Prospects and Plans.

To say that there are no clouds in
the military horizon, would not DO
correct We have much yet to accom-
plish hard b tiles. heavy skirmishes,
further impovcrishu,ent, and even
gaunt famine and utter desti.ution
and want may visit extensive districts
IF our country. And what is more,
treason may yet rear its head, even
in high places, and everywhere the
weak and vacillating will hang like
an incubus upon the country. Yet
with all this. and even more than this,
our glorious cause will be triumph
antly sustained, ard we will come
out of the contest the noblest and
most thoroughly purified people on
the face of the globe.
Recollect that we have n vast
country, unsurpassed in natural re.
sources. that our population belong to
the best and bravest type of the race;
educated in the school of liberty, and
accustomed to self government. Re-
, collect too, that our foe thrice out
numbers, have, within the past four
Years, been decidedly worsted in
every great battle of the war. That
our army, compared to that of the
enemy, is relatively stronger than at
any time since the commencement Of
the struggle.
Lee, with an army one third that
of the enemy, defeated them in every
engagement during the campaign of
last year. These are encouraging
signs, as they show the bravery Of
our troops and the skill of our gener.
ais. The loss Of our cities, may
give US immense advantages in
the campaign of this year. We have
now no garrisons to maintain. no
localized force all are free to strike
wherever the heaviest blows can be
dealt. 1t necessary we can unite cur
armies and sweep the enemy like
trash before US; or we can go into
their own country and pay them some
of IT,. ir5:s which have been so long
due. There is something good in
store fox the Confederacy, and the
time is not distant when the clouds
will disn,rse and the clear sunshine
of peace of hope will be visible to
all.

. great evil close akin in it's effects

Ud Series Vol. VII

the Meridian Clarion Of the 4th.
from which we CLEAN some items Of
INTEREST. 1s- na
It seems that Forrest had made
b is arrangements to foil the enemy
in their raid through Alabama before
they could reach Selma, and had
made such disposition Of . part Of
his army as be thought would -
amply sufficient to check It least
$4,000 men
A akirmish occurred at a place
called I'lnnteravflle between a por-
ton Of the enemy and portion of
the command of Fnrrest. which re-
suited in the loss on our part OF
a few prisoners and few pieces Of
artillery. On Sunday. the Cd, there
was another engagement at Marion.
thirty miles distant from Selma, in
which Gen. Jackson. the commander
of our forces, had decidedly the ad-
vantage.
On Sunday morning, the Cd. Gen.
Taylor was at Selma, and had every
thing removed that could be trans
ported. after which he left for some
other field Of duty. Forrest, Dan.
Adams ard Roddy also arrived and
made arrangements for the defence of
The city. The brigade of Roddy,
the onl Y troops which had arrived.
were placed in the trenches with IL
pieces Of artillery. Forrest fully ex-
pected other troops, but unfor,u-
na,ely they did not arrive.
At 6 o'clock in the evenins-Sun.
day, the 2d-the enemy made his
appearance and at once pushed his
way into the city, Forrest safely
making his escape with the small
body Of troops present, without Sc
rious loss
The account in the Clarion states
that the failure to check the enemy
was owing to the failure Of some Of
Forests officers to come up to time.
and to the disgraceful conduct Of
some of his men. But as We have
no account Of particulars we cannot
say in what way the conduct Of the
men was disgraceful.
This is the extent of the informa-
ton in the Clarion on the subject,
bat from other sources we doubt not
but that Montgomery, Ala, has also
been occupied by the enemy.
Upon the whole, there is nothing
to discourage in the late news, but,
on the contrary, much to inspire con
ti1ence.
