From The South

We are not without indications of the' course of the oampaign of 1865. Thö leaAing idea has been plainl)' dave'oped, and is confirmed by manv circumstances and eigftfr Grant designs vo accumulatE as lnrge a forcé as possible in his prcso;it, positi.in and assail Richrnond noxt spring with all the power he can oommnnd. In ordur to avoid distrae-' tion by Confedérate movements upon Washington, he gave to 8 herid a n the barbaron order to desolate the vulley. Begarding tbat is the line of inurch upon Maryland, he resolved to mako it impracticable by making army supplies irnpopsible. In liannony with the same design of removiug all danger of annoyance in Northern Virginia, is the infatny of the eoursi ordereu against M'isby. By barbarity against the men. of that oomjnand, and against the ciiizens for their sakes, it is sought to drive Mosby away, through the appeals addrotised at once to tho fears aud the syinpatbies of hia men. 'ibis extraordinnry dexiire to avoic hostilices in Northern Virginia, to ee cure which result the basest barbarians are appealed to and employed, evinces the great ansiety of Geu. Grant to ef feot the conoentrution of his whole slrenglh against Kichmond, Every ob staclo to this must be removed at wbat ever expense of' personal honor, and by whatever outrage on humanitv and the sentiments of the Christian world. Taught by these exhibitions, we see our cluty. Eichmond must be put in the bighest (jossible condition for defense against the coming of the spring. No labor must be spared on our defenses no skill be ueglected iu contriving them We appoal to those on hom the charge of sueh preparations may dovolve, to exhibit the most sleeplesg activitv and devotion. No work must be eonsidered etrong enough ïf it can be made atronger. Nothing can be aonsidered complete if it can be improved or added to. This in the opportuaity f'or industry and engineering skill. The stronger our works the fewer men will be rcqnired to hold tbem, and the largar the nuinber to resim flank movements. High and wide embankments, fronted by deep and wide ditches, fringed with cbevaux detrise, and guarded in advance, by weli arranged abaltis, should frown along our whole line. Let Kichmond prepare itself for the strugglu, We trust it will uot be a gatheriug-place for those not compelied to be here by their ernployinefit. The decks should be eléared of whatever might impede the figlit. By the blessiug of God, we will clisapp int Mr. G-raUt aguin, and save our beautiful city ; bnt we must get ready for the onset, and lor the trials it may bring. Nor must the enemy be indulged in hie desira to relieve himself of apprehensions in Northern Virginia. Washington is atender pmnt with hitn, The Bülümore and Ühio railroad is_a valua blo point. Threatened by a stnall, enterpiising force, it will require to be watched and defended by a large force. We must have more Mosbys there ra h er than cali away the present. We must threaten and wu must strike in all that región, fatling on where least expected A rule of war is to do the very thing that the enemy does not wish. Thenlet Mosby eularge his nuitïbera and increase his vigor, and be strengtheoed bv fif coadjutore, and Grant will be woakeDed d his grand ente 'ptieté. All the winter is belore us, in which to prepare for the trial which will come with the spring. We have time enongh but none to upare. The enemy will be diligent, we munt not be less so. Any one clothfd with public trusts who may f all short of his dUy here, on this deeply inturestiog occasion, will earn for himself the curses of his countrymen and the execration of history. He who efficiently discharges his part will win for himself a proud name and an enduring popular giatitude and appl iuse,
