On the contrary, it was written by McClellan, who penned that brief and pithy dinputeh from Alexandria on the 1st day of September, 1802, when th uittorganiitod battalions of Major- dpneial rope were hastening towards the protecting defences of nashing- ton. To day the world knows that his fuars were well founded. Never had the day looked darker for tho Federal cause than then. Never had the over throw of the Confederacy seemed so Hopeless. Horse still a proat and real danger menaced the Federal scat ol government. 'iue authorities trenv bled in their bureaux ; each moment they expected to neo tho red battle Aug of Leo upon the Arlington hills, each instant to hear the tramp of his legions under the walls of the CapitoL Throughout the tbreo preceding days they had heard the lone- contin uous roar of cannon from the fields of Fairfax. Every hour great parties of stragglers had made their appearance opposite Chain Bridge. Every mo ment, almost, until the wires no longer worked, depressing telegrams had 'come from the army of General Pope, and each one was more disheartening than the last. All knew that a great battle had been fought again on the bleak plains dotted with pine trees, opposite the weird Stone Bridge; that tho fields of Manassas, already crowded with dead, had again become the clmrncl house of xther thousands tlint the shadows there had deep ened, the Ppot become trebly cursed again by blood and destruction. Tho result of that three days' roar of can non and rattle of musketry was the pithy telegram which is given above: "This week is tho crisis of our fate." Now, what were the events which rolled the great wave of battle once more to the shores of Bull Bun, ad dine; a newer and far more tragic in-1 terest to the sombre hills and ravines of this historic spot T The fifth act of a tragedy is badly understood with out a knowledge of tho acts which precede it. In rapidly tracing these, time will not bo lost, nor is it the amusement of the reader which we aim lit. The truth of the Virginia campaigns has been buried beneath treat tomes full of falsehood beneath enormous party pamphlets like the ''Report of the Committee on the Con duct ol the war, wuere every grain of wheat is hidden by a bushel of chaff where, consequently, it is chief ly chaff on which the reader feeds. Chaff is not a wholesome diet To those who prefer the wheat of truth, these sketches are addressed. What had ocenrred in that month of August, 1802, was this: Defeated before Richmond, General McClellan had drawn upon his devo ted head the thnndcr and lightning of the Federal displeasure. The world said that the hapless issue there re sulted from the generalship of Leo, and tho fighting qualities of his troops. General llalleck said that it resulted from the incapacity of McClellan. In vain did General McClellan "propose 4o cross James River at that point," Harrison's Landing, "attack Peters burg, and cut fff the enemy's communi cation Ig that route South," which plan, w hen General Grant adopted it, was grcoted with hosannalis. What was thus greeted in 104, was contemptu ously scouted in 102 McClellan sug gested it, not Grant and tho record remains, ucneral llaiiccK "slatou to him very fraukly my views in regard to tho danger and impracticability of the plan be was not allowed to carry out his "impracticable" scheme; more still, he was summoned to Wash ington, shelved there, and his forces were assigned to General Tope, then lent upon a great advance toward tho Rspidan. General Pope arrived at his head quarters in a car decked out with flag; stated, it is said, that hitherto he bad seen nothing of bis enemies "but their backs;" aud issued an order to the army in which he said: "Let us study the prohable line of retreat of our opponents, and leave our own to lake care ol itself. Jt us look before and not behind. Disaster and abamc lurk in tho rear." The sequel, as the reader will per ceive, was the most terrible and gro tesque of commentaries on the Gener al's military theory. It was on his "line of retreat" that Jackson strnck the mortal blow at him. General Pope thus bade defiance to military scionce and fate, and it can not be said that he conciliated the smiles of Providence, tho All-Merciful who watches over the helpless. Cul peper Countv was desolntod with fire and sword ' When the Federal troops retreated, it was one great waste, full I jf homo'ess and starving women and children, whose cries went up to God. Hut let that pass. The first blow struck by General Pope was not for tunate, lie delivered battle at Odar Mountain, w here, on the 1th of Au gust, on a lovely afternoon, he was defeated by Jackson. The fight was obstinate, and the field covered with dead; but the August moon, bathing the slopes of Slaughter Mountain, saw the southern banner floating on the battle field, and the Federal forces hastening back toward Culpeper Court llonse, pursued by Jackson. This battle, General Pope said after wards, wu lost bv General Banks, in conseouenee of his disobedience of orders. That General denied the charge, and bronght a "railing accu sation" against General Pope, ol inca pacity, and indisposition to venture on the field of battle. Tbe record docs not make the troth apparent, for the clearest issue of veracity is in rolved relating to tho ordors.

