r upon their arms the omen of a like glorious result in the end, and the triumph of Southern arms in the conflict just closed has cast a feeling of misgiving throughout every city of the North. People here, indeed, are astounded at the military tact, capabilities and shrewdness of the "enemy," and they now find, after a most bitter, costly and bloody lesson, that they have a foe to deal with who is worthy of their steel. When the Northern army where fighting women and children in Western Virginia and Missouri, the accounts of their success in such "wonderful" conflicts fairly made the North dance with joy, and that same bombastic North really believed it could whip all creation in less than no time. When the march "on to Richmond" was commenced, however, the sad and unexpected result of that "march" (backwards) opened the blind eyes of our people, and they found they were fighting an "enemy" who could outnumber them two to one, and who would contest step by step and inch by inc

Reported arrest of Nelson, of Tennessee --A rumor has been current for a day or two that the traitor T A. R. Nelson, of Tennessee, the companion of Andy Johnson, had been deprived of his personal liberty and cut short in his evil career. The Lynchburg Republican, of yesterday, alludes to the circumstance, and says Nelson was arrested in Western Virginia while endeavoring to make his way to Washington, to take his seat in Lincoln's Congress as a Representative from Tennessee. The report seems to be authentic, and we hope the traitor will get what he deserves. Nelson has no more right to represent a district of Tennessee in the Federal Congress than the Yankee Upton has to represent a district of Virginia. They are birds of a feather.

we never heard that he was more conspicuous there than many other officers of his rank. His principal feat was the surprise of a little handful of troops in Western Virginia, which he accomplished by the aid of a traitor. But if his campaign in Western Virginia, the principal theatre of his fame, be accepted as a test of his milWestern Virginia, the principal theatre of his fame, be accepted as a test of his military merit, what does it prove? According to the statements of the Republican papers, he had in that region an army of thirty-seven thousand men, with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at his command, and the great advantage of occupying a friendly country, with communications which could be safely maintained from every foot of hid with reinforcements, if needed, and munitions of war from Ohio. Fortunately, we are not left to conjecture the real object of Gen. McClellan's invasion of Western Virginia, for a Cleveland (Ohio) paper, which is undoubtedly well hooked up on his whole programme, and which stated in advance, with singular accuracy, up to a certa
