Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial.
From SherIdan's Army.
WINCHESTER. Va. Feb. q, 1865

NtACdkSIEhf v Al ESDs ~ AOO0s
This morning at daybreak, a we'll
equipped and well appointed column
of twelve thousand cavalry, with ten
days rations, and eighty rounds of am
munition, and headed by the best cav
airy officer in the world, filed out on
the Winchester and Staunton Pike and
moved rapidly southwark.
By the time this reaches you, you will
have heard from the expedition through
rebel sources, for their tottering 'con~
Germ" shall have received blow that
will cause quaking at King Jeff's Capt.
tai, never felt before.
The morning opened rather inauspi-
ciously; dull gray sky, threatening
snow or rain; and the mild weather of
the three days preceding had taken
the frost out of the roads, and melted
the snow out of the mountains, and
every stream was pouring forth its tor
rents, and oVerspreading its banks.
But the gay troopers dashed along
through the mud and slush in fine
spirits. A pontoon train accompanied
the expedition, but comparatively little
artillery, and two hundred wagons. No
surplusage was taken. The sabres
were ground sharply, and every prepa-
ration made for rapid, desperate work.
At sunset this evening the advance
had passed beyond Fishers Hill There
is no force of the enemy this side of
Lynchburg, that can check the head~
long charges of Sheridan's splendid cav
airy for q moment, and soon Gen. Lee
will find his escape via Lynchburg and
East Tennessee hopelessly cut of, and
to march his infantry from Richmond
to the Potomac at this season of the
year, over roads in the present condi-
ton is an impossibihg lie must crush
Sherman or he is lost Can he do it?

Our indebtedness.

The Express takes exception to the arti-
Gle published in yesterdays San on the
subject of L" Paying our debts" and says
that if our ideas prevail, posterity will
have heavy load to carry, without bear
ing the burdens Of their fractions, pas
sionate and belligerent predecessors. I"
Whoever penned those words for the En-
press, may possibly belong to the class
denominated as fractions, passionate and
belligerent; the masses of the Northern
people do not. They calmly and consid-
erately, without passion, undertook to
teach the cardinal principles of our gov
eminent to the passionate belligerents who
refused to be governed by majority of
the people. Patience was exhausted in
pleading with the hayward sisters"
who refused to acquiesce in the will of the
people, hence the salvation of our nation
required most of the sacrifices that have
been made in our day and generation.
We have thus incurred an indebtedness,
the burden of which should be liquidated
by our successors, because they will OBJ
tain the greatest benefit thereof. The
Express alluded to the case of parent
who bequeaths to child debts which ac-
crued in consequence of mistakes and
follies. The application fails when the
Express desires to show that our debt was
the result Of folly, and should be paid du-
ring the lifetime of those who incurred it !;
for the facts furnish ample evidence that
it was created for the purpose of self.pre-
servation against the traitorous assaults
of those who would deprive our children
of their rights, and wrest from US the
property we hold in trust for future gen.
erations of Americans.-N. Y Sun.

The War n Purifier.

We ask for a sound reason that this war
of rebellion is not now and will not be an
enlightener and purifier, and that from
its CORY fields and devastated States, and
sorrowing households, have not risen and
will not rise many influences profitable
alike to the present and the future. We
ask for sustained contradiction of the
fact, that the example of the one side in
defending noble nationality and the en-
ample of the fate of the other in arming to
destroy that nationality, will be so
wrought into the enlightenment of the
times as to be transmitted through all
coming centuries for the benefit of the
world. Long before its ending the war
will have proved its excellence as a puri.
fer and enlightener /; it will have proved
the vigor, activity and invincibility Of the
American nation it will have proved that
we can excel in war as we'll as transcend
in peace; it will have proved that the
principles of the Government are the prin-
ciples of the people, and that the people
will sustain the Government by maintain
ing their principles and rights it will have
proved that forbearance toward an agrees
sive minority will not be permitted to
peacefully extend to understandable revo-
luton or outrageous rebellion it will have
proved that the insurgents have not been
oppressed. but have invoked destruction
through the wicked ambition Of their lead
ers and the ignorance of the masses; it
will have proved that the Spirit of Liberty
has attended it patiently and wisely to
break the damnable and damnirg rule of
slave ownership in the freest land OF free
dom. When we shall have closed II ,
struggle, other changes will everywhe' g.!
occur, and every change will show thr /;
the war has been purifier of our polite
system and an enlightener of our progree ;
and when Peace shall come to sit anon :
us again, her robes will bear sweeter
fragrance than we had known, and all her
multiplying fruits will have richness and
a beauty to compensate us for the sacrifi-
ces which were called for by War in his
sudden invasion Of our former tranquility.
