soon osiour Geaedzs can getIready, very
formidable forward movement will be
made. ILet us be y thankful for the
promise. 1t shows that the Indignation
of the country is felt at last. 1t was.
perhaps, expecting too much of our
West Point Generals to suppose that
they would mar the beauty of a splendid
army by the smut and dust of an un-
s civil row with their old classmates, in
the service of our Southern brethren. y
War Literature in Washington.
During the holiday, week, lectures
were delivered gin ! Washington by
BRowNsoN, SToRRs, BAYARD TAYLOR,
alBANtBIa s. Dickinson and HORACE
GREELY.ss The theme of all of them
,ewasathe Mar, ,.the Union, the future of
the Country, &C., &c.; They all told of
the mighty power and resources Of the
! Government, and some. of them insisted
that we could whip the world sand the
rest of nrankind's without difficulty
ElAll this is pleasant enough to hear, and
read, sbutlthe ugly fact remains that the
ssrebels are unsubdued, and mo- man OF
ltsense doubts that if they are.not,, before
another six months, the nations of the
! earth will acknowledge their indepen.
ldence in spite of all our lecturing.

Alarm I'm Memphis.
The rebels in Memphis are most thor
oughly alarmed An address has just
been issued requiring every man, able to
bear arms, to enrol himself in the rebel
service. The address says that Mem
phis is threatened-thati it is the key to
the whole Mississippi Valley-that with
its capture, the cause of the South is
ost-that every man must fight to the
death-that the Union must not, and
shall not be restored-that the South
must either conquer the Union or per-
ish totally, for they never will permit
the continuance of the Union, and they
continue to live, &c, &c. If the chiv-
airy are in earnest, we suppose they will
destroy all their property. aud then
commit universal suicide, rather than

The telegraph from Washington an
nounces that Gen.. Lanes expedition
from Fort Leayenw orth is to be mag

troll. Lane proposes to demonstrate
/ with his Western crusaders that the re-
| bellion can be crushed, and the Union
restored. He has always claimed that
has method would do the work. We
hope it is true, as reported, that the Ad-
ministrdtion has agreed to give him an
opportunity to prove his pretensions.
Jim. Lane will not wait a year for trans
portation, nor touch the rebels with silk
/ gloves on. We have faith in Gen. Lane.
