months he would compel the enemy to svscu'
ate his stronghold at Manassas without firing
q shot or losing man, and that be would plant
the flag of the Union upon the spires Of Rich
mond, or compel the foe to give him battle IN
fair field, in which he could not only overthrow
him without great loss to his own army, but
render the battle decisive, as he recently an
nounced in his spirited address to his army,
which rang out like the tones of q trumpet.
These anticipations are now being fulfilled
Manassas is already evacuated by the rebels
and occupied by our troops, and soon Rich
mond will be in the hands of Mcclellan with
out blow, and the insurgent army in full re-
treat to the cotton States, demoralized, dis
organized mob, to be dispersed by the Union
armies of the southwest and the Atlantic coast;
otherwise Johnston will be compelled to turn
round and face the music, and thus end the war
by suffering an overwhelming defeat on "the
decisive battle field" Such are the grand re-
suits to which the scientific combinations Of
Mcclellan are leading with sure and steady
progress.

SOUTHERN CInvALRr AND NoRrurRs vAIon-

SOUTHERN CuIvALRY AND NORTHERN vAIoR.-
The rebel journals and the rebel prisoners say
that they knew Western men could fight well.
and are, therefore, not ashamed to surrender to
our Western troops; but, they add, it is the
Eastern Yankees who are towards and will run
away from the chivalry. Well, the rebels had
chance to scare the Eastern men at Newbern.
Massachusetts,, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island and New Jersey furnished the Union
soldiers who fought that battle, and they fought
it with equal bravery. The rebels outnum-
bered these brave fellows fifteen to eight, or
nearly two to one The rebels fought behind
intrenchments, and had sixty-four heavy can
non, while our troops only had few field
pieces, which had to be dragged by hand
through dismal swamps. How did the fight
result? just in the usual style. The ehivalry
were defeated and fed before the Yankees, just
as they did before the Westerners It will not
do for the rebels to attempt to disunite the
East and West, as well as the North and the
South, in this struggle, by representing that the
Yankees are inferior to the Hoosiers or the
Buckeyes. Here at the North every soldier is
man, and he is more than match for a rebel,
no matter from what State he comes
WENDELL PHILLIPS IN HIS GLoRY.-The aboli-
ton agitator, Wendell Phillips, is luxuriating at
Washington. In recent speech he acknow-
lodged that he had been working against the
Union for thirty years. Never was confes-
sion more true. For thirty years Phillips has
been attacking the constitution, and using every
means to exasperate the South to secession.
Now that he has accomplished his object, he is
in his glory, and triumphs in this fratricidal
war as did Satan when his schemes against
mankind resulted in Gains numbering his bro
ther Abel. But now that Phillips has confessed
that for thirty years he has been conspirator
against the Union, is it not about time that the
government put an end to his atrocious career
by confining him in a prison or lunatic asy-
lum! By bis own confession, Phillips and the
Southern rebels are colaborers, and therefore
they ought to be treated alike.
