has an abundance of troops, who are
thoroughly equipped in every particn-

make an effective army. The stories Of

WEDNESDAY MORNING. APRIL rs. 1863.
- - ----------
The Coulict 10 the Southwest.
News Of the most stirring importance
will soos be due from the vicinity Of our
present military quarters in Tennessee
Though the news from that loca''ty I"
for the present mostly considered con.
uabaud. il !. vel. enough 10 state that
there can be little or no doubt that the
fate OF Gen. Bcauregard and his entire
.,my is sealed. lie cannot WITHSTAND
the powerful assault that is about 70 %
made upon him.
Since the battle Of Pittsburgh, de-
tachmeuts from our army have been
thrown out 10 various directions, and
have cut of all chance Of receiving re-
Inducements from the East OF South.
and all chance of escape by railroad,
except toward Memphis, and BY this
time it is not at all Improbable that even
that means Of exit il taken from the
enemy. We give Gen. Beauregard the
credit Of being great General. but he
i. nothing more than human, and - We
look upon the matter it will require
something Of a superhuuan character
on the part Of the rebel army to get
out Of the tolls which now seem to en-
viron it. In all probability. before ten
days have elapsed, tho rebel govern
mcnt will have one army less than to-
day.
A soou a. the blow falls there will be
a hasty march on Memphis, and the
tate Of that place will be decided in .
hurry. That being done, the immense
fortifications above that place will be OF
no s,r.,cgetic value, and will, as mat
ter Of course, be abandoned to their
fi:c. The entire southwest will be
opened up to our army, and the princi-
pal fighting of the campaign 10 that
quarter will DO closed. We may be
counting little too fast, but tue indica-
lions seem to warrant such a conclu.
sioni Let us assume that this will be
the case. What then? Then comes
up the question are there any cons'd'
cradle quantity Of Union men in that
section. Il one. fourth, or onc.third Of
the population Of that region composed
of thoroughly Union men; or does the
disunion sentiment almost universally
prevail? That is what most concerns
US to know. If the former position be
true-if we find there strong Union
scntiment-if we find large share OF
Union men ready to stand forth and
join heart and hand for tho preservation
of the republic we may expect speedy
peacs-an immediate return 10 the
paths Of prosperity and happiness; bu'
il, on the other hand, it is found thai
there tho love of the Union has dice
"at-that the people, as a people, ar
rrhels and heartily ave1se to the Fede
,..l Govcrnment-ready to take up arm
aid fight against and annoy 1t OIL all &C
ca,ions, then We must confess that th'
prospect for speedy peace is dark ant
Ivrbidding. Time, and short time a
that, will reveal the real status Of affair
10 the southwest.

the day that the Hoboken sailed, sixteen
miles of the cable was laid in the most
successful manner, when operations stop

boken was occupied in taking soundings,
when severe gale of wind, which sprang
up on that day, struck her about noon
Her steam pipe broke soon afterwards, and
she became unmanageable, drifting upon
Cape Henry, where she went ashore, Al d
broke in-two last night. She is a total
loss. All hands saved. The remainder
of the cable, about fifteen miles, was de-
s,royed before it waa abandoned. About
an equal quantity is laid in the bay and
the end is buoyed up
