A Rebel View Of the Situation.
Tidings from Western Virginia leave no
room to doubt the brilliant successes of our
arms in that menaced region. General Lee
| has routed the army under the famous Rose
Grams with great slaughter, and if reports are
true, the battle at Big Springs was COM
| plete and important victory. General Rose
Grams himself is reported to have been
mortally wounded. At Cheat Mountain, our
heroic jackson, with two thousand five
hundred Georgians, met and put TO fight,
with heavy loss, five thousand Lincolnites
| under General Reynolds. Our loss was but
small. General jackson is adding new luster
to name that is the synonym of daring and
honor. Long may the Power above preserve
| the Jacksons of the South.
The news from Kentucky is Of the most
encouraging character The sway of her
| Crittendens, Andersons and her tory Legis-
lature is doomed. Kentuckisns themselves
are rising up to redeem the State from the
thralldom of anarchy and despotism. Long
deceived, and slow to move, her true.hearted
and stout sons will show at last the tyrant
of the North that he has walked up a lion
that will pounce upon his cowardly minions
and scatter them as so many flocks of fright
ened wolves. The whole State is in blaze,
and everywhere they are flocking to the
standard of those true heroes of the South,

In Missouri our cause is progressing as
finely as the most sanguine could hope for.
Upon every field the brave Missourians have
gloriously triumphed over the Hessans.
Lexington, Springfield and Carthage are
proud monuments of the invincible arms of
the South. The two thousand killed at Oak
Hill by our glorious band of Arkansians,
Louisianians and Missourians, led by the in
domitable Ben McCulloch, and the great and
4r;rynrbont al ofT T.av raoultiucf in
the killing and capturing of five thousand
Lincolnites, the taking of six thousand stand
Of arms, twenty cannon, $250,00O of specie,
and mules, horses, wagons, provisions, and
ammunition, without Dumber, are victories
which are terribly felt by the enemy, and the
legitimate results of which are uniting the
MissoUrians almost as one man, and bringing
them in swarms to the standards of the con-
quering heroes. A few more such victories
and Missouri will be free.
The star of the South is in the ascendant
every. where. In every battle field victory
perches upon our triumphant flag, We only
need a successful onUdTd movement on the
Potomac to exhibit to the world successive
train of crushing victories unparalleled in
history. Another Manassas affair would give
TO our arms q prestige, and shed around our
flag halo of martial glory which would at
once command the admiration and respect of
all nations place our independence beyond
the possibility of a doubt, and secure our
immediate recognition by foreign govern
ments. Every day we are in receipt Of intel
hgence indicating the probability of an early
| engagement between the hostile forces on
the Potomac. It can not come too soon. We
have an abiding faith that our brave boys 10
| Virginia will triumph as signally when it
| does come as they did at Manassas.
This will be the most important battle of
the whole campaign. The flower OF the
army is on the Potomac. 1t is the grand
nucleus around which has gathered the grand
army of the North. Their demigod, McCel-
Ian, is also there to command. If we rout
them on the Potomac, as we will do and
drive them out of Washington, as we can do,
Maryland will be delivered, and a whole
some CONSERVATION will pervade the North
ern mind, that can not fail to have a salutary
effect in bringing the masses to their senses.
Having been whipped everywhere else, and
finally driven from their own boasted strong
hold, their whole armed hordes having be
come disorganized, demoralzed, cowed and
beaten from Philadelphia to st. Louis, the
authorities of the North will be very glad to
capiLulate on terms of peace, and thus the
war will be ended.
We believe that events of portentous
| character are eliminating rapidly upon the
| shores of the Potomac. Our wise President,
| our sagacious Generals and our gallant boys
there are all anxious for the contest Let it
come, say we. While we are not inclined to
hurry up movements about which we are
totally ignorant; while we are disposed to
rely implicitly upon the wisdom of the Presi-
dent and commanding Generals, and sur
render to them the entire management of the
military policy of the country, yet we can
not fail to perceive an irrepressible restless
ness pervading the minds of our people, both
| in the ranks and in civil pursuits, for an ad-
vance upon Washington. Never before, it
seems to us, was an occasion so ripe for such
a movement. Every thing seems to point to
it and invite it, and the opportunity once
lost may not be presented again. We shall
wait with patience and confidence the action
OF our army on the Potomac.
