That the invaders will be met by brave men, prepared to sacrifice life for victory, we well know, and that they will be commanded by a brave officer, whoever that may be, we also feel well satisfied. We feel, however, equally well assured that Gen. Scott, appreciating fully the importance of a first victory, has sent forward, under his best officer, such troops as are most efficient in a combat of the kind he anticipates; the most reliable, it may be, in every point of view. May Virginia be prepared, and humiliating and disastrous defeat be the fate of her invaders. South.
