THE REBEL DEsTITUTION.

On Wednesday last we gave, IN an article
embodyng the General Order Of Gen. Gilmore,
the first positive information of the purpose oil
the Expedition to Florida. Certain opposition
journals, either from on habitual incspacity to
comprehend the propriety Of telling the simple
truth, OF else staggered by the statement that
the Union was about to DO reconstructed, so far
as Florida is concerned, by very simple
method, at the same time that a side-blow and q
heavy one was TO he struck at their friends,
the Rebels, affected to believe that we were
INDUCING in a vein Of gentle irony. The
news we publish this morning from the
Department of the South will render il
necessary for those puzzled journalists to meet
the fact in some other way than by the suppose
ton that we were making fun Of it. General
Gilmore has made successful Judgment in
Florida, has issued an invitation TO the people
to return to their homes, promises them the pro-
lection Of the National Government, and has
thus taken the initiative step to restore the
State to the Union. Have our opposition cotem-
poraries any objection to this Or do they pre-
fer that Florida shall still continue out Of the
Union, and all her resources left for the use of
the Rebel armies and to sustain the Rebellion
That this expedition was a wise and timely
one is proved in remarkable way at the very
outset. The disloyal portion of the people fed
precipitately at the approach Of the Union
troops, leaving behind them, in some of their
houses, few copies Of an important Circular
which have fallen into the hands of the military
authorities. We print this document in our
news columns and hardly need commend it to q
careful perusal. 1t has been for some time
known to those whose business it is to learn
Such iacts' that the Rebel armies had no other
recourse Tor their needed supply of beef-cattle

The news from Georgia is significant. The
Rebel Governor has ordered all citizens to move
with their property to the east side of the Chat
tahoochec. That river runs from northeast to
southwest, and cuts off q large triangular Sec
ton from the northern half Of the State, through
which our armies are to advance from Chatta-

all supplies, and leave the country barren Of

on Wednesday, was one of the purposes Of Gen.
Gillmores expedition, and no no sooner enters

COruOva, OrlZaDa, fucUlui, anu thoC tty vi hioA-
loo. tho French forces must be trebled or quad
rupled.
The correctness of this view has been proved
by recent events. The movements of Gen.
Bazaine have been checked by some cause as
vet unexplained, and the General himself, at
last accounts, had returned in hot haste to the
City of Mexico Perhaps the National party
which was in some force in Oajaca, is already
threatening the communication with the sea-
board.
The heraded occupations of San Luis de PO-
tosi and of Zacatecas have not been made accord
ing to the programme, althoughit does not seem
that any defense would be made at these points.
II is here that the real military difficulties Of the
French begin, and they will derive little aid
from those Mexican auxiliares" to whom the
French Emperor, in his instructions to Gen.
Forey, so generously assigned the "cmei role I'D

established the National Government, and where
he was at last accounts with considerable

sitions where few determined men can stop
the advance Of an army.
| The season for active campaigning is rapidly
passing away, and it is safe to say that II Gen.
Bazane is not in Saltillo by April, he will not
reach that point this season. How little the
French mind is inclined to brook this delay may
be seen from tho temper Of the recent debates

the policy and conduct Of the expedition.
But there are other than military difficulties.
The Church party, whose intrigues procured the
Intervention, are already quaneling with their
allies, and largo number of the clergy, headed
! By the Archbishop of Mexico, have protested
against the manner Of tho French rule and
complain that they fare no better now than when

wolf, invited to intervene in the quarrels oil the

WAR IN sCI3LESWIG.

Tho people of Europe have for some time
been watching with intense interest the military
movements on the Elder, the river which sep
arates the two Duchies of Schleswig and Hol
stein. Opinion were divided as to whether th,
Prussians and Austrians would cross the Eidcl
and occupy Schieswig; but it was generally
agreed that if the two German Great Power
should advance into Schleswig, it would be the
beginning of war the end of which could not
be foreseen. 1t is easy, therefore, to imagine
the impression which the firing of the first shot
in Scheswig must have produced throughout
Europe. If Austria and Prussia should still
succeed, as they undoubtedly desire, in local
ling the war, and in keeping it from spreading,
it will be matter Of general surprise.
On Sunday, Jan. 81 a. our readers have
already been advised, O Cabinet Council was
held in Berlin, TO consider whether the English
proposition inviting the powers which signed
the Treaty of lo52 to concert measures to pre-
serve the integrity of the Danish kingdom,
should be entertained or not. Bismark was
in favor of accepting the proposition, but the
King insisted or It's rejection. At midnight
on Sunday, the general alarm was sounded
at Kiel and the Prussian troops marched north
ward into schie5wig. They pushed on to
Gottorf, little town lying about midway be-
tween the Elder and the deep indentaticn Of
the coast ut the end of which Eckern-
lorde stands, and thence to Eckcrn.
ijrde, where two Danish steamers which
lay or The town, exchanged some cannon-ahot3
with the Prussian batteries, and then steamed
away. From Eckernl0rde they advanced to
Missunde, u small village OF the Schey, mar
row arm Of the sea penetrating the Duchy of
Schleswig, in southwestern direction, for
about - miles, to the town of Schloswig. Al
Missundo the first engagement Of the war took
place, Oh the I'd of February. The Prussians
under the command OF Prince Frederick Charles,
for six hours stormed the Danish forts bat were
at length forced to desist. They retrcated the
same day from Missundo to Eckornlorde The
attack had not been renewed Oh the Sd of Feb
ruary.
Simultaneously with the advance Of one pOr-
ton Of the Prussan army from Kiel to Eckcrn-
l0rde, the Austrian forces entered the Kronen-
werk at Rendsburg and tho Danes retired with
only show Of resistance From Rendsburg
they advanced over Kropp to Buston, little
place one mile south Of the town Of Schleswig
This place, which the Danes had fortified, was
attacked by the Austrians on the Sd Of Fcbru-
airy, but the Danes held their own. On the 4th
Of February general attack on the Danish line
of delenSes was expected to take place.
The Governments of Austria and Prussia init.
mate that they are still willing to surrender the
two Duchics to the King of Denmark, and to
abandon the Prince of Augustcnburg, if Den
mark will give guarantees that the rights of tho
German nationality in Schleswig shall DO re-
