He felt certain that as soon as the enemy knew of our crossing down here, the forces under Johnson would be recalled, and he wanted to meet this force and beat it before Jackson could make a Junction with them, or before Jackson could make a Junction with them, or before Jackson could come down on our flank and perhaps cripple us.

I had recommended that some supplies should be rent to the month of the Rappahannock, with a view of establishing a depot at Port Royal after we had advanced. Stores have been always in as great abundance as we could have expected, for, after the 19th of November, the weather and the roads were particularly bad. Horses and mules were sent down to us, so that our cavalry and teams were in very good condition. After it w

Van-Dorn's Recent Exploits — Memphis not Attacked. Mobile, Dec. 29. --A special to the Advertiser dated Granada 28th, says Van-Dorn captured and paroled over 2,300 prisoners, destroyed over $3,000,000 worth of Federal stores, burnt a thousand bales of cotton, took 1,000 army revolvers, 5,000 stand of small arms, horses and mules, and a large amount of other property. Van-Dorn did not go in the vicinity of Memphis, as it was too strongly fortified and garrisoned, and for the same reason he avoid Bolivar; but captured all their pickets and burnt the bridges and trestle work on all the railroads necessary for their line of communication. Our loss was not over thirty. Forrest did not attack Jackson, but has been tearing up the railroad track and doing good service generally Van-Dorn's whole force was 2,750 men. The reported attack on Memphis was a partisan ranger raid, which gave the Yankees a big scare.

o lead so large an army as McClellan's. This is no discredit to Gen. Burnside, but to those who perpetrated the folly of forcing him into the position. The genius for leading small bodies and large bodies is entirely different. Beauregard did very well with 30,000 men; but when he took command of 100,000 he failed Pope behaved very well with a small, independent command, and with a portion of a great army; but when he took command of large army in Virginia he made a sad business of it. Jackson is an enterprising brilliant General, with 20,000 or 30,000 men under his command; but give him the army that Lee commands, and the chances are ten to one that he would fail. The genius of McClellan is very like that of Lee, and he is the only man we know of at present who is able to cope with him. Gen. Scott indicated him as the best commander for the whole army, and it is the rashest presumption on the part of more civilians--third rate lawyers — to remove him from it, and put in his pla