They had abandoned alt fur ther efforts to take Richmond from below, and had concentrated north of the Rappahannock. Gen. Lee accord ingly put his main body in motion; advanced to the Rnpidan, crossed that river, and streamed forward to cut on his opponents from the Rappahannock a movement which induced thorn to fall buck with rapidity, and tako up a position on tho northern margin of tbe stream. Such was the first illustration of tbe Federal General's theory in reference to linos or retreat. Thatcmeisfir lurk ed in the rear was now to receive i proof more emphatic. iielore crossing the J&pidan, Gen eral btuart, commanding the cavalry of the Longstroct army, had met with a vexatious miohap. lie bad ordered one of his brigades to rendezvous at tbe little village of Verdicrsville had gone thither with his staff, and omit ting, as usual, every precaution look ing to his personal safety, had lain down on tbe porch of a small house in tho village, where he slept unguarded even by a single viJette. The conse quence was ' that a Federal cavalry regiment, prowling Around, surprised him just at dawn ; ho was forced to leap on horseback and jump tbe fence to escape and so hasty was this movement, the enemy being closo up on him, that be left behind him his hat and cape, which they bore off in triumph, to the great disgust of tho gay cavalier. Verdiersvillo was thus apot where Stnart had registered a laughing oath of vengeance. Ho was now about to fulfill it with a "poetic justice" seldom met with outside of the covers of a romance. General Tope had retreated beyond the Jtappuhannoek, where he thun dered at every ford with his numer ous artillery, and an attack in front was evidently injudicious, it not im practicable. To flank him was evi dently the most judicious course, and to cut his communications would seri ously cripple him. Stuart set out with his cavalry to cripplo them. Io the midat of night and storm, be struck the Orange railroad at Cat lctts; charged pell-mell into the Fed eral camps; throw everything into enormous confusion, and ransacked the whole place. Catletts was Gen eral Pope's headquarters, but be was either absent or managed to escape, lie, however, left behind him his most private official papors, and his person al effects, including his uniform coat. Theso were borne off by Stnart, and safely brought back. The papers contained the fullest statement of General Pope's forces, position, designs; his hopes, fears, all that should be guarded, under triple s:ecl, from an adversary. If General Leo bad determined upon the great flank movement which followed, these papers confirmed his intention. If ho bad not, they decided him. Stuart returned laughing to his quarters. On tho way no met Gen. Jackson. "Here is Pope's coat, General," he said, holding it np ; "if he will send me back my hat, 1 will send him back his coat." Jackson smiled, as ho always did when bo heard the laughing accents of that brave voice. Then he became thoughtful again ; he was developing in bis profound intellect tho details of the great blow which, in obedience to the orders of Leo, he was about to deliver. The design of Lee was more than daring, it was correct. Absurdest of the absurd is that philosophy of var which, ignorantly pointing to Cir-sar and Napoleon as examples, erects au dacity above science, and decries sound principles in warfare. Examine the campaigns of Lee, the greatest living soldier, and his movements every where will he found "correct." Place him where Gen. Pope then was he would never bavo been flanked and cut off. General Pope's order dosirod the men to "dismiss from their minds certain phrases lines of retreat, and bases of supply." Ilia destruction followed. Lee's plan was simply to send a column of about 20,OW men across the tipper Rappahannock; thence by a rapid march to Thoroughfare Gap ; thence to Manassas, where General Pope had established his main depot of sup. lies. If the column was push ed rapidly, it might arrive before Gen. Tope Manassas would be destroyed the Federal army starved Lee would follow, and thus the southern army would be concentrated on the enemy's line of retreat Murving, faint, disheartened, they would find in their path, strongly posted to ro- ceive them, the veteran bayonets of Jackson and Longstreet hold in the firm, inexorable grasp of Lee. To command the advance corps, Jackson waa selected that great "right arm" whoe loss Lee lamented so bitterlyaftcrChancellorsville. The peculiar trait of Jackson as a soldior was that he always arrived in time. Others failed often he never did. lie moved with the maihemutical ac curacy of machine. If he undertook to arrive, be arrived, if not with his wholo force, with a part of it Those broken down would probably catch up meanwhile, he attacked. For great examples, take Kernstown, Mo I)owell, and Port Republic. Jackson put his column in motion up the river, and from that moment advanced like an avengingfute never pausing, allowing nothing to affect his fixed purpose. Before the most raoid vidette could bear the news to jGenoral Pope, be had dragged hi PIELD artillery across the narrow, rock ribbed, and forgotten ford at Hin oni; pressed on to Orleans; and was heading atraight for Thorough faro. For the time he seemed to have forgotten the existence of roads. The column moved apparently on the the ory that where two men can place their feet, an army can pass. Whon they came to fencos, they threw them aown ; wnon they mot with streams mey waded. Jackson thus advanced n eyo-wuncss says, "across open fields, by strango country rouds, and comtortuble homesteads, on and on as if ho would novcr coase." It was tho "bee line" thut he was taking. whon the Confederates woro march ing over the erotmd in June. ISO:! n soldier asked an old nesrro.whore thev p.. . . " . . . ' - were going.

