"TAKING RICHMOND"
IMPORTANCE OF THE MISSISSIPPI


Much has been said and written about "taklng
the rebel capital Of Richmond" Did ii ever
occur to anybody, that, after we take Richmond,
we have not got the rebel capltali The rebel
capital lie In a carpet-bag. II travels with JEFF.
Davis. Take Richmond, and the carpet bag
will be removed to Raleigh N. c. BY long
marches, at cost Of life and treasure, we take
Raleigh, and the carpet-bag will be removed to
Charleston, s, C., or Montgomery, Ala, where
it originally started from, and so on. There
may be moral effect produced abroad In cap
turing Richmond, because we have failed b.
often, that secesh-e especially English sOcesh-
declare we cannot take II. To waste human
life and national treasure TO take IL, because Of
this silly declaration alone, is acting too much
upon the principle of the boys who fought
simply because one dared the other 10 knock q
chip off his shoulder. Suppose We should cap
turS Richmond and not destroy the rebel army
The latter falls back, recuperateS, and fights
again, and nothing is gained Of positive value
10 the country or the world. But this is not
the case In the great work TO which the Govern
ment has at last turned Its attention with de.
termination highly commendAble. We refer
TO the opening of the Mississippi river. This
long looked for and often promised result will
soon pass into history as a fixed fact. That
done, and we accomplish something positive
that done, and the backbone Of the rebellion Ia
Indeed broken. The great cotton trade now
carried on through Texas into Mexico, aud the
immense supplies received into the rebel statss
through the same channel, will then be stopped.
The whole country west of the Mississippi
being cut off from the Eastern rebel States, will
soon be brought under subJection. The rebel
lion will then be confined to only parts of seven
rebel States, over every one of which thoIgood
old Union dag now waves, and In ave of which
the national forces have a strong foothold, and
are already pressing inland, forming a Gordon
OF military posts, TO perfect that much talked

MAJoR GENERAL nurLER.

Gen. Butler remains at the National hotel.
Since his arrival In this city he has had several
interviews with the President and Secretary Of
War. Besides being called upon on Saturday
night by a spontaneous gathering Of the people
in front Of his hotel, who demanded TO see and
hear him. Gen. Butler has been visited by
large number Of distinguished citizens, who
called to pay their respects.
There exists, among the people, singular
anxiety TO know where Gen. Butler Is going
Most every sensible person who has watched
his career in New Orleans, with any degree of
care, do not hesitate TO assert that he was the
hght man in the right place. He has made no
failures. He has been a highly successful gen.
eral. Besides, the manner in which he man
aged the diplomatic complication, undoubtedly
brought mp by the representative Of foreign
powers for the purpose of either destroying him,
or involving the country in a war with France
or England, not only proves, beyond the posi-
bility Of doubt, that he fully comprehends all
The great questions involved in this knotty re-
bellion, but that he treated them with the skill
Of dlplomatist, the dignity Of a statesman and
the pluck Of a true soldier.
More than this. When Gen. Butler haG been
in New Orleans a few days, he was satisfied
that the sooner trade was opened the better
Articles Of food were desired for the inhabit-
ants within our picksts. Owners OF vessels
were encouraged. People from the country
were induced to bring into the city certain
articles which the Government was then much
in need Of. Upon being assured that the goods
would not be conGscRted, but that gold and
silver would be paid for them, trade with the
interior opened at once, and Gen. Butler pur-
chased property TO the amount Of one hundred
thousand dollars. He shipped II North and
paid the bills out Of his own pocket, and then
turned the bargain over TO the Government.
The latter accepted, and paid back to Gen.
Butler the amount he had invested, leaving, by
the operation, over fifty thousand dollars clear
profit TO the Government. Out Of this, and
Some other transactions, all for the benefit Of
the Government, Gen. Butler has acquired a
reputation Of having speculated for his own
personal benefit. We are glad TO be able to
place our readers right as to these rumors.
That Gen. Butler is to have an important com.
mand after visiting his home at Lowell, Massa-
chusetts, seems TO be generally conceded
that one has already been offered to him, there
Is no doubt.

Our Forces In Good spirits amt CONFIDENT
Of Victory.

NEW YORK, Jan. A special dispatch from
Murfreesboro', dated Friday evening, states
that the rebels were twice repulsed on Thurs.
day, In their fierce attacks upon our centre and
right.
On Thursday night Rosecrans ordered Beat
ty's brigade across Stone river on our LEFT,
which was accomplished on Friday afternoon.
The rebels made a tremendous attack on our
centre, but were handsomely repulsed.
At the same time they threw an Immense
mass of infantry against Beatty's brigade, drl.
wing 1t across the river, when Generals Negley
and Davis divisions went to their aid.
A most desperate struggle ensued, and all
the artillery Of both armies was brought to bear.
Our men suffered terribly, but unnlnchlngly
held their ground. At last Segley ordered a
charge, when the rebels gave way.
The seyenty-eighth Pennsylvania, Col. Ham
bright, charged home on the Twenty-sIEth Ten.
nessee, capturing Its Colors, when other regi-
ments came to It's support, and charged and
seized the entire rebel battery.
A grand shout Of victory arose along the
whole line, when RoseCrans advanced his whole
command; the left establishing Itself on the
east bank of the river, the centre holding the
enemy's former posl:ioni and the right holding
ts original position of Wednesday.
The battle will be resumed on Saturday.
Our forces are In good spirits, and eyeKy one

OUR FORCES ON THE MISSISSIPPI.
BANKS AND FARRAGUT.

The dispatch published yesterday about the
attack upon Vicksburg, states that the military
and naval forces under Gen. Banks and Admi-
raj Farragut were expected to cooperate with
Gen. Sherman in the fight of Saturday. This
must be Q mistake. The forces under Banks
and Farragut have a work TO perform OF equal
importance TO that assigned Sherman, and, II
all reports are true, the former will find theirs
a much more difficult task TO perform. We
refer to Port Hudson, situated about fifteen
miles above Baton Rouge and over one hundred
miles below Yicksburg. The Notifications Of
Port Hudson are erected upon bluff, two hun
drod and fifly feet above the river, and Is SINH
lar in construction, although a much more diff
icult place TO take, than Fort Darling on the
James river. There is no doubt that a desper-
ate resistance will be made at Vlcksburg and
Port Hudson, as these two points control the
country through which all the supplies Of beef
and cattle for the rebels have been brought
from Texas. When these places are in our
possession this supply Of beef and cattle Is not
only cut of and the great trade now carried on
through Texns and Mexico-the supply of arms
and ammunition for Gotten In return-but the
great Mississippi river will be again open TO
trade and the grain-growing people Of the great
West will again have the use ofthe natural out.
let which belongs TO them for supplying their
products to all the world. Rest assured that
until Banks and Farragut, with their combined
land and water forces, reduce and hold possess
sion of Port Hudson, they cannot cooperate
with Gen. Sherman. 1t seems to us altogether
more likely that Gen. Sherman, after reducing
viCksburg, will proceed down the river and CO.
operate in the reduction of Port Hudson, which
is much the strongest place.

our columns that she will give a concert at
"WIllArds' Hall" on Thursday evening next

ry Of the "battle of New 0rleans") is an sp-
propriate one for grand Union concert, and
the object for which the concert is given Is 4
