The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune reports Gen. Halleck as
expressing his belief that the last grand
and desperate effort will be made in the
ensuing Spring by the rebels to transfer
the real fighting TO Northern soil. They
cannot subsist their armies in their own
desolAted region, from the mos. fruitful
parts of which slaves have been with
drawn into the interior cotton States. It
is difficult to determine whether their new
campaign will be due north into Pennsv,.
Vania again, or across Kentucky into Ohio.
using Lougstreers present position as a
base OF operations. All the secret advices
received at the War Department show
that PetCr-the, Hermit crusade against
the North is now being preached through

violence everything human that is able to

more, all made Emancipation addresses at
Annapolis. Mr.. Blair announced his en-
tire adherence to the Presidents policy.
MIR. Hicks condemned the idea of temper
izing with slavery, and Mr.. Swami pro-
nounced in favor of immediate emaucipa-
ton, declaring that he and those who
agreed with him would preach cru
SADIE against slavery in the State. The
"psculiar institution" has but few friends
left now and those mainly in the lowe
counties on the Chesapeake and Potomac.
week ago q large meeting was held at
Nashville, Tenn, in regard to a reorgani.
cation of the State. Ths sense of the
meeting was decidedly in favor of reorgan-
izatiOn with emancipation, and Governor
johnson was requested to call a State
Convention charged with the duty of
framing constitution in which the doom
of slavery shall be decreed. The Governor
made an able speech, in which he declared
it to be duty to restore the State gov
eminent on righteous principles, giving
TO all their natural rights.
Commenting upon these manipulatious
the N. Y. Commercial Adosrtiser observes
as follows:
1.-THE meaning of all this cannot be doubt.
ed, but It is amazing that men who claim
TO discern the signs OF the times, can stand
by and behold these changes in public
sentiment aud content themselves with the
mean spite Of denouuclng these wonder
workers rs "Abolitionists," as ifthe epithet
once deemed a word OF dishonor, had Nny
terror now for those who take part in the
revolution that is so rapidly progressing.
IL Is about two years since BeaUregard, by
way OF 'hring the Southern heart" issued
a special order requiring the Army of the
U mon to be spoken of AS "Abolitionists."
but little over two months ago, Demo-
cratic journal in New York issued a SINH
lar decree in regard to the party favorable
70 the Administration and the war. In
both cases the advice of the generals has
been followed. In both cases disasters
have Overtakeu them. The Union army
has had almost uninterrupted success since
Beauregard's order, aud the Union party
have triumPhed in every election since the
advised and suarliug decree of the Dem
ocratic editor. Neither armies nor parties
ca n hope to succeed by resort to the
weapons only of abuse. Something like
principle is essential as basis Of action
for each The Democrats, 10 anticipation
OF tue Presidential contest, have already
begun to call names, and learning nothing
of the past, they select as their favorite
weapon term which, whether employed
by Benuregard or another "Leader," has
proved entirely ineffective. This word of
reProach will become the expression of
positive dignity, aud under that sign there
will be certain victory aud a prolonged
triumph OF the right"
