REBEL CANARbs.-1t is amusing to notice the
devices employed by the rebels to keep up
their courage. The rebel generals, like Beau
regard, transform defeats into victories in their
reports, and the rebel editors back up these
misrepresentation by weak inventions in re-
gard to the spirit and health of our forces.
Thus a correspondent Of the Knoxville Regis
ter crowds three palpable falsehoods about the
Union army into as many paragraphs. He re-
ports that Kentucky Union regiment rebelled
near Nashville; that two Indiana regiments
were called out to suppress the rebellion, and
that fight ensued, in which the Indianians
were defeated. How true this story is the
rebels learned at Pittsburg Landing, where the
Kentucky and Indiana regiments fought gal
lantly side by side. The correspondent Of the
Register goes on to narrate the ravages made
by the smallpox in our army, having discovered
this disease in advance Of our surgeons and
soldiers, who know nothing Of the agonies the
correspondent describes, and are not aware
that they are ell dead and buried. The Register
man concludes by stating that our army is be-
coming demoralzed. Probably he had not yet
heard Of the capture Of Island No. 10 and Of
the Pitssburg battle, or he would have con-
cluded that our Generalization was conta-
rious disease, and that the rebels had caught Il
from us. II Satan is really the father Of lies,
We congratulate him upon the Aourishing con-
dition Of his numerous progeny in the Southern
confedsracy. Old Ananias could not hold .
candle with rebel editor or Confederate
general.

TIE BANKRUPT LAWN another column we
publish two letters on tho Bankrupt law which
has been 80 summarily disposed Of in the
House of Representatives. 1t is another me-
lancholy evidence of the unftness for legisla-
ton of the men who pretend to represent the
people in Congress, and another proof Of the
necessity Of the public hurting such men from
power, and placing in their stead men of prin-
ciple, intelligence and character. The sort of
Congress we have had for the last few years
has ruined the country It has divided it by
geographical line, and has kindled civil
war in which upwards of million of men are
in arms. Having thus ruined the business of
the merchants and commercial men of the c0un-
try, it now abandOns their interests, though
many of those men have largely contributed to
the sustainment of the government of the coun-
try in its darkest hour, by supplying the sinews
of war when there was not cent in the
treasury. The merchants and traders, moreover,
are compelled to pay heavy war tax besides,
while their embarrassments leave them but lit
tie able to meet such O burthen. Whatever
cripples the commerce Of the country is neces-
sarily injurious to the government, especially
at a time when it is necessary that every
branch of business should be prosperous in
order to sustain the financial pressure pro-
duced by the war.
How the want of an equitable bankrupt law
operates against the majority of the creditors,
as well as the honest debtors, is clearly shown
by one of our correspondents. The present
system merely enables the swindling debtor to
escape through the meshes of the law, while
all Others suffer from it. We hope that
some honorable man will move for re-
consideration of the vote, in order that the yeas
and nays may be taken, and the people
may form correct opinion Of the character Of
the men who misrepresent them in Congress.

