Major General Mcclellan has placed him
self at the head Of his splendidly equipped
army of the Potomac, and in beautiful adj
dress tells his men that he intends to lead
them on TO victory The high state of dis
eipline of his army, and its burning desire to
meet the enemy on the field are, says the
General, the sure presages of success. God
grant that it may be so. If a brave leader,
at the head of large and completely ap-
pointed army, full of the love Of country and
an inordinate ambition to charge upon and
drive the reasonable foe ingloriously from
the battle field can forshadow any result, il
must be victory. Let us wait patiently and
hopefully for the moment when the terrible
blow shall fall; the reverberation of thu
sound of which is 10 announce to the conn
try and the world that secession is dead be

A late number of the Nashville Union and
American is very severe on the garrisons Of Forts
Henry and Donelson aud on the military evaoua-
tors Of Nashville. and publishes the following
rather significant notice
" Rsp. s, D. Bdidlcin, d. D.: Ii lie the ear

The general public are invited 10 hear the dis
course. The same paper has the following notice
which requires no explanations
"Those Of our friends arriving from the do
minions of King Lincoln who may have copies

THE WOMEN OF NASHVILLE AND THE
FEDERAL SOLDIERS.

A Nashville correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Times gives the following account of how 1ene-
raj Nelson intended to treat Secession woman,
who, in her enthusiasm for the rebel chief, over.
stepped her bounds of propriety. The corres-
pendent says:
For some unaccountable reason the women Of
this section do not favor the Northern soldiers
In theii march toward Nashville they were
frequently greeted by some female dweler by
the roadside with 'There goes the Yankees !"
'swe'll soor soon see another Bull Ran !" aud
other expressions not very complimentary In
Northern ears. On one occasion, as General
Nelson was riding at the head of his command,
one Of these female Secessionists thrust her head
from the window and screamed "lIurrah for left
Davis hmrah for JEFF Davis :"
This was too much for the General, aud riding
close 10 the fence, he shouted, MADAME, if You
repeat that again, Ill be cursedif don't quarter
a man 10 your house who is covered all over with
the smal.pox" This had the desired effect, and
the sdnlatsr OF JEFF Davis retired into ohscurity
until the soldiers were out Of sight.
But few women Of respectable character are to
be seen On the streets Of Nashville as yet. With
the advent Of the rebel forces the wealtbier Of
the Union families left, and on the approach Of
the Federal forces the indicators Of 'Southern
rights" took unto themselves wings and fed also.
The Unionists, however, are beginning to return,
and in some cases they do SO to find that their
premises have been oyerrun and their houses
despoiled.

HENRY EoKEL, ESQ.,,

DEAR SIR TO day is
the brightest, iairest, most genial of the
year, our streets again are fit for christians
TO walk and ride upon; the reign of mud
no longer fixes the bounds of our travels,
and hence everybody is out of doors enjoy
ing the glad sunshine, and welcoming the
Spring weather. Pennsylvania Avenue, al
ways the centre Of attraction is, to-day
doubly so, for the fairer portion Of creation
who crowd the sidewalks seem to bid fair to
out-number the Drawer portion who crowd
the broad street, with their serried ranks en-
route for secessia.
The loss of so many brave men in the
recent naval conflict cast deep gloom over
the faces Of the loyal people Of this city /;
yet, to-day every body looks in good hu-
NOR, because every body feels that the Union
is now safe beyond peradventure. And why
should they not MANASSAS is ours" Ma
nassas, the Gibraltar of the rebellion, Ma
and Beauregard have held high court for
almost year past is evacuated, ingloriously
abandoned to two regiments of Union troops
without a blow. And now full high advanc-
ed, the flag Of our country floats to the
breeze, where but yesterday the accursed
rag OF JEFF Davis shiftless dynasty insulted
high heaven with its dirty presence.
The sun of treason has set, the last streak
of twilight yet marks the horizon, in little
while, and all this damning plot will sink
beneath the waves of oblivion and in its
stead spring up new order Of things that
will cement the Union stronger than words,
yea, stronger than the Constitution.
Gentlemen just in from Manassas, bring
the ridiculous news that the rebels at thai
place resorted to the same Chinese gong and
grimace method of warfare that they did at
Munsons Hill, i. e. mounting hollow logs
on wheels, TO initiate flying artillery and
placing in position on the walls of their
deiences huge trunks of trees with the ends
painted black to resemble the muzzle of
cannon. Now we have a solution to the
stringent orders of Beauregard against adj
mission within mis- lines. 1t was to hide his
weakness, not his strength. Numerous let
tiers were found by our, troops, fresh from
the pens Of tho valiant eVacuators and

REBEL OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE

The following appears to be the official report
Of the first days operations of the Merrimac,
called by the r, bells, Virginia:
c. s. STEAM BATTERY 'VIR0INM,"
OF Sewell's Point March 8, 1862.
FLAo.0 OFFICER In consequence of the wound
Of Flag 0fficer Buchanan, il becomes my duty to
report that the Virginia left the yard this morn
ing at | l a. M, steamed down the river past our
batteries, and over to Newport News, where she
Engaged the frigates Cumberland aud Congress,
and the batteries ashore, and also two large
steam frigates, supposed to be the Minnesota
and Roanoke, and a sailing frg4te, and several
small steamers armed with heavy rifed guns.
We sunk the Cumberland, drove the Congress
ashore, where she hauled down her colors and
hoisted the white flag; but she fired upon US
with the white flag flying, wounding Lieut.,
Minor, and some Of our men. We again opened
fire upun her, and she is now in flames. The
shoal water prevented our reaching tho other
frigates. This, with approaching night, we
think, saved them from destruction Our loss
is two killed and eight wounded.
Two of our guns have the muzzles shot of, the
PROV was twisted, and armor somewhat damaged;
the anchor and all lag.slaffs shot away, aud
smoke-sack and steam-pipe were riddled. The
bearing Of officers and men was all that could be
wished, and in fact it conld not have been other
wise after the noble and daring conduct Of the
flag officer, whose wound is deeply regretted by
all on board, who would gladly have sacrificed
themselves in order to save him. We we're ac-
eompanied from the Yard by the Beaufort, Lieut.
