Gash's "On to Richmond" movement con tinues—but not without fierce resistance on the part of Len terrible battle of Tues . day afternoon at Spotisylvania, of which our fall dispatches elsewhere will give the read-' er a vivid account, was fought about twelve or thirteen miles beyond the fled which wit ,nessed the fierce confilen of last Thursday and Friday. So we will probably have to mark the progieso from point to point of the opposing armies—the one retiring after de feat from this line of defence, which they have found Indefensible, to that ly ing next behind,. Which they .may hope to find otherwito—till at length the deadly race and pannilt, roach the fortifi cations of Richmond. Unless some unforeseen' .and almost inconceivable event should inter vose-to change the course of things, such must be the programme of the war during the oorning week or two in Virginia. We can now venture, with greater confidence than aver before, to look steadily forward to the end—or at least the beginning of the end- Let's army fights, and probably will continue to fight, even as well as our own. But every battle thins its ranks, and they can never again be filled, for ovary available man had been drafted Into thorn, before this campaign opened. Therefore, these successive battles, even tf they were not also defeats, them sielves involve the catastrophe—now so clearly inevitable. Though it has been as yet im possible for Graneto make any of his battles With Lee decisive, the very succession of bat tles which he has fought, however indecisive each might be considered if it stood alone, will as certainly attain a decisive result, ILE the process of subtraction will reduce a num ber inSiSuitely by repetition. Still, it is pos sible that Grant's combinations—the co-oper ation of Butler, Crooks and Sigel, in due time and place—may hasten a deoleive result, with out altogether relying on the more gradual results of the depleting process just indicated. Richmond and the Rebellion. The Richmond pipers of Friday IBM eit. press groat fear for for the safety of that city. The Whig seems to think there is not only danger Impending over the rebel capitol, but over the rebel cause. In dismissing the mat ter it says "The people of the Confederacy have made up their minds, unwisely, that the war most end one way or the other this year, forgetting, quite; that there eau ho bat one way. Ilion, should fall and hie army be successful, we greatly fear that the majority of the people wositdbegie fo kola Ms other way. Bat neither the lose of Lee, nor the reverse at his army, nor the two together, will Justify the center, lilatlon of that other way." 'Sotwithstanding the opinion of the Whig about the justifiableness of so doing, it seems highly propeble that tho ' , majority of the people" would not only " look" and " con template" tics ocher way, but actually set off at a good ;round pace to get into it, under the fullest sense of conviction that there was no other cafe or even possible way any whither.

[CONCLUSION.] And now let us inquire whether the for eiture of the estates and property of the traitors—of those who have been in arms against cut—whether they consist of lands or slaves, is required for these purposes. If it be, there Is an end of the question. I have no desire, individually, that any thing shall be done for purposes of veng eance only. "Pa vicar" is not the maxim of a humane conqueror. "Parcae subjectia, debalare type -rhos" is the rule by whion 1 would be governed. I wenld not exolude the idea of mercy. I agree with the great poet of human nature, that "It become. The throned monarch better than hie crown And earthly power then ehowlikeet God's, When merry lemons justice." I am not clear, - however, as to the wisdnn of a proclamatisn of amnesty in advance as a mesente of pacification, without limits as to time, and where submission 'after con quest, and when it is no longer a virtue but a necessity, is to be rewarded with the same impunity as a voluntary return to do ty before that time. But what is the of fence, how much have we Buffered from It, and how Is its recurrence to be prevented? I think I may safely Bay that inman his tory presents no parallel to this rebellion. Since the revolt of the rebel angels there has been no example of an insurrectid to wanton, to wicked, so utterly causeless, and so Indescribably ferocious and demon iac se the present It wax not the eau° of the oppression cf a Government whose weight had borne heavily upon the people. It was none of a violation of the fundamen tal law. The object was not redrew, like that of our Revolution, bat destruction. It was a rebellion against the majority rule for the purpose not of reforming, bpt of overthrowing the Government. and ereots mg upon its ruins another of an oligarchic oast, whose corner-atone was property in 1 1 man. It was the product of a. system which threw all the lendsef the South into the bands of a few men. It involved an act of aggravated treason against a humane, paternal, and unoffending Government. It boa been condnoted