a battle, drives it down the Mississippi, and crosses this river as soon as it finds it convenient. AIII, or the Kentucky army, acts in a similar way; it passes Ohio , attacks the rebel Army BIII, forces it back, and follows the retreating BIII on the line to Nashville. BIII and BIV are inferior to AIII or AIV; but BIII and BI Army AV, and 25,000 from the Western Virginian Army AVI-the whole now forming a total of 260,000 to 270,000 men, who occupy a position on the right bank of the Upper Ohio. AVI is on its way from Port Royal to New York. AV, consisting now of only 25,000 men, is on the banks of the Ohio and Mississippi. AIV is near Memphis, on tvery slight, we cannot suppose that anything decisive will happen in this engagement.

Different passages of the Potomac, Mississippi, Ohio, and Missouri are discussed there; it is shown how different the result would be, if, instead of crossing, for instance, the Mississippi at Memphis, it was crossed at Cairo. If we have but one point where we can cross the river, and if our only line of retreat leads through this point, it must be fortified; the fort, called the tete-de-pont, should be large enough to hold at least a part of our army. The more the bridge is of importance, the stronger the fortifications should be. As
