federate States closes its term of existence
with the present week 1t is impossible
for us to say whether the body has per-
formed its duty to the public or not for,
having always delberated with closed
doors, its officers and members alone are
the possessors Of its secrets The new
Congress will assemble on the 18th, next
Tuesday, on the 10Th the votes for Pre-
sident and Vice President will be count
ed, and on the 22d the President will be
inaugurated.
AN ADVANCE EXPECTED.
We have information which iustfes
the belief that the enemy contemplates
an early advance movement Of our lines
at Centrcvlle and Leesburg, and if this
weather should last many days, the roads
may soon be in a condition to justify the
movement. Are our forces in condition
and numbers to resist the fierce onset that
will be made We trust that the Gov
eminent is active. To be overpowered-
for that is the only contingency we fear
at Manassas, would be to US a terrible
event; almost irreparable in its conse-
quences Let the government look well
to this point and be on the alert. - Lynch
burg Virginion.
