Southern Rights men of Pa
ducah were brutally murdered by the
commander of the Lincoln trroops at
that point, for no crime of their own but
simply in retaliation for the shooting of
some rascal pickets near Paducah. The
victims of the Lincoln Government were
MIR. THos. BELL and Captain J. DAVIS.
They were both shot, and our informant
states as positive fact that the brutal
wretches who perpetrated the deed first
nailed Bell to the wall with large spikes
through the palms of his hands and his
flesh.
Men of Kentucky! the blood of these
martyrs cries aloud to you for vengeance!
Let it be swift and terrible!
