The Western Victories.

The successes which have attended our arms at the
West continue, and the results even greater than
the successes themselves. Fort Henry, Fort Donel-
son, Mill Spring have demonstrated beyond a shadow
of doubt two things which the rebels proclaimed
not demonstrable e-the bravery of Northeners and
the existence of Union spirit in the slave states
The question of relative manhood is set at rest for
ever, after the gallant bayonet charge Of the Ohio
regiment at Somerset, and the desperate yalor with
which the troops from Southern Illinois held their
own, through the weary hours of Saturday, the 18th
of February. In neither of these instances was it
preponderanea Of force which decided the result at
that particular spot and in neither of these instances
did the Rebels hesitate when once they discovered
they were fairly whipped-to yield. Let us hear no
more then of the superior bravery of the Southener.
Indeed the Richmond papers have already learnt the
lesson of the day. and acknowledge that they have
relied too much upon the cowardice of the enemy"
The other result accomplished by the battles in
Kentucky and Tennessee, is that the population of
these states is really waiting to back to its allie
glance. And not only Of those states; the revusion
extends over into Alabama-and by the very latest
dates we learn-to Mississippi. If reaction begins
in jeff Dayis's state it is fair to presume that it
is destined to be universal The patriotic spirit that
would not be smothered in Eastern Tennessee when
things looked darker, now breaks out clearly in the
light Of our successes; and volunteers are received
by the government; while a second gunboat expedi-
tion up the Tennessee River brilliant in its dis
coveries sits predecessor that stirred the coun-
try. Nashville and Columbus are now in our hands.
The Tennessee and Cumberland rivers are open to
free and unrestricted commerce, trade has begun
again between Nashville and New York, and every
proof Of loyalty is given by the people who have
so long heard were unanimous in favor of the re-
bellion.
The beginning of the end is surely evident for the
alacry with which generals advanced and follow
ed up these victories affords the best possible presage

OTTER ISLAND. An unfortunate circumstance oc-
CURED yesterday morning at Otter Island. Two
small parties of the 45th Pennsylvania regiment
went out to surround number of Rebels, supposed
to be lurking in the vicinity. They were led along
different routes by negro guides, but the guides were
stupid, and in the grey of morning, the two detach-
ments came upon each other, when one party fired;
two were killed on the spot Captain i. Y. Rambo,
and corporal, whose name we have not yet been
able to learn; two were severely wounded in the
lungs and unlikely to recover, and several others
were slightly wounded.

thoir brilliant movements at the West has reached

men, as household words The latest news from
North Carolina is that Brig. Gen. Huger has been
placed under arrest. While the Raleigh Reporter thinks
sthis too good too good to be true" the Men,
phs journals announce Floyd as traitor and scoun-
dre he is even twitted with the thefs which he per-
petrated the National Government in order to
recommend himself to the rebels.

The Reviews.

The Review of troops at Hilton Head on Monday,
March 8, was unanimously pronounced by old army
officers, of the finest they had seen. More than
regiment of volunteers extored from the regular
officers, this praise.
The inspection at Beaufort on the 9th was equally
satisfactory the three arms Of the service seemed
to vie with each other artillery, cavalry and infantry
manifesting the most gratifying improvement in drill
and discipline. 1t has always been said that volun-
teers the best material in the world for soldiers
has already been proven that the material required
working up; what results be attained when it is
worked up have been shown the world within the last
month at the West. The fact that the process of
working goes on herew evidenced by these reviews.
When the time comes for the army here to act
scale and in events commensurate with those that
have attracted the attention of the country elsewhere
the army here will be ready.

lu1otnatlOu concerning PUBIC DatterS at sne NOrn,
the movements Of the national armies and affairs
abroad, win be presented in condensed form, it is
true, but still We trust correct view of all important
affairs win be afforded. The dongs within this mill
tary command will of course receive due share of
attention; Port Royal, Beaufort, Tybee and Otter
Islands, and other places occupied by our forces will
not be neglected proceedings of every nature fit for
publication viii be chronicled; but none of our loyal
readers will complain if with hold any thing that
could by any chance prove Of service to the enemy.
The news of the feet however, the daily lite in camp,
the health of the command, and thousand other de-
tails viii at once suggest themselves proper subjects
for report. These matters it is hoped will prove of
sufficient interest to country at large for to rely
support from other quarters not altogether insig
nifcant.
And if an occasional copy of Union paper should
find its way to the deluded and unfortunate people with
whom We are contending, some idea of the hopeless
ness of their effort may be afforded them. When
they discover that the Unioniss are so firmly esab
ished here as to issue aud support newspapers, they
will admit that have no idea of returning; they
viii conclude that our occupation is not purely mill
tary one they will perhaps how desperate is their
own condition, and submit readily to the govern
ment which has never wished to do more than bring
them back to their allegiance but which is determined
to do that at every cost and at every hazard and if
need arises by the employment of every means.
