A RATTLE AT HAND.

We are on the eve of important events in
Virginia. The Rebels have put forth. through
their New.York organ, The Herald, such pre-
posterous exagperatons of their strength 10
that quarter, that they must fight or stand dis
craced in the eyes of their European backers.s
1t ia notorious that neither Gen. McCiellaD's
nor Gen. Pope's army numbers lUO,OoO ei'
fectiyes: and if the Rebels have ut aud about
Richmond ANYTHING like the 800, 900 their oracle
claims for them, then they stand confessed
towards if they do not fight. They know per-
lectly that our new levy OF 800, ZOO volunteers
will very soon be pouring across the Susque-
hauna and the Potomac at the rate oi lO,oVo
per day, and that they must, within the next
lbree weeks, beat one Of the armies which
menace their capital or confess themselves
unable to keep the field. Hence, Immediate
and decisive action is to them both u military
aud political necessity.
Gen. Haeck has his eye on their every
movement. 1t is not his time to hurry, but
lie must keep o bright lookout. II he allows
the Rebel chiefs to repeat the Bull Kun md
recent Gaines Mil dodge Of burlng all their
forces upon half vi his and Overwhelming them,
he is a lost General The country can outlISe
another ruch needless disaster; but the Cen
eral who incurs it cannot. The President has
wisely and properly coD6ded all power over
Military operations in Virginia to bis new
General-iu-C hief That General fails If he
allows half bis forces to be defeated while the
residue stands idle. Whether the Rebels make
their next rush on Mcclellan or as now seems
more probable) on Pope. their superior must
know dow to anticipate and prepare Tor tic
meditated blow. And we trust Gen. Halieck
Is the man for his work.
