We have, BY way of Chicago, important
news from the Valley of the Mississippi. Gen.
Grant who had pushed some distance beyond
Holly Springs and the Talahatchie, has re-
crossed that river and is supposed to be fixing
upon Memphis as his base. This movement
was doubtless caused by the difficulty Of keep
ing supplies within reach, and the possibility
that the Rebels lowering north and east Of
him might succeed in destroying his CON-
mgnications altogether. Our dispatch says
that tie main BODY Of Gen. Grants army
had, some days since, arrived at Holly
Springs On the Goth, the Rebels attacked
small Union force ct place below Grand
Junction, near Ito Mississippi line, but were
repulsed, leaving - dead and 30 wounded
Our l)ss was trifng. j was believed that
portion Of the forces OF the Rebel Gen. Van
Dorm were between Bolivar and the Mississippi,
position almost directly in Gen. Grants rear.
We had Information some days ago Of move.
ments which appeared to place Gen. Grant
in IN extremely critical position. The
Rebels had burned the bridge over
the Obion River, taken Union City, and
were threatening Columbus. They
subsequently made q foray upon Holly Syringe,
nd destroyed there large amount OF cotton,
ammunition and Government stores. If our
later news is correct, we may conclude that,
with the proximity Of support from TIC fleets
in the Mifsissippi, Gen. Grants army is safe.
But all the country north and east OF him,
around Cornth and Jackson, is comparatively
at the mercy of the Rebels while Gen. Rose
Grams seems TO be fast locked up at Nashville.
We have also, from the same source, ru-
mors OF the ascending feet Of the Banks Ex-
petition, comprising both land and naval
forces--the latter commanded By Admiral
larragut. Port Hudson, Il strong Rebel position
Oh the east side OF the river, between Baton
Rouge aud Bayou Sara, had fallen into Union
hands, and the feet when last heard from was
within twelve miles of Nichsburg. That
stronghold will coon he attacked with reasona-
bic advantage, there being sufficient land
force to DO good share OF the work.

RETALIATION.

The British aristOcratic journals make them
selves unhappy over the fate of the ten Rebel
guerrlllas shot at PALMYRA, Mo, by Gen. Mcneil,
in retaliation for The abduction and murder
of Alsman. Tie Sqadard (LOndOn) chGrac-
terizes il as ".hat asocious murder of Pal
myra, for which egen Tire Duly Ne,oS fails TO
find any excuse or palliation." The Times
says: " The greatest excess of all was the
murder in cold blood by Gen. Mcneil of those
ten men in Missouri" Here then, BY the
concurrent testimony OF our foreign enemies,
is the strongest case OF violation of the
hummer usageo of war by the Unonists.
Must they not be aitonished when they find
that Jef. Davis, in the Proclamation of Muir
der which they are foroshadOwing, IS utterly

A PEEP INTO THE FUTURE.

We have always felt that, should the slave
holders succeed in securing the independence
of their Confederacy, their sympathlzers in the
Free States would at once commence an
agitation for tho secession of their several States
from the Union, and then to hitch them on
behind the car of the triumphant Slave Power.
We did not suppose that they would come out
openly till after Disunon Peace; but it seems
that their impotence overpowers their discretion.
We copy the following from the editorial
columns of late Albany Argrs:
SPECULATIVE uPoy THE FUTURE OF The UNION.
The Democrats of Huntington County, Indiana,
held mass convention on the 9th Of December, q,

MAKING .HsE.ll PAN,

One OF tho powerful incentives to Secession.
o. at least to acquieecence IN tie action Of
their leaders, on the part o, large class in
the south, was ,be hole that, once ous Of tie
Union, tho enormous debts due to Northern
merchants by tho South would bc Cancelled or
repudated. Bat wherever the power of the
Union pene'ratcs, these would.be cheats are
brought up with q round turn. Gen. Butter
obliged the Rebel merchants in Now-O Orleans to
Iiquidate their indebtedness to loyal men upon
demand, under pain Of seizure and sale OF
their stocks in trade. Gen. yicle, Military
Governor Of Norfolk. has just adopted the
same course. In the case OF John n. Cooke
& Co. OF Norfolk, debtors to j. X. .Jalray &
Soma of this city = the amount of 81, 100 81,
which debt was .tpnciated by the debtors, on
