THE Battlefield IN THE WEST.
Where is Fort DOnelSuH!

Perhaps some of our readers who do not
have access TO the late war maps, will be in
'crcsted in a brief statement of the situation
Of those points in Kentucky and Tennessee
which are invested at the present time with
so much interest.
BY looking upon map ofthese two states.
two large rivers will be noticed running
north. nearly parallel, across the western
part of Kentucky are the Tennessee
and the Cumberland. One thing that must
attract the notice Of every one is the fact of
nearness to each other of these great rivers.
Fort Henry. taken by our troops. is on the
Tennessee river, near the mouth of the Big
Sandy in the state of Tennessee.
Fo't Donelson. where the late great battle
was fought is on the Cumberland river. near
the town of Dover also in the state of Ten
nessee. and only about twelve or fifteen
miles from Fort Henry, in nearly an eas,erly
direction. 1t will be seen that our arnv.
having possession of this point. is on the di-
rect way to Nashville, which We have no
doubt they intend to take possession Of
They are also only twenty miles from Clarks-
vile, where the rebels are fortified to pro-
tect the railroad bridge on The Memphis and
Ohio railroad, the possession of which BY the
federal troops will cut off all railroad commu-
nlcatlon from the gulf states with the rebels
in that quarter
The Tennessee river is navigable about
300 miles, and it will be noticed in the war
news that the federal gunboats, after the
capture Of Fort Henry, passed up this river
into Alabama to Florence; and they were
not only not molested, but everywhere re-
ceived with JOY by the people along the shores.
Nashville is the head Of steam navigation on
the Cumberland river, and expectation of
course points TO this prominent place as soon
TO be occupied by Gen Grants division.
There are many things about this war that
must impress the careful reader; and one is
the magnitude of the field Of operations
kentucky and Tennessee, neither of which
has filled large space in this Union, now
spread out in mammoth proportions. The
more one studies the geography of his coun-
try the more IS he impressed with its great
ness. Perhaps comparisons will give bet
ter idea of the size of these two states. The
area of Kentucky is sufficient to make three
states aid one-half of The size of Vermont.
while Tennessee would make four states the
size of our own, and have considerable land
to spare. kentucky is loyal; east Tennes-
see is equally 50; and when the secession ar
my is driven from the western and middle
portion We shall see this noble state, the
home Of such noble men as Andy johnson,
redeemed and reunite4.

"MARCHING ON"

The war news this week is of great interest
and importance. The victories of the past
few days fully compensate for all previous
delays OF the campaigns. The stars onI
stripes nor rare or,J Fc1t Dpn,iyon! After
three days fighting, in which the creates,
val,r was displayed by our troops, this
stronghold was Obliged to surrender to the
gallant and irresistible soldiers of the West.
on Sunday morning.
The struss lie was long and desperate, and
doubtless the most bloody of the war: but
the blood of the great West was up, and
though the enemy was strongly entrenched
and fought like men who by the cause in
which they Were engaged had becomr despe-
rate. they were no match for the enthusiastic
boosters, suckers and buckeyes, WHO flushed
with recent successes, knew no such word as
fail. They charged right up 70 the enemy 5
batteries and sought handto- hand encoun,-

Floyd, The greatest traitor in the fort. made
tls escape Saturday night, together with Gen
Pillow and 1000 men. !, is said that his
own troops denounce Floyd as black-he
ed traitor to desert them in this emergency.
The importance of this victory can hardly
be over-estimated. Il is fitting triumph to
the work of the past week. The federal
troops can now have the run of the Cumber-
land river TO Nashville. and perhaps before
this is read the capital of Tennessee will be
IN our hands. Kentucky and Tennessee are
now nearly cleared Of rebels, and daylight is
breaking all around the western horizon.
During the long siege of Fort Doaelsoa
the country was wrought up to the creates,
degree of suspense and excitement. and when
that position fell into our hands with such
numbers of prisoners and vast amount Of
stores the rejoicing was so fervent that the
lesser victories Of Gen Burnside were for the
moment forgotten. The fact will not be lost
sight OF, however, that he captured, in the

Council of CensorS.

The Constitution of Vermont possesses
one feature in some measure peculiar. 1t
provides that at the end of each seven wears
there shall be elected council of censors
consisting of thirteen members, who shall
INQUIRE if the existing laws have been execu-
ted. the Constitution respected. and propose,
if they deem it expedient TO 10 SO. amend
men.s to the Constitution to be submitted
thereafter to delegates elected upon the same
basis as the general assembly. The last Lee
gislature provided that there should be an
election of thirteen members of the Council
on the last Wednesday Of March next.
The newspapers are discussing the mode
of nominating candidates; some propose
that the State Committees of the different
political organizations call a State nomina-
ting Convention others, that the nomina-
tions be by Counties, and others still would
have names announced in the newspapers,
and thus give the people perfect liberty to
vote for and elect such men as they should
consider the best. 1t does not matter great
" how the nominations are made, or how
numerous the list OF candidates, as the thir-
teen having the highest number Of votes
would be elected. We have no particular
mode of nominating candidates to suggest,
only to say that we shall be very likely TO
support the best men, and such as we think
will be disposed to decline calling Conven-
ton to amend, or to attempt TO amend, the
! Constitution Of the State, in the hope OF
avoiding an expenditure of some ten thou
sand dollars, which, doubtless, would no
more than cover thy expenses of the Con-
vention. We see no present demand for
amendments to the Constitution, waIran,ing
SO large an outlay, in the present condition
of the State exchequer.

4 Fitting Remembrance.

\ member Of the Vt. 4,h regiment who
went from Peacham. in this County. has been

DEAR SIR Allow me TO write to you 4
few words expressive of my deep gratitude
to You for Your exceeding kindness and I'M
weared attention and faithfulness to nv dear
brother during his long illness in Camp and
Hospital while in Virginia.
1t may seem TO YOU that words are of lit
tie value, and would that could convey ia
YOU at this time something of greater worth.
Bat there are times when words of sympathy
and love. or words of grateful remembrance
for kindly deeds. coming from a true and sin
cere heart, are not meaningless. when such
words may be of more value than costly
gifts
Dear sir, yours is noble work-kindly 10
care for those who are slcA and suffering in a
noble cause. but far away from home and
loving triends-hearest thou not the voice Of
our divine Master saving. "Inasmuch as We
did it unto one of the least of these uy
brethren ye did il unto me-" Nav Your life
and health be preserved amid such arfluous
duties and lorg life of usefulness and do
mes'ic happiness be vet in store for YOU.
Our life is but an handbread,h in compar-
lson with the vast eternity opening before US.
1t should be therefore of the irst importance
with US to live with this great end in view
and for the glory of God.
Permit me again to tender to You nv most
earnest and sincere thanks for YOUR great
kindness, and to hope that you may be among
that blessed number unto whom shall be pro-
nounced the joyful sentence. We'll done.
good and faithful servant. enter thou into the
JOY of thy Lord"
