n skillful marksmen, possessing cannon and small arms in abundance, and determined that the ing shall not be done such is precisely the condition and feeling of the country from Cairo to the Belize. The people are brave and enterprising; they possess arms and ammunition in abundance; they hate the Yankees as the Devil is supposed the hate holy water, and they are determined not to allow the river to be navigated by their trading boats. What good, then, will the capture of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and of every other strong place on the Mississippi, do the Yankees? They are fighting they say, for the free navigation of the Mississippi. Does this advance the cause for which they are fighting? Are they any nearer their object now then they were when they first drew the sword? Do they mean to carry on trade in iron clad ships of war?

ick Taylor have been made to cross over the Mississippi and do a great many things which they never have done — and have been rapidly moved from one point to another at a great distance in an incredibly short space of time. Magruder one day is marching upon New Orleans, when it is not probable he is outside of the boundaries of Texas. Everything is received with doubt that comes from that direction. The last report that Dick Taylor had crossed the Mississippi and was joining Gardner at Port Hudson, had completely routed Banks, and marched on to reinforce Johnston of course must be received with the incredulity that the questionable ter of everything by telegraph from that quarter is so well calculated to inspire. But all at once the telegraphers from the North appear to be ambitions of outstripping their contemporaries of the far South, and with one bound go a long way ahead of them. We are informed from Martinsburg that Gen. Lee, by an adroit move, has captured forty thousan
