Progress of the War.

Our last advices from the East, by telegraph,
give very encouraging accounts Of the steady
advance of the Union cause and the gradual
closing in of the Gordon of troops upon the
lines of the rebels. The sealing of the harbor
Of Charleston by the Stone Fleet" has been
a success, that will forever close that traitor
port to the commercial world, and give to the
world an example of retribution visited upon
the tory State of South Carolina, called forth
by her own treachery in leading this civil war
against the Constitutional Government of the
country and inaugurating heresies in politics
that viii forever destroy the democratic form
OF government
The victory Of Gen. Thomas over the rebel
Zollicofer, at Somerset. gives our troops on
that part of the line, an opening into East
Tennessee, where there are thousands Of Union
men who viii join our army and insure that
State to her original position in the Union.
The Secessionists hereabouts, doubt the abIl.
ity of the Federal troops to take Columbus and
pass Pillows chain, across the Mississippi, at
Memphis but We opine that their fortifca-
tions will not last as long as at Manassas, for,
if attacked by land, and the gun-boat fleet on
the river, it will find the latitude too warm
even at this season of the year-tor the good
of their health.
A new order of things now appears in the
military department of the nation, and from
the commencement Of Secretary Stanton's ad
ministration of the military bureau, we predict,
in a short period, the crushing out of the rebel
lion, successfully, and the speedy return of the
disafected States to law and order If foreign
Powers will only remain as they have promised
to, for few months longer, our loyal people
need have DO fear as to the successful final re-
suit Of the Union cause.

An ATTACK UPON GEN. HALLEcK-wHAT
DOES IT MEANT

The InteNigener of yesterday has an elabo-
rate review Of the Virginia campaign, nearly
a column and half long, endeavoring to es-
tablish the following points:
That If Gen. Mcclellan had been reinforced
at Harrison's Landing, with twenty or thirty
thousand men, he COULD have taken Rich.
mond;
That he was overruled by Gen. Halleck;
That Gen. Haleck is responsible for the
plan of campaign actually adopted, and which
according to the Inteliigeneer, crowded into
Washington, a few days ago, two dispirited
armies-that of Gen. Pope, dispirited by de-
feat, and that of Gen. Nc Clellan, dispirited
by The humiliation Of q foiled and abandoned
expedition;
That the plan Of campaign actually adopted
was contrary to principles laid down as fun
damental by Gen. Halleck, in his published
book upon military tactics;
That after our armies were thus disorgan
lied and demoralized by the results Of Gen
Hallecks policy, it was Gen. Mcclellan who
restored its confidence and led it to succe ,s
iul battle at Sharpsburg.
Politicians will be at no loss to understand
what all this disparagement of Gen. Halleck
and laudation Of Gen. Nc Clellan, are intended

This little volume is gem 10 itself, and like
all Of Ars. Denisons works, thrillingly inter-

Mrs Denison has chosen In this volume Ia
draw her characters from that profession which
has hitherto been, SO far as W. know, entirely
overlooked by the novelists. In delineating the
internal, social and moral life of the musician
she has found, Is we judge, 9 most fruitful
theme for romance, and she has certainly
brought to every readers comprehension and
understanding the hitherto unconsidered fact
that there ara ever within the domain Of the
musical world, persons of as noble lives, Of Q,
pure morals, and Of as heavenly mould, as can
be found in any department Of this munasns
