.F12A tast Results -
We published yesterday the details Of the
brilliant victory gained BY the Uaion forces in
the South. giving also . iist Of the. casualties.
To-day We furnish some additional items Of in
terest regarding this affair." which in its results
must prove very important. General Grant at
vicksburg and General Banks at Port Hudson
severed the rebsllious States last year Gen.
eral Banks, In addition, by this late victory
brushes the hopes Of the rebels In the trans
Mississippi region. and obtsins control
over the States Of Louisiana, Texas and the
southern portion OF Arkansas. The rebels
east Of the Mississippi who counted upon as
sistance from their forces in Louisiana and
Texas. and fully expected them to make i'm
portant diversions, will become discouraged
when they hear Of their defeat. They will
realize the fact that their supplies will be cut
of, and that the Union forces will be enabled
now to obtain complete control of large
portion Of the cotton regions, thus depriving
the rebels of bait wherewith to hook Euro
pean spectators.
Besides these material advantages, we must
count upon the moral effect which this victory
will produce throughout the confederacy. The
people have been led to believe, by their spe
cious leaders, that great victories would ac-
crue to them through their valiant forces-the
trans Mississippi army-which added to the
advantages to be gained by Lee against Grant,
were to resuls in the recognition of the con-
federacy's independence and the utter con-
fusion of the North. Now that the "heroes"
OF this Southern army have been SO completely
defeated in the Southwest, the disheartened
rebels east of the Mississippi may well infer
that similar fate awaits the armies under the
command Of their most popular general
Leland ask themselves "What next?'
Nothing but surrender and immediate return
to the Union, il there is yet left the power Of
reasoning to those .leluded followers of the
arch traitor Davis.
We are surely and rapidly closing around
the rebels, and they, aw all the world. must
realize that the fate o. their mad traitorous
scheme is sealed. The advantages they may
still gain can but delay few weeks their ult-
mate reduction. Whole States have been re-
deemed from the contami nation Of rebellion.
We have conquered the great rivers, which
gave the rebels means Of light; have rendered
their intercourse with fore ign Powers impos-
sble, beyond the enterprise of some unusually
daring smuggler, and have' now an immense
force, under the command Of . most fortunate
and able commander ready tos march upon their
capital. We have crushed Il weir hopes in the
Southwest, Gen. Banks, by this late victory.
having completely deprived hem Of oil con
troll beyond the Mississippi an when we shall
have taken Richmond the rebe !lon will virtu-
ally be ended In cooperation with this en-
terprise the effects Of the late vi ctores in Lou
siana must prove immense, aid were most
timely.

REBEL VIEW OF GENERAL BANKS RED RIVER
EXPEDITION Richmond Examiner is Of the
opinion that the Red river. movement Of Gen.
Banks and Admiral Porter is nothing more than
cotton stealing expedition, and that If it has
any other purpose it is to clear out the gueril-
las that interfere with the Yankee cotton plan
tations on the Mississippi. But according to
the recent news from that section, we may ex
pect soon to hear that it has effected another
object-the complete expulsion of Kirby Smith,
Dick Taylor, Price and Company, from Arkan-
sas and Louisiana into Texas, and on the road
TO Mexico.

OPERATIONS OF THE REBEL RAN AT PLYMOUTH. -
We think that the country has a right at this
time to ask why some Of the sixty millions Of
dollars which have been expended upon our
iron-clads has not been used for the construc-
.tion Of some light draught iron-clad rams, one
Of which might have been stationed SO as to
have met the rebel ram at Plymouth. We have
bad timely warning Of such disaster, and
there is no excuse Of the want Of time or money,
and we could have had the plans of vessels Of
this class If the Secretary OF the Navy had been
willing to tolerate anything made Of iron, cx-
cept such things as planned by Ericsson. It is
time these matters of our iron-clad navy were
thoroughly ventilated. The rebel ram will do
more damage in two days than it would have
cost to build good and formidable ram.

WHAT THE REBELS EXPECT TO Do.-A very
learned writer in the World on rebel strategy,
tactics and expectations, tells US that they ex-
pect Joe Johnston, with an army of one hun
dred and twenty thousand men, to carry the
war across Tennessee and Kentucky and into
the heart of Ohio, while General Lee, with
ninety thousand men, all veterans. and two
hundred and fifty pieces Of artillery. makes
another invasion Of Pennsylvania. But how
Johnston Is to get by General Thomas, and
how he Is TO subsist his one hundred and twenty
thousand men across the mountainous and
destitute country Of those hundred miles
which he will have to cross TO reach
the Ohio river We are not informed.
In regard to General Lees movements,
II is based upon the old theory that Gen. Grant
will have to abandon his designs against Rich
mond In order to protect the rear Of Washing
ton But what If Gen. Grant, in addition to
an army abundantly able to cope with the
whole rebel force in Virginia, should have an
other army provided for this very contingency
Of . march by Lee down the Shenandoah val
ley. What then, becomes Of Richmond aud OF
Lees We guess that he has been considering
this question, and is preparing for the very pro-
bable necessity Of forced march to Rich
mond, instead Of another trip to Pennsylvania
The events q the next ten days will be very
apt to solve the problem.

room for Improvement in those that ought TO
live. We have too many EatanssCM Gazeites
among us, disgracing Journalism and insult
Ing civilization We have too many coun-
try editors, without principle and with
out brains, who are now spelling white
paper with black lies, when they ought
to be serving their country in the army,
doing penance for their sins, or earn
ing an honest living by digging bitches
and saving wood. "A heavy tax, resting
equally upon all newspapers, regardless Of cir
culation, would soon crush out these disre-
putable sheets and force these bogus editors to
their proper vocations. We have also too
many copperhead and too many partisan
journals among us. Perhaps those Of the
former class that survive the tax will love
their country better when they pay more to
support it; for the Scripture declares that
where ones treasure Is there will his heart be
also As for the party journals, the tax
gatherer will continually remind them that the
welfare Of the whole nation Is Of moro i'm

they will either learn this lesson or die
benefting the world in either case. For tho
sake Of reforming the press, as well as for the
sake Of increasing the internal revenue, we
urge upon Congress this plan Of heavily taxing
all newspapers alike; and, for the reasons
above given, we are decidedly in favor Of
taxing all incomes, without exception or ex-
