Vigorous War MOvements I'm PROGRESS

Our army and naval operations ere evil
IDENTIFY assuming formidable proportions and
great energy. Every department Of the ar.
my is now in motion. McClellan's troops
are moving against Lees great rebel army in
Northern Virginia and either an extensive
rebel retreat, or the most tcrrhc and impor.
tsnt battle Of the war will soon be heralded
from that quarter. Our preparations being
complete, the determination is to push against
the enemy with unremitting energy. They
will be defeated. Richmond will be captured,
and the scene Of operations will in all prob
ability be transferred south Of Virginia in
less than fortnight.
In Western Virginia General Cox has al
ready forced the rebel army to retreat, and
his army is now in a position to cooperate
with that of Mcclellan. e#-
The great army recently so bungingly
maragel by Buell., and now under the COM
mand Of the brave and heroic Rosccrans, is
moving southwark in pursa,i Of the cunning
rebels under Bragg. ana General Grants
army, which recently achieved such splendid
victories near Corinth, is also reported again
on the move outward, to engage the rebels
concentrated at Holly Springs. General
McClernand and Admiral Porter are also has
tening forward their military and naval prer-
arations to operate from Memphis ssuthward
and open the navigation Of the Mississippi to
New Orleans.
In Missouri and Arkansas, the armies un.
der Generals Steele and Schofeld are mov-
ing with energy. and we hear the notes of
victory from them almost daily.
In the meantime we are checrcd by the
news from the xtrcme South, that General
Butler has landed Federal farce at Pensa-
cola, that Admiral Farragut has captured
Mobile, that Galveston has been taken pos
session Of by Federal fleet, and that the
entire Gulf coast will soon be in cur unLis-
putcd possession.
A formidable feet Of gunboats, accompa-
MED by large land force, is now also or.
ganizing at New York with the intention,
no doubt, of capturing Savannah and Charles
ton.
Thus, taking comprehensive view of the
situation, the prospects look encouraging for
vigorous operations, and for an early sup
preston Of the rebellion. When all our land
forces and all our naval forces once get iuto
thorough and effective concert Of action, as
they soon will. the rebellion will be crushed
with suddcnness that will startle the world

GEN. ScoTr's PLANS As SEEN TnRoUGn
REBEL LENsEs.--The Richmond Enquirer
declares that il the plan proposed by Gen.
Scott to Buchanan--as developed in the
Generals recently published lctter-had been
followed, enc hundred thousand men would
not have been able to take the works, which
were subsequently, seized without any op-
position whatever, save at Fort Sumter. 1t
also processes to believe that, in the same
event, the Southern Confedcracy would not
to-day have been in existence.

SILVER IN CALIFORNIA to a
paper called the Silrer Age, published in Cal
Hernia, the product o: silver in portions of
that rich country, is immense It learns
from pretty reliable source that the Ophir
Company are shipping weekly, from their
works in Washoe county, the sum OF not
less than SEC, 900 in bullion, and some weeks
it amounts to nearly 100000 in value. At
this rate the yield Of the mine will probably
reach the enormous sum Of three millions of
dollars this year. The Age says there arc
hundreds of mines in that vicinity equally
as good, which are undeveloped, but which
only require the capital to make them yield.

GEN. POPE,s INDIAN CAMPAIGN

The st. Paul Pres of Tuesday contains ar
order from Gen. Pope, thanking Gen. Sibley
and those under his command for their sue
cessful expedition against the hostile Indians
He closes as follows:
Peace has been restored to the frontier Of
this State through the operations Of Gen. Sib.
ley, Col. Flandrau and others, engaged in the
campaign against the Indians, and it is hop.
cd that the large force which will be retained
in Minnesota and Iowa for operations sgains,
the Indians during the spring and summer
will completely prevent the recurrence Of any
outbreak in the future.
"The Major General Commanding antici-
patcd but shore tour of service in this De-
partment, when ordered to it, and he is graf
fled to have been here long enough to bear
testimony to tho gallantry and good conduct
Of the troops engaged in these Indian cam.
paigns.
"Should he be called away before the open
ing Of the campaign in the spring, he feels
assured, from his knowledge Of the troops Of
this State, that the subsequent operations
for the entire suhjugation Of the Indian tribes
will be conducted to tho satisfaction Of The
Government, and to the prosperity and sccu-
rity of the State"

We shall probably soon have stirring news
from the Carolina coast, and all along the
shore. In fact, We have beginning in dis.
patch from Beauregard at Savannah, who
says they were rcpuised to their gunboats,' ~
adds that " our cavalry are in hot pursuit
of the gunboats, of course. lie s,ys that
the Charleston Railroad was uninjurcd. -
There is undoubtedly great alarm among the
rebels; Beauregard was sent there few
weeks ago to take charge Of tho coast dsfens
es, and we have had accounts Of many troops
moving in that direction. What has been
done on our side will probably be very soon
developed, through some more trustworthy
channel than the dispatches of general who
has been for more than year endcavoripg
to water his horse in the Ohio or in hell and
is just now chasing iron.clad gunboats with
cavalry.

