AT? AIRS H THE WIST Wt! e imp .rant mortmcDti in taking place in Virginia, and theelaab of powerful coniend.ng arm tea M daily expentad, equally important move meets may be locked for In the Western and Sooth weetem portiom of the Confederacy. Tbe eoemr is marshalling all bis hoeta, gathering alt his migh*y strength, to str.ke a crushing blow against tbe so called Rebels. Maddened by the hopelessness of bis cause, despairing oferercoo qnertng the S-mto, sedd ed with an nrerwbelma ing deot. s ek and tired of the war. be is deters mined to make one more gigantic elfin for car •obligation and restoration to the raaaaiege of tb:a tyranny. \wa7 to the far off Southwest, the Lone Star State s threatened by bis hordes from the North and N irtbwest, by the Indians and the Cortinas Mexicans on the West, and by the Abolition nary on the Sooth. Her situation is a precarious one, and troops shonld be sent to her relief. Gen. Magruder has gone there to take commend of that Depanment; bat without troops military skill Will be of little arail. It is to be boped, therefore, that the appeal of the people of that State wiil be heeded, and that no more troops will be withdrawn from that quarter, and, if posjible, others sent to reinforce them. Texas has been illustrated on many battle fields by tbe intrepid ralor of her brsre sons, and in her hour of peril, the strong arms of the Confederacy should b encoded for her relief. In Arkansas, the sitnation of affairs is more hopeful. General Mrlmes is in command of the Department, and has quite a large armr at hu command. Tae raads are nnfarorable for m;!i« tarv morements in winter, and it is not probable that any decistre engagement will take plate shortly in that quarter; though our means ol j communication with that section are so limited, that tl ts very dtScult to form a correct opinion as to any morements that may be in contempia- j tion. In Louisiana, onr troops are somewhat scatter ed, and tbe Guerilla system of warfare seems to predominate there. The Yankees will not be able to oretTun the State, though they may prore exceedingly annoying along the banks of the car* igabie streams. In Mississippi,:»is highly probable that a des* pe-ate eff >rt will be male to conquer the State. T> prerent this, will he the duty of the troops und-r cimman-d of Gen. Pemberton, who is as aisled by Van Dora and Price, and an iscreas ng 1 armr. Tnat the en?mr will be de'eited, there con be no doubt. His plan will probably be to flsnk tbe Confederate army br Und, and aimiiltan oeoasty to make a rigorous atta.k with bis gun boats on Vicksburg. That glorious little city cannot be taken; and the topography of the coun tir, a« we I as tte character of the General in com mand of our forces, iesd us to beliere that’there is . but little to fear in that qusrter. The roads will j soon be impassable, and ths enemy will not Urn- ! ard a march into a hostile region, with the mere | hope of forming a inocuon with some imaginary armr from Sew Orleans and Mobile. Mississippi cannot be conquered. At Mobile there will, no doubt, be a rigorous effort on the part of the Yankees to take the : cur. Hut there, erery preparation is made to res : ceire them; and it is to be hoped that a sue- , cesaful resistance will be made. But it >a to Tennessee that we must look for the earliest and serereat conflict of the campaign in tba Writ. The enemy already holds the West ern psa'ttott of the State and a part of tba middle, and now <Wre» w obtain poaseaaion of the east ern portion, tfe I* reported to be coming d wu from Kentucky for this r°'T°» e . 1B be * TT co ' loans, onder Gen. Roaeucrana, byway of Nash »,lle_whence he will endearor to make a flank morement on Knoxrille, and, at the same time, rapture Cnattanooga, as the key to North Alabama end Georgia. so meet these morements, we hare a splendid army, admirably drillel, and in high spirits, wh ch will soon be under the command of the | accomplished Genera!, Joseph E. Johnstoa, sup ported by Bragg. Kirby Smilh, and other compe tent officer*. Alreadr, we are told, skirmisrnng has commenced between the adrance guards of both armies, in the neighborhood of Lar-rgne; and it is not at all improbable that a general eu» gagement will suon be brought on. Os the re sult, we hare no fears. Rosencranx will be de-j Gated ; .od, though tne enemy may occupy por tions of North A abama tnd Tennessee again, it will be by rirtne of his gunboats, and not by the power of Rosencranx and his gnind Abolition h >ide—and East Tennessee will not be giren up to tbe rile Hessians. Altogether, then, we think the riew of affa rs in the West it cheerful. As we hare intimated, the enetnr may succeed where his guub >at s cm ; be brought into serrice; but as for a pe-manent | success—tbit is not at all probable A thorough defeat of hts plans in the West, and a bnllanl Confederate ru-iorr in Virgin ia, mar do much towards bringing about a cunclu' s:oh of the war and an honorable peace. It be- j bosses ur G irerumcat and people, therefore, to j throw all their energies into the present cam- • naign, and to aid in miking it as “short, sharp, j and decisive” as possible.

