It is plain that some other line of march must be adopted, or else the enemy must be expected to make his winter quarters in Western Virginia. It is certain that, if prompt and effective measures be not taken for penetrating that country by some line of march leading to the rear of Reynolds, we must expect one-third of Virginia to remain under the jurisdiction of Pierpont and Carlile, for a season. Every day's delay to reconquer Western Virginia adds to the strength of the enemy, by converting true men among its population over to the side of the North. To allow the enemy to winter in Western Virginia is to allow him to fortify himself in its strongholds so securely as to endanger the permanent loss of the country.

While General Lee was weaving ingenious webs of strategy about Cheat Mountain, Rosencranz was legging it down to the Gauley. Legs and powder and ball do much better in the mountains than even the science of a Vauban or a Lee.

To allow the enemy to winter in Western Virginia is to allow him to fortify himself in its strongholds so securely as to endanger the permanent loss of the country. With a view to permanent separation, it would never do to allow the Northern Confederacy to own the Western slope of the Alleghanies. To concede that slope to the Yankees for the practice of their negro-stealing habits, would be equivalent to abolishing slavery in Virginia altogether. The ridge of the Alleghany chain of mountains might be a natural line of boundary for the two Confederacies, but it would be anything else than a line of defence for the Southern States.--Rome was never secure from the invasions of the Gauls and the Goths until her Generals had carried the war beyond the Alps and planted the eagles of

In view of the promising operations just now going on in Kentucky, the campaign in Western Virginia becomes doubly important, and is doubtless enlisting the especial attention of the Confederate authorities. It would seem from the late advices reaching us from that direction, that Gen. Lee, failing in his forward movement upon Cheat mountain, was turning his attention to the operations in Greenbrier county, and that, with an escort of twenty-five men, he had gone over to the camp of Gen. Floyd, beyond Lewisburg at Meadow Bluff, to look after operations in that field. He is to be followed by several thousand of his troops from Huntersville.

These circumstances show very plainly that the Government has resolved upon a new programme for Western Virginia, which contemplates a forward movement, with a strong force, from the direction of Lewisburg upon Clarksburg, Parkersburg, and Charleston, in Kanawha. Provided a competent force be put at the command of our Generals on that line, much may be expected from this new programme. We should expect much quicker work from it, however, and much more certain success, if the column numbered thirty thousand men, instead of fifteen or twenty; and we shall receive advices of further reinforcements being forwarded with much satisfaction.