! How THE Work OF ABOLITION Co.'s Or
Since the occupation Of Winchester by the
Federal army, (says the Baltimore Rspubi-
can, J large number Of slayes have been in
weighed from their owners, and some two hun
dred sent down the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, and through this city to Philadelphia
These decoyed slaves were passed over the
roads by Federal officer as employees Of The
Government What they arc going to do with
these negroes at the North us Government en-
ployees it shard to conjecture. Judging from
what we have seen of the treatment of negroes
in Northern cities, we have no doubt these
poor wretches, who we're comfortable at home,
well fed and clothed by their masters, will be
left to starve in the cold and inhospitable
cline to which they are being carried. While
the fanatics o: Congress are busy concocting
laws for the emancipation Of the negroes, the
army othcers-wITHoUT LAw-are taking all
they can get, and either keeping them for their
own service, or sending them to their abolition

5zsS~ The London Times has another article
on the victory at Fort Donelson. After speak
ing of the sudden change from dependency
to exultation, the Times pronounces il sub
stantial victory, well planned, we'll won, and
bravely contested" But the error Of the
Northerners is, we are told, to be over san
guine. Instead of using il as a basis of
peace, they accept it as an omen of entire
conquest The intrinsicYalue Of the victory,
if the South is in earnest, it is contended, is
no more in respect to the conquest of the
Southern States than would be the capture
Of fort on the banks of the Danube towards
the conquest of Europe a 1t is but
as the irst mile stone from London towards
Exeter" Finally, the Times argues that a if
the North be wise it should make the moment
of victory the moment for oYertures of peace, {"
and points out, as a fact to be well consider
cd, that with their credit strained, their rev.
enues pledged, their treasury drained, and
the whole power OF their fighting men called
out " they do not. after ten months effort to-
wards the conquest of half a continent occupy

Ms- We are informed that, on Thursday Of
last week, Robert W Carter, ESQ, one of the
School Commissioners, called on the Presi-
dent Of the Board of County Commissioners,
and requested permission to examine the law
affecting the public schools, passed by the last
Legislature. The County Commissioners were
then in session, for the purpose of appointing
new Board of School Commissioners, under
the new law, and had copy Of the law before
them, which was the only one in town Mr..
Carter stated his object was to inform himself,
as public officer, of what the law required
at his hands, in order TO conform to its pro-
visions. The President of the County Com
mssioners, after having consulted the Board,
Informed him that the law was prirate law.
and his request could not be granted. On
Tuesday last, the old Board of School Commits
sioners held a meeting, in this place, and sue
ceedcd in getting a sight of the new school
law. We are informed that the law does not
go into operation until the first of June, and
is so full Of blunders, that il may well be
termed monument of legislative folly. One
of the most glazing absurdties is, that it did
not pass the Legislature until two days after
the time its provisions require the County
Commissioners to appoint the School Com
missioners. One probable result of this law
will be TO throw the entire school system into
great confusion

Letter from Frederick.


Correspondence Of lie Baltimore Republican.
Frederick, March 81, 1862.
MEssRs. EDIToRs: | am enabled, through q
near relation Of mine, who has just returned
from Virginia. TO give you as near as he could
remember them, the facts from Gen Jackson
official report of the late battle near Winches-
ter. The Confederate General SAYS that on
Saturday morning, the 22d, Col Ashby's ca
yalry, with four pieces of artillery, commence
ed the attack on the Federal pickets. and kill
ed some of their men and wounded others.
among them Gen. Shields, who immediately
come upon the iield--also capturing $50 pri-
soners.
On the same day Gen. jackson started from
New Market for Winchester, with 9, TIC men.
and arrived on the ground where he fought
the battle Of Sunday, with but 2400, 3lG OF
his men having given out on the road from
the exhausting effects of forty-two miles
forced march. Col. Ashby lost two pieces Of
artillery on Saturday, and jackson says he
captured on Sunday nine pieces Of artillery,
and l05 prisoners, in addition TO those taken
by Col Ashby.
He states the Federal loss in the two actions
at 700 killed and 800 wounded, and 255 pri-
soners. lie puts the Confederate loss at three
hundred and eight in killed, wounded and
missing.
From information which | have received, /
think Jackson has much under estimated the
Federal loss. What, ! assure you | deem re-
liable authority, places the total loss at near
three thousand. This may seem incredible
but do not 90 off half cooked and it is true
or ] would not send it to you. suppose you
have read the account in the papers, on sa-
turday, of Ashby's throwing shell into the
Federal camp, at Strasburg, when it was sta
ted two men were killed and two or three
wounded.
The truth of this matter is, that near 300
were killed and wounded.

Dis> The steamer Jura arrived at Portland
on Monday last, with ad vices from Europe to
the goth ult President Lincoln's emancpa-
ton message had just been received in Eng
land, and had attracted much atteafion. The
Liverpool Post eutertains no doubt that it
will be Of great service in Europe to the North
ern cause. The London Times rega4ds it as
the mostimportant news received abroad since
the split The object of the message, in the
opinion of the Times, is TO recover the border
States TO the Union; but the proposition is
regarded as important solely and simply be-
cause it is a proposition, and not because il
is likely to be accepted. Attention is also
called to the fact that the only reply of the
South has been resolution Of the Confeder-
ate Congress, TO burn all cotton and Tobacco
that may De in danger Of falling into the
hands Of the invaders.

fD- The correspondent of the New York
Tribune gives very lugubrious account OF
WinchestcF and its inhabitants When the
Federal soldiers first entered that city, we arc
told that they were given the articles they
wanted without money" More recently,
however, they have had to pay for whatever
they reqnirc-are scowled at or sneered at by
some of the boldest spirits, and, las gene
raj thing, the natives shun the invaders
those who do not do it on principle, making
it their policy" If this statement be true,
Winchester, like Nashville, must be very
unpleasant place Of sojourn for Federal troops
and Federal officers and employees.
