50,000. A rontemporary justly remarksthit, before Tenneseea ia liberated, one or

possibly three battles, must be fought on the

Mississippi. Forts Pillow, Randolph, Wrightand Rector are yet held by the rebels. It isfair to suppose that Beauregard can concen-

States, like Tennessee and Arkansas, with-

not doubted. Gen. A. S. Johnston, with

sare Iron any diversion that could be madeupon him from the Confederate army in Vir-

ginia; it is stated that he is now pushing on

to other fields, that Boaufort is the nextplace of attack, and that it is probably nowalready captured.

Commodore DurovT Movikq Oh. Thenews from the South is that CommodoreDupont is rapidly retaking the forts whichwere wrested from the United States author-ities upon tho breaking out of the rebellion.Despatches from that gaiknt officer statethat the United States Aug now floats overFort Marion at Augustine, Florida, itbeing the second of tho old forts given up.No opposition was offered, the rebel troopshaving evacuated the night before the ap-

pearance of the boats. The authorities ofthe town received Commander Rogers, whowas Bent ashore to confer with Ihem, at theioii n h the citizens were assured of pro-

tection, aiid upon his ,v.:-- g ctir.ri they ranup the Aug themselves. Jackson, Florida,was given up in lik; manner. The Govern-

or of F!cria has recommended the abandon-

ment of East and South Florida. Comman-d- T

Igc;s says tho men in St. Augustineaic ijencraily di ' - ;e 1 to submit ouielly. buttho women are Ltrco uad tioublesome. Thisresults, doubtless, from the privileges of theirsex, but in the end it ia rather the cpinionthat they will have to submit s well as themen.

The progress of the armies ol the Repub-

lic is onward, and the rebellion under theirvigorous and well directed blows is reelingand tottering to its fall.

OCA letter from Greensburg, of the 12thin6t., states that Col. S. Woodson Peickhad arrived there and entered upon hisduties as commander of the regimeRt.The writer speaks of his qualifications fortbe placo, and adds that "although a strangerto many, yet I predict that in a littlo whilehe win the love and esteem cf all tbemen placed under him."

Lieut. Col. White and the Captain were

ing to designate him from a citizen exceptwhat I would call a 'Lager Beer' Dutchman'scap, with a gold band or braid, resemblingthe large red cap in II. Shaw & Co.'s win-

Mr. J. W. Lee and Mrs. Scott, of this city,which were contributed by t!:eni, graced thotables, and as great a deirres of tasto wasdisplayed in the arrangement of the viandsas generally those pijptrcd for pirtypurposes. The best evidence that the pro-

vision was ample, was that there was enoughleft to feed a brigade.

The accomplished and gallant Col. Coburn,in behalf of his regiment, returned thanks to

tho ladies for their very acceptable compli-

ment in a neat and earnest spoech, whichwas responded to in their behalf by our fol

low citizen, Speed S. Goodloo, Esc , in anappropriate and tasteful manner. The wholeregiment seemed delighted with the bounte-

ous entertainment, and did ample justice tothe inviting viands spread before them.

This compliment to Col. Coburn's regiment was will merited, and is in the highestdegree creditable to the patriotic ladies ofFayette who so gracefully extended it. Itis only to be regretted that the weather wasso very unfavorable as to provent such anattendance as they bad a right to expect andwhich certainly would have been presentunder other auspices.

This regiment figured gallantly at WildCat, where the tide of the rebellion wasturned, and was the socond arrival of theregiments from abroad to enter the State ofKentucky. Decimaied by disease andslaughter in the Held, they came here to restand recruit, and by soldierly and gentleman-ly bearing, they have most favorably impressed themselves upon the citizens of

Lexington and Fayette county.We append a card of thanks from the la

The New Line ok the Enemt. TheRichmond Examiner states that tho retreatof the Southern army from its "offensiveline" at Manassas was merely a strategicmovement, in order that it might assume a"defensive lino." The now position whichthis army proposes to occupy is describedby the Examiner as "a lino stretching fromthe Rappahinock by a grand circle to Cum-

berland Gp, in the extreme southwesterncorner of the State, embracing the Centraland the Virginia and Tennessee railroads, thechief citie3 of Virginia and the valley ofJames river, with its canals and railroads,within its circumference." The Examinerconfesses that this is "purely a line ef de-

fence, assui.ie'l note a. a ntceislly, in view ofthe great force which has been collected outhe Potomac.

