The new year has been fruitful of success with us, and our leaders seem actively engaged to secure a continuance. Our forces iu the military field of operations, are being greatly strengthened, though by some it is feared at the expense of other as important fields. thing is certain, the enemy are mating the moat stupendous preparation? the necessity of reduoing Richmond, has become to them a dire necessity, for in it seems to bang, with them, the destiny of Mr.

We mentioned in oar last, that the reoters of the Statesrille, N. rail road, had patriotically surrendered a portion of their iron for the completion of the Danville road to Riobraond. We sinoe learn rhat only about six miles of the rails jast above Mount Monroe wiU be taken The cere will continue to run between Mount Mcurne Aid Charlotte, and as soon as strap iron enough can be obtained to put in the place of the rails removed, we presume the whole line will be put in operation again. As this sctiou will reliqye the York road for the present, we hope it will no? prevent a general meeting of the Stockholders, called for Friday next. jTJgl RESERVE ORGANIZATION.

The same steps have been taken in other quarters, according to the Petersburg Express, whioh says: Pleasure seekers and business men, outride of the armv. are to have a reason of 0 rest, for a yrbilo at least. The Provost Marshal in this has received an order forbidding him to grant passports oo any of the between Riohmood and Augusta, except to persons traveling on business for, the government, officers and soldiers on furlough. This order comes from General Cooper, Adjutant and Inspector General, and is imperative. In some instances, it wilL operate with seeming hardship on persons desiring to visit sick relatives at a distance, but as to the mere pleasure seeker, and man of business, they can well afford to forego a trip, when the demands of the government require all the available space ou the railroad trains.

H. Maury, Major General Commanding. 1 The Victory in Louisiana. In our telegraphic column tbie morning will be found an official despatch from Gen. Maury, commanding at Mobile, to the War Department, announcing another brilliant success of the Confederate arms.

The recently much boasted Yankee expedition up Red River, after capturing -Alexandria and Natchitoches, pushed on, it seems, and made an attack in full foroe upon the Confederate army near Shreveport, the presen? scat of government in Louisiana, very near the Texas border. The recent northern papers expressed the opinion very confidently that this town would be captured without resistance. But Banks has now to tell them a very different tale. His ovn Surgeon General, in an official despatch to the commandant at Baton Ronge, gives him the information that the Yankee army bad been repulsed in the vicinity of'Sbreveport by the Confederates, "with great loss." The admission of a defeat in such terms as these, can only leavo the inference that it was a very disastrous one. It will be some days before we receive the Confederate aocount of the battle, bat it oan scarcely be doubted that it will tarn oat to be a signal victory, as the forces most have been luge on both of.

Banks of coarse oatnumbering the Confederates. Thus have the Yankees failed in every preliminary movement this Spring. Seymour, in Florida, was badly whipped; Sherman, in Qentral Mississippi, had to retreat from Meridian and abandon his expedition; Qrierson and Smith, in Northern Mississippi, were terribly used np by For- 1 yet, and now Banks, in Lonisiana, has been mauled.

So far the accession to the enemy's forces in Northern Virginia has been from farloughed men and ia inconsiderable. In Che reorganization of Grant's army there are enumerated thirty two estimating the average cf a Yankee regiment at three hundred and fifty men, wonld give Gramt about forty fonr thousand infantry. These figures are not the result of speculation, but of an investigation, the full particulars of which we give tiaro ia qnnnnsfld fchftfc ftranfc nnnnnt non venieotly or prudently draw any large reinforcements from Tennessee or Mississippi, as he certainly oonld not replace his garrisons in the West by oolored troops or other indifferebt material. He will have to look for reinforcements from unimportant posts in the North and from his coast lines, and from these if he draws twenty thousand men he will have gone to the extent of his present resources. The movements of Forrest, until he is again within our lines, will necessarily be the attraction in the West.

The public speoulation maps out for this gallant and adventurous oommand an extended field of oper- ations and important results. Some suppose t(hat Nashville be the object, i while others imagine Forrest's oertain cap- ture of Memphis before he to his original base of operations. But this, of course, is all conjecture. His invasion of Tennessee and Kentucky may be a part of a general plan of campaign, dnyolving other important movements; or it may be entirely independent'of all connection with the movement of all other armies and commands.

Large numbers of the northern counties of Virginia, are heing arrested by the enemy. This has been the usual prelude to general movements, and may, in the present instance, be intended to cover designs looking to a change in the present position of Meade's now Grant's army. Late and Beliable From Forrest. We had the pleasure of meeting, last evening, with Maj. Chief Qctartermaster of Geo.

