rst it is almost impossible to say. Though the news we published yesterday from St. Louis and Chicago would indicate that Halleck will probably have the start of McClellan, no one can tell what a day may bring forth in Virginia. One of those battle scenes lies in the northeast corner of the rebel Confederacy, and the other in the Virginia are that a great battle may take place at any moment at Yorktown. But it is hard to tell whether the enemy will await the blow preparing for him by Gen. McClellan at Yorktown, or whether his wily strategy will prompt him to parry it by a feint, and strike suddenly with his main force at McDowell or Banks, meantime throwing such obstructions in the way of McClellan's advance as will prevent his taking part in the battle. Upon the result of these two battles hangs the rate of the rebellion. If the rebels should win both, their drooping spirits would be revived and the war would be prolonged indefinitely. If they should even win one battle, i

guments were as unanswerable then as now, but in times of popular excitement the still small voice of reason is seldom heard. The North will not resign its extravagant claims at the moment when victory crowns its arms — we suppose it will go on to receive another lesson of defeat. As far as we can see, that is not likely to belong delayed. The Generals in the West, flushed with unhoped for successes, are acting on their own responsibility, and altogether without authority, either of General McClellan or the Secretary of War at Washington. We are informed on this very singular feature in the conduct of the war by no less an authority than Mr. Stanton himself. If these unwary gentlemen should be encouraged to push on into Alabama, they and all their forces will not improbably be surrounded and made an end of, in the same manner as a daring fish that has invaded the mouth of a polyp. The tide of battle, if fortune be too much tempted, may be expected to turn and the North will then

From the Peninsula.[correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Lee's Mill, York Co., Va., April 29, 1862. More than three weeks have elapsed since General McClellan, with his colossal army, arrived it the vicinage of this consecrated place. Notwithstanding the protracted, and at times terrific, ding he has been completely batted by Gen. Magruder, who had made ample preparations to give him a reception. McClellan now finds Richmond as difficult to reach by the Peninsula as it is for his skillful ronnaut in his innumerable ascension, to learn the strength of our fortifications and the preside position of our army. Perhaps Prof. Lowe has seen mor fired; the ball took effect in the neck, and severed the head entirely from the body of one of them. We have incessant skirmishing here, day and night; and McClellan is still fortifying and reinforcing. In our opinion, his object in endeavoring to create the impression upon the public mind that he does not intend to fight us

Thomas Artillery. --This fine company, which has signalized its prowess on the field of battle, reorganized on the 23rd of April, near Yorktown, Virginia, by electing the following officers: E. J. Anderson, Captain; J. E. Sullivan, First Lieutenant; T. B. McCurdy, Second Lieutenant, and C. T. Rayner, Third Lieutenant. The company now numbers exactly one hundred men. When a fight comes off, they will be in for their share, even though "somebody may be hurt." In the battle of Manassas this company fought most gallantly, losing one of its Lieutenants. （Edgar Mason) and several men, and never flinched. If McClellan will afford the chance, it will repeat its deeds.

into the force in Eastern Virginia; and now that force in Eastern Virginia; and now that that force is in motion, it is hardly likely that any draft will be made upon it for us. The troops in the West have their hands full, so long as our Generals manage to meet the enemy with only equal, or more often inferior numbers to their own. So it seems as though General Hunter's chance for help is poor. If he is made to wait till Halleck has utterly destroyed the army of Beauregard and Polk, and McClellan has annihilated that of Joe Johnston, he will wait perforce till the war is over. What is said of the Texas Rangers. A correspondent of the New Orleans Delta (April 18) gives the following graphic description of the part which the Texas Rangers took in the great battle of Shiloh: I will promise by stating that on the 4th and 5th of April the regiment was stationed beyond Monterey, to the left and north of Owl Creek, which skirted the enemy's encampments on the right. On the