with a degree of tan manity that has no example except in bar barian wars. It has .involked to US an en-I normone expenditure of money and of blood. Its suppreision has become impos eible without removing the Mlle of strife; and disabling our, enemy by liberating his slaves, and turning them against him. It cannot be repaired. Thereisno reparetion possible that would be commensurate with the injury. Can you breathe new life into! the bones that ornamentthe necks and fin gers of southern dames, or bleadh unbur. I led, without even the humble privilege of a grave, on southern battlefields? Gan you: reclotbe them with the comely vesture that has been given to the vultures of the south ern skies?, Who shall restore the shatter. ed limb: tyo fill the vacant chair at the family fireside; who give back the hut band and the father, er dry the tears of the I . widow and the o Than ? What trump but that oLthe dread archangel, who gathers the tribes of the earth for the last solemn judgment, shall awaken the gallant dead who elcep in bloody garments in their beds of glory, from their deep repose? Mock cot the grief that is unutterable by the Bug gestion of indemnity or reparation. "Give bock my legionel" was the passionate ex elamation of the Roman Augustus, when a enjft messenger brought to him the tiding. of the slaughter of Varna and 'his brave companions in the forests of Germany. --Give me back my children!" is the wail ing ory that will burst from the balm of the American mother, who weeps like Ra chel for her first born, by the waters of the Merrimac and the Ohio—or mock me not with the ides of ?operation. There is no reparation for it, se there ozn be no pun ishment, except in the divestiture of the rights, and the seizure of the estates of the guilty leaders. There is no security ex cept in the distribution of the latter, and the complete exorcism of the hell-born and hell-deserving spirit that has wrought all Elie world-wide ruin- These things are necessary. Is there anything in the law of nature to prevent them? Gentlemen object that to seise the inheritance would be to visit the sins of the guilty upon the innocent. They plead for the wife whose counsels have driven the husband into rebellion. They weep crocodile tears for the offspring who have been taught to spit upon the flag of their country, who are without title until the de cease of a parent who may happen to die intestate, and upon whom no law of nature, but only the law which he has violated, would in that cue have devolved the sue cession. -The widow bed- the Children of those, hoviever, who have fallen in the ef fort to suppress this unholy rebellion have no share in their sympathies. The chance, of war may strip them of their ioherilanee, but that makes no difference with them. They take no account of the fact that Na ture and Providence bare alike decreed that the sins of the fathers, and even their misfortunes, shall be visited upon their children, and that law which autborlses the sale of the estate Jar the debts 'of the former has everywhere affirmed its justice. The misfortunes of a northern mart and his death in righteous battle at the hands of a southern asettaein may reduce his off spring to beggary. ill this ie right; but to allow the family of a traitor who has dealt a foul blow et the social elate, sod stricken down all the sesurities of property, Ito suffer, is regarded as a great iojoatice rho felon-brood may run its plowshare over the bone, of the loyal martyr, While tote children are perhaps eating the bread of charity in their northern homes, and it is all right, because the former are the salt of the earth; and a just punishment` ould only exasperate theta inlets new-rebellion . Let them rebel. A. jolt poverty will ren der their efforts harmless, and by teaching them the value and respectability °timber, make' theta only wiser and bolter; men . , With my consent they shall never trample open 'the relics of a northern soldier. 1 would carve out inheritances for his chil dren upon the soil that his sword his ran eoutedfatid his blood baptized and f. rill iced. God's justice demands it, aid the heart and conscience et the American peo ple will say, Amen. But gentlemen here insist that we Win not subdue the revolted States, and sok -triumphantly where there is an independ ent Government with ten million' of pee. pie, maintaining Itself for three year}, that has ever been conquered? . What co they mean by this language? Do they Intend that we aluill not mangier them if they can prevent it? Why do they insist on exag gerating the numbers, anti prowess and re sources of the enemy, end ignoiting the facts'of history, to show that subjugation Is impossible? Do they participate in the feeling which they hare done so mach to inspire, that one of this barbarian rabble which claims to belong to the master , race, and rejoices -to hear Itself called a Witte of Cavaliers by degenerate spirits ea this floor; IS equal to at least six Northren free- Men with all the advantages of an mg...mind od credit and a high civilisation?

