A GUERRILLA WAR.-Now that the enemy has
plucked up courage to advance into the interior of
our country, we hope that no time will be lost in
organizing guerrilla companies and regiments of
flying horsemen, to be provided with the best
arms, for the purpose of harassng the Hessians
and cutting off their trains.
We cannot rely solely upon meeting his over
whemng numbers upon fair field. We must cut
him off in DETAIL if possible. Our people under
stand the country and can in many cases, choose
their own ground. In the defles of the mountains,
and from the depths of our valleys, we must
pounce upon the thieving hordes. If, by reason of
their vast numbers we cannot meet them al.
ways in front, we can hang upon their rear
and destroy their trains thus cutting off their sup
plies. We can give them a repetition of the
French campaign in the Tyrol, where the unseen
marksmen wasted the ranks of the invader, and
even women and children rolled down rocks upon
them Or, like the flying Cossacks in the Russian
war, our splendid horsemen can dash upon them
and daily waste their ranks. This mode of war
fare will fill the Yankees with greater dread than
the idea of having to meet us in pitched battles
where they know their advantage. And besides,
it is the only warfare we can wage constantly
Whilst our recent recruits are being armed and
drilled, the Virginia horsemen, already the terror
of the Hessians, should be engaged in making
constant forays upon them. We shonld make
their invasion as precarous and uncomfortable as
possible They are for the most part ruf1ans and
marauders, and scarcely entitled to be dealt with
upon the terms that govern civilized warfare. Let
them know that they take their lives in their hands
and will be shot at wherever they appear. We
must inaugurate guerrilla war OF the most de
structive kind, to be waged against them.

NORTHERN VIEW OF LIEooLN's MEssAGE-The
recent special message of the President transmit.
ted to Congress, adopting unmistakably the plat
form Of prospective emancipation and slavery con-
scription, is eliciting much and varied comment.
When specifically considered, it conveys rather
mystical and uuimportant Specification; but a
close and careful analysis of its prominent features
precluded any basis for an ambiguous or equvocal
Interpretation. 90 .
The radical Abolitonists adopt it with pleasing
gusto, notwithstanding it subjects them to the ridi
culous inconsistency of recognizing slaves as pro-
perty, for which compensation should be made
from the public treasury. The document contains
an unfortunate semi acknowledgment that the
Federal Government may, in the future, find it oh
hgatory to recognize a Southern Confederacy, so
far as to the more remote or cotton States. He
urges Congress to anticipate, by speedy legisla-
tion, the latent purpose of any of the border or
central States to inaugurate an emancipation po-
lcy, by which the more Southern States would be
precuded from any hope of their cooperation or
affiiation. 4 This indirect admission is in direct
conflict with the position always assumed by Sec
retary Seward in his foreign correspondence,
when he takes the ground that no two Confedera-
cies can exist on this Continent.
We cannot shut our eyes against the conviction
that the President if necessary in the further pro-
secution of the against rebellion, is prepared
to adopt any means which he may deem indis-
pensable." He may deem it indispensable to go
the Abolition doctrine to its full extent.

MOVEMENTS AND SINTENTIeNs OF THE ENEMY
An idea Of the enemys movements and intentions
may be formed by the following explanations.
which may be understood by the reader II heywi1
look ON the map of Tennessee and Ncrth Aaba-
ma, which have become the present seat Of war.
The enemy's approaches may be said to consist at
Mississippi from Cairo; second, BY the Tennessee
river; third, from Nashville on the Cumberland
and fourth, from Columbus, KY, and Paris, Tenn,
where large body Of Federals are held 70 reserve
for reinforcements. The column on the Tennessee
river has conceprated principally at Savannah, on
the east side of the river, their numbers being
timated at from thirty to fifty thousand and which
it will be seen is nearly on q line with Memphis.
Forty.five miles from Savannah, in . sonth-
wardly direction, ois the mouth of Yellow creek,
which is eighteen miles nearly due west from
Corinth,. Miss, the junction Of the Memphis and
Charleston and the Mobile and OhiS Railroads. It
being all important to the eneiny to obtain poses

demonstrations on Memphis he is now cutnng q

4 nessee, to Tuscnmba, which is-only four milesa
distant by q branch from the Charleston road.
There is a splendid bridge over the Tennessee ct
I Florence, which could be destroyed in case an

portion OF It, might also advance 10 Ffot6Hce,l

| the old military road made by Jackson IN the

battle must therefore be fought between Corinth
and Jackson Tenn, and between the Tennessee
| and Mississippi rivers.
Our country is thoroughly aroused to the i'm

Letter from "Occasional."

