THE REBELLION.

THE REBELLION.
The universal conviction that we are on
the eve OF important events in Virginia
will probobly be strengthened by the sig
nifcant absence of definite intelligence
from Gen Grants army. The telegraph
is permitted to tell us little more than
two Gcorgians, doubtless very worthy and
reliable individuals, who left Augusta a
fortnight since, report that the railroads
had been entirely surrendered to the mil
itary authorities who were hurryipg for
ward every available soldier to strength
en- Gen. Lees army, in anticipation of the
coming struggle. Gen. Batter is said to
have expressed the opinion that most Of
the rebel troops recently operating in
North Carolina. have left for Virginia.
On Tuesday a considerable force Of rebel
cavalry made its appearance near Fred
cricksburgh, as if anticipating an attempt
on our part to occupy 1t; ond on the same
day, it is said, the rebels made efforts to
sweep away several of our bridges by
floating logs down the Rapidan.
The intelligence from Gen. Banks ar
my, which we have by New Orleans
steamer, bringing dates from that place to
April 18TH is unexpectedly favorable.
The Era confirms the previous report that
the part Of Admiral Portcr's feet which
went up the Red River previous to the
three days battle, returned to Grand
Ecore on the 18th. On their way down,
the gpnboats were obliged to run the
gauntlet Of IL fourteen-gun rebel battery.
but replied to the fire with such spirit
that they drove the rebels from their guns.
The arrival of the feet at Grand Ecore
enabled Gen. Banks to procure supply
of ammunition, of which he stood greatly
in need, and the Era states that a portion
of the army, at last, was then promptly
pushed out toward the rebel position.
Through the Western papers We learn
that Gen. A, J. Smiths Division had
crossed the Red River not to march over
land to Vicksburgh, as has been stated,
but to establish Communications with
Gen. Stecle's army. which was supposed
to be in the vicinity. kilograms ria Ca
iro reiterate the rumor we had some days
since on the authority of prisoners taken
at Pleasant Hill, that Gen. Steele had
captured Shreveport while KIRBY Smith
was fighting Banks. The repetition of
this statement hardly makes it any more
credible Guerrillas throng the banks Of
the Red River, and fire upon all passing
transports which are not protected by
gunboats.

Our LUMBER INTEREsT.-Some faint
idea may be formed of the magnitude
Of the numbering interest of our State,
when it is known that some Ss,000,000
capital is employed, exclusive of the i'm
mense sum invested in lands, TO carry on
manufacturing operations. The number
of mills engaged in manufacturing lumber,
mostly propelled by steam, exceeds in the
aggregate, 1000, cutting annually from
l,0o0,0o0,000 to l,200,000,000 feet,
yielding at SO per thousand feet, SlO,-
100000 or more. OF this amount
Grand River Valley is in receipt of its
full share. Indeed a very large portion
of our wealth, and the very foundation of
our prosperity is attributable to the i'm
mense and almost inexhaustible forests
of pine that line the banks of our river,
ftom its source almost TO its mouth, and
so along its tributaries for hundreds of
miles inland, and also skirting the shores
of our Lake from its most Southern to
its utmost Northern limits. 1t is being
far and widely known that Michigan

DOES NOT BIND THE PATRIOT TO AP-
PRovE.-The New York Times is n true
administration" paper. One day it
denounces everybody but extreme repub-
licans as disloyal, and the next it prints
something like the following truthful con-
fession, which, however, means nothing
but that conservative support is as desi-
rable as it is undesirably cheap, when it
can be paid for in talk. Says that paper
"The fact that the administration has
settled upon a certain anti-slavery, war
policy, does not bind patriot to approve
it. He has perfect right to believe in,
and, in every orderly way, labor for any
other policy that in his judgment would
better promote the war. Men, ever so
truly devoted to the same end, may yet
differ in regard to the means. 1t is.not
only just but profitable that all means
should be fairly discussed; and that, too,
even after there has been a decision, for it
often can be shown in the light of expe-
rience, that the wrong means have been
adopted. No sensible supporter of the
administration objects in such adverse dis
cussion, or questions the loyalty of him
who honestly engages in it,"

"TEN VIRGINS" IN NAsHyILLE.-A
correspondent Of the Cincinnati Com
neercial, having in view tie immoralities
SO rife at Nashville, since the military oc-
cupation Of the place, says:
"About as ludicrous an affair rs has
come under my observation on this trip
occurred at Nashville few nights ago.
A young man from Ohio came down to
that devoted city to work under the au-
spices Of the Christian Commission
Among other enterprises he started was
a contraband school. For a few nights
his school was largely attended, and he
determined TO add an additional attract
i've feature; 10 the shape Of a tableau, at
the conclusion Of his school. All mig
gordon was on hand in the old church
to see the tableau show, as they called
it. At length the magnificent spectacle
was presented. twas the tableau of the
parable of the Ten VirginsP Ten of
the sleekest Dinahs the house had in it,
dressed in the most fantastic attire, march
ed upon the platform and came to a
front Each held a tallow candle, five
of which were burning and five blown
out AS they stood there, grinning and
grinned at, while the lecturer radiated up
on the important lesson taught, who could
have failed to be impressedG Aside from
the ludicrous features of his exhibition,
the idea of ten virgins in that locality is
itself fruitful theme for meditation
The school broke up in few days,
the Christian Commission being IN
able to appreciate the young mans ser
vice in that capacity at last accounts"

APPROXIMATIONS addition TO the
provisions made by our Legislature, to
enable towns, cities and counties along the
routes of certain proposed railroads inter
seeing the three great routes across the
State, in northerly and southerly direc-
ton, to subscribe to their caital stock,
a way has been provided by which To-
cal bounties, to the amount of 500, may
be provided by towns, cities and counties
for volunteers and also for fixing uniform
State bounty of 500 for the benefit Of
such persons.
1t is estimated that 400 veterans, draw
lug State bounty, will re-enlist, requiring
an expenditure of 100000, the amount
of the State War Fund, now available.
To meet further demands upon the Treas
ury for this purpose, an additional loan
of 100000 is proposed, in sums not less
than $500, to run for twenty years.
Our Legislature has acted literally in
this matter of bounties, and its action, we
think, will be duly honored by the people,
and acquieced in by the volunteer.