Then the stream broke through. Some one, carried away at sight of the old faded uni form, the dingy cap, and the familiar face, raised a shout with that the torrent burst forth. A roar, wild, thundering, tumultuous, reverberated across the fields and in the forests and Jackson succu m bod, for that greet ing stirred his soldier-pride sod con quered him. "You see I can't stop them 1" he said, turning to an officer. Wbo could fail to win victory with those men f" Strange confidence, had it not been justified byexperiencel "Those men" were tbe veriest tatterdemalions who ever, with their rags and tatters, af fronted the sun ! Such scarecrows had never before carried muskets, and that implement alone established their claim to the titlo of soldiers. It is true that their method of carrying it removed all doubts. They were faint, half-starved, weary unto death, and in rags; but they laughod, and their bayonets were bright. It was General Lee who said that there was one occasion when he was never ashamed of the appearance of bis soldiers At dawn on the 20th, after a brief rest at Sulem, Jackson moved again reached Thoroughfare Gap, passed unopposed between its frowning pine clad ramparts; and debauching thro' its eastern moutn, swooped down up on the rear of General Pope. The inarch had been a complete success. Stuart's cavalry had pre sented an impenetrable barrier to the enemy s horsemen, thus completely shielding the great movement ; Jack son bad arrived, next came the fight ing, and tho cannons soon began to roar. Tho plains around Manassas, silent, asleep, cursed, it might have been said, throngh those long months since July, IsOl, hsd started, opened affrighted eyes, and again began to groan as the dogs of war coursed backward and forward again over the fields where tho foot sunk into graves. To comprehend what followed, the reader must look at the map. Many who read these lines, will probably need nosuch referenco having fought there. The "situation" may be conveyed in two or three lines. Jackson, with 20,000 men, was full in Gen. Fopo's rear; Lee was moving rapidly to join him ; General Pope, warned at last of the fate which threatened him, was hastening back from the Rappahan nock to extricate himself from the terrible trap in which be was nearly caught But his situation was by no moans discouraging. bile Lo, with the great reserve under Ivongstrect, moved i over the arc of tho circle, by way of Thoroughfare, the redoral command er could move over the chord, by way of the Orange railroad. lie had the straight line to Manassas, that is to say, to Jackson, whose 20,000 men, he ought surely, with his large army, be able to crush before Ixte's arrival. That result was indeed looked upon as certain, and northern correspond- ents those children of enthusiasm wrote to their papers that the groat Stonewall Jackson wa at last secure ly hemmed in, and outgeneraled, flanked, cut off, and as good a cap tured. The personage thus threatened was meanwhile at work, lie knew that General Pope's great column would soon be burled against him, mad with rage and anticipated triumph ; and the Virginian doubtless proceeded on th hypothesis that nothing tempers rage io men, as in animals, like starva tion. The destruction of the great stores at Manassas meant starvation lor Genoral Pope' follower, and Jackson hastened to destroy them. Stuart rushed in with bis cavalry, and an infantry detachment. The mighty mass of stores was kindled; the flames soared aloft, and that black cloud of moke upon tire korizoa most bave announced to Genoral Pope that his precious bread and meaty and forsgw, PRINCIPLES-NOT MEN.