HOMUBLE YANKEE OUTRAGE-TEN CON* FEDERATES MU SDERED - FULL PABnCU* LARS OF THE SCENE. j Saturday last, the 18tb instant, witnessed tbe pcrf'>niuoce of a tragedy io tnis onceq jiet and beauttfu; cay of P-lmt’ra, which, ia crdinari.y peaceful non?*, would have created a profound sensation tkr. jghont the ect«re country, but which now sca'ceiy produces a distinct* r pple upon th- surface of oar turou’ent social tide. It will be remembered by our readers that no the occasion of Porter s descent up >n Palmyra, he capiured among ether pers- Q*, an old and bighiy respected resident of this citv, by came, Andrew Atisman. Tnis person formerly belong ed to tne 3d M ssoun cavalry, ihougo too old to endure ail the Lor dab ips of very active duty. He was, therefore, detailed as a kind ot special or ex tra provost marshal’* guard or cicerone—making himself generally useful in a variety of wavs to ! the military of tne place. Beirg an old resident , and widely acquainted with me people ot the place and vicinny. he was frequency called upon for information touching tne loyaity or men : which he always gave to the ex ent of his abilitv, 1 though acting, we be.ieve, in ail such cases, with j ! gr*at candor, and actuated solely by a conscien tious dee.re to discharge his whole duty to his Government. His knowledge of the surround ng country was the reiaon ot his being frequently called upon to act as a guide to -ccuting parties sent out to arrest disloyal persons. So efficiently and successfully did he act in these various capac.ixes, tnat he won the bitter hatred of all the rebels in this city and vicinity, and they only awaited the coming oif a favorable opportum* j ty to gratify their desire for revenge. The op- portuoity came at last, when Porter took Palmy , ra. That the ruling, with Porter's assent, aaiiat , ed their thirst for h * blood by the deliberate and j predetermined murder of their helpless ▼•. cum, no truly loyal man dmb's. When they sii.ed mm, or how, or where, are item* of the act not yet revealed to the public. Woetber he was stabbed at m-dcign: by the dagger ot the assassin, !or sbo; a; midday by tbe nfle ot the guerriiia; wLeier he was hung, and h s body hiaden be neath the scanty soil of some oaken thicket, or I left as food fur h<>gs to fatten upon; or whether, tike the lilfated Wheat, his throat was severed from ear to ear, and h'g bodr sunk beneath tne grave—we know not. But ihat he was fouihr. cu se.rssiy murdered, it is useless to attempt to deuv When General McNeil returned to Palmyra, af ter that event, and ascertained the c:rcamst»uces under whicn All man had been abducted, he caused to be issued, after due the following notice: Palmt&a, Mo., Ocu 5, 1582.

THE APPEARANCE OF THE YANKEE ARMY IN FRONT OF FREDERICKSBURG— SHEETS THROWN INTO THE TOWN-SUPPOSED DESTINATION OF THE THREATENING FORCE. The Fredericksburg Hersld Las a highly inttr- I eating account of the militarr operations in the vicinity of that city. The information re- j on Sunday night that the eoemr had left | and were mor:Qg on Fredericksburg in force. Tne Herald says: Early Monday the «treets were fiiied with ' rumors as to the character of the advance, one ’ 1 man, from the upper part of Stafford, saying there | had passed his be use three bngaces. emcracmz ; cavalry, infantry, and artillery. About nun toe , enemy arrived on the hi’is m the rear of Falmouth. \ bat kept their force oat of view, being drawn bp ! from Lawsan's Hill back as far as Mr. Johß R | Fi'xoagh's. The enemy planted four pieces of artillery in the skirt of woods on the hill at Miss Mary Scott’s, a commanding position. Four!; otaer pieces we-e understood to be on the high- 1 wav in the immediate neighborhood. We tad four pieces of artillery near the “White Flams” ! boas?, (Mr S.
