refuge in the depth of the Arkansas forest, was
still confident Of the future, what ought to be
feeling in the Valley Of the Mississippi? If his

that beset him, shall we whose circumstances

Il Guerilla Var.

We cannot rely solely upon meeting this ov
erwhelmnng numbers upon fair field. We
must cut him off in detail. if possible. Our
sharp shooters must waylay and surprise him
whenever it is at all practicable. Our people
understand the country, and can in many cases
choose their own ground In the dehles of the
mountains and from the depths of our valleys,
we must pounce upon thieying hordes. If by
reason of their vast numbers, we cannot meet
them always in front, we can hang upon their
rear and destroy their trains, thus cutting off
their supplies. We can give them repetition
Of the French campaign in the Tyroi, where
the unseen nlarksmen wasted the ranks Of the
invader, and even women and children rolled
down rocks upon them. Or, like the flying Cos
sacks in the Russian war, our splendid horse
men can dash upon them daily aud waste tneir
ranks. This mode of war fare will fill the
Yankees with greater dread than the idea of Aav

know the advantage, And besides, it is the
only warfare we can wage constantly. Whilst
our recent recruits are being armed and drilled

would be y flank movement similar to that at
Fort Don elson, the prime object of which, af
ter the interruption of our communications,
would be to force Beauregard futher down she

Thus you will perceive the absolute neces'
sity Of maintaining our position at New, Mad

we should also loose the control of the White,

water highways would be disaster far greater
than the fall of Fort Donelsor and all the 9th

sion of the Arkansas river alone, with the MISS

have been thus particular in order that your
readers may appreciate the position Of affairs
in the West, and understand how important it
is that we should continue to hold the Mississ-
ippi river. Comprehending the exigencies OF
the situation, the people will the more readily
make these Efforts without which success were
impossible. The Southwest is now one vast
camp, and the tread of armed legions may be
heard throughout the length and breadth of the
great Valley of the Mississippi. Every town
and hamlet is responding to the call of the vic.
torious Beauregard, and if arms and ammuni-
ton were to be had in the same abundance as
volunteers, the advance Of the invader would
be stayed. We hope to be able to arrest his
footsteps any way, and to teach him that his
further progress can only be accomplished at a
cost Of rivers of blood. Never were a people
more aroused and resolute than those who live
in this magnificent valley. They are not only
turning out nearly their fighting population, but
their private arms also.

Zassoi,,g a Yankee.

The following incident related by . Tenn
essee paper, shows howa Texan can use his
lasso
Some days ago one of the Texan Ranger.
n Kentucky, whilst out ON a scouting expidl.
ton, rode suddenly and unexpectedly y, into the
presence of a Federal Picket. Before he had
time to cock, his trusty rife, the picket brought
his Minnie to bear on him, and ordered him to
surrender. The ranger felt that he was in
fx-he was fairly in for it, and couldnot do
anything more than to throw down, his gun
with the best grace possible. Having done so,
the picket stopped to get it, when, in an instant
the Rangers lasso was thrown around him, and
he felt himself dragged along as fast as horse
at full gaflop could carry him. The picket
yelled, but 1T was of no uss-the Ranger had
him to his hearts content the Ranger return
elk, got his own and picket's gun, and proceeded
with his prisoner into camp. The Yankee was
badly hurt in the dragging, but it taught him
useful lessen. When he gets loose, and
meets Ranger again, he will know something
of the ropes. esq :a. se.sstr szs4@,4s
