WHAT THE YANKEE CAVALRY. INTEND
TO Do-ARE WE READY FOB THEM 2-The
following is an editorial from the Nashville
Union-a vile Abolition sheet edited by a
tool of Aidy johnson, Mitchell, and others
of that fendish pack Of enemies to the hu.
man race. We call upon the people of,the
country-every man who can shoulder a
gun-to be ready, and when the scoundrels
come to give them no quarter:
"The Southern harvests are said to be
Aourishing. Now let our cavalry, of which
we will soon have an immense force, des'
troy these harvests in all directions, to such
an extent as to make them valueless for
supplies for the rebel army. The negroes
will be the very ones to aid our expeditions
in this work, Had the advice. we urged
upon our military authorities been adopted
last summer, there would have been no reb.
ell raids into Middle Tennessee, this side of
Shelbyville, forprovisions; for there would
have been, none worth coming for. Let
our troops destroy all stores which they can
not use. To spare them is toleaye shem'
to feed the rebel armies. We, must burn
out treason with fire and then drown its
embers in blood" i.

SINGULAR DIsoLosURE-ssP. W. A."
writing from Richmond to the Savannah
Republican, says:
It is said that General Lee is more than
usually reserved in regard to his. future
plans and operations. He has been con.
strained to adopt this course in consequence
Of certain disclosures recently made by
Mcclellan. It appears that General D.
H. Hill, during last years Maryland cam
paign, dropped in his tent, probably when
he retired from Boonsboro Gap, Lees gen.
eral order to his corps and division com.
manders, in which he set forth the whole
object and plan of his advance across the
Potomac, and that this paper was found
and carried to Mcclellan.
In this way, it is alleged, the Federal
commander was informed of the strength
and disposition of our forces, and knew that
D. II. Hill, with his single division, was
left to hold the gap at Boonsboro, whilst
Jackson had turned off to Harper's Ferry,
and Lengstreet had taken position neas the
Pennsylvania line at HagerstoWn. This
disclosure explains the rapid movements of
Mcclellan, and the confident manner in
which be followed us up and delivered bat
tie at Sharpsburg. Without this know
ledge, it is not probable he would have
sought General Lee SO soon and so eagerly;
and thus the latter would have had more
time to concentrate his forces, rest his
troops, and prepare for the conflict. We
can never know what would have been the
result if that order had not fallen into the
hands of the enemy; and yet it's not i'm.
possible, had it not reached the Federal
General, that We should this day be in Ma
rylaud.

fields. He would have Joined the main

fields. He would have Joined the main
body of the army in which still moved
those gallant spirits-Stevenson, Bowen,
Lee, Green, Reynolds, Benton, and other
braves, but be could not He did the next
best thing: afterssaving q retreatiDg army,

own command. =7t.t-Sas,
+ By this movement the enemy got posses
sion of the ford, and, although the remain
der Of the army had succeeded in crossing,
Loring's division was cut off,.
In this dilemma nothing was left but for
him to make flank movement. He had
with him an experienced and intelligent
guide, and accordingly moved to the left Of
the road, intending toatrike ford some
three or four miles further down the stream
that; ford furnishiags the only. possible
outlet BY which he could, with his division,
rejoin The main body Of the army. The
darkness Of the night and the extreme faint
ness Of the trail by which they were NOV
ing, caused the guide to lose the point for
which he was; aiming, and the division
moved Oh, after Loriug had satisfied himself
that all the roads leading to Edwards de-.
pot were in possession Of the enemy. The
flames in the direction Of Edwards depot,
too, showed plainly they we're iu possession
of that point.
The divisions of Stevenson and Lee
noble, gallant men-fell back upon Big
Black bridge, within their entrenehments,
and rested for the night. The next morn
ing the enemy in large force, determined to
press their advantage to the. utmost, attack
ed us there, and after about two hours hard
fighting, carried the position by assault.
Our army then retreated to Vicksburg,
where they were surrounded, and the task
Of taking that devoted place began on Mon.
day afternoon last, resulting SO far, in a
most disastrous failure.

SUBSTITUTES From 8 private letter
shown as from an officer, says the Columbus
Times, in service in Virginia, We learn il Is
quite difficult matter to geta substitute
into Gen. Lees army to what it used to be.
Before any substitute is accepted, the docl-
ments have to gobefore Gen. Lee, who has
serious objection to man over 45, or
exchanging we'll drilled aud5tried soldier,
who is physically able 70. remain in the ar
my, fora man over the age, new to service
and of doubtful ability, physically. This
rule, though, in some instances, may disap-
point, and seem to operate hardly upon
those veterans who have SO nobly stood By
their country, is an excellent regulation,
and will serve to make more idle beds in
our hospitals.