times, for nearly a twelvemonth. the combined
fleets and armies of England and France. to-
gether with the armies of Turkey and Sar-
dinia. In word. having proved by our recent
warlike inventions and experiments that
wooden ships and stone forts. as now armed,
are henosforward useless for offensive or defen-
sive purposes in war, we have neutralized the
great navies Of England and France, and we
bring them within the reach of our superior
naval resources, and reduce them to the neces-
sity of new defences against each other
But, applying the capture of Fort Pulaski to
our more immediate objeot-the suppress
sion Of this rebellion-it shows, in oon-
nection with some others Of our late
achievements, that there is no position
for the rebels, however strongly defended
by natural advantages, artificial additions. ar
tillery and men. which cannot be turned, and
thatthere is not stone fortress along the South
ern coast which cannot be battered topieces.
Fort Sumter was not very matsrislly damaged
BY the two dsys encirciing bombardment Of
Beauregard; but, with the exception Of one
small riaed field piece, his gums were all Of the
old fashion. But Sumter, when subjected to
the fire of our heavy rided Parrott artillery,
will soon become as defenceless as Pulaski.
The only serious impediment to our onward
march into the very heart Of this rebellion Is
the rebel army in front Of General Mcclellan
at Yorktown. With the news that that OBJ
struotion has been removed, and that JEFF
Davis and his confederate rulers have fed in
dismay from Richmond we believe that the
rough work Of suppressing this rebellion will
be finished, and that we shall only have to
CLEAN up some scattered guerilla fragments Of
our routed and broken rebel armies. Mean
time, we expect that the fall Of Fort Macon
will in day or two add another contribution
to the enthusiasm of General McClellan's we'll
equipped, disciplined and reliable army. Pu-
laski is good days work, and it gives US q
new stock Of patience and confidence in regard
to Yorktown.

TIE REBEr. GAMs or BnAo.--Sickened o.
the game of bluff. won by Commodore Foote
along tho Tennessee and Mississippi rivers, the
rebels fall back upon their old game of brag.
The Richmond Wing roundly asserts that the
rebels shave been often defeated by the Yam
KEGS, but never yet whipped in fair fight"
Has the Whig heard of Roanoke Island, Fort
Donelson, Newbern, Winchester, Pea Ridge,
Pittsburg Landing and Fort Pulaski? Or is
the Wing satirical, and does it mean that the
rebels always surrendered or ran away before
they could be "whppeds" "But," the Wig
continues, "our defeats have proven the supe-
riority Of our fighting qualities" Certainly
this is strange way of proving superiority.
Does q man prove his bravery by running
away, q general prove his superiority by being
defeated. an army prove its courage by laying
down its armss According to this rule, Floyd,
Pillow and Wise must be the greatest generals
the world ever saw, and the fame Of Alexander
the Great, Napoleon and Wellington is totally
eclipsed. At last we osn comprehend why the
rebels always claim q victory when they have
been defeated, and why Beauregard writes that
he tfidmphed at Pittsburg Landing. 1t Is the
maxim 6f the rebels that defeat proves their
superiority, and therefore they continue to
grow more superior and get more de-
feated day after day. BY this process
they will. succeed in achieving their in
dependence after they are all brought
back into the Union, and JEFF Davis and his
cabinet will rule the Southern c0nfederacy
comfortably after they are hanged. What
consoling belief, to be sure. When success is
achieved by defeat, no wonder the rebels never
gain victory. eyes," says the Whig "we
always believed we could whip the Yankees,
and nothing has done 80 much to strengthen
and confirm our belief as our disasters" This
is of piece with the philosophy explained
above, and must make all Confederate readers
feel happy, even though they cannot exactly
see it in that light. "The men Of the South" I"
says the Whig, care accustomed to the use of
arms, and to tho contemplation of death by the
bullet or the knife" What happy picture of
secession society. We suppose that the reason
why the rebels run nowadays is because they
are so much accustomed to contemplate death
from the bullet and the knife that they can take
no interest in contemplating it any more.
The Americans lost the battle Of Bladensburg
from q similar want of interest. Poor rebels !
they must be very much tired of contemplating
death from the bullet and the knife; and, if only
to revive their contemplative faculties, dulled
by stupid custom, we ought to show them death
in new phase-from the halter. Seriously, if
this article in the Richmond Wing is not written
by sensible man, who mimics in order to
laugh at, the rebel braggadocio, then the Whig
must be conducted by lunatics.

