GEN. M CLELLAN S PLAN OF THE WAR?ITS IMME- |
|
DIATE SUCCESS CERTAIN.
The New York Times contains a letter from j
Washington, dated the 12th inst., written by a (
person who speaks from the highest possible
authoiitv. rolatinnr to fill! nlnns off-Inn \l/.f1l/.l_
Ian, from which we make the following extract
:
Your suggestions to attack Manassas, even
at the risk of defeat, on the ground that we ;
had better be beaten, than rot to pieces, is not
like your usual good sense. Any military man
would tell you that to hurl our forces against
those strong entrenchments would be sheer
madness. Jhit (Jen. McClellan has them
caught in their own trap. They arc like a
fox in a burrow with one hole, where they
must soon be forced out, and then (Jen. Me-i
1
dollan will tall upon them like a thunderbolt.
The public will not then complain of his want !
of energy. 1 tell you it will be so fearful as to
have wailing and mourning from every South- !
ern household. Knowing what 1 do, and have '
but thus barely hinted at as the grand plan of
the canpaign, I repeat, the rebels are doomed,
and secession will never again raise its hydra i
head in the land. The folds of the giant con-1
i
ctrictor are now tightening around ih<? wdml- i
lion, and the coming month will gee it crushed j
out completely and forever. Again I say, j
look out lor a "short war and a desperate
one."
What is Going to he I)onk "this Montii."
?The following extract from a letter received |
by one of our prominent citizens (says !
the N. Y. J'osl) comes from a responsible j
source, and hints certain movements said to be
impending:
Washington, Jan. 12.?My Dear Sir: * * ;
* The night of rebellion has passed, >
and the dawn is about breaking, lioforc the !
present month has gone these things will sure-)
ly come to pass : (Jen. Ilalledljfwith the great
llotilla, and an army of one hundred thousand
strong, will sweep like an avalaneh down the
Mississippi, where they will be joined hv (Jen*
1 hitler in New Orleans and'mobile. (Jon. Knell
with nearly or (piitc the same force, will march
into Tennessee, capture Nashville, and co-operatc
w ith the Vnion forces in a manner and
direction it. would not be politic now to point
out. Generals Koseneranz ;iud Kelly will advance
from Western Virginia, and do their
share, in harmony with the general plan.
General:* ?>anl:s and Stone will move, in eonjunction
w ith the rest from tho Upper 1'otomac.
General ihirnsidc will do his appointed work.
General Sherman will explain by deeds, not
words, his inaction. General McClcllan will
force the rats from their holes at Manassas,
attack them at throe points at once, and fulfil
his modest pledge that the war will be "short,
but desperate."
The Oai'TTki: ok Ceuer Kk\s.?Of the
reported occupation of Coder Keys by the enemy,
the Tallahassee JYvwn says:
The Coventor received a despatch on Saturday
slating that Ceder Keys had been captured
and probably burnt by the Federals. The
despatch is based upon the statement of passengers
on the train running from Coder Keys
to l Yrnandina on Friday, who reported some
Federal steamers coining up to Coder Keys,
ami alter the train left a largo smoke was seen.
It is supposed by some that the smoke was oc_
casioncd by the burning of some of our boats
tiiat weio loaded with rosin, Arc., and that the
people of Ceder Keys tired them to keep them
from falling in the hands of the enemy. The
report needs confirmation.
At the late session of the Mississippi Legislature,
a law was passed subjecting any slaveholder
to a fine, of not less than ?200 nor more
than ?1000, who sutlers his slaves to he quartered
at any distance over one mile from the
residence of the master; unless an overseer or
other able bodied white man shall be kept
with them. i
McClellax Endorses the Brutal policy
ok Jim Lane.?Gen. Lane has, in several interviews
with the President, discussed his plans,
and in conversation with McClcllan, the Com- ?
mander-in-Chicf, thus addressed him :
"Suppose you find no Union sentiment whatever
where you go ?" "Then", replied Lane,
"I will take good care to leave 110 rebel scnteinent
behind inc. If Missouri, Arkansas, and
xl . -u l* -
me inuian country win not cotne peaceably
under tlic laws of the Government, mv plan is
to make them a wilderness. I will give the
traitors twenty four hours to choose between
exile and death.?Sir, if I can't do better, I
will kill off the white traitors, and give their
lands to the loyal black men !" The friends
of Lane assert tnat, upon hearing this reply,
McClcllan laughed heartily, and said : "You
must work out your own plans. Go j-our way
and sec to it that no rebel sets his foot in
Kansas."

Rouge (La.) Advocate, says:
"A French gentleman, lately arrived from
Talis, had a conversation just before he left
with Judge Rest, one of the Commissioners
of the Confederate States, who informed him
that the blockade could not continue much
longer. All the continental powers express
themselves favorable to our success. A large
number of armed vessels of the best and latest
construction, would soon enter the service of
the Confederate States; their condemnation
l>y their previous owners being due to the nceccssily
of employing them in opening the way
to cotton and tobacco?Col. llarvey Brown.
U. S. army, being judge, their iron sides and
rifled guns will enable them to open a cotton
porter two with great ease,
Kentucky.?A late number of the Memphis
Appeal contains an encouraging article
on the situation in Kentucky. The whole
force of the enemy under Gen. Buell, in that
department, does not exceed one hundred and
ten thousand men. Against this army, says
the .\ppiu1y we are enable to state, upon sat"
isfactory data, that the Confederate Government
can bring a force of between ninety and
a hundred thousand men, all of whom arc now
mtilnv nrmc in lv'nttUinl-v
The enemy's light boat, stationed near the
"Middle Ground" in place of Capo Henry Light,
went ashore on the J Measure House beach on
Friday morning last. Our Pickets nabbed her,
of course, securing seven prisoners, with a fine
rifled cannon, 400 gallons of oil, about sixty
days provisions, and seven muskets.
Destruction of St. Louis.?The unholv
war which the North is waging against the
Soutli has effected St. Louid^tc a stroke of
palsy. More than sixty thousand inhabitants
have left that city w ithin a year, an immense
number of houses and stores arc vacant, and
all buisncss, except Government contract is at
' a.
a dead stand.
Marriage of a Granddaughter of Daniel
Boone.?Capt. Elmore Otis, of the U. S.
of America, and Miss Boone, daughter of Maj.
A. G. Boone, Indian Agent, and granddaughter
of "Gen. Boone, backwoodsman of Kentucky,"
as Byran calls him, were married at Fort Wise,
Colorado Territory, recently.
