The nrnrernrd KhIstle.

Within the last few days two or three
Rebel plans for the Summer and Fall
campaign, including general invasion of
the North, capture Of the Capital, etc,
etc, have appeared 10 our columns. That
these speculations have been, and are now
indulged in by the rebels, there is no
doubt but they are nevertheless, with
yigor and promptness on the part of the
Government, as little likely to happen, as
the falling Of the stars. 1t is mere
piece of braggadocia INDUCED in to keep
up the sinking spirits of the Confedera-
ey; tits scbool-boy's graveyard whistle,
to inspire fresh courage in despsiring
bosoms. Our own opinion is that at no
time have the fortunes Of the-JOHfedera-
cy, so called, been so gloomy as now.
The guerrilla ratiling Of gongs did not
succeed in bringing over Kentucky en-
masss, as was hoped and anticipated, into
the rebellion, and in this State it has met
with no better success. On the contrary
we have no doubt that hundreds of active,
substantial loyal men have enlisted in the
Federal service in these two States, with
in the last two weeks who never would
have taken up arms in other circum-
stances. In spite of the violent language
of the rebels, it is easy to see that their
violence is the language Of despair rather
than Of confidence. A gentleman Of
truth, and great sagacity, told us the
other day that he had observed in con-
versing with well-inlormed rebels in the
interior Of this State, they had no conf
dence in the ability of the Oonfederacy
to protect them, and said they were hope
lessly ruined They said that while the
guerrillas could every now and then de-
strvy train, or capture few soldiers at
a dash, still they always had to run when
the Federal forces came up, and that
such war was impoverishing the South,
and running their property. The great
enthusiasm shown in the North in re-
Spouse to the Presidents call for 100000
men, has also greatly alarmed them, and
they now begin to feel that as soon as
the loyal States go to work in earnest the
rebellion will lrfelled at the first blow
We do not say these things to inspire the
loyal people with an overweening conf
dence; we mean just the contrary. We
wish to stimulate them TO rise en- 8aasss and
strike one tremendous and heavy blow
between the eyes of the rebellion, an
irresistible staggering, fatal blow. In
stead of 100000 more men let the Gov
eminent by all means call for two or three
times that number; and henceforlh be
terribly in earnest There should be no
more resting spells The spasmodiC
throe Of treason will be over in a few
weeks, and then let us pour our invinci-
BILE .legions into every portion of the
South; giving. every seeded State at least
100000 soldiers, and throwing heavy
force into Maryland, Kentucky and Mis-
souri,.

The Richmond Enquirer says that in
the late battles before that city, an iron
clad railroad battery performed promi-
nent part. II does not describe il, for
fear Of giving aid and comfort" 10 the
enemy, but merely says il is an iron.cla
battery mounted on seven sets of wheels,
and carrying one large rided gun. The
whole machine is propelled by an ordi
nary locomotive. Lieutenant Barry and
fourteen men commanded her On Sun
day morning it started from Fair Oaks,
and little after twelve arrived near Say
ages house, seven miles from Richmond.
IL first engaged the battery, the first gun
from which it had killed Gen. Griffith Of
Mississippi, and soon silenced it. It's
second shell, thrown into field in front
OF Sayage's house, killed and wounded
one hundred and thirty horses. Since
that battle, there being no enemy near
the railroad line, the battery has seen
no service

AsInguIar Fact.

In recent letter, Hon. RoBERT j.
WALKER, late of Mississippi, and Elk Sec
rotary Of the Treasury, makes the follow
ing statement which will astonish great
many persons: From long residence in
the South, and from having trayersed every
Southern State, know it to be true, that
cotton is raised there most exten sively,
aud proftably by Observation-Disclosures, and
upon farms using exclusively white labor.
In Texas especially this is great truth;
nor is there doubt that skilled, educa-
ted, perseyeriDg and energetic free labor
engaged voluntarily for wages for its own
use, would in time, especially when aid
ed by improved culture and machinery
produce much larger crops, and better
cotton than is now raised by the forced
and ignoraHt labor of slaves, and at
much cheaper rate, at far greater profit,
than any crop now produced in the
North" All win concede that The testi-
mony Of an observer so shrewd and ex-
perienoed as Mr.. WALKEE is worthy Of
all eredence on the points to which it per-
tains be is both competent and audible
as witness in this case A serious re-
Election is very naturally suggested by
these statements to-wit: if cotton can
be better or even as well raised by white
labor as il has been by slave labor, and
if the rebels by their obstinate adher-
ence to a sinking and desperate cause con
tinue to make slave labor more and more
insecure, will not the speedy death Of
the slave system be inevitably brought
about? We merely state what every in
telligent man must recognize as morally
certain to happen in less than twelve
months, unless this insane crusade of
the South against the Union be stopped
Immediately. Every consideration of
self-interest appeals loudly to rebelious
shareholders to desist from their unholy
conspiracy, which involves the inevita-
BILE ruin of the system in which all their
thoughts and prejudiees seem centred.

At the recent sale Of negroes in Ken
lucky two likely young negro men
brought less than $500 each. Eighteen
months ago they would have probably
brought over $1,000 readily, and now
they sell for little more han good hands
hired for two years ago Here is a strik-
ing illustration Of the effect of the rebel
lion upon slavery. Once bring down the
value of slaves 10 that standard, and
emancipation will inevitably follow. For
if a good negro be worth no more than
$500, with the risk Of death or running
oil, he is worthless, Does il not seem as

The situation in na-, Tennessee.

From the Knoxville Register, June a.
During the past week the enemy, who
cntcrted East Tennessee At Wilson's
Gap in large force, has been steadi-
ly making way up Powelr Valley, and
a. our latest advices was IN possession
OF Tazewell, the county seated Claiborne.
The enemy's position az Thzsweil is a
threatening one and ifhe is not attacked
at once and furiously,m may result in giving
him advantages that will be irretrievable
ruin TO us. Tazewell is Immediately in
front -of Cumberland Gap, on the
nearest route from Knoxville 10 that
point. PowelPs Valley extends into
Virginia, and from Cumberland Gap
through the Valley to Moccasin Gap is
one of the best roads In the country
Thence TO the salt works, and the Vir-
ginia and Tennessee railroad az Abiug-
don, there is nothing TO stay his victori-
Gus career, unless he is al once attacked
and routed by the army under General
Smith. The possession or even partial
destruction Of the salt works by the
enemy would be a calamity TO the Con-
federate States more serious than the fall
OF Richmond, Tor these works arc almost
The sole reliance Of the South for one Of
the most Indispensable necessaries Of life.
The character of the enemy in Powells
Valley is one also which should rouse up
our government 20 every possible cxertion
to at once destroy or drive him back. His
force is in part composed Of five or six
regiments of East Tennessee rcnegades
A feature Of their programme is the de-
struction of the bridges on the upper
end of the East Tennessee and Virginia
railroad. IL they are permitted to reach
Moccasin Gap, in Virginia, an easy and
protected road through Hawkins, Sulli-
van and Washington counties brings them