Liverpool, with moro Offering,
The Reduction OF Fort Pulaski-Another
New Lesson I'm the Art Of War.
And yet another important Union victory.
From the seaboard Of Georgia our indefatlga-
BILE soldiers and seamen are bravely responding
to the great achievements Of their gallant breth-
rem in the West. Fort Pulaski, the main de-
fence Of the city of Savannah against hostile
approach from the sea, is ours; and doubtless
the city now, like Nashville after the fall Of
Fort Donelson, will speedily be abandoned to
our advancing forces.
From the facts which we derive from rebel
sources of the surrender Of Fort Pulaski, and
from other items of information in our posses
sion, we have no hesitation in saying that the
reduction of this stronghold of the enemy was
very beautifully managed and conducted.
The attention of the rebels was first
diverted to the movements Of our gunboats and
land forces among the creeks and islands be-
tween the city and the fort; but, having cut of
the communications of the garrison with the
city, General Sherman, under cover Of the
night, and from night to night, proceeded to
plant his batteries of heavy rifed Parrot guns
on Tybee Island within deadly range Of the
sea front ofthe fortress. When ready for their
work his guns were uncovered, and their bonn
bardment Of single day appears not only to
have rendered the fort untenable, but it seems
to have proved conclusively that against. our
latestimprovements in artillery stone forts are
az defenceless as are wooden ships against iron
clad battering rams.
II is confessed in England that the sea
fight between the Merrimac and the
Monitor has revolutionized the whole
system of naval warfare and accord
ingly England has suspended the building
Of wooden vessels for war purposes. In this
connection, too, 1t has been suggested in Par
lament that the work be suspended on the stone
Notifications which the British government Is
building at Spithssd and all doubts ss to the
expediency Of this suspension will bs removed
with very little reflection upon the details Of
our bombardment Of Fort Pulaski. The sea-
board granite defences Of all the maritime ma
tions Of the earth must henceforwsrd be pro-
vided with artillery which no ship can conve-
niently employ, or they must be abandoned for
iron-plated towers, rams and gunboats.
Such are the sweeping changes in modern
war ships and fortihcations inauguratsd
by the inventive genius Of this country
in the prosecution Of this war. The
civilized world will realize the necessi-
ty for these changes with the rejection that
dozen iron-plated vessels like the Monitor

GENERAL PoRTER's BALLOON REcoNNorssAScE
OF THE ENExY.-The ascent Of General Porter
in balloon to reconnoitrs the works of the
enemy at Yorktown, on the 1lth instant, was
attended with an accident, which, though II
created alarm to everybody but the intrepid
voysger himself, gave him better opportunity
of accomplishing his purpose than he would
otherwise have had. The rope was only nine
hundred yards long, and only gave limited
view; but the accident Of its swapping caused
tho balloon to ascend TO an immense height,
while, at the same time, IL was moved by
the wind right over the enemy. This, however,
was an inconvenient point at which to effect
descent and, ss good luck would have H.

The New York herald., 1862-04-16

FURTHER EXPLOITS OF GENERAL MITCHELL
We published yesterday despatch from
Nashville to the War Department from which
it appeared that General Mitchell, who had
seized Huntsville, in Northern Alabama, and
thus cut the Memphis and Charleston Railroad,
had since sent out two expeditions. One of them
went east to Stevenson, the junction of the
Chattanooga with the Charleston and Memphis
Railroad, which point they seized, capturing
five locomotives and large amount of rolling
stock. The other, we are informed, proceeded
west to Decatur in time to save the railroad
bridge, which was in flames. By these move
ments General Mitchell holds one hundred
miles of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad,
and the functions Of two important arteries.
This is heavy blow to the rebel cause. Not
only is the line Of communication between
Charleston and Memphis severed, and communi-
cation established between Mtchell's corps and
Nashville by two railroads--one to the Decatur
junction and the other to Stevenson-but he is
in position to advance beyond Chattanooga
to Cleveland, which would efectually cut off
the communication between the rebel army in
Virginia and the force under Beauregard, and
at the same time open the way to Knoxville,
thus turning the rebel force at the Cumberland
Gap and rendering it of no account. Such is
the brilliant movement of Mitchell with only
small body of troops.
