A Forward Movement ON tho Potomac

A Forward Movement on tho Potomac.
At last we have the longcd for news that
McClellan's army is moving forward to meet
the enemy. The movement is general one
of the the whole army, and Burnside's, Hook
er's and Porter's divisions were onthe march
last Tuesday. Mcclellan has removed his
head quarters into Virginia. The rebels were
falling back, and our cavalry was following
them up, and harrassing their rear. We
hope that this forward movement will be
persevered in till the rebel army is defeated
and the capital of the bogus confedsracy in
our possession. We may reasonably expect
to soon hear Of hard fighting in Virginia.

Amateur Soldiers

The reeeu: battle Of Chickahoiuiny drew forth
large number of amateur fighters, vino went
upon the field for day & sp ort, and returned
with big stories, snch az sportsiaen are very
much prone to relate when there are no wit
nesses 10 verify or disprove their statements.
Whatever credibility may be attached to their
inflated narratives, theEe liz one story told by
the officers who commanded The Iaen who
were enlisted and fighting for their country
like true men and patriots as they are, anu
that story ia that the provisions 60 literally

Ard further. that they picked up in the ere
nly's camp plumber of all sorts, which OF right
belonged to the army, and bore it back to
town. This il 3 fact and this constitutes, we
strongly suspect, ahou; the sum total of the
achievements Of tbs brave multitude who SO

The Southern Cities.

One of the English journals, commenting
on-the fall of New Otleaua, expresses the
opinion tina: the war is virtually at sn end,
and that few months will witness the resio-
ration of peace.
II il obvious that this English newspaper
knows nothing of the Southern country, or
the state Of it's public sentiment. All intel|i
gent Euglishmen have argued that SO long as
the Southern people are determined not to be
subdned, 80 long their snblugation is impossi-
bic We have seen no evidences that the
Southern spirit is giving way, bnt, on the con-
trary, many that adversely and disaster nave
only strengthened its backbone and intensified
its purpose We do not underrate the i'm
porsanoe Of Nav Orleans, but New Orleans
is not TO the Southern Confeaeracy what
Paris is to France Ii is 3 place which, fro N
tie jissases Of the climate, the North will
lad more difficult to hold than to take; and
even If they could hold it as long as tbs
British held New York in the Revolution the
conquest of the country wouii not be accom-
plished thereby. The Southern cities con-.
biued are hui mere spsck in comparison with
their whole territory. The South is an agri
cultural people, snd can live on TO the end Of
time without city in their possession, and
still retain the means Of comfort aud III
dependence. When the people give way;
when they are willing TO be despoiled Of all
they possess; TO wander bsggars upon the
face Of the earth; to drain to the dfegs The
cup OF national and personal humiliation, II
will be time enough to pirate abou, ths WAT
coming TO an end ana the speedy restoration
OF peace. The EDgish journalist has been
deinded by The false representations of the
Northern prints, which have over snd over
again deceived the Enx!ish community, to the
CREST detriment of their own interests. II is
probable, also, that the ardent hopa o. q re-
newal of trade, by az early termination Of the
American war, has contributed 10 his delu-
sion. II he knew anything Of the facts, he
wonld discover that peace, brought about by

sud glory. TIE different fate OF NE two IL
ssssly explained. The ffst were sluggish and
ta,viy In their movements, never anticipated
nm euemy, always suffered him TO concentrate
his fcrees, and pridsd themselves highly upon
skilfu! retreats. The other moved with the
rapidi.y Of lightning, carried no useless bag
gage, marched thirty miles day, and fought
q battle every day, never suffered an enemy
to reunite his force. afteT he had ohee divided
the,n. seizsd the anterior line, where they could
always strike right and Jeff at will, and thus
fonnd the means OF substituting by skiIl and
activity the serviaes Of 100, 600 men.
Like the French Republic ia l.. a6, We have
three principal armies IN the field, two OF them
magnificent dosts, large enough, one would
anprose, 10 march through ianAes'iom aud
plant their banners on Faneuil Hall. oae e1
them has just executed a mastery movement,
which places il come fifty miles or more IN the
rear of its former position; the other Ia literal
" in & state of siege, almost in eight OF the
Confederate capital Neither OF them seem to
snte rtain the slightest dasign Of attacking
their enemy, although it Is believed that both
are at least equal in numbers to the respective
force opposed TO them, aid fer superior IN
vaior. They seem bent on sdhering to the
policy which they have pursued from the be.
ginning of the war the policy of spsding and
ditching, Of raising works for the enemy to
shell, and of abandoning them as soon as the
shells begin TO fall. With them the whole war
consists in discovering means to avoid oat-
tie, and provided this can be obtained they
trouble themselves with very little eise.
Oar third army ia comparatively bat little
band Ia; it is band of heroes, and 1t is led
by a man who is himself the hero of the age
and country. Like Bonaparte IN Italy, JACK
son makes all depend upon energy, activity,
and the spirit which his own iron-wlii ana IN
domi,aote resolution has infused into his men.
Like Bonaparte, he never waits tor his enemy
to unite HE forces, and to attack him IN en-
trench ments. Like Bonapar:e, he makes &C

lu,ion the deficiency of equipments. lie At
