From the Raltimoro.American.l

The foot that the Confederates are pretty
well informed, by means of the traitors
ON I'LL sides, of the movements of the Gov
ernmeut, is of little advantage in dispell-
their fears. The information appears to
turn back no exhibition of force, to thwart
no preparation for their overthrow, be-
cause, let them learn ever SO much, they
are powerless to defeat any purposes of
Government. And so, day by day, the
iron network approaches closer which Is
at last to render them helpless, to defeat
all the well considered projects which have
commanded their attention for so many
years. Nolonger talking of the invasion
of Maryland, of an advance on Philadel-
phin, or Cinciuuati, or Louisville, or st.
Louis, they now depair of protecting even
Memphis; whilst they have learned by whnt
has taken place at Beaufort that the reduc-
ton of the other cities on the coast is
merely n question now at months, possibly
of weeks.
Well, it will all come around right Mt
last for there is that in the signs of the
times which points to permanent peace
when the struggle is over. No longer shall
we find insoIent aud hot.headed dema-
gogues on the floor of Congress, keeping
the nation in tremor with their threats of
Disunion to enable them to achieve sDc-
cess in base schemes for partyi and that
prosperity which has been compromised in
a thousand forms by the financial quackery
born of party projects, will be fixed on
permanent basis when we find that we
really have Government strong enough
to protect the rights and interests of all
sections and of every class. When we
think of the dsplorable panics, the many
revnlsions, the disasters which have in
past years been caught by the infamous
schemes set on foot by few demagogues
to serve their own purposes, when we know
how mere uncertainty OF oar stability has
injured our prosperity, we look hereafter TO
the triumph of a policy which Is to bear
in MUD American interests, which is to
frown down, forever, needless coucessions
to foreign iusolence. The experience
through which We are passing will not
then baYe been forced upon us in vain.

We are indebted to friend in the city
for the reading of letter from Christian
County, Kentucky-dated Nov. 18th. Our
readears will recollect that the rebels are
in possession Of that part of Kentucky and
that some three Thousand Mississippi and
Louisiana troops are encamped in Chris
tian County. This makes correspondence
very difficult, and of course all letters that
reach Wheeling or elsewhere this side the
rebel lines, have to be struggled through.
The letter before us is ., full blooded union
one, written by very intelligent lady, and
she gives quite minute particulars of what
the people say. both rebel and union folks.
1t appears that the loyal people arein good
heart. They believe in good time com
ing They believe also that twill be along
soon. The lady writes that "the rebels are
expecting an attack daily, aud2fortifying
positions on the different roads. Theyare
also receiving endorsements daily. One
comfort is reinforcing here only weakens
other points.n believe many of these
achievements ran from Columbus, for l
don't doubt myself Columbus being in the
hands Of the Federals. There has been
terrible battle there, but we cannot get
particulnrs.p There has been great ex-
element here amongst the troops, and no
