IHE ERAasKC ASPECT,

= THE E1MMENT Aspect.
The country has most encouraging dgns

thing that the rebels viii put in opposition:
and We arc impatient only for the day in
which, on fair field, the valor Of cur
l1oo2s can be tried.
Gen. Grant, though opposed BY force
upquestionably superior in numbers to his
own, il preparing to- blow that VIII

recent 1ctgograde movement; but arc con-
tent to belierc iant i. vas made with suf-
ficient reason and from prudential con-
sidcrations that the facts Of the situation

strength; but We do know the men Of

and are starTed into surrender, there arc
no, rebels enough in the Southwest to beat
them. The yictors Of Fort Donc1son,
Shiloh, Iuka aud Cor;atll, know how to
take care Of themselves.
Gen lscsec1aus hiss the art Of keeping his
own secrcts, and We know little Of his pro

csusslcss retreat Should he reach Decatur,
lie will be within long supporting distance
Of Gen. Grant, and in case Of necessity the
commands can cooperate, and in such
overwhelming strength as to make resist

Thus il will he seen that al three Of our
great armies are on the move, the head
