There seems to be a strong conviction
at Washington and almost everywhere
else, that a portion, and probably the most
valuable portion of Beauregard's army
recently at Corinth is now at Richmond.
Circumstances are stated which seem to
establish the fact.
We shouldn't be at all surprised to
learn that at least $4,000 or $4,000 of
Beaurcgard's men have joined the Rich
mond army. Whether the rebels have
or have not, as is generally stated two
hundred thousand men in Richmond, we
consider very doubtful. The rebels have
uniformly been successful in setting on
foot extraysgant accounts of their num-
bers at all Spoints. But we deem it
likely that they have now gathered, or
are gathering their whole available strength
into one grand army, with the intention
Of stalking everything upon single con-
hict in front of their capital, leaving, in
the meantime all the rest of their army
open to the advance of Federal troops
And this, if it is their policy, is no doubt
a wise one, for every body knoacs, that oar

Southern rights Of any kind. For the
sake of tremendous victory at Rich
mond, followed, as it would be by long
train of highly important results, the reb
els could well afford to have our armies
occupy nearly the whole of the area of
their Confederacy for twelve mouths
Louisville Journal.
We call the attention of every patriot
who desires to see this atrocious rebel
lion speedily repressed and crushed out,
to the statements of the above paragraph
and particularly to the passage which
we have italicised. 1t is no doubt true,
every word of it, and should arouse us to
a most serious consideration of the policy
which our Generals have been pursuing.
The journal declares, and with truth,
that every officer and soldier in the rebel
army feels that his ''rights OF EVERY
KIND" will not be interfered with in
any way by our forces, and feeling assured
of this, he readily leaves his property, his
crops, his horses, his cattle, and his
slaves to the protection of the Federal
Government in one quarter, while he
goes off with gun on shoulder to strike a
death blow to it in another. Was ever
such monstrous absurdity committed
by any Government before as to protect
rebels, and aid them in their efforts to
destroy it ? Did ever Congressman and
editors speak and write month after mouth
amid the roar of cannon and the clash of
sssbres to prove that we must not modest
the Constitutional rights of traitors, OF
touch the sacred property of rebels
Did ever Government say to insurgents,
SoASShIleVS ou1 lolCSo III olo pouy, ii
you deem it necessary, in order to strike
us death-blow, and we assure YOU that
your property and rights shall be scrupul-
ously respeeted?" If such folly ever was
committed, history has mercifully drawn
the pail of forgetfulness over such imbe-
cility and infatuation. The Administra-
ton owes it to the nation, to posterity to
let its blows fall SO thickly and heavily on
the rebels and their property, in all quar-
ters, that they will have no opportunity
to concentrate their army at any point.--
If ever we expect to quell this rebellion
we must change our policy, and cease to
be allies of the rebels. Union.
