A REBEL TRAP. Colds
borough remained on board the Phila-
delphia until the feet arrived at the
Marshes, whom he embarked on tho
Southfeld.
The Rebels had contrived an ingenious
sort of trap in the Sound, directly in
range of the three forts on the Island and
Robb's Fishing Battery on the main land
opposite. Quite number of sloops
and schoonsrs had been sunk in the
deepest water toward the island, while
farther across the Sound piles had been
ranged in such manner that our yes-
sells would be led into an arrangement
similar to ishdams with trap ut the
extremity, such as may be often seen in
country streams. Had our vessels
crowded onward not stopping to engage .
the lower battery, they would suddenly
have found themselves in huddle and
exposed to the fire of four forts and six
Rebel gunboats, which were stationed
just above this cheraur de:frisc, appar-
emily for the purpose Of tempting us up
that way This shallow scheme utterly
failed in its results, as our cautious COM
mauder did not intend to 60 any farther
than was necessary to get an opportunity
to chastise our pusillanimous foe.
AS the Southfel6 cleared the marshes
upon entering Croatau, she hoisted at
her peak the following signal: This
day our country expects every man to
do his duty" Within FIVE minutes it
was understood through the entire feet,
and, as the flagship. the Southfield was
thencsforward conspicuous in the an
gagemont.

Recent Victories.

Things look we'll. The victories Of the
past few weeks, secured by the Union troops,
have inspired the people OF the country with
renewed confidence in the invincibility of our
brave soldiers and sailors, and business which
before lsnguished, has received new mpct-
US. Smiling, cheerful faces are every where
visible. Not only have vigorous blows been
dealt at Rebellion, but they have been felt
equally by those foreign powers who seem
anxious to find some plausible excuse to in
terfere in our affairs This is well. Let US
alone and this rebellion will soon be on its
last legs."
Along our immense military line, extend
ing some fifteen hundred miles. active opera
lions are in progress. From Missouri we may
soon expect to hear of the signal defeat of the
rebel Price, and the complete expulsion of
his hortles from the State. In Kentucky our
forces are pressing so rapidly upon the rebels
that the latter have evacuated Bowling Green,
and fallen back to Nashville. Fort Henry,
on the Tennessee river, in Tennessee, is ours;
our gun boats have penetrated by means OF
that river, to Florence, Alabama. Fort Dom
Alison, on the Cumberland river, and the key
to Nashville, has been captured by the Fed
eral troops. Gen. Lander made reconnoi-
sance to Bloomery Gap, Va, and captured
seventy five rebels and drove the balance back
to Winchester. An expedition Of Federal
troops, from New Creek, under command Of
Gen. Dunning, visited Moorcfeld, Hardy
county, Va, and captured 225 head Of beef
cattle, and cleared the county of the robel
guerilas who have been quartered in that re-
gion for some time. At Manassas, the rebel
army is gradually melting away, its pres
ence being needed in other quarters. Beau
regard is now in command at New Orleans.
The left wing of the Army now extends far
Their down the Potomac on the Virginia side
than it has before, since the commencement |
of the war. On the coast Of North Carolina
Gen. Burnside has achieved signal victory,
in the capture of Roanoke Island, and de-
struction of the enemy's gun boats. Further
South our victorious troops are pressing upon
and it is already reported that that
city is now occupied by the Federal forces.
All in all, we have right to be cheerful. !

The AnacOnda's beings.

General Johnston, in command of the
rebel army Of the Potomac, has issued
an address to his soldiers, called forth
by the approaching expiration of their
term of enlistment. He wants them to
re-enlist at once, and in order to induce
them to do so, he draws an exciting
picture of the crisis in Southern affairs.
He says:
"The Commanding General calls upon
the twelve months men to stand by their
brave comrades who have volunteered
for the war, to revolunteer ut once, and
thus show to the world that the patriots
engaged in this struggle for indepen-
denoe will not swerve from the bloodiest
path they may be called to tread The
enemies of your country, as we'll rs her
friends, are watching your action with
deep, intense, tremulous interest. Such
is your position that you can act no obs
scure part. Your decision, be it for
honor or dishonor, will be written down
in history. You caInot, you will not
draw back at this solemn crisis of our
struggle, when all that is heroic in the
land is engaged, and all that is precious
hangs trembling in the balance"
The loud Wanting tone SO customary
with the rebel generals seems absent
from this. 1t partakes Of that spirit of
despair which prompted the recent ad-
dress of Cobb e. Co. to the people of
Georgia. Nor does General Johnston
leave his men in ignorance of what it
is that constitutes this "solemn crisis"
for he says ......
"Thc enemy has gathered up all his
energies for final conflict. His enor-
nous masses threaten Us on the west
his naval expeditions are assailing US
upon our whole southern coast; and upon
the Potomac, within few hours march,
he has gigantic army. inaamed by lust
and maddened by fanaticism.'
Johnston evidently has seen "tbo an. I
aconda" Of which we hear so much, aud /
does not by any means relish the aspect ,
of the amiable reptile Ho and the ed |
itor of the Richmond Examiner appear
to be of the same opinion, that this thing +
