A Good Hit at the specials"

"TuE PRospEcTs, &c. We have means
Of knowing that our troops in and about
Washington number pol ,9775, mostly men,
women or children. But should the num-
ber fall below this, it can readily be in
creased, in the course of time, from the
Northern or Christian States. There are
saveral cannon, if not more, in possession
of this grand armee (Frencby.) Perhaps
these NAV be used, as likely as not, against
the rebels, if they knock many more chips
from the shoulders Of Major-Gcn. Geo. Is.
| Mcclellan. He has piercing gray eye, ot
a mild blue color, and slight mustache on
| his upper lip, of hair. Being man OF IN
dom t ,hle energy, he usually gets up before
breakfast. 1t is probable that the men are
in good condition, aud the country need not
be surprised to hear, at any time, that they
have good appetites, which augurs well for
the great good cause. "Mao" remarked the
other dav. in his wonderfully terse manner,
that he would willingly live five years be-
vond his allotted time, if the rebels would
only give him good chance to whip them
soundly. This, of course, indicates speedy
advance as we have constantly predicted Ior
weeks. And, mark our words, if we don't
whip them next time, they WILL in all prob
ability, beat us again.
TIus,.as We have shown, the prospects arc
golden. We have means Of knowing that
the plan Suggested Oy usl is as folows-a-
though according to agreement, we must re-
quest our readers not to mentson II. Inc
great Naval Eexpedition is to proceed to
Florida, and break off that doomed PENN
su,ated State of Socessia, and tow it around
and place it in the mouths Of the mississippi
Talk of your paper blockades-this will
dam up the aged Parent Of Waters, and the
, back water will overflow and drown ou
Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas. Il
will be accomplished under direction O
Gen. Squech. A force of 100000 meF
will also leave for the Pacific coast, ant
marching via California, Pixies Peak, Kan
sas, Missouri and Kentucky, enter Virsini'
and attack the rebel army in the rear.
both these two plans fail, either the slaves
, will be declared free or the masters declared
slaves. Meanwhile, it is highly probable
that Fremont, being so far removed from tb
! influence of New York papers, will los
9 Missouri If he hasn't had men and arm
and transportation enough, he's no General
We expect he'll take care of every point il
! Missouri drive back all troops from Arkan
sas, Texas, Tennessee, and at the same tim
give us lift in Kentucky and at Washing
ton. And he has no right to make a blum
der or meet with disaster; if he does, super
sede him, and put him to school on the 10
tomac, where such things are unknown
In conclusion, We may say that we shoul'
}, not be surprised to learn that something vii
turn up somewhere sometime. We arnt in
: clined to particuarize but the country ma
Q expect whatever event things may seem
. warrant, in the direction indicated, &C.
3 And in any event, and under all circum
Il stances, we hope, should nothing prevent
that this will prove true; we shall see wha
u we shall see, be the same moro or less.
