The Campaign I'm yfrginia-The Back
bono OF the Rebellion.
Jefferson Davis and his rebelIious ConTede-
rates are playing the desperate game of win
ming or losing all upon a single hazard of the
die. They have been and still are conoen-
trating all their available forces and resources
in Eastern Virginia, and along line of over
three hundred miles of military positions and
stations, extending from Norfolk northweseerly
to Richmond, and from that point northward
to Harper's Ferry. From this general disposi
ton Of their army, the rebels are prepared to
move forward upon Washington, or 10 fall
back upon Richmond, as the occasion may ia
vite or require.
we cannot safely assume that they have
ceased to menace Washington until they shall
have been expelled from Harper's Ferry, aud
driven south Of the Manassas Junction. Bat, on
the other hand, the occupation of those two i'm
poItant strategical positions by our Union
forces will not only remove all danger of o
hostile descent upon Washington, but will open
our way for an onward march upon Richmond
Hence the busy preparations of the rebels
for stout defence Of their position at Harpsr's
Ferry, and the powerful combinations of Gen
Scott for their removal. 1t is apparent, too,
from the careful and deliberate NOV sments of
our army columns under Generals McClelland,
Patterson and Cadwallader towards the point
in question, that General Scott attaches the very
highest Importance to this particular enter
prise.
We rely upon his superior knowledge, skul
and sagacity, and we feel assured of the sue
| cess Of his combinations While closing around
the enemy al Harper's Ferry with force CON-
potent to compel their evacuation Of it, or their
population without battle, by simply cutting
off their provisions, our heavy bodies OF troops
within striking distance Of Manassas Junction
| and Norfolk compel the rebels to maintain a
strong dt fensivs force at each of those places
Thus, we cannot believe that the rebel force ia
and around Harper's Ferry exceeds ten
thousand effective men; but granting them
fifteen thousand, the federal columns of thirty
thousand approaching them from various
points, in the simple extension of their
lines in the rear Of the Ferry, from
river to river, will soon prove that
those impregnable mountain cliffs ere uutena
BILE by any number Of rlded cannon, if cut OF
from the indispensable ammunition Of bread,
beef and bacon.
We hope, then, that the late disgrace
fully managed affair at Big Bethel will
very soon be forgotten in the triumphant
Development at Harper's Ferry Of those ex-
tensive combinations, aiming at the complete
expulsion of Davis and his Confederate con-
spirators, and their armies from Virginia.
With our occupation Of Harper's Ferry, all
that section of the State coerced into this re-
| bellicn will rebound into loyalty to the Union,
and the smouldering elements of secession in
| Maryland will be finally extinguiahed Wash
ington will have no enemy in the rear, and the
federal corps d'armee from the North, moving
| down upon Manassas Junction, will CO npsl its
evacuation by Beauregard, for fear of being
hemmed in on the other side BY our forces from
Alexandria
Thus driven back upon Richmond, the rebels
will leave the field open in their rear for the
concentration of our troops north of that point
into q solid, onward column Of eighty thousand
men, while General Butler in the east, with
twenty-five thousand, is working his way up
James river from Fortress Monroe. Tnus, OK