Forrestfa command, who is visiting Selma on offioial business, and to whom we are indebted for many particulars of General Forrest's campaign into Ken. tuoky, which lave not appeared in the public prints. Yesterday evening a courier arrived, bringiog despatches from the command, together with an autograph letter from Gen. Forrest to Major Soverson, dated the 28th ultimo, at Jackson, West Tennessee, where bis command'were resting after their arduous and successful resulting in the capture of Paducak, Union City, Hickman, and other places, with vast quantities of military stores, whioh he succeeded in bringing to his own depots Without any serious hindrance. His whole campaign was a series of triumphs, most important in results, not the least of which is the restored conhdenoe or toe people ot west lennessee, tboasands of whom are daily flocking to his standard.

In addition to the military stores captured brought away over 2,000 fine horses and mules. Three hundred of these he found in one Government Stable, "at Padooah, Kentucky. This surplus he pects Ionise in equipping bis command. The goneral tenor of his information is to the effect that the long, languishing spir- it of the people of West Tennessee is fully aroused, and that in a short time General Forrest's command wilt be so augmented in numbers as to be invinoible against any force which the enemy can bring against it. Indeed, there seems to bo that prescience of viotory, which accompanies his every movement, and which seems to ban? about bis very name, that has so inspired the country with confidence, and his troops to 1 deeds of heroism that scarcely find a paral- lei in the reoords of chivalry.

When he will move, of where ha will strike the next blow, it is not for ns to say, but it will be a sad day for the enemy when he brings his legions against those who have so long and 1 30 cruelly oppressed them.

The vessel being of iron the bow sunk instantly, and in a few minutes afterwards the stern also disappeared, lea- 1 ving nothing but the spars and small frag- ments of the upper deck afloat. The sur- i vivors, Dent and Burke, were disoovered 1 on the evening of the third day a little be- fore dark floatingjm a spar, by Capt. LTabenicht, of the schooner Petrel.

Another REVOLCgriON in Martin, one of the exiles of 1848, is preparing, by addresses in the organs of Extremists, for another movement in Ireland. A committee, headed by ohue and other politicians, has been formed, and an address issued. All Irishmen are invited to join the party.

The constitution of the league they promise to publish shortly. Violent resistance to England is discountenanced; but it is thought that she, apprehensive of foreign difficulties, would yield to their just demands. Impressment op Milch VIII. of the General Orders of Adjutant General Cooper, published 25th day of Marco, iso4, says: impressment der-this or any other order shall be made of miloh cows, or of the breeding stock of any farm or plantation."

It will be well for farmers to demand'an of the authority upon whioh Gederal Cooper's order is Courier.

Insects generally must I ead a truly jovial life. Think, what it must be to lodge in a lilly Imagine a palace of ivory and pearl, with pillars of silver and capitals of gold, all exhaling snob a perfume as never rose from a. human eenser.

Johnson, of Middleton University, was one day before the students on mineralogy. He had before bim quite a number of specimens of va-' rious sorts to illustrate the subjeot. A roguish Btudent, for sport, slily slipped a piece of brick'amoog the stones. The Professor was taking up the stones, one after another, and naming them. "This," said he, "is a piece of granite; this is a pieoe of feldspar," Presently he came to the briok Without betraying any kind of Bnrprise, or even changing his tone of voice, "This," said he, holding it up, "is a piece of impudence." 'VA It is a wonderful illustration of the value of Government interposition in repressing the extortions of monopoly, that salt, once the dearest artiole of our domestic consumption, is now the cheapest.

It is manufactured away off in the mountains, and furnished, to consumers here at ten cents per pound; while for oorn meal one dollar per pound is exacted, and a dollar and a half per ponnd for floor. Our islature thought it to one case, and behold the happy result. They thought it unwise in the other case, and the people mourn in consequence. Richmond Sentinel. A St.

Louis paper tells this: A man and wife were engaged in arranging for seperation. The only difficulty of was the baby. The wife tearfully begged to be allowed to keep "the dear little fellow," while the husband angrily persistently refused. At length the wife almost threw the child in the husband's arms and exclaimed, "Take him I can soon have another." The Hoq Choleea A prominent and influential citizen' informs the Montgomery Advertiser that for a long time his porkers have suffered from this very common complaint.
