to wrest from the Union vast regions

This will never do. Intensely hating War and
loving Peace as wo do, wo must prefer
q few years more of wholesale blood
shed to this triumph Of the principle Of
disruption and anarchy. Should the princi-
plo Of Secession ever DO recognized in
any form. we must require its consistent recog-
nition and application. If Virginia can right
fully sccede from the Union, West Virginia can
as rightfully secede from her. So of Tennessee,

In the first place there are no reports Of any but
cayalry movements. In the second, the pres
ence of infantry is nearly physical impossi-
billy. The only two Rebel armies in the South
West, this side the Mississippi, are those of
Johnston at Dalton, Georgia, and OF Polk' last
heard from in retreat before Sherman, and sup
posed to be at or neor Demopolis. The former
is steadily accounted for by Gen. Thomas, and
has more than enough to do in barring the way
TO Atlanta The latter has no means, II
il had the disposition, 10 advance into Tennos-
see. Northern Alabama is in our possession.
Northern Mississippi has been made impossible
by the destruction of tho Mississippi Central
and Mobile and Ohio Railroads, and is in no
condition to support Oh army. Polk has no
transportation and 10 commisSariat TO justify o
northern movement. even had he the force.
And indeed the notion of the presence of Rebel
army within supporting distance OF Forrest is so
preposterous that it deserves notice only for the
sake of dispelling the apprehensions above re-
ferrcd to.
If, therefore, Gen. Grant has any Western
campaign in prospect, there is no reason to sup
pose it will bc much interlered with. Fort Pill
low is already abandoned and Forrest probably
making the best Of his way out Of Kentucky
and Tennessee. The Mississippi is open to navi-
cation. Memphis is defended. Troops are
gathering at last, and Gen. Hurlbut-or who
ever is Immediately responsible for the District

GARHDALDH IN ENGLAND.

The ovation which tho English people have
prepared for tho great leader Of European De-
mocracy, Con. Garibaldi, exceeds, as was to be
expected, everything that England hGs wit
mes 3ed for many years. Tho curiosity and SYM
pathy with which Ko55uth was welcomed in
England on his liberation from captivity in
Turkey was great triumph of the gallant chief
taa Of an oppressed nation; and more recently
tho success of Mr. Becoher among tho liberal
classes of tho English population has attracted
the attention of both America and Europe. But
if we may judge by the tone Of the English p,ess
of all parties, the reception Of neither con be
compared with that Of Gen. Garbadi. 1t may
be doubted whether any other living man could
produce in England so profound and universal
on agitation.
The most remarkable incident in this popular
enthusiasm is that it has carried away very
largo portion of those classes Of English society
which feel anything but sympathy with the
political principles of Garibaldi. Those who
have eagerly embraced every opportunity to
deuounce and maign democracy are now busy
in obtruding their Invitations upon the eminent
representative of Italian democracy; and papers
Ike The Times and The Manchester Guardian,
which have hardly ever sympathized with the
movements Of Garbald, now call him :" the
foremost Of all the idols Of the popular heart.
His reception at Southampton on landing on
English soil was most enthusiastic. The bells
of al the churches were ringing; flags were
Aying from every window, and, favored by the
weather, the people made general move To-
ward the Mayors house, where Garibaldis
flag WAS hoisted. Addresses were presented
to The General from Newcastle and Bristol, and
invitations were made him to visit these cities.
Tie plans Of Garibaldi have not yet been
aunounced but no one who has followed his
past career will feel any doub! that if he speaks
on political questions, it viii be in accordance
with his principles The Liberal Party Of
England hopes, and the Tories fear, that he
may speak without reserve on political questions
We may add here, that the numerous friends
of the illustrous Italian in this country may
havo ere long an opportunity of seeing tho old
hero, for We learn from letter from England
that visit Of the General to our country is
highly probable.

ENf.T i,HILOW.

A Washington telegram-cOrlmunicated t.
the public by the Associated Press-assures Us
TINT the loss Of Fort Pillow is due to the mis-
take of subordinate officer who occupied it
against orders. That officer gave his life in de-
Tending bis post, and can make no defense to
such a CHARGE, and until somebody can be
found to reiterate it over his own name, just
charity TO the memory Of brave man demands
that it should be received at least with doubt.
The explanation is further rendered question:
be by the course Of recent military events in
that neighborhood, which have been so remark
able that il seems to US they need accounting
for as much as the disaster at Fort Pillow.
Paducah was attacked on the 18th Of March
by force which came from Northern Missis-
sippi 1t il not known precisely at what point
it made it, rendezvous, but it is certain that to
reach Paducah it must have marched nearly 200
miles-perhaps more. 1t marched across West
Tennessee and Kentucky, territory heretofore
understood to be in the military possession of
the Union forces. II marched so secretly that
no motto Of alarm was sounded until it reached
It's destination. When Paducah had been plum
dered, the robbers loitered in the vicinity with
an easy carelessness OF retreat which it would
seem tho most cold-blooded Of Union com.
manders must hayo understood rs a taunt.
When it became clear there need be
no apprehension Of attack from our side
they dashed at Fort Pillow, within fifty miles of
the scene Of their first exploit. Nearly three
weeks had intervened. What had the Union
forces been doing in this interval How is it
possible that the exact condition Of Fort Pillow
should not have been known 10 the General
within whose district il lies! Is it conceivable
that with hostile force known to be hard by
any commander should have remained for three
weeks ignorant of tho fact that this work was
garrisoned, and that from being nsuficienty
garrisoned it was liable to oapturoi
But while We do not regard tho apology for
the loss Of Fort Pillow as satisfactory, neither
do VIC share in tho apprehensions of serious dis
aster which have been rather heedessly excited
in consequence Of the loss of that fort There
is and can be no large Rebel infantry force in
West Tennessee or Kentucky, and without such
q force no operations con DO really formidable,