W hat he could not do, Doing out generaled, the authorities at Wash ington did, they sent a brigade nndcr the bravo General Taylor to protect tho depot; but admirably as this brigado attacked, it was driven back, pursued toward Alexandria, and tho fate of Manassas was scaled. Th men of Jackson swarmed in and ran sacked it. Many memoirs of thut strange and grotesque scone have been written. In the midst of burning store houses, burning ears, burning sutlers' shops, surrounded by fire, smoke, uttor con fusion, amid shouts, cheers, erics, laughter, the men were feasting on unheard-of delicacies, and with thirsty throats guzzling rich wines and cor diuls. "Twas a curious sight," says ono, "to see our ragged ami famished men helping themselves to every imagina ble article of luxury or necessity, whether of clothing, food, or what not.

The grounds comprising the An tie- tarn Cemetery, Sharpsburg, Maryland, was the spot occupied by General Lee and hi staff during the battlo of An tietam, and a rock protruding about three feet abovo the surface has been pointed out to all visitors as the one on which Gen. Lee stood and viewed the progress of the battle. It was from this rock that ho issued his or- ders. Those who took part in the battle usually take their position upon this rock to point to their friends the farm house to the left in which Gen. McClellan had his headquarters, tho nurnsiae arid go to the right, and Ileno's Mountain in tho distance, on the apex of which the gnllnnt general of that name- foil mortally wonnded in mo dsuio or ino i.iin. in short, all points of interest are specially visible from "Lee's Rock." At the meeting of the Board of Commissioners representing a few of the Mates, bold at sharpsburg last spring, a vote was taken on the ques tion of leaving Lee's Rock stand, when it was, by a closo vote, decided to have it blown up and removed. At a meeting on Thursday evening last, held in this city, on "motion of the Commissioners from W-est Vir ginia, seconded by New York, the order to destroy tho rock was rescind ed, and it was decided that it should remain. The majority, in thus deci ding, considered Lee's Rock a histori cal mark of tho battle field, that must always prove of interest, especially to tho visitor from a distance, who, for tho first timo, views tho field of this most sanguinary battle.

Comtort and enjoymor.t are more dcendcnt upon easiness in the ueiuu oi expenditure than upon any degree in the scale. Guard against lalse associations ot pleasure with ex penditure. Tho notion is absurd that because pleasure can be purchased with monoy, therefore money cannot be spent without enjoyment.

A LIVELY AMD INTERESTING PROGRAMME FOR THE NEXT EIGHT TEARS. A new Canadian book of the pro phetic sensation order, is thus sketch ed by tbe Detroit Pott : "Coming wonders expected betweon 1867 and 1875," are fearful to contem plate, if the prediction thereof can bo at all relied upon. The data of the prophecy are found, as they always are, in the Book of Daniel and the Rovelations. In the first place Louis Napoleon is, it appears, the "last head of tho Roman Empire" Among oth er proofs is the fact that the term Louis in Latin is Ludivicus, and the numbers corresponding to the letters of that name are L 60 u (v) fi d 500 o v 6 i 1 c 100 u 5 s (iGO ; that the Grock native Napaleonti in an equally ingenious mannergives 000. and that Louis Napoleon Bonaparte in Hebrew also makes 6G0.

Hence the present Emperor of the French is the lust head ot the Roman Empire, who is soon to mako a seven year's cove nant with tho Jew. Then he is to ab sorb ten European kingdoms, being iuo len-norncd beast ot tbe "prophe cy." A great agitation in the Church Militant will arise, the Jewish temple will be restored, and tho sanctuary cleansed for Christ' coming. These are the won ders of the first year. In tho second year, thero will bo an in creased activity of the throe frog-like demon spirits of infidelity, democratic despotism (of which, perhaps, the Connecticut election is tho commence ment,) and Jesuitical propagandism ; Napoleon will make war upn Egypt and conquer it; tho Turkish empire will b dissolved, and "tho four born kingdoms" of GreOco, Egypt, Syria and Thraco bo rc-cstublishod.
