Rebellion at the Last Gasp.

Under this heading the New York Times has
a short article, which We copy below
The rebels are in movement along their entire
line, from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. The
attack mentioned this morning as rtpused byI
the Union troops at Bolivar, the previously re-
ported defeat VI Gen. Nelson, the advance OF
Brasg toward Western Virginia, the threatened
Investment OF Fort Donclson, are parts OF the
same daring strategy which places the nam az

The North WAS believed TO be weary q the war.
All the paupers who could be hired to fill the
ranks had been Obtained, there was no inrther
material for ounleers ana as .or the draft, 10
would meet with resistance almost everywhere.
Under these impressions the Confederate leaders
remained TRANQUILITY On the defensive untll their
error became PLAIN. Then, to strike before
those six hundred thousand men should take
the field, 10 extnguish the forces already at OF,
and carry the war as lar as practicable IRON

policy and the general onslaught was planned,

apparently an exhibition OF daring enterprise, Is
therefore nothing more than sheer desperation

SO that its miserable carcass will not have to

The same correspondent also makes the fol-
loving slightly premature boast
1T s undeistoo that the army in Virginia Is
to be divided between Generals Pore and Burn

CIellan. The order to this fleet has not yet
been issued but the facts that Il portion OF TIE
Army of the Potomac has been given TO Burn
side, and another portion to Pope, while Genera
Mcclellan has been directed or Is actually per