They have deolared, however, again and nab, thatithey will onlyitreat on the:foot ing of their entire independence. Negoci ation admits the fact of secession, if not the right, and Involves only the alternatives of recognition or reconstruction munch terms as they may choose to dictate. Do gentle. men here propose to avoid ditenenthermen*, and preserve the Union by going into the Confederacy ? Is this the concession that to to be the peace maker? No. Gentlemen here may -.humble themselves to the dust, and confess their unworthiness in the pres ence of this superior race, but they have mistaken their masters, the people, if they suppose that thy have any idea of falling into the barefooted procession of mendi cants which Is endeavoring to find its way South, in order to kiss the black stone at the Mecca of treason ' to which they tura so reverentially in their epeeohes here The people are high spirited if their sere- ants are not. They know that if we have not whipped the rebels it is Only because we have taken counsel from the men who thought we could not. They intend to clear up this aspersion on their • manhood by showing that they can not only eubjugate the rebels in the South, but that they (can do the same, if necessary, with their (can In the North. They hove made up their minds to chastise the self-abasing thought out of those who have enterthined it, and to preserve this Unions,. every ear rifice, and woe to him who ventures to gets, say their dealsioti. But then there is a difference of blood, which readers conquestond would, by the same logic, render a harmonious reunion impassible. Gentlemen on the other side Lomat upon distinguishing, to their own pdvantage, between. the North and South is particular. They tell us that the latter are a nation of Cavaliers, while we are only Puritan', or Quakers, or Pennsyl vania Dutch. Well, if it were true, and they were twice as numerous as they are, there is nothing in the facts of history to warrant the servile reiteration here, of the Richmond vaunt that they cannot be con qnered, and will die in the last ditch, if necessary. The little island of Great Br t• 'll4l holds in bondage the Celt of Ireland and the hundred millions of India, while the alautchou Tartar dominates over three hundred and fifty millions of Chinese. Al exander left the world as a legacy to his generals, and the Ottoman still site upon the Bosphorus, and sways his scepter over the imperial city of the East. But it is not true. Gentlemen on the other aide are ea much out, I think, in their ethnology as in their history. Thera is no distinction of blood, and none of habit or opinion, except •at which must prevail between a higher civilisation and a lower one. If they mean that the men who colonised the South were a superior variety Of the same stook, they speak in ignorance of the fact that the New England Pilgrims were the very highest and purest type of the genuine Englishman, abandoning high social positions and corn fortehle homes. in the quest of liberty in he New 'World, while the coloalets of the tooth were, with a few exceptions, a mot- And miecellaneens herd of mere aiventura au, some flying frog their creditors at home, and alters rejected by the stomach of the Old World, and vomited per fures up on our shores. If they mean that - they are of the class which believes in the divineright of kings, in the ides of an exclusive caste, and that free society Is a failure, then they are perhaps right. But these opinions were not imported by them. They are of indigenous growth. They are the legtimate offspring ;Otte institution which turns the man into a chattel, and makes his the pro perty of lie fellow. They are the results of asocial system that ignores the ides of Republican equality, and cannot possibly exist, as it never yet has existed, in any other than an essentially aristocratic State, which it most necessarily engender, if it does not find it ready-made. In this sense of the word they are indeed a sort of W eird Cavaliers—with this difference, how ever—that the typo of the class was a pat- tern of knightly fault, who honored and worshipped his God, his lady, and his king, white this, the counterfeit presenti ment, is a sort of Jonathan Wild—bait highw,ayinan and half footpad—rejoicing in treason, murder, perjury, and robbery, apd signalizing hie faith and gallantry by lynching. Methodist preachers, selling or burning negroes, or hunting them with bloodhounds, and persecuting helpless and uooffending Yankee school ma'am. Aod yet thereto not a miserable sand•hiller to the.Oarainas who does not claim, upon Northern teilimony, such as we listen to beret a lineal descent from the companions of the Conqueror, and strut and swagger ,with an stir oven more lordly than the sans 'culotte Mesquite king, or the equally am bitioui and pretentious native of the Gold Cdast, Who, in complete destitution of all nether integuments, buttons up his sup, rite. man, and treads the deck of a man-of.. war in the regimentslaat of a British of ficer: There is one leo', I admit, and it is the I only one, that does seem to indicate an ethnological difference, and that is that the newly invented Cavalier, like the, Frenchman, suld the Spaniard; and the other dark-skinned races of southern Europa.,, Garnett readily with the Meek man as tl a Teuton rarely does with either the black man or any of the Ceitio tribes, whose politic', is Daring generally the Individual mu, kn w no Government without a king, as mar religion knows no cherish without a Pape.

