he did. Subsequently he ordered further
withdrawal to Great Bridge, in Norfolk

Movements in Virginia.

From the Louisville Journal Of the 9th inst,
The news from the Army of the Po-
tomac is ominous. The movements on
both sides strongly indicate that great
battle is very near at hand if il has not
already taken place. Indeed we may
well be prepared at any hour to hear of
mighty and eventful conflict. 1t GER.
tainly cannot be far off unless the rebels
shall abandon their position, and we have
no doubt that they are far two powerful
in numbers to be willing to do that
The loyal papers generally speak with
confidence as to theresult of the expect
ed battle. We are confident, for we have
deep faith in the prudence and skill of
Mcclellan and his Generals and the dis
cipline and bravery of his great army.
We cannot deny however that we feel
much anxiety, for certainly Lees army
is immense in Numbers, it is an army of
desperate fighters under leaders OF chiv-
airy and renown, and it has the vast
advantages of extensive and powerful
Notifications. If it was only after a
most terrific, obstinate, and doubtful con-
flict that Mcclellan won the bloody field
of Antietam where the rebel army, like
his own, fought for the most part in the
open fields, we may appreciate the mag
nitude and the righteousness of his UNDER
taking when he goes TO attack that same
army greatly strengthened by reinforce
ments and occupying a position to which
nature and human labor have given their
combined strength.
The forces now under the immediate
command Of Gen. Lee can hardly num-
Der less than two hundred and fifty or
three hundred thousand men. One might
suppose such an army, fighting in noun
tain-passes and from hill-tops and be-
hind trenches and breastworks and fell
ed trees and all the other defences that
an almost numberless army can construct,
must be well nigh invincible, but, al
though these considerations may well
create anxiety, they should not destroy
confidence in McClellan's success. We
do not believe that he can be beaten, be
the odds against him what they may.
The carnage may be horrible, but we be
lieVe that he will triumph, for he leads
men, who, sharing his own gallant and
devoted spirit, regard their own lives as
nothing when weighed against the life OF
their country. We believe that he will
triumph, and, if be shall do this, and fol-
low up his triumph with Napoleonic en-
ergy, TO him and to his army of heroes
win belong the immortal honor of having
given the rebellion its death-blow.
