taking Columbus, to long defer the attack in carrying out their favorite plan of descending the Mississippi. They say they must have it, and we are all the time adding to the strength and nature of its defences. Reinforcements are arriving daily, and we now have sufficient force here, I think, to repulse the enemy, no matter in what number. I do not expect another engagement, unless a naval one entirely, before next week, as the roads are now too moist for the enemy's artillery. The Lincoln gun-boats, I think, may be expected at any moment. I have barely time before the mail closes to narrate an anecdote too good to be lost. One of our Generals had been very frequently applied to with requisitions for Spiritous vini Gallici, the abbreviation Spir, vini. Gal. only being used, and the General not knowing what was meant, but supposing that the applicants, (surgeons, of course,) only wanted some kind of medicine, granted every application. He applied to the medical purveyor to

in this policy. Heretofore we had to cope with the Federals at such disadvantages that it would have been the height of impolicy to have provoked them by invasion; but now that our resources are sufficient to make us respectable contestants, the attempt of the enemy to divert our forces should be counteracted by our diverting theirs, by resorting to the very means they use to divert ours, namely, invasion, or at all events some demonstration of active hostility. The threatening advance of Price and McCulloch against St. Louis, for illustration, has in some measure already demonstrated that the policy of attack would greatly relieve Kentucky. The present inert policy is certainly opening the door of invasion very wide to the enemy, without affording any advantage to ourselves, whereas by invading their territory, or even attacking their lines, we would draw their armies back from our soil to defend their own. My opinion is, that the enemy regard this as too important a point,

From our army in Kentucky. [Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Columbus, Ky., Dec. 4, 1861. Contrary, no doubt, to what you might expect from your point of observation, our Army will, I presume, go into winter quarters. The rigors of the season furnish a severe argument against any forward movements just at present. I am afraid that our policy is too severely defensive, both here and upon the line of the Potomac. The President's plan to merely repel invasion I have regarded as the correct one, if not carried to that extreme that would seem to grant the enemy a too conscious immunity and security from all intrusion on our part. But occasion has arrived, I think, for change in this policy. Heretofore we had to cope with the Federals at such disadvantages that it would have been the height of impolicy to have provoked them by invasion; but now that our resources are sufficient to make us respectable contestants, the attempt of the enemy to divert our forces should be

--Speculation is again on foot on the subject of the rumored appointment of a General to rank Price and McCulloch for the District of Missouri and Arkansas. The report of the intention of the Pret had abandoned the idea of this appointment, if he had ever entertained it. The rumor that Price was to be ranked by a young Confederate officer, just promoted, traveled on the wings of the winpapers received at this office, excited one universal bust of disapprobation. The popularity of Price is not exceeded by that of any General in the Confederate service. No one of them has achieved s altogether unmistakable. It is understood that there was some rivalry and discord between Price and McCulloch, and that it was deemed the best way to quiet their troubles to appoint an officerat public sentiment has been so average to his superseding or ranking the brave and successful Gen. Price. The regret has been to be forced to object to the appointment of an officer against whom so

ary District of Missouri. --Speculation is again on foot on the subject of the rumored appointment of a General to rank Price and McCulloch for the District of Missouri and Arkansas. The report of the intention of the President to appoint Colonel Heth to that post, as Major-General, excited a good deal of comment and feeling some days since. But the report had since quieted down, and it was stated on pretty good authority that the President had abandoned the idea of this appointment, if helection of an old and distinguished General would have saved both the rival Generals somewhat of that mortification that would be inflicted by placing over them a young officer not yet greatly experienced, however accomplished he might be. Col. Heth is an officer of decided merit. He is a man of true courage and honor; and it is in no unkind spirit to him, evidently, that public sentiment has been so average to his superseding or ranking the brave and successful Gen. Price.

But the report had since quieted down, and it was stated on pretty good authority that the President had abandoned the idea of this appoinuth. Especially is this the case in the West, and the temper of the public sentiment there upon the rumor that he was to be superseded was altogether unmistakable. It is understood that there was some rivalry and discord between Price and McCulloch, and that it was deemed the best way to quiet their troubles to appoint an officer superior to them both. But even in adopting that course it is generally contended that the reelection of an old and distinguished General would have saved both

nd it is in no unkind spirit to him, evidently, that public sentiment has been so average to his superseding or ranking the brave and successful Gen. Price. The regret has been to be forced to object to the appointment of an officer against whom so little could be said — indeed one so much respected wherever he was known. The regret was that so promising an officer should, upon his promotion to so high a position, be forced to incur a sort of public aversion for superseding the man, at this time one of the greatest of the public favorites. The rumor that this appointment is to be made is again circulated on the streets, with what truth we are unable to say. But we trust that the matter of the trouble of the commands in Missouri and Arkansas may yet be arranged to the satisfaction of the brave people out there, and without detriment to the cause, or prejudice to that General who has proved himself one at least amongst those who are equal to the present great and grand exigency.

ion made by Dr. Wm. Grebe, who gave it as his opinion, from the general appearance of the deceased, that death was caused by an attack of apoplexy. It was proved that Mr. Dohm went to the theatre on Monday night with two other gentlemen, from whom he got separated in the crowd about the door at the close of the performance, and nothing is known of his movements subsequently. He was found lying upon his face, and the only mark visible was a slight bruise upon the forehead, caused by the fall. The jury, therefore, rendered a verdict that his death was caused by apoplexy. We are informed by Mr. Gibson, agent of the Express Company in this city, that Mr. Dohm was a man of industrious and exemplary habits, and universally popular among his acquaintances. He was unmarried, but leaves a mother and sister in Baltimore, to whose support he has mainly contributed for years past. His body will be placed in a vault in Hollywood Cemetery, with a view to its eventual removal to Maryland.
