Change Of RaSe.
In the absence of authentic details Of
Shsrman's late movements We can only
speculate upon Hoods present position.
By some it has been supposed that Hood,
inleaving the railroad at Dalton, moved
westward with a view to reaching Deca-
tur, in Alsban1a, on the south banks of the
Tennessee. It is claimed by rebel sympa-
thizers that they have been accommodating
stores for some time at Tuscumbia, which
we're brought to that point by the way OF
Corinth. 1t Is also asserted that with De
catur as base Of operations, and the con-
troll of the Charleston and Memphis rail
road to Tuseumbis. Hoods intentions are
to fall upon the railroad between Nash
vile and Bridgeport. This is the pro
gramme marked out for him by the New
York DDity Nslos. But the facts do not
seem to warrant this view. Hood is rep
resented as marking his way toward
Montgomery.
The Richmond Sentinel of the goth prof
fesses to speak intelligently on the subject,
and thus explains Hoods change of base:
-aHood's movement cut of Sherman ;
supplies, without sacrificing his own.
While Sherman's only line of supply Yves
broken, Hood had merely exchanged one
line for another. s' ~
HThereis railroad known as the Ten
nessee and Alabama Rivers Railroad,
which extends in northeasterly direction
from Selma, in Alabama, to Blue Noun
tain. The latter is point near the boun-
dary line between Alabama and Georgia,
and Is opposite to Rome, in the Northwest
of Georgia. When Hood lay before At
Iants he fed his army over the Macon and
Western Railroad When he moved
around 70 the left and rear Of Sherman, he
merely threw himself upon the Alabama
and Tennessee Rivers Railroad, with which
few miles of wagon transportation put
him in safe and easy communication. At
the same time his new position enabled him
to seize, break up and destroy Shermsn's
only possible line Of supply in the efeetual
manner we have seen." 4.
The railroad of which the Sentinel here
speaks, is represented by the best maps as
unfinished beyond TallsdegR- 1t may have
been completed further toward Rome. II,
however. the Ooosa river, as is asserted, is
naYigable as far as Rome, then Hood may
be aiming to make Rome his base. If this
be SO, after securing the gaps In the noun
tains trending southwest of Dalton, Sher-
man will probably move against Rome, snd
push Hood back into Alabama. No matter
where Hood concludes to make his base, so
long as he is North of Atlanta, he is ex-
posed to destruction and must be defeated.

The ForaGcatfOns at Lynehbure.

The ViTginian SAYS we have recently
made an examination of the Notifications
that General Colston is constructing on the
Amherst side Of the river. Many and i'm
Portant additions TO the old works are
being made. There is no impropriety in
our saying now that the fortihestions on
the Amherst side were too mesgre and
totally inadequate to the purpose ofdefense.
They could easily have been hanked, and
many approaches to the city have been
thereby open to cavalry force. The line
is nearly perfect now, and we shall soon
have works that will command every pass
snd ravine through which approach to
this city could otherwise be gained

The I9fh OfOefObsr Izs7 and 1854.
On the 10th of Octoper, the Richmond
Fhig in an exceedingly BOmbastssI Fis-
t-iosO style, rallies the Yankee army iD
front Of Richmond on the fact that it
did not take Richmond on the anniversary
day of the surrender of COrnwallis The
Wig crows in the following turgid style:
+ Now Grant, too, is man Of destiny, and
therefore, argued the astute Yankee, the
4th Of JULY is his day. The reasoning. was
good but it failed. Never mind, said his
friends, he will make up for it. He viii
enter Richmond ON the 18Th of October.
That is q more glorious anniversary, even,
than the 4th of july. CornwRllis sufren-
dered on that day, eighty three years ago,
and on that day next coming Grant will
plant the spread eagle, and play Hail Co
iunbia on the Capitol square. But we
suppose his destiny broke down, foF he
didn't come, and his admirers have olook
out for another day.
But while the Rhig was indulging in
this boastful strain, Gen. Sheridan, onlthat
very memorable 18th of October, fell like
thunderbplt on Early, andtore him in pie
ces. This Is very unfortunate tor the Rhig.
LIS blusteF and boAstful spirit probably
sqbsidod somewhat on the reception Of the
news next day, that Sheridan had taken
fifty pieces Of cannon and rendered useless
from seven to ten thousand of the rebel

OF military affairs in that region he
adds aa
Among the army everything is quiet,
and all are looking forward to an active
campaign against Mobile. The health of
the army here is very bad indeed and in
proportion to the number Of troops it is
much worse than any other district IN the
United States This, in measure, may
be attributed to the negligence of the COM
missaries in not providing vegetables and
suitable food for an army on sand islsnds-
Among the feet, however, the health Is
excellent
Refugees from Mobile report that, with
the exception of one of the companies of
the celebrated 'Moblle Guards" all the
truops7 hare withdrawn to the defenses of
the city, under the command Of Major
General Frank Gardner, of Port Hudson
notoriety. Among the citizens the pre-
vailing opinion is that the yankees" will
take tho city as they did the forts, and
they are selling cut and leaving for Sa-
vannah or some other part of the Confed-
eracy equally secure, The consequence is
that all the provisions, clothing. &c, that
have been hoarded up by poor Spectators
for the last three years have been brought

st. Adams Raid,
It is gratifying to see that the Canadian
press denounee the recent attempts made
frem Canada to embroil the two countries,
either in border warfrre or in strife with
England. The Montreal Gazette and the
Montreal Herald both condemn, while the
Toronto Globe speaks thus usdecidedly.
It could hardly be asserted that any
Confederate interest would be served BY
the capture Of vessels on Lake Erie, thh
protested release Of the prisoners on John
son1s Island being scheme which ! fool
or sandman could conceive. But what
ever slight excuse might be offered for tie
Lake Erie pirates Is entirely inapplicable
to the st. Albsns case. The object was
robbery, not of the American Government,
but of private individuals, and it wss &C i.
companied By the more heinous crim me of
attempted murder. We are not told who
the perpetrators are, but it is an ssceftain-
ed fact that they took refuge on Our soil
after committing the deed. Some o8them
haYe been arrested in Canada, at which we
sincerely rejoice, since it will Eerve toisho
that Canadians ha9e no sympathy with the
robbery and murder which Southern, SYM
pathizers seem 70 consider legitimate pro-
ceedings If the sufferers are residents Of
the North. We cannot help thinking that
these repeated outragez on our frontier are
designed to enl6roT Britoa with the United
States.
1t is well that the Canadian Press talk
as they do. Our people are getting very
sensitive about the way in which rebels
make Canada base, whence to make at
tackS upon our lake cities and upon Oul
borders. Canada must show the right
spirit or dissensions must besowed between

victory. We reprint an extract from. the

qualification that the Pennsylvanis soldiers

up the campaign on account of=this pre-
Hminary battle No man can doubt, after
reading all the comments of the Southern
Press, that they take more interest in the
coming election than we ourselves do.
They look upon the armies Of Mcclellan
as one of their armies operating in the
North, to promote distraction in our midst.
