ssg- The news Of the capture of Fort
Henry and victory at Roanoke Island was
received with great satisfaction by all save
a few who sympathize with the rebels,
whose visages somewhat elongated and
an occasional expression of disgust for
the United States Government and those
who administer it, betrayed the true SEN
timents of their hearts The recent vic
tories of the Federal troops in Kentucky
and North Carolina, we look upon as pre-
cursor to what may be looked for in quick
succession, through the length and breadth
