our guns, evidently Drawing the fire of our sbarr.
shooters. All the pieces had been repeatedly
leveled upon him, but without effect. IOhv
ne came ontside as usual, waving his hat. when
two balls went whizzing toward him, but al
short. The rebel continued his observations
Meanwhile messenger was dispatched for
certain telescope target rife known to be mtfe

and one Of his officers, accompanied by two Of
his men, walked ont to see t. resul. as ue

designated, the seven-footer was still there. when
the owner of the rife drew up at arm 5 Length.
and the moment the muzzlo fell SO as to cover
his heart the har-trlgger was touched, and The
haunting foe fell without struggle i ssr.

The Evacuation of Yorktown.

The great battle which was to come off at
Yorktown has been indefinitely postponed, not
80 much Oh account Of the weather, as on &C.
count of the settled opinion Of the rebels that
unless they evacuated they would not be able to
.eave at all 1t seems by our dispatches that
on "Wednesday of last week, Gen. Lee and jeff.
Davis determined to abandon the rebel defenses
ut Yorktown, deemine them untenable in face
of the formidable preparations made by Gen.
Mcclellan to assail them. The rebels, with the
exception of whisky drinking Magruder, were
agreed in this opinion, and on Thursday the
order was made. 1t must, however, have been
carried out very quietly, as it seems that Gen.
Mcclellan had no hint of it until Saturday
night or Sunday morning. The rebels lett their
heavy guns, and large quantities of ordnance
stores. The inhabitants of Yorktown, except
one negro, departed with the rebel army
How important an effect this movement of
the rebels will have upon the fortune of the
war, 1t is quite too soon yet to judge. Aretreat
OF an enemy is always to be judged by its re-
suits, and We hope to chronicle the best results
from this. Mcclellan announces that he is Wig
orously pursuing the enemy, and that he will
drive him to the wall. If the rebels have not
TOO much the start OF him, he will unquestion-
ably overtakc them, and defeat and annihilate
them, before they can get behind new entrench-
ments, or form another g base of operations )"
and this is just the business, doubtless, that he
has In hand
it is not worth while to speculate upon what
the rebels will do, only it is pretty safe to say
that they will not fight Immediately unless they
are compelled to. If they are not overtaken by
Mcclellan, we suspect they will cross the James
river and retire South, hoping to prolong the
war by retiring in front of our army, and COM
polling it to follow them into the interior, and
away from means OF ready transportation. But
this strategy cannot now avail them. 1t NAV
lengthen out their death struggle, but it will not
save them. They must now abandon Virginia,
as it will be idle for them to think of fighting
elsewhere after having abandon ed their strong
position at Yorktown. The Stars and Stripes
will be in Richmond in few days, and the
Confederate Capital will be on its travels The
rebellion is waning, and if not on its last legs,
As on its travelling legs. The rebel armies are
retreatiug before Mcclellan in the East and
Haleck in the West, and these Generals will
give them, we trust, no rest for the soles of
their feet, until the rebellion is thoroughly
crushed.

The Spirit Of the Southern Press.

The Richmond Despatch after comforting it.
self over the defeats suffered by the confederate
arms, and referring to some instance in history
where people was reduced to greater straits than
rebeldom is now in, INDUCES its hopefulness in
the following style:
Our men are a1cays able to beat him on a fair
feu, and ave think 1t much TO be regretted that
they are not o/tener aAowed TO attack Nothing
so much keeps up the spirits of the men as acting
on the ofensiUe. But even making allowances
for the depressing effect always consequent upon
steady continuance on the defensive, we have
always maintained the high character with
which we went into the war.
Our position, then, may be inconuenient but
it rs neither bad, nor ought to be disheartening.
Tho same paper dethrones Cotton in this easy
way;
We are glad to believe, from all the informa-
ton that reaches us, that King Cotton in order
to make his dynasty more permanent, will abd-
cate the throne tor u time in favor Of Corn
Wheat and Potatoes
When the war is over, our planters can again
return to their former occupation, ana King
Cotton resume his potent and benefcent sway
But, until then, he must 90 into retirement, and
il necessary, be burned for the good of his coun
try. The consolation in burning him, if that be
required will be that his enemies will perish
upon his funeral pyre. We shall let them see
that Cotton is not only our King but theirs, and
if he falls, he will fall like Samson, and pu Il
down the Philistines in Common ruin.
The Petersburg Erpress says it has got tired
of the word % impregnabe.' 1t says
But how many of our so-called impregna-
BILE forts have successfully resisted an attack :?
We are sick of the word " impregnable," and
hope it will never again be paraded in descrip.
tOns of our delences, for hitherto it has served
only to deceive US. There is only one fortress
in the world to which it is truly applicable, and
that is Gibralter."
1t also adds, d" we have been tutoring our
mind of late to the contemplation of disappoint
ment." 1t ascribes our victories to our gum
boats, and hopes to retrieve the waning fortune
of the Confederacy, by summer and fall cam
paign in the Northern States.
The Dispatch iutmates that the South have
lost ncarly everything but their honor If that
is true they must be indeed in strait. They
can comfort themselves, however, that nobody
will desire to cofscate that. Southern "honor'
is commodity that nobody but Souherners
would think of mentioning
The Dispatch says the following respecting
tho persecution of Union men in East Tennes-
sec
Our accounts from East Tennessee repre-
sent that the conscrption act has occasioned an
intense commotlon among the mk-and- water
patriots OF Fest Tennessee. Whole counties are
rising up and moving toward Kentucky. Such
is the harvest that springs from the teachings of
that double dyed traitor (wcll called Appel
lyon y Brownlow. Gen. Smith is doing what he
can to arrest the stampede but, as n CORES

Com. Dupont has informed the War Depart
ment that the federal steamer, the Santiago de
Cuba, Commander Ridglcy had captured the
rebel steamer Isabel with heavy cargo of En-
field rifles. The Santiago de Cuba also discov-
cred and chased the Nashville supposed to have
arms on board, but she proved to be too swift for
the federal steamer. This federal steamer also
captured rebel schooner from Charleston laden
with cotton, and two outward bound schooners
with assorted cargoes for the Southern market.
