~ Cumberland Gap, likely soon to be-
come the scene of a severe struggle, is sit
uated about ten miles from Cumberland Ford,
in Tennessee, and has been celebrated for a
century as great depression in the mountain
ridge which tiav rses the continent from New
Hampshire to North Alabama. Through
this gap, very similar in appearance and char
acteristic to the South Pass in the Rocky
Mountains, formerly the enigrants from Vir-

The Wa To be Short.

1t is stated that Gen. Mcclellan says in
private what he did in public before the Phil
adelphia committee the war will be
short one. This is evidently his strong con-
yicton. He does not believe the slave States
can long hold out after we are ready to pur-
sue an active policy. One great success this
fall he believes would shake the rebel confed-
eracy to its very centre. 1t is very encour-
aeing fact that the commander of our armies
entertains these views, for he probably better
understands the power of the enemy than
any other man north of Mason and Dixon's.
If he is right the war will probably end be-
fore next year at this time-and possibly be-
fore next spring.
