A correspondent of the New York
World, writing from Nashville, February
18th, states that il is his opinion that the
mission of SMTHs and GRIERsoNs cav
airy, IL, 900 in ali, is to drive FoRREsTs
rebel cavalry bs3ore them, thst halt Of the

6nxHMANs column, and ;thnt Loaxns
command, the 18th Army Oorps-con-
tanning probably 1t, 900 men, is to move
to the eastward against Rome, Georgia,

He thinks that SHERMANs force with
:
SMrrHs cavalry will be sble to accomplish
its object, even, should Mobile be the point
of attack, unassisted by LoaANs conf
mand. He says that THoMAs will be
ready to move from Chattanooga when
ever GRANr givessths word, and that his
forces, Joined BY LoaAHs Corps win num-
Der nearly $4,000 effective mem enough
TO meet any forces Joansros can get to-
gether. He says:9n 9lidaq eni9s 1oi ,ii,it

With the movements Of Gen., Sherman 10 the
West should n that General canse the fall
Of Mobile IN his movement East of Mer-
idan-JOhpst0n's d communications viii be
endangered by n means OF the er streams
by the Coosa; and i Is understood that
/ Gen. Sherman is provided with tran1p oFtation
suitable for these rivers, which he is carrying
With him. Should Johnston be driven from
his chosen position, therefore, he win have to
look TO the east for succor. 9xlis obi 10 Y5gb

Of operations has been perfectly success

for the development of the most decisive
results during the next two weeks. e.ilos:,

editor of the st Paul Press newspaper, and Q.
Brown is equally well known by the readers
of the st. Paul Press, as the editor and pro

have good qualities - excellent qualities. -
Among their many virtues, their friends are
accustomed to reckon their ertrewe nsOdesty
as perhaps the most remarkable. OF course
neither the Press nor Repubticdn-so notorious
for their mOdesty-can be considered rs : put

great apostles of Republicanism, and "the

Wheelock, and SO is Brown. They have each
certain good points which they wish to keep
before the people, and, as a matter of course,
they must ADVERTISE, and the consummate
skill which they exhibit in this art is worthy
of imitation Every week the columns OF
the Republican team with the recital OF
the remarkable sayings and dOings of

so we will not call the attention Of the writers
to the case of the clergyman who preached all
his congrega ion out OF the house and then
bored away at the sexton till he was con-

requesting him, at the same time, TO lock the
door when he got through. 5s *
We. cannot agree however with our
neighbor, the Messenger, that our friends
JOSEPH of the Press and ORvILLE Of the
Republican could "agree to disagreed for
SO long time upon any amicable under

shrewd economists not to have saved
