r being turned over to us. The Cincinnati Commercial in commenting on the claims of the West, remarked that the "West ought to be made the vanguard of the war," and proceeded: We are akin by and geography with Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri and in sentiment to the noble Union patriots, who have a majority of three to one in all those States. An Ohio army would be received with joy in Nashville, and he welcomed in a speech of congratulation by Andrew Johnson. Crittenden and Frank Blair are keeping Kentucky and Missouri all right. The rebellion will be crushed out before the assemblage of Congress — no doubt of it. Not a Yankee paper at that time had the remotest idea of the conflict — not one that rose to the emergencies of the occasion. All were filled with passion, rant, and bombast. From the Chief Executive down to the lowest subaltern, the raging idea of "wiping out the South, " "an easy conquest," and so on, went roaring, like a prairie on fire, from right t

In the meantime the greater portion of Vanhorn's cavalry have crossed Duck river, and in a few days the whole body will be over, striking at Siegel from every direction. It is possible for them to impede his roads, destroy his trains, cut off his detachments, and afford such annoyance and harass him so severely, that his j foe at close quarters. For what purpose this is intended I cannot conjecture unless it be that they contemplate throwing an additional bridge across the Cumberland at Nashville. It is possible, too, that it is intended for the passage of Duck river at this point. If the latter surmise prove correct, it is evidently the enemy's intention to throw this force upon our left flank at Shelbyville, where Gen. Folk is believed to command. It this prove to be the programme, he must now be waitin

I got under way immediately, and steamed with all speed in thay and her engine rendered useless, I still maintained an active fire with the double hope of disabling the Alabama and attracting the attention of the fleet off Galveston, which was only 28 miles distant. It was soon reported to me that shells had entered the Hatteras at water line, tearing off entire sheets of iron, and thaters and men I caused the armament on the port-side to be thrown overboard. After considerable delay caused by the report that a steamer was seen coming from Galveston, the Alabama sent us assistance, and I have the pleasure of informing the Department that every living being was conveyed safely from the Hatteras to the Alabama

re band of ragamuffins — will fly like chaff before the wind on our approach. The Western Yankees were as violent as the Northern or Eastern. As a specimen of the "big talk" of the West we select a paragraph from the Chicago Tribune. Its was simple enough to believe that "Linois could whip the whole South by herself." That paper said: Let the East get out of the way — this is a war of the West. We can fight the battle and successfully, within two or three months at farthest. Illinois can whip the South herself. We insist on the matter being turned over to us. The Cincinnati Commercial in commenting on the claims of the West, remarked that the "West ought to be made the vanguard of the war," and proceeded: We are akin by and geography with Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri and in sentiment to the noble Union patriots, who have a majority of three to one in all those States.

Thus it will be seen that by a rapid and secret movement, 20,000 reinforcements have been skillfully placed at the disposal of Rosecrans, so that he may build his large army upon Bragg and crush him out; and, if successful in doing this, cross a large flanking army through the country via Corinth or Columbus, Mississippi, upon the rear of Vicksburg. A letter to the Savannah Republican, from Columbia, Tenn., commenting on the above facts, says: This movement is one of the highest importance, and, without it be properly met, may result most disastrously to our arms. The note of warning is barely in time, for by this day week there is every probability that Siegel will have formed a junction with Rosecrans, and give him the balance of power to wield against the army under command of Braxton Bra

Progress of the war. Official report of the Loss of the Hatteras — her Commanders Account of the Affair. The mystery of "who sunk the Hatteras" is at last decided. The Yankee papers contain the following highly interesting report by her commander of the capture of his vessel: U. S. Consulate, Kingston Jamaica, January 21, 1863 To. Hon. Gidson Welles, Secretary of the Navy: Sir: it is may painful duty to inform the Department of the destruction of the United States steamer Hatteras, recently under my command, by the rebel steamer Alabama on the night of the 11th inst., off the cost of Texas. The circumstances of the disaster are as follows: On the afternoon of the 11th inst, at 3.50 o'clock, while at anchor in company with the fleet, with Commander Boll, of Galveston, I was ordered by signal from the flag ship Brooklyn to chase a sail to southward of eastward.

The aspect at this movement is not very favorable, but we trust to the foresight of Johnston and Bragg to meet the exigencies of the central campaign. In the meantime the greater portion of Vanhorn's cavalry have crossed Duck river, and in a few days the whole body will be over, striking at Siegel from every direction. It is possible for them to impede his roads, destroy his trains, cut off his detachments, and afford such annoyance and harass him so severely, that his junction will be no trifling matter. It is understood that two divisions of Siegel's advance are at Franklin, 23 miles distant, and that that place is defended by some thirty odd pieces of artillery. Were it not for the misfortune of two-thirds of Van-Dorn's ammunition having been destroyed by the heavy rains through
