Horace Greeley.

The time is up with Horace Greeley. Some two or
three months ago. he declared in print over bis own
name, that IT, by May were not whipped at FrCder-
icksburg, Charleston, Tullahoma and Vcksburg or in
three out of four battles to occur at those places he
would be ready to advocate the abandonment of the
contest and peace on the best terms they could make
with The time has come, and we have not been
whipped at any of those places "on the contrary,
quite the reverse" Will Horace now be as good as his
word. He has credit with many people for honesty
and sincerity The occasion puts these qualities to the
test. We are curious to see how be will meet il.

The Post Of Honor.

Prisoners captured In the battle of Charlottesville
say that the Yankee Generals put in front in the fight
the regiments whose terms of service we're about to ez-
pre. The same thing was done in the battle of Fred
ericksburg with the Pennsylvania Reserves" BODY Of
men who enlisted for the rear If they could only get
Sanbo to take musket they would keep him in front
all the time. With officers and armies actuated by SEN
tments Of cbivay the post of danger being the post
of honor is always contested for by the brayest With
the Yankees, it is awarded to the least trusted and
most worthless This, though, is perhaps necessity,
they need their puckiest in the rear to keep the
others from running.

John Van Buren, writes to the New York
Herald as follows:
New YORK, March 9, 1861 have Just re-
ceived the enclosed letter from General Nc
before Vicksburg. Although it is not inten-
ded for publication, the action of Illinois dem
ocrats excites so much attention that l think
the views OF General McClernand ought to be
made public. He commanded the Illinois
troops at Fort Done lson, has served several
terms in Congress, and has the reputation of
being one of the best soldiers in the army.

THE WAR NEWS.

We have later news from Nassau, N. P.
English pirates were passing in and out. coal
Ing and reftting, entirely unobstructed. On
the evening of the 9th of February the Geor-
giana, u brig-rIgged iron propeller, tender
10 the pirate Alabama the Britannia, side
wheel iron steamer, brig rugged and fast; the
Gertrude, a screw steamer, entered the port
ofNassau within an hour of each other. All
those are English pirates, built with English
money In Engiish ports, furnished with Eng
iish guns and English powder, manned by Eng
lish sailors, and sent forth by English specu-
lstors to rob and burn American ships. No
captain now sees fire on the ocean without
feeling almost certain that 1t Is purposely kin
died by British built pirate to decoy new vic
Tins. And Great Britain brags of her neutral
ity
A special dispatch from Memphis to Gin
cinnati gives the brief announcement of fight
on the Yazoo River, in which the Unionists
were victories, capturing z 900 prisoners and
eight transports. We give the rumor as it
stands, hoping it may prove perfectly correct.
There are rumors in Cincinnati that the
Rebels have retaken or repossessed Forts Dom
elson and Henry. 1t was stated some days
ago in Louisville that the Union troops bad
disarmed and destroyed the former fort, which,
II true, may account for the above story.
Cincinnati dispatches say that skirmish
took place on Wednesday, II miles east of
Paris, Ky. One OF our forage trains was at
tackled by so guerrillas, who we're beaten off
by the teamsters and the guard. The reports
are still conflicting abont the Indianola.
From more complete accounts of the cap
ture Of the Jacob Bell, We learn that all the
property on board, worth 81 500, 900, was own
ed by English merchants-much of 1t, doubt
less, by the men who built and furnished the
corsair Alabama.
