No reference is needed TO the towns in Illinois
or Iowa, or Kentucky or Tennessee. The
position Of Fort Smith to Missouri has been
deerned important, as the scene Of operations
looking to tho invasion Of Missouri by Arkansas
troops There is good road, formerly used by
the Overland Mail Company, from Fort Smith to
Springfield; but the country is mainly poor, aud
will not afford support for much OF an army,
while tho fording Of streams, and the ferrying
required at Warsaw, before penetrating the
thicky settled districts win render the labor Of
invading Missouri extremely difficult. News
was received in 81. Louis, on the 18th, Of the
burning Of bridges on the North Missouri Rail
road, between tho Missouri River and Hudscn.
Tho bridges burned cross dry bottom land,
however, aud the largest WAS only 20 feet span.
The repairs can be finished In few days. The
sentiment Of the people Of the State is lnrgey
for the maintenance Of the Union. In many
places the Sscessionists, though few in number,
have srms belonging TO the State. and have
overswed their neighbors. Numbers OF Union
men have been driven out; but it is safe TO sny

MISCELLANEOUS.
From the philuddpltio An'sriran
The Conquest of Virginia.

Tn order 10 understand the operations Of
our own forces in Virginia, it is necessary
to look somewhat closely into the positions
and plans Of the enemy which thus far have
been very much neglected by our newspaper
critics Not approaching the systematic man
ner in which the rebel leaders had arranged
their lines and fortified their main points,
many have thought it was only necessary 70
make i rush at them in order to prove vlcto-
rious. We have ourselves hitherto relralned
from discussing the matter IN this connection
partly for prudential reasons, but chiefly be-
cause the ardor manifested by Jealous patrl-
ots might do good IS stimulating the cner-
pies Of all engaged in preparations, and could
not possibly do any harm.
Every thing, however IS now 50 Tar advanc-
Cd that there is no longer any reason to re-
frain from observing that the Administration
and all our commanding generals. are thor
& oughly advised Of the plans OF the rebels,
and they arc much more extensive, scientific
and formidable than those unaccustomed to
deal with military affairs might suppose. We
showed. on Wednesday, the manner in which
the main bodies Of the army were intended
to act upon the leading points of the enemy
bat there were some matters which we held
IN reserve, and now purpose to refer to.
It has genrally been supposed that the re-
hels at Harpcr's Ferry would evacuate with
out LATHE. and their preparations to de-
camp have been cited IN proof. It may turn
out 50. though we are dislnclined to believe
it. chiefly because there is at present no mil
itary reason why such a thing should take
place IF their retreat were endangered, the
evacuation would be natural, but as yet their
communications are all secure and open, and
their position IS we'll supported. The nam
body at Harper Ferry is supported on the
right BY the force at the Point of Rocks and
on the left BY the regiments at Shepardstown,
opposite Sharpsburg, and at the point oppo-
site to Williamsport. la fact, from the Point
of Rocks to Williamsport, there is continu-
Gus stretch Of rebel pickets and posts This
constitutes perfect line Of defence along the
south bank Of the Potomac and in all proba-
bility the enemy will be found in considerable
force and well posted and defended. 1t is to
break this line that Gen Patterson is now
preparing.
In order to do this, it has been generally
supposed that he would concentrate his whole
force upon the centre, and capture Harper
Ferry. That would be essentially part Of his
plan, but not necessarily his whole object, for
in that case the enemy would fall back upon
his second line Of defence, which extends
from Leesburg, on the east, to Wiliamsport

GRAVE SWEET MELODY We meet to

upto Him the oblaton Of holy affections. In
singing, We offer up this ohlation in unison.
1t is, then, q service in which every believer
i expected to unite. Hence the airs should
obviously be simple They should be emphat
ically expressive Of solemn, tender, and de-
vout emotion. However well adapted music
may hc to tho expression of other emotions,
# It fail here, It is a. best an impcrtincncc Un-
TO omit it entirely, and lift up our souls to
God in silence
And If this be 50. hy what name shall We
designate that service which is performed
merely as matter Of musical advertisement,
when the most solemn truths Of which the
mind can conceive are used for the frivolous
purpose of professional display Can that
be the worship Of God which ii enacted by
men and women hired from the thcater and
the opera house to regalc an audience
Of musical amateurs Can it bc pleasing to
God to exchange the oblation of holy affcc-
tions for mere sensual olation The Sa-
yionr, whom We worship, has said, Where
