The movement Of RosEscRANz in Western
is projected, doubtless, for the purpose
IF cutting his way through to the line CT ram
cad connecting that section with East len
l~essee, so as to shut up communication by the
nest direct route between tue army OF tie
and the Southwest feat which, II
accomplished, would DO much to IMPEDE Tue
progress of our military operations in Virginia
Then comes the threatened invasion OF ths
Mississippi valley by FEENoNT's division OF
forces in the Northwest, which will neeessl-
tate US to keep a PrOportiOnslly large army IN
Kentucky and Missouri, BY way of eounteraet-
anE raid he may attempt to make upon US.
This places the bulk Of our army, eft course,
upon the northern border Of the Confederaey'
IN The mean while a hsak movement will be
made along the coast, the preparations for
which, as now progressing, we have more than
once laid before the public. This expedition
will be Of a naval character, IS is HSpPosed, OF
from twenty FIVE to@Airty thousand 4aeH, pos
sibly more.
Thus, in a word, The enemy'S campaign will
consist 10 threatening the three points above
mentioned, with hopeless effort to penetrate
East Tennessee for the purpose we have ex-
pla:ned. The late defeats suffered by TYLER,
R-sENcRAEz and REYNOLDS, however, have
reduced the latter project to a mere fgnent Of
Federal Imagination. Gen. SYDNEY JOHN
sroN's present prospects in Kentucky leave no
roou 70 doubt that be will achieve brilliant
victories in that direction, If the enemy viii
oaly afford him an opportunity for engagement
BEAUREsARD and bis eompeer in arms, Gen.
JOSEPH Z. JOHNSTON, win stand with their IL
vincible legions like a rock Of adamsnt at
Manassas, if they do not establish winter
quarters in Washington and from the rapid
completion Of our coast defenses, we have rea-
son to believe that we are to have no more
bluDders, such as the Hatteras affair, with
which we were RECALLED some few weeks since.
Our glorious and God-favorsd cause has 50
far progressed with better success than the
most ssnguine patriot among us had hoped
and the present generation will live to see the
United States government, with its LIEcoLNr
like Persia with Der XERxEs, fl a chapter Of

extensive and we'll guarded, and are said tc
