Orders have been given to drill all the
troops in the bayonet exercise. 1t is the
intention of Gen. Mcclellan, writes cor.
respondent, to rely upon this deadly weapon
in every engagement. We have the utmost
superiority over the rebels in the bayonet
drills, aud the gallantry aud effect OF
many charges made by our troops in re-
cent battles, bear ample testimony to the
efficiency Of this weapon. As write, oil

from not having been lately drilled. a

movements of the glistening muskets in this
beautiful exercise, each one handled by a
sturdy soldier, have most beautiful effect.

more than enough TO control Eastern Vir-
ginIa tor the next month, and, it may be,
capture Richmond. Even supposing the
worst-that, driven by desperation and
the utter hopelessness of their sinking
cause, the rebels should make another raid
up the valley, and monaco Maryland, our
magnificent line Of works, extending along
the whole Potomac. and sheltered by the
hills and its rugged romantic shores, are
invincibie. Either before them or behind
them we have an army which=may defy
the world
take this frank view of the case, be-
cause am anxious to answer the argu-
ments of those who profess to read the
signs of the times. / merely suppose the
worst possible contingency, in order that
it may be dispelled by very simple and
precise statement of facts. 1t is not pos
sible that anything can happenin Virginia,
beyond the mere marching and counter
marching of troops-the building of tenn
porary entrenchments, al occasional skir-
mish, or an advance to Richmond by some
route not now anticipated. Our true line
of temporary defence will be the Kappa
hammock. We are not, I think, strong
enough to maintain a post even as far
advanced as Cuipepper or the Rapidan
without additional forces. In doing so
We expose ourselves to unnecessary danger,
and no desirable result can be obtained
AS we are opening up new campaign. on
a larger and more magnificent scale, it is
unfair to ask our generals to carry out
any of the details of the plan until they
are properly strengthened and reinforced
All the forces are gathering for the
final struggle in Virginia. Here the rebel
lion first drew the sword, and here by the
sword shall die. On one side we see the
dispirited South, with an army of poor,
desperate, and furnishing conscripts. On
the other side we see the mighty North,
strong in every physical resource, anima
ted with love of country, and inspired
with just and holy cause. The contest
will be upon Us very soon. 1t must be
brief, bloody, and decisive. 1t may end
in the subjugation or annihilation Of the
South, but it must end in the triumph OF /
the North.
