THE PReGsBSS OF FL SOUTH"
EzN CAUSE
The old proyeFb that f5ev5igticas never 90
backwards has received a co.roborstion from
the Incidents that bsvs lrarspired on the
American continent during tue past few
months, that is perhaps more signal than auy
vet recorded in history. The dssnthralneet
Of I5aIy, the land cf poesy ana song, from tue
b.izhtiag tyranny Of tae BouFb3ns, and her
establishment under the auspices OF a new
and prosperous administration, palss in the
I-aaenila5e Of its importance before the result
tast has been achieved by southern arms on
1lis side Of the Atlantic.
The rapid progress OF our cause, when We
~5ae to consider it properly, is almost aston
5shiDg to ourselves, and far exceeds tue hope
1lzt had been cherished By the most saBgaine
patriot among Us. It vas only on the IS-h Of
February last that the representatives. Of five
Sou bern States, with0u. any extraordinary
Pomp or circumstance, such as is usually at
tsndanS on inaugurati01s, installed JEFFERSON
DAVIS President Of tue iRfaat Confederacy at
Montgomery. The Congress, which was then
il session, after m1ch federation came to the
cs1eFlzisrsass about thirty thousand volun-
tesrs could be rsissd3Hs2se OF war, to defend
their country from invasion. and others doubt
faily advised that the number might, under
uFgent circumstances, possibly be increased to
fifty thousand. L is only when We consider
this fact, aH3 rapidly follow The rushing cur

Ia Northwestern Virginia, we are fast re-

orous movements. Tas enemy has probably

strongly posted on Cheat MoaDtsin, and a psrt

men in command, and tie earnest which
they have lately given Us in the defeat Of

believe that the Kaaawha valley, At least, viii

So far, however, Southern Missouri is to all
