The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1864-09-29

An the midst Of operations producing grel
rational victories temporary reverses will happen
The telegraph to-day announces, what will appeal
TO many who are ignorant Of all the facts, for
midable invasion Of Missouri. Also, an attack
og Forrest upon the communications of Sher
man by the capture Of Athens and the destruction
Of the railroad bridge on Elk river, nc the State
line OF Tennessee and Alabama.
But these are mere pigmies. They are opera
tons set on foot by inferior commanders who
have been cut adrift from the main Confederate
forces and are doing what damage they can as
guerflas, while Generals Grant and Sherman and
Sheridan and Candy and Banks and Rosecrnns
and Steele and Washburne and Curtis and Hatch
are accomplishing, IN permanent toay, the great
work OF crushing out the last breath of life In the
Rebellion. Price and his little band Of guerillas
80 Missouri will share the fate of Early in the
Shenandoah valley. Forrest, with his horde
will suffer like fate.
II is not necessary for us TO indicate exactly
now or when these results will occur, but that
they Will occur Is as certain as anything in the
future.
The report Of the fall of Mobile, as we an
nonnced yesterday, was premature. The city
Will iall into our possession when the Govern
nens Is ready 70 take II. If the Rebel military
authorities in Mobile have surrendered the city
they have wisely initiated the policy of the coon
TO Colonel David CTOcket.
That Fauagut can destroy the city nj anv
moment from his 1eet there is no doubt That
farrsgut desires 70 destroy the city we do not
believe.
