identical hey ond shadow Of doubt. The i'll
concealed bitterness with which their leaders
have Of late referred to Union sentiments IN
North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee, and
the general opprobium thrown upon the border
state troops hy those Of the extreme South, at
test the fact that the rebels are weary Of fight
ing on territory in which there is a division of
public opinion, and where local prejudces deny
them that full ard hearty support which their
cause requires.

that the Shareholders, with their property, will
flock to the South when this plan is promul-
gated, and concentrate on a small territory that
large population and strong government, which
would be small and powerloss whom scattered
over large one; and that the North will assent
to tho independence Of few states, while IT
will fight Justify over tho present large redac-
tion Of tho Union.
This is all excellent logic, but inconclusiye-
very. The power that can drive the rebels
within the borders Of the Cult States, can there
maintain its constitution and laws, or people
these States with legal citilong who WI. The
cotton States, too, will hardly dare .rnLict,
alone, which the South, unileG Ia. found beyond
its power. The schemes g. tho iCJel President,

The white feather message Of JEFFERSON
DAVIS has occasioned surprise, Not that the
rebels are staggering under the heavy blowsre.
oeived not that we did not expect an early
collapse of their cause but We Of the North
have regarded the late victories only as the
iorerunners Of their overwhelming defeat, and
have not calculated upon 80 early withdrawal
Of the enemy. We were Just getting ready TO
give them thorough thrashing, whom
down gos their flag. And, least Of all, did We
expect 80 candid an admission Of defeat, from a
source proverbially addicted to bomIastic false
hood. The willy leader of traitors commences
his message with the words Of truth, admitting
that events have demonstrated that the Gov
eminent has attempted more than it has had
power TO achieve" IL the message had stopped
here, II would have seemed forgery and hum
bug, but its subsequent false embellishments Of
rebel Affairs stamp 1t genuine.
And what docs 1t mean 1t means that JEFF
DAVIS & Co. are about to abandon the half
loyal border states of Virginia, North Carolina
Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, and Arksusas,
and to concentrate themselves for more dss-
psrats defence within smaller tsrritory. 1t ia

well as the men employed en- the train, escaped
without the slightest injury. The engineer and

The evacuation OF Columbus, without loss o.!
life, is more CHEERING, although lesl intensely
interesting, than If the place had been invested
by our troops and calamity takon, after a hard
hght. That victory is truly great, which, like
the present, sacrifices no troops or material but
which accompanies, sclthcless. all that a muir
jerous battle could effect. The thanking move
ments Of our troops are now gaining two OF
three surenders TO each capture, and
it is quite probable, as may be in
teued by our comments upon JErr. DAVIS,
message, that the evacuation Of CJlumbus ia TO
be followed by that Of Manassas, and a general
abAndc nment of the Border States