WASHINGTON, Feb, 10, ls62.-After somewhat
careful consultation with many leading men, rep
resenting loyal constituencies, North and South Of
heretofore differing sentiments, have come to the
conclusion that the only policy to be pursued when
our arms have efectuay conquered the Rebels Is to
leave the great question of governing the Southern
States to the Union men of such States, assisted
by the Federal authority, and sustained, wherever
necessary, by Federal bayonets. AS Andrew
Johnston remarked yesterday, sour victory in Ten.
nessee will not be complete antil we have taken
Nashville" Nashville is the capital of Tennessee.
There the Legislature sits, there false Governor
presdes over people he has betrayed, and there
the Union flag must be unfurled, the Union men
entrenched /; and from there the treacherous and
cruel prosecutors must be expelled. We can turn
back upon the Rebels with their State Rights doc
trine when our Union friends in the South capture
the State sovereignties, andn the name equally of
State and Federal authority, resume the control
which has been violently usurped.
There will be little danger in trusting the future
destines of the South to the welltried Union men.
Deep and implacable as is the hatred entertained
for southern traitors by Northern men it is nothing
to the feeling against those traitors OF such patri-
OTIS as johnson, Brownow and Maynard. These
| latter have long known that if they had been
taken by jeff Davis, their lives or liberties would
have been instantly forfeited. They have felt the
keenest pangs OF Secession injustice, and no appre-
| hension need be entertained that they will ever
permit the pro-sayery leaders to resume their old
ascendancy No false magnanimity will inspire
! them to forgive the wrongs done to their country
by such traitors as Sideil, Mason, lsham G. Harris
| Nicholson, Pillow John Bell and Brecknridge.
One of the great perils that will hereafter sur
round the Union cause, will be the abiect appeals
for forgiveness and mercy of those Who. have
plunged our country into this civil war;, No suct
invocatons, however, should prevent the, con.
dign punishment of these guilty men. Let the
innocent, who have been deluded or mised, ant
| forced into treason, be freely pardoned attel
renewing their covenant to the Constitution, bul
the leaders must be chastsed Their judges, their
Jurors and their execuoneers will, by happy anf
| poetic justice, be the Union heroes of the south
writing, there is hardly dissenting voice to ths
propriety and policy Of giving them the reins afte
the rebellion is crushed, and Of making them ire
sistible with the aid of the Federal authority AM
Federal army. But, in order make this NOR
effective such laws must be passed as will enabl
them to deprive the Rebels Of all legal rights, ir
cuding that of suffrage and holding property.

themselves and the Administration when assailed.
1t were well | think, if our own correspondent with
the English system in making the Cabinet Minis
ters responsible to q vote of the House. At pre-
sent, they are Irresponsible, nearly so. The
President should also be charged with less responsi
bility. .r
The war now in progress may be fraught with
calanitiea which will result in important organic
changes. Had it gone on from triumph to triumph,
had we achieved our independence without the re-
verses which have happened, peace would have
found us with constitution inadequate to the ext
gencies Of permanent national existence, but
which, by virtue Of the fact that had carried us
through the war, would have been insisted on and
maintained. l not only find consolation in defeats,
but am almost inclined to welcome them as posi-
tive blessings.
There are no Affections so heavy that they can
not be borne by nation which has proud future
in prospect. Our trials are great, but CLEANS Of
hope are held out to u.s. For example, we find
the abolition correspondent of an abolition New
York paper, writing in the midst Of the abolition
society in England, and telling; his abolition en-
ployer that the sympathies Of the people in that
land, and especially of those who have influence,
>
are all in favor of the South. The English nobility
and clergy fear the restoration of the Union, for
therein they see the exaltation Of Democracy and
the encouragement of Radcalism the world over.
Hence the recent defeats which the South has aus.
tanned, are stirring them up to sence of the
necessity for timely Interference. Moreover, we
have good news from source much nearer home.
Ex.Gov Pratt has written letter to the Secretary
of War to-day, that if we will hold out month
longer-say to the middle of Apr--the Lincoln
concern will fall to pieces under its own debt.
am told that Mr.. Benjamin slapped the bearer of
this letter on the back, and told him that was the
best news he had heard in long time. Taught
by the past not to place much faith in anything
but our own strength, we may yet avail ourselves
of all such crumbs of comfort as these just given
Gossips say that Gen. Randolph will decline the
post of Secretary of War. They also say that the
President will go to the army in Tennessee as soon
as Congress adjourns, which many members are
anxious to do as soon as possible. Nothing would
have finer effect upon the country than the Pres
ident's taking the field. New life and vigor would
be infused new hope would revive and new con
fidence. The movement of troops in this vicinity
is very active. Busy and bloody days are at hand

Mr. Editor look upon the simple, honest faces
and the stout forms of the mountaineers as they
march along our streets, and lake courage. Clad
in their daily garb, without uniforms, arms or
equipments, they pass on to the camp of instruc-
tion-there to be transformed into soldiers. They
have hunted deer, and now they are to hunt Yam
KEGS. They have fought =" varmints," and now
they are to fight devils. A thousand of them left
this morning to join Gen. Magruder, under whose
active system they will soon learn the art of arms
So thoroughly winnowed by the Captains of
volunteers is the old State, that it is not to be
wondered at if many of her, militia regiments,
called out by the late levy, produce only cor
poral's guard. In Richmond, the getters up of
companies have been especially active. Every
other house seems to have been turned into o re-
cruiting office, Nevertheless, we have sent several
hundred militia out to the Fair Grounds, which
have lately become as interesting as they were
last spring. The President rode out twice this
week to look at the citizen sodiery.
Some of the companies out at these Grounds are
made up almost entirely of substitutes, and a
greater set of rapscallions never drew the breath
of life. They are hard set of cases to look
upon and hard to hold. One of them, the other
day, was parading around without any Shirt hat
or shoes, with his coat in ribbands, DOING what do
you suppose? Why, cursng the militia.p The
other night, seventy.fve of Marmaduke Johnson's
company got through hole in the fence and ran
off to town, and Capt Greenlee Davidson has the
town filled with posters advertising reward of
$25 piece for dozen or more deserters. Hence
it is that you encounter on every square squad of
soldiers looking out for these scamps. Not long
ago, I saw party with drawn swords chasing a
fellow down Main street, to the great terror of the
ladies, the great qualification of the Boys and ne
groes, and the great amusement of the fellow
himself, who was soon caught, and came laughing
up the street if he thought the whole thing was
an excellent joke.
An important debate has been going on in Con
gress relative to the propriety of admitting Cabi
net officers to seat in the House, with the privi
