Retrospective.
II 1t is too much too say that three months
ago darkness and gloom shrouded the Union
cause, that at home the National credit was tot
tering, and abroad we were treated with
scarcely disguised contempt, it is, at least, true
that with the opening of the year some dstrust
and much dependency pervaded the public
mind. But in these three months a change as
cheering has come over our affairs as the events
are remarkable by which it has been accomplish.
ed. Let US briefly review them:
Order No. of President Lincoln marked the
Inauguration of new era, illustrated in tho
East by the gallant Burnside and Shields, and
in the West by succession of victories hardly
surpassed in the history Of any campaign on re.
cord On the 18th of January last occurred the
affair at Mill Spring, the harbnger Of II new
day. In that fight the right wing of the rebel
army in kentucky was destroyed, the position
at Bowling Green was fanked, and Tennessee
opened to invasion. February 9Th, ForrHenry
was taken, and we we're enabled to command the
communication of the rebel strongholds at
Bowling Green and at Columbus. Nine days
later the rebels evacuated Bowling Green, and
it was occupied by Gen. Mitchell without firing
off q gun. February 10th, Fort Donelson fell;
on the 25th of the same month Nashville was
occupied by Union troops. March 4tb, the
evacuation OF Columbus afforded US another
bloodless but most important victory. On the
18th New Madrid was evacuated by the rebels,
whose ,etreating footsteps were pressed upon

March 10th, came the news of the hard fought
field of Pea Ridge, In which the combined for

Upon oil this comes the news of the reduction
of Island No. 10, and OF the victory at Pitts
burg, which though it may have been well nigh
missed by the delays Of dilstory General, will
prove, let US trust, in the end signal advantage.
In contemplating the series of events, of
which this is only the merest outline, it seems
more like skllfully arranged drama than like
campaign prosecuted under great difficulties,
20 rapid and harmonious have been the move
ments, undsturbed by single serious reverse.
1t IL only when we reckon up its visible, tangible
results, and attempt to form some idea of the
consequences sure speedily to follow, that We
can at all realize the real nature of the stupen
dous game that has been played before our eyes.
In brief, the result OF the campaign thus far are:
Some q, 900 prisoners untold amounts of mill
tary stores and equipments hundreds of guns;
innumersble flags and every species of trophy,
the loss OF which inspires encouragement, and
the gain, elation, in the minds of soldiers; the
complete decentralization and partial dispersion
OF armies, which must number in the aggregate
at least 10000 men; the final liberation from

forced to leave many to fall into our hands.