Bolting the darker vices aside, I have been sometimes tempted Le think that 4 could almost deter mine a priori from, the .physlognomfcs around ms here, the political complexions of the teen to venom they respectivel Dv. longed. Oa this hypothesis I should e pnttho gentleman from Ohio Just whore I and him. I do not, however insist upon the fact jest mentioned as conclusive upon the point of coneanguinity, and am still willing to confess, if their friends here will consider it no disparagement to the chivalry, that we belong to the samolamily. I would not underrate the stnk,ellher in its courage or oapahllities. They are just as good in that respect as oursetves, and no better. That we do not harmonize Is only attributable to the institution that makee them fierce and proud and barbarous; and haters of every. thing that savors of democracy. Tale that away, end we shall run together agate like two globules of mercdry. Take that away, and there never was a people more homo geneous than ourselves, with the exception of the one disturbing element, the Celtic Irishman, who, with 'high courage ; and I quick and generous Impulses, If he cannot be absorbed—or, If gentlemen on the other side prefer the etymological hybrid, ettlecg I matte—will probahiy.be subdued into ha its of repnblican,obedlonoe, under the in struction et the Yankee schoolmaster. Take that away, esed we shall have no ono cause of discord loft- Bather, however, than do this simple thing—demanded as' well on grounds of consistency as of seenrity--gentleman on the other side, who admire the Cavalier and dislike the Puritan, would prefer to treat with the former at the expense br the lat-1 Hter.

I think I love liberty above el things. I know that' eon teepee:lod admire Courage, and constancy, one high thought, and heroic achievement, wherever I may find them. I would not, quarrel with even an overstrung philanthrophy. I eon al ways excuse the errors that lee on the side of vietna, sud find fanaticism much more readily in that devil -worship of sla very, that would be willing to esarifice not only all New England, but even the Union itself upon its horrid altars, than in those noble 'spirits whose sin is only their coos. , sive love for Mao. I may speak therefore, without prejudice. Leave out New England in the cold I I doubt whether •even this would chill her brave heart, or quiet its tumultuous throb. binge for humanity. Tbough.Do ardent southern enn has quickened her pules, or kindled her blood into lava, no frigid neu trality has ever frosen her into atone, when the interests of liberty appealed to tier for protection. She has been ever faith ful to the memory of the great ides which brought her (mindere across the ocean, as the only colony that landed In this re wly discovered hemisphere upon any other er rand than the search for go'd.

'Werth her,' in the language of her great son, "the poet at least is secure" The muse of !history has flung her story upon the world a canvass, in tints that will not fade and cannot die. But while we are told by geetlen3en on the other side that we cannot conquer the South, wo are somewhat inconsistently ohnrged in almost the tame breath With ti desire to - protract the war for the purpose of perpetuatittg our own power, and at ked imperiously how long it is to continue, and when and how It is to end. Ailey rue to say in the first pleoe that the prolongation of the war is not the means w etch a ration al matt w mid/adopt to secure the ascend ency of the Repoli:ice party. No ad nin. istration in any free conntry has ever been etrong enough to stand up eueoessfully in Ito face of a long and expensive war, where ri elm have proved Income usurate with meant, and enormous armies that wanted to fight, were compelled to stagnate in inglorious repose. None has been strong enough to carry on its shoulders mast' such generale as the unready captale who ie the Idol of the Democracy, or bloc who was just half an hour too rate at Willlame tort. No rebellion was ever put down by hero,' of the Fabian err, or instrumental ities like the spate. N o country is rich enough to hold ouch 010.5101 of men inactive for indefinite periods of time, and under the commend of generals who fortify when they ought to attack, and turn away when ever the env my turn upon them If there is anything I dread and deplore it is the tenacity with which such men aro retain ed after related failures. If there is,any thing which gentlemen on the opposite aide desire, it is to ere this struggle pro. erected under the auspices of Justine lead ers, who have invariably been their ettede Sal favorites, until thepatience of the emu try Is exhausted, and its creditentirely ru• toed. I think I understand them. They want no Grants or Butler.; but they know that another McClellan will area them,with the argamenf that a Republica* Adminis (ration is inadequate to the time.. They do net want this war to terminate Until the next Prceldential election. To the question, however, how long It Is to continue, an apt response might read ily bo found In the stormy exordium of tbo Roman orator, when he drove the infamous Catalina from the hall - of its august Ren ate: "How long, 0 Welke, wilt thou abuse oar patience? How longwill thy unbrid. led audacity parade itself insullingly bore?" That, however would savor too much of the Yankee by separatingl ono question with soother.

