works II defense Which With = proper force
say ~. 900 r1ea, you'd be stru5z beyond
sJfnosG tbs FEASIBILITY Of capture. The po-
sitionB selected by Ehem n tbeir pfauE,
we're 20 high As % eomnand the entire
county on AL tides, and these we're nodat
Cd ny heavy ordnance Of long range. The
only approaches we're mp the rough and
almost perpendicular sides Of the mountain
from which so0D the pstaTsi shelter OF the
s.nnte5 trees ba4 been removed. Any one
not familiar with the deiTing not 70 sag
deyiiiFb propen1ities Of the rebels, would be
largely surprised - the amount Of work
done by them aud which they left At Our
approach without shot. We we're IN their
works su hour sfter their rear guard
ha1 gone, api suppose somsPh4i aeeeIsr-
Hsed their movements by oar proximity,
bot did not get even far away view Of
their retreatiDg forms, much 70 our disgust.
They left Us i've large cannon aud unor;zrE,
spiked and mutilated ~ much as possible.
All their tebts HeTe Left standing, bnt cnE
ia all msnuer Of striogs and reaisred en-
tirely Taineless. Great qasnfities of -four,
bAeOu, lard, corn, &c, we're a!so destroyed.
Il SCENT tHey we're in no danger of starV-
ing. Where they have gone or what they
are intendiBg TO do, Jon can inform your
readers When yos learn We bear vague
MINORS ofthem out near NorribtoWn, on
the railroad, but have nearly given up all
hope Of them ever appearing IN bodily
form nfter leaving Jueh an admirable point
for defence as this. The time may come,
however, when We shall consider il doing
quite enough TO hold the plaee sgainst
these same rrbels. What n the rebellion,
driven from the great valley Of the West,
hnd from their cApitsi aud the coast on the
East and South, should, as the hard shell
text has il, guaR q file and fee 10 the
mountains OF Hepsidam, or of East Tennes-
see, which, take II, are nearly identical
One Of two things Is certain, either
cbivaIry will suddenly subside and will
not die in the last ditch, ofNelse the war
will be transferred 10 the Mountain Depart
msut, and be carried on much as was the
Seminole war in the everglades Of Florida.
That the war is TO close as soon as many
believe, / cannot think and that the mass
of the Southern people win have no excess
Of love for their sturdy SoTthern brethren
At its close, am still more certain. How
ever, we intend TO conquer the soil, and If
they choose to remain on it, win have 20
submit eventually.
trnst that the efforts Of the patriots of
Western Virginia viii be snecenfuI, and
that the new State, like deserving wife
divorced from an abusive, tyfaunical old
wretch Of husband, win be able to take
her proper place among her sisters, cut
ioose from slavery, taxation and deprecia-
ted bonds. To have assisted in sucl: a
work as this, will be more honor than even
IN have carried a fnuskek In defence of the
Government. w. II. G..
