GLORY, HALLELUJAH /

The glorious victory achieved by our armsin
the capture of Fort Doneson and the bagging of
$4,000 rebles, following closely upon the heels
of our recent great successes at Fort Henry,
Roanoke Island and Mill Spring, has touched
chord in every heart that beats in unison
with 'the music of the Union,' and excited a
thrill of exultation that vibratcs through every
loyal State in notes of JOY and praise. From
every State, from every city and almost from
every town we have reports of intense excite
ment, unbounded enthusiasm and understandable
iov. Guns are fred, bells are rung and the
people are indulging in every conceivable man
Hesitation of JOY. Our past defeats are atoned
for, our past delays are now satisfactorily ex-
planned, and no one from the least informed
citizen up to Senator Fessenden is now inclined
to criticise the general management Of the war.
All are ready to concede that those TO whom
the war power is intrusted have understood
their business and made the most of their OPP
portunities.
But minging with the joyous notes of loyal
hearts there comes TO our ears strangely dis
cordant sounds. From all rebeldom we hear
lamentations and groans that may well repre-
sent the wall of the lost. Their boosted armies
are sleeping the sleep that knows no waking,
are prisoners in the hands of those whom they
hate with only brothers hatred, or are fly
ing disorganized, demoralized fugitives Their
strongholds within which they defcd the strength
of the Union army have disappeared as by a
magician's wand only to reappear in the hands
of their conquerors. The "impassabe barriers
they had set up on the confines of their late
dominion for the protection of its vital parts
have been suddenly removed, leaving scarcel,
an obstacle in the way of not only "breakinl
the back" but of piercing the heart Of the re
bellion.
For these reasons we are jubilant; and no
for these alone. The Union men of the Sout
wbo at the peril of their property, their safet
and of even their lives, have nobly stood u
for the dear old flag of their country, amid dis
couragements that have appalled, all but tn
stoutest hearts, now find the day of their de
liverance at hand To them these victories ar
the glad tidings Of great joy. 1t is partia
payment for the indignites and outrages the
have suffered at the hands of those who wer
once their neighbors and kinsmen, but who ar
now their deadliest foes. The day of their res
toration is at hand. Glory, Hallelujah

THE GREAT VICTORIES.

The report on our last weeks paper of the
victory of Gen. Burnside at Roanoke Island, is
fully verified by subsequent and official infor-
nation, the details of which are given else
where. Roanoke Island is place of great
importance. 1t occupies position in and fully
commands the channel connecting Pamlico with
Albemare Sounds, through which alone the lat
ter can be reached by the sea. In its capture
we not only command all the North Carolina
sea coast, but all the inland waters of that great
State with portion of those Of Virginia. We
can now pass up to the rear of Norfolk, past
proceed up the Roanoke river TO Weldon,
where the railroads to Richmond, Norfolk and
the South connect, the control Of which is of
the highest Importance and has been supposed
to be leading object of the expedition. In
short this victoryigives us the control of the
rebeous portion of North Carolina.
The victory at Forts Henry and Doneson
virtually clear Kentucky of the rebels, and
leave Tennessee exposed to the incursion of
our armies. 1t is true that Columbus yet holds
Out, Dul Will All NlS III pul
hands and our troops menacing them in the
rear, with their means of communication and
supplies cut off, the rebels there cannot hold
out long nor do us any material damage. The
Tennessee River which rises in Virginia, flows
through Eastern Tennessee into Alabama, across
that state again through Western Tennessee
and Kentucky into the Ohio, is open to our
boats to Florence, Ala, the head of inland
navigation. The capture of Fort Donelson
gives us strong hold on the Cumberland river,
which rises in Eastern Kentucky, flows south
west into Tennessee where it sweeps around to
nearly northery course and, passing through
Kentucky, emptes into the Ohio - miles east
of the mouth of the Tennessee and 60 miles
above Cairo. The battle at Mill Spring gave
us command of all that part the river above the
north line of Tennessee; the capture of Fort
Donelson gives us possession of the river up to
Gainesville, over thirty miles into Tennessee
towards Nashville. This victory has resulted
in the evacuation of Bowling Green and the
timely retreat of the rebels from central Ken
lucky. Furthmore it opens the way for yet
more decisive movements.

Official Thanks to Our Heroes.
The following document: expressing the
thanks Of the president to our gallant command
ers and the men under them, for the recent
brilliant victories, was issued on Saturday -
WAsuINGroN. February 10.
! The president, commander in-chief of the
army and navy returns thanks to Brisadicr-
General hnrn>lr urd Fhg-Olirer Foote, ani
the land and naval forces under ihpit respective
command. 'ur their gallant achievements in the
/ capture ut Fort Henry and a Roanoke Island.
/ Whit il will be no ordaary pleasure for hm
/ to acknowledge and reward in a becoming man
ner the vOlor OF the living, he also recogniz 5
| his duty to the memory Of the gallant dead.
The charge at Roanoke Island, like the bayonet
charge at Mill Spring, proves that the close
grapple and sharp steel Of loyal and patriotic
soldiers, must always put rebels and traitors to
| fight. The late achievement Of the navy show
that the flag of the Union, once borne in proud
glory around the world by naval heroes, will
soon again float over every rebel city and strong
hold, and that it shall forever be honored and
respected as the emblem of liberty and union,
in every land and upon every sea. by order
of the president.
