VERY DEAN GENERAL Your letter Q
the 22nd instant was only received las
night. / give you, with pleasure, Ia,
following views on yonr proposed opera
tions from Tupelo, for l wish you th,
amplest success, both ON yopr and Oh,
country's account.
You had evidently but one of foul
things 10 do First, to attack Halleck al
Corinih; second, 10 attack Buell. at OF
about Chattanooga third, to attack
Grant at or about Memphis; fourth, tc
remain idle at Tupelo.
From what vow state, The first is eyi-
IDENTIFY inadmissible, and the last cannot
be entertained FOR moment, for action,
action, action, is what We require.
Now, with regard to the other propo-
sitions, il is evident that unless You re .
inforce Gen, +. X. Smith at Chattanooga.
he viii be overpowered by Buell., and
then our communication with the East,
and our supplies at Atlanta, Augusta,
etc, will be cut off; also, that partial
reinforcement would so weaken You at
Fupelo as TO paralyze you for any other
movement from there; hence you have
adopted the wisest course in sending TO
Smith all available forces, except Just
enough to guard your depots, etc, to the
rear of your present position at Tupelo.
The third proposition would have af-
forded you some success, but not as bril-
liant and important in results as the Sc
cond one, If the newspapers will permit
you to carry il successfully into effect
for Halleck and Buell., occupying the
base Of a long isOsceles triangle, of which
Mobile is the apex, could get TO Chatta-
nooga before you, il they should become
aware of your movements, aud then you
would have 10 contend again with super
ior forces, as usual with us The mo-
ment you get to Chattanooga you ought
TO take the offensive, keeping in mind the
following grand principles of the art of
war:
First: Always bring the masses Of
your army in contact with the fractions
Of the enemy. Second: Operate as much
as possible on his communications with
out exposing your own. Third: Operate
always on interior or shorter lines. /
have no doubt that with any thing like
equal numbers, you will always meet
with success.
! am happy TO see that my two leu
tenants, Morgan and Forrest are doing
such good service in Kentucky and Ten
nessee When appointed them thought
they would leave their mark wherever
they passed.
By-the-by, think we ought hereafter,
in our official papers, to call the Cyan
KEGS" "Abolitionists' instead of "Fed-
erals" for they now proclaim not only
The abolition of slavery, but of all our
rights; and that name will
have a singing effect on our western ene-
mics. ] intend 70 issue a general order
)n the subject whenever assume a COM
nand. Sincerely your friend,
G. r.. BEAUREGAUn.

A Fancied March.

1t the army of Virginia could march
through the South Just as il is--ragged
and almost barelooted and hatless-
could march from Richmond TO the Mis-
sissippi, it would produce a sensation
that has no parallel in history since Peter
the Hermit led his swelling hosts across
Europe to the rescue Of the Holy Sepul-
cher SapaH'ah Republican.
Yes, march them from Richmond TO
the Mississippi, if you dare, and show to
the deluded victims of secession, instead
of that victorious Southern army, of
which you once talked so loudly, de-
feated, dispirited and fOrlorn host, kept
together only by force, and recruited only
by CONSUMPTION. Tell the Southern peo-
pie that this army, which was to haze
taken Washington and redeemed Mary
land, has been compelled TO retreat pre-
cipitately before The flag of The Union.
Tell them that fifty thousand OF this
rebel army now sleep in the grave, and
one nuutItu NhOusduu nc III Nlt ullStl@
able hospitals OF Richmond. Yes, this
march Of fancys picturing would pro-
duce a Sensation that has no parallel in
history" From one humble cottage by
the lyayside, wife would ruth ont and
wildly, franiically Shrek, "0h, my hus-
band, come home and comfort me ~ And
from another lowly dwelling a group Of
bright-eyed children, would shout, {" Pa
Their, leave those soldiers, and stay here
with u.s." And again, an aged mother,
with love thai never wesries nor les
sens, and outliEes death itself oould i'm
ploringly say "My son. Hs war is
making us all very wrrttHOd; return,
and smooth my at1way 10 tine grave"
Yes, davil incarualc, march your army
from Richmond 10 the Mi ,isipd. and
give every soldier The ch ice oi deserving
ef remaining in the rebel service, and
long before your bugIes counted a halt
by the Father Of Waters, not a corporaPs
guard would remain around the black
flag Of treason.

Gen. HiDdman Of Arkansas, a rebel ty-
rant, knayc, md ruilian, is also thief
without honor. He embczzlod a large
amount of the war tax of that State, and
has been displaced from his command
and put under arrest.-ErclaHge.
We do not know that this statement
is true, but it lis very likely to be SO.
Gen. Hindman, whether a thief or not,
is a coward If he ever lights, il is be-
cause he is ashamed and afraid to run.
But even such shame and fear have not al
ways availed TO make him stand. In the
fallof 1854 he had difficulty at Little
Rock while the Arkansas Legislature was
in session, with Mr.. Moon, weIl-known
fighting man of that State. One day,
while Moon was in the hall Of the House
OF Representatives, llindman stationed
himself behind a large pillar outside the
door, and, as Moon was passing out,
peepcd from his hidins-place and shot
lin, breaking one Of his arms, and then,
not having The courage to confront the
wounded man, rushed into She hall and
interrupted the legislative proceedings
by bawling aloud for protection. Such a
scene was probably never witnessed in
any legislative body before or since
Hindman and Moon we've both board
ing Al that time al the Anthony House
in Little Rock. Moon, having the use of
one arm, the left we believe, swore that
Hindman shouldn't remain in the hotel.
therefore, Hindman didn't, but had his
trunk sent 10 another boarding house and
fed from the town as soon as he could
< off Moon warned him in his new
quarters that the day Of reckoning would
soon come, but not long afterwards, to
Hindmans infinite relief, he died,
And now this poor poltroou appears to
be commander in chiefof The loces Of the
+" Toothpicl' State.-iOu.J0uHaL

Some Of the rebels we're much enraged
the other day because some ofthe soldiers
belonging 10 a foraging party returned
through the streets with fine sides OF ba-
con sticking on their bayoneis. Now rebels
didn'l YOU use TO swear that nobody
could be neutral in this war, and can you
have the impudcnce now 20 blame our
soldiers for following your advice, aud
mLmg s'deg-whereye they can find them?
Other soldiers, chagrined that they could
find no rebels TO fight had apparently
turned the expedition into a war against
tarley; while The booty Of others recalled
