The most reliable news from Columbus. Ken.
tueky, confirm the reports that Polk and Pillow
are receiving large reiniorcements of rebel troops
from below, and that their strength must not be
underrated. Atleaat twenty eight thousand troops
are q that point and the daily accessions of artl

dictate clearly their strategy, the same which SO
far has been so successfully carried out. That
strategy is to keep the army Of the Mississippi, or
at least the main portion Of it, actively employed
in Missouri running after Price and his subordinate
generals. EsS&fS *
This prevents them from descending the Missis-
sippi and carrying the war into Africa, at the same
time giving to the rebels of Tennessee, Arkansas
Mississippi and Louisiana that all important mill.
tary advantage, time. They want time TO fortify,
to cast cannon, to raise money, to concentrate
their forces, ana also to discipline them, all OF
which they are gaining BY these diversions OF Gen.
Il may be safely. said that Gen. Price has done
far more for the Southwestern rebel cause than
all their other generals combined. This view is
fully corroborated by the rebel press Of Memphis
and Vicksburg. .., -
The importance, hence, of an early and very
heavy movement southwark, by the Mississippi,
cannot be over estimated by the Administration
When we take into consideration and calculation
the immense preponderance of the wealth and
commerce of the Southernwsstern States border
ing on the Mississippi river, as compared with that
Of the seacoast slave States and their internal i'm
sportance to the Union, it must be conceded that
their reduction to loyalty would conduce far more
quickly to the restoration Of the Union than that of
the seacoast States.
Y The great West demands the speedy opening Of
the Mississippi river if the Federal Government is
able to do it, and she is able, if proper distri-
button of the forces is made. ''.a4'
Let politicians say what they please, the Missis-
sippi river and its uncontrolled navigation to the
Baiize is the great key to the prosperitysof the
whole country, and it must be opened. 7rs
The greatest and best statesmen Of America
have believed and taught that the Union, or the
Federal Government, was the common agent and
creature Of the States. A. Lincoln, LII D., wiser
than all who lived before him. teaches that States
may be annihilated, mutilated or carved out by
the Federal Government rs. SEs.F '@71 .F-sy|f
