4 The indications are that the forces of the Con
federacy are now IN motion all along tn
! lines and if we are not greatly mistaken th
Yankees will soon fiud the States of Tennessee
Kentucky and Missouri too hot 20 hold them
The gallant Morgan, with bis foreS OF brave Anc
well trained soldiers, is already far within th'
/ Ysnkee lines, carrying conformation and dis
may into their ranks, and to the hearts of then
tory supporters. He has captured town after
town, routed the enemy on several occasions and
taken many prisoners. There is scarcely Z
| town in Tennessee or Kentucky, now ia the
bauds of the Y8nkeas, which is not in daily fesI
OF visit from the inviueble Morgan and his
band. Some weeks ago he made a sudden de-
scent into Kentucky, carrying his victorious arms
almost to the banks OF the Ohio, creating such
panic in Cincinnati, aud other Yankee cities,
that the specie in their banks was hastily
shipped TO New Ysrk for saf5 keeping. At that
tms Morgan Was wholly unsupported by any
considerable force but now the is different,
and there is every reason 10 believe that lsrgs
and well appointed armies are actually in mo-
ton, lesdy 10 co operate VITA Morgan, and 10
strike rapid and effective blows for the rsdsmp-
ton of these States from the yoke of Yankee
bondage.
The telegraph informs US that the Yankees at
Cumberland Gap are closely invested by the
Cohfederates and it is expected they will be OBJ
liged to surrender very soon. Buell is said to
be retreating in the direction Of Nashville, but
unless he succeeds in getting above that city
within very few days, no viii be quite likely
to End that his further retreat in that direction
hiss been completely cut OF. An Eaglish gentle
man, who has lately reSched Louisville, IS given
as authority for the statement that thers we're
quite recently, not less than cue hundred thou
sand COnfedsTstes at or in the vicinity Of Chat
tan0oga. They are not destined to remain idle,
and we shall not be surprised 10 hear at any
time that large portion Of this force Is far on ts
way toward the Ohio river. It is not alone from
the direction Of Chattanooga that the Yankees
have reason 20 apprehend disaster. The South
eTn troops are closing in upon them in more than
one direction. They ars superior to the Yankees
in point OF numbers, and if their leaders display
the proper energy and capacity, we are com
PEELED to believe that the enemy will soon be
driven out Of Tennessee, aud beyond the Ken
lucky line into Ohio. Missouri too, is arning
for the fray. The numerous guerrilla bands re-
Gently organized there, appear determined 10
take possession Of tbs State and according to
the account of their movements a. given in the
Yankee pspers, there is & strong probability thas
they will bs able TO do So
As soon as they can perfect their organiza-
SONS other well known military loader in whom
ths peopls Of that State have confidence, We
have strong hope that Missouri viii be redeemed,
and that the hirelings and tories who have till
now held it in thTall, will be speedily expelled.
The cause Of the Confedegacy IS now in a
very hopeful condition, and nothing bus 4 want
Of energy and decision on the part Of Congress
and the edministrstion, or Of vigoT and ability
on the part of our military leaders, can prevent
the South from recovering large portion of the
territory wressed from Us last winter, while We
were still in tue state of torpor caused By the
Confederate successes last summer and fall Ii
viii not be rational to expect an uninterrupted
series of successes, but what the Soathern poo
pie can and do expect is, that cur authorities will
not suffer the golden opportunity which now
presents itself, Of recovering large portion of
the most valuable territory Of the Confederscy,
to pass unimproved