The correspondent of the New York Eve-

ning Post, writing from Washington underdate of the 16ih, says "there will be no pausoin the advance of our armies upon Richmond,and within a month it is hoped that the rebelcapital will be in our hands. As the Chron-

icle y notices the fact, it can do no harmto say that very many of our regiments wereyesterday evidently prepMinc for a Errandmo', uueut soujewnere wnetuer to posh onagainst the enemy, down upon Gordonsville,or to some other point is not known. Gen.McCali's division has been very busy open-

ing tho Hampshire and Loudon railroad toLeeAouri?. It is expected that the trair.swill be running by tho end of this week.As the track has been laid across LongBridge, cars are run from Baltimore to Ma- -

naisasor Leesburg. Now, that tbe Potomr.ois open, supplies for tho army wiil come uptho river to Alexandria, jnd then be trans-

ported to Manassas or Leesburg. Gen.address to his Potomac army ex

cites considerable attention here, and is con-

sidered to indicate a purpose to push onagainst the enemy with tho least possible delay. It is said that the General ia confidentof a speedy battle or the immediate evacuation of Virginia by the rebeU.

OrHon. Daniel S. Dickenson, in a recentlecture in Troy, N. Y., said that "if a nurs-

ing babe was to secedo from tho maternalbnast, on pretence of setting up for itsrights," it would be no more ridiculouslyabsurd than the conduct of Florida in rebelling against the Union. Tbe Boston Postsays "the illustration is not mote strikingthan just. Always a bill of expense to theGoueral Government, which expended millions of dollars and an iucalulable number ofloyal lives to protect her against savageswho were rendered unnaturally ferocious byher own stimulation, she was one of thefirst to prate of 'oppression' and join the shamConfederacy. And what grievance had Lou-

isiana to weigh against the constant andganerous protection of her benign mother?Ar.d what ground of complaint had Texas,another sucklingchild of the Union? Surely,if there was causo for revolt anywhere, itwas in the border States; but the borderStates never dreamed of revolt until the pet-to- d

children of the South clamored for 'in-

dependence' and literally 'precipitated' theirmore northern neighbors 'into revolution,' asdemagogues had planned, against the wishesof the majority in any CommonwealthSouth Carolina excepted. Verily, historyshall writo "Never was rebellion so cause-loss- !'

queDce of tho many exaggerated statementswhich have been made as to-t- mortalityin the U.

evacuation of Manissas, says theNew York Herald, is equivalent to the aban-

donment of Virginia by the rebels witboutrisking a great and decisive battle. Theyhave no other place within the limits of tbeState where they can mike the stand whichthey could have made at Manassas. Wepresume that the flying army has been re-

duced, by uekness, expiring enlistments anddesertions, and by detachments drawn off to

other quarters, to considerably less than onehundred thousand men. T'TFresuuje thatthe Federal army in pursuit k.! considera-bly exceed a hundred thousand men, andthat its most serious impediments on its wayto Richmond will bo broken bridges and ob-

structed roads. This evacuation of Manassasis virtually the end of the rebellion in Vir-

ginia, and the restoration of that State to theUnion. With the close pursuit of the re-

treating rebel army which will doubtless

follow, we may now reasonably count uponthe final collapse of the vagrant Governmentof Jeff. Davis before the 1st of May, and thereopening of the whole South and its greatcommercial staples to the markets of theworld.

Tho National Intelligencevnoticing theabandonment of Manassas, says:

"The enemy's eseape from his batteries on thePotomao appears, from at! the indications lelt be-

hind him, in the fhupe of deserted guns, provis-ions and ammunition, to hi ve been effected underthe influence of a pervading panic. In a word, itwould seem from present appearances that thearmy with which the people of the ?outh expectedto capture the city of Wanhin'Tton nod to carry thewar into the loyal States, has confessed itself van-quished witheut awaiting to accept the battleabout to be tfored it on its r,vn choita and strongly fortified grcurjd."