General iVadsworth Brigadier General James Samuel Wads worth, killed in the late bloody conflict at Chancellorsville, was born at Genesee, New York, Oat. 30th, 1807. He was °damned at Harvard and Yale colleges, studied law at Albany, and completed his course is the office of Daniel Webster. In 1861 he was appointed a Commissioner to the Peace Con rention at Washington, and at the opening of the war was one of the East to offer his service, to the Government In April ho was commissioned litsjer-General by Gov. Mor gan, but the appointment was subsequently revoked and the Commission withdrawn. In Jane ho was appointed volunteer aid on the personal staff of Gen. McDowell, was present at the battle of Ball Run, and commended for his bravery. He arts made Brigadier Gene:- °robot volunteers August 9th, 1861, and wee assigned top command in the advance tinder McClellan. In March, 1862, he war appoint ed military Governor of the district of Colara biz, and with command of the defenseli at Washington. In 1862 he was the candidate of the Union party for Governor of New York, but was defeated by Horatio Seymour. In December following he was arsigned to a com mand with Burnside and after the latter', disaster at Fredericksburg, we believe was out of active service. During 1863, he was engaged in various commissions, and among others went to Louisiana to Investigate the cond:tion of the freedmen, and, as oar read ers will remember, made an elaborate report to the President. He also took a deep inter est in the freedman', villages In Virginia and South Carolina. 1:pon the reorganisation of the Army of the Potomac by Goa. Grant, he was assigned to a position, and in the advance to Richmohd, gallantly died a soldier's death. Gen. Wadsworth came from ono of the best and moat unearned families in Now York, and inherited from hie father and brother a large fortune, to which he added largely by ! his energy sad industry. He was probably i the wealthiest man in Now York out of the city, and it is s.tid could walk from Genesee. !to Rochester over his own soil. He was a large sloth grower, and made immense im— portations of cattle. But immediately upon the fall of Sumter he abandoned wealth and a beautiful home, and offered his services to his country, and from that time until the canvass in which he was engaged, we believe, he never visited his home, but confined him self ard4ously and devotedly to his duties. He was a good man and a pare patriot, - and dies without a stain upon his fair fame. Gen. Butler . 4 Tells th.

Nun Yoac, blay 11.—The Eferssfel's speeial says that on Tuesday Gibbons' and Barlow's divisions were withdrawn from the south bank of the Po, the latter division closely followed by the enemy, who wore chocked by our ar tillery posted along the ridge commanding the river. Early in the day the whole army began to be straightened into line of battle and renewed the engagement. Skirmishing was kept up during this time between the ad vanced lines Of the two armies, the enemy bestirring himself as though he Intended of fensive operations. Our lino was formed with the Second corps on the right, the Fifth in the centre and Sixth on the left, with Burn side'a corps in the rear of our loft for the pro tection of oar immense trains and to act as a reserve in any emergency. The country here is quite rolling, with studded groves, pine and hard wood, and affording much better !scin tilla for handling troops and using artillery than about the Wilderness. The enemy, dur ing the night, strengthened his fotguidable position with ride pits,' breastworks, hurl oades, ace., rendering it stronger, than any line of defence occupied by ham sines leaving his earthworks on the Rapidan.

Grant was surrounded by his staff; Meade, Hancock and Warren, all stationed on twin eaoea within sight of cash other, while the great columns of our army gathered together for a great straggle. J., as the attack was about to be made, the enemy advanced on our right, threatening to press back that portion of the line, dis continuing for a time our plan of attack. Troop' were hurried to support the right, but Barlow sucmeded is checking the rebels, sending back such reinforcements with word that he bad enough and some to spare. The most determined and persistent effort which hue been made ever sines the com mencement of the war, was made in the fight in this locality to turn our right. Charge as ter charge was made by the epemy on our right with form columns. Our men repulsed each charge valiantly. At length the sth corps drove the enemy, compelling him to fall back into his third line of defenses. The effect of this repulse was apparent. Tho rebel dead at points lay plied in heaps.
