u SUCCESSES.

The success Of our armies on almost every
field within the past month OF two is not only in
the highest degree cheering, but such as almost
to overwhelm Us with joy and thankfulness-
The enemy have been repulsed with heavy loss
at all points, aud is now threwn upon the defen-
sive, f~ortifying himself on his own soil against
the onward progress Of our forces. Washington
City is trembling, and Cincinnati as well as
Louisville are now doubtless seriously threat
enod
Particulars are slow in reaching US, but
enough has been received to convince US that
both Tennessee and Kentucky, and probably
Maryland, viii speedily be freed from the pres
ence Of the Federal armies. This of itself viii
add at least one hundred thousand men to our
forces, and thus enable our generals to follow up
their successes and carry the war into the
enemy's country.
The occupation Of Cincinnati by our army
viii put the enemy who occupy our cities on
better behavior than they have heretofore ex-
hibited, as it viii enable US to r~etaliate for ILL
usage and mslTeaanent. The prospects before
Us are in fact encouraging in every respect, and
augur well for our ultimate success. The North
is / beginning 10 feel sorely the burdens Of the
war, and. if we are not mistaken, win ere long
manifest a disposition to put a stop to further
bloodshed in her vain efforts to restore and pre-
serve The Union. The war party there will find
themselves IN the minority before the Christmas
holidays; and the great effort of the South now
should be TO put herself in a position 70 demand
and obtain q favorable and equitable treaty. To
this end let the people rally eheerfally to the
support Of the government and the assistance Of
our generals in the field. The fortunes Of wal
are now with Us, and we only have to seize
upon the tide in order to be waited on to a sue
eessfl and glorious triumph.

AmrIELFnpRRss

Upon palpable misconduct of the war, or in
criticisms upon the policy Of the abolition admin
i@stration, the press of the boosted free North has
recently become Significantly silent. The arrest
of a few members Of the " fourth estate " has
almost sealed the lips of the balance, and even
GREELEY, the head of abolition journalism, is
threstened, and has been compelled to succUnb
to the mere viii Of the powers that be.
The Chicago Times, bold and outspOken as it
has formerly been, has suddenly become weak
kneed. After admitting the Federal defeat be-
fore Richmond, the editor says: 1--WE do nOtnow
discuss the causes Of the catastrophe, because,
with the light before US, ace could not do so i0ith-
ont reflections upoa members Of tie administration
at Washington In thus retaining the admis-
sion is raa5e that fsar is the controlling motive,
for it is honestly added: " Considering the extra
ordinary measures VITA which the freedom Of
the press is threatened, we are ignorant as to
how far we might indulge such reflections Oitb-
oa i~nourriag The penalty Of suppression"
This is, indeed, a humiIiating confession to be
made by an " Independent press and one we
were not prepared to see made in the quarter it
came rom. It demonstrates, however, the ex-
tent Of. the power which the abolition rulers have
assumed and the rgor with which they exercise
it, and should make every Southern heart glad
at our escape from such q reign Of terror,

RESISTING TYRANNY-The New York En-
press states that as soon az Gov. o.den, of New
Jersey, heard Of the arrest of a citizen Of that
State, a Mr.. Wall, he inquired of Lincoln the
charges preferred against The prisoner. The re-
ply, it is stated, was " treason" Gov. older
then sent a telegram to the government, declaT-
ing chat tie arrest or incarceration Of any citizen
Of New Jersey, without having proper charge:
preferred against hin, and an opportunity fol
bis defense was against tho laws of the State
that Mr.. Wall should be the last man arrested
under the circumstances and that, if necessa-
ny, he should call out, the whole militia OF the
State to prevent the execution Of such an Ordel
Of arrest.

One honest Federal editor may be named, n
the gentleman who conducts the Chicago Times,
He evidently views current events from a stand
point as unpreiudicsd SIS it is possible for a de-
ro.ed constitutional Union man to attain in that
section, and does not hesitate to give expression
70 Lis conclusions. In bis issue of the 5lhs with
all the lights before him. he says unreservedly f.;
i" Is useass for the press to seek 70 disguise that
.r is appareut to s1eryBody, ri=, that our 1.-THE
Federal army hare been cery thoroughly 1stiPPed
IN TTrriaia. and compelled to resort to the tOTt.f-
ozti0as at HashirgtOa for SAFETY" They are
back. sare those teEo hG5e been lost, to the places
which they left last February"
The only excuse the Times offers is that
"fhay Ithe Federal forcesl have been whipped
by forcs Of superior numbers, and superior gen
eralslip." If both propositions are true, their
defeats are not yet ended Our superior gen
erals are yet in the field, and the thousands who
are docking 20 the standard Of the Confederacy
from every section viii keep our army large
enough to accomplish still more glorious results
Whenever another "on to Richmond" move
ment. OF invasion Of our soil, is attempted.
With the grand army" occupied for the pro
fecion of their Capital, its scattered detaeh-
msnts can soon be driven back from their plum
der;ng expeditions, and Southern soil freed from
Their hated presence forever. The excuses the
Times offers for the defeat il admits, are really
encouraging to the friends of the South.

Government Wagon Train Destroyed BY
EueFPfIlas.

From the Cincinnati Commercial, September 81
Information reached the military Authorities
yestesterday that a band o. guerrillas, about
eighty strong, had attacked a wagon train on
the Lexington turnpike, at a place called Crows
Pond, five miles beyond Florence and sixteen
miles from Covington. One report states that
thirty two wagons were burnt-seven of which
were loaded with clothing, and the others
empty. The mules, about tEo hundred 10 num-
Der, were carried of by the guerillas. The
teamsters, it appears, had encamped for the
night near the pond, when spies gave informs
ton to a party Of rebel borsemen, at the town Of
Union, Of their Whereabouts. who came at a late
hour and destroyed the wagons. The teamsters
received an mixing Of their coming in time to
make their escape. The train, we learn was on
It's way from Lexington to this city, having
been turned back when tho evacuation OF that
city was decided upon. Another report Of the
affair is that only seven wagons were burnt.
The latter account Is moss probably correct.

THE SITUATION a. CINCINNATI.


Cor lstest advices are contradictory OF the IN
tsligenee We published Monday evening-tels-
grapded Us from the Memphis Argus Of Sunday
10 the effect that a bsttle had been won in the
vicinity of C~ovington by General KIRBY SMITH,
on tue 4th. and that on the 5.h Re had demanded
the surrender Of Cincinnati. The telegraph to-
day brings US an article from the Cincinnati
Commercial, Of the 9th, which, although sensa-
dOual, probably gives the correct position Of
General SMITH at the hour named That he IS
being heavily reinforced by Kensnckisns IS
gratifying; and these, added to his present force
and The veterans knoBnt to be on their way to
his assistance, VIII yet enable him to accomplish
all thas has been pTemsturely announced.
The bombast Of the Commercial, about the
general uprising in, and rushing from, the
Northwest is /" sound and fury" The lie was
frss circulated to create this enthusiasm, if pos
sible. Such troops, however, viii not avail

claim to the title, being plain colonel, but ana
doubtless the officer alluded to. Some journal
lauded me during the late White river expedi

General Lee censures me for the same supposed
