The National Fast.
This day has been set apart by the Presi
dent as a day of humiliation and prayer, in
compliance with a resolution passed at the
last session of Congress. At the first view
it may seem inappropriate to make the oc
casion one of national humiliation. As a
people we have had very much to be grate
to Divine Providence for. Involved in
the most terrible war that history records,
•we have yet managed to preserve all - the
essentials of prosperity in an unprecedent
ed degree. Bountiful harvests, increased
manufactures, high rates of remuneration
for labor, our peaceful relatlsms with fo
reign Powers, the satisfactory condition of
the public finances, the unimpaired earth
deuce of the people in the integrity of the.
Government, as shown by the subscriptions
to Secretary FESSENDEN'S new loan, and
the failure Of SANDERS, JEWETT, & CO. to
entrap the Administration in a dishonor
able peace,; these, severally and collec
tively, are ample causes why we shotild feel
rather in a .grateful mood than otherwise.
The military_ situation, too, in which all
our hopes and interests are centred, and
which gives tone, in greater or less degree,
to all the proclataations of the President:
affords much ground for encouragement.
Take a comprehensive view of affairs, and
all will be found to be going well. The
alight rebuff of SHERMAN at Atlanta did not
auffice to alter the complexion of affairs in
the Southwest ; and the rebel Gen. HOOD,•
in his address to his soldiers, is constrained
to say "If your enemy be allowed to con
tinue the operation of flanking you out of
position .our cause is in peril ;" which is
aufficier_itAo show that the fruits of victory
yet lie within the range of SHERMAN'S bat
teries. So with the check which Gloom'
bas just reeeived. It is decisive of nothing,
except that the rebel fortifications may be
'blown up by mining, while our previous
estimate of Gnarr's character justifies the
conviction that he will continue mining till
the last refuge of LEE'S army is blown to
the four winds of Heaven. .
So, again, - with the stain which has been
put upon the honor of our Commonwealth
by the late rebel raid. That, in all its
attendant circumstances, was felt to be a
terrible and shameful affair, and so the
civilized World will pronounce it. But no
one will pretend that it has helped to pro
long the life of the rebellion by so much
as a single day, or to weaken the power of
the Government in the smallest degree.
In fact, there is not a doubt that it has
enlivened the business of recruiting won
derfully; and although such disasters are
not to be invited for recruiting purposes,
neither should their true character and ex
tent be misrepresented or exaggerate& It
is very easy to estimate exactly what mili
tary progress we have made, and what ad
vantages gained, within any given period ;
and if, after making up our reckoning, a
balance should remain upon the side of
victory, jubilation rather than humiliation
'would seem to be appropriate to a na
tonal observance. In many of the offi
ces and counting-houses of our men
of business, there may be seen sus
pended upon the wall a map of the thea
tre of war, on which the strategic points
are indicated by movable pins, connected
with thread or wire, so that the exact area
of the rebellion is visible at a glance. For
the past year or more this area-has gradual
ly become more and more circumscribed,
until a comparatively insignificant territory
alone remains to mark the imposing din:Len
:dons of the original Confederacy, while to
mark the strategic points less than one
fourth the number of movable indicators
are required, and these are week by week
hedging in the confines of Treason more
closely.
In the light of suck an encouraging view,
of national affairs, we repeat; it may seem
le.trange that Mr. LraCoLsr should find occa
sion- to designate, a day upon which all
loyal citizens sholdd assemble.in their seve
ral places of worship to propitiate Divine
favor by prayer : and religions ceremonies.
But Mr. Lutoow 4 - not devoid of sensi
bility ; anithi) can appreciate as truly the
depth of nliferk.afiil ',suffering underlying
the glitterlipsurface of military conquest
as the most ardent Copperhead in the coun
try. He canvetteive that, whether the
North than triumph or the South, the whole
country must suffer. We are - all ernbarked
in a terrible civil war, hardly,len terrible
that it is succe4ful. Not shine the guilty
but the innocent are compelled to suffer. ;
'Though the''Union should be completely
restored, and a peace ratified to-morrow,
our pride has still been humbled, our re
sources grievonsly taxed, and our advance
in the' mareh 'of civilization and worldly
grea t ness so, checked that a quarter of a
century will scaFely bring about the old
,order of things. These, are humiliations
-'which we cannotloPe to escape, whatever
..terms of peace may be arranged ; and it is,
,:therefore, proper, ,tha.t Iwe , should bow, as,
..one people, before the God of battles and
.of nations, and in singleness - of heart ac
]knowledge our shortcomings, 'ant pray for
.strength in the future that we may atone
as best we may for the errors of the past.
'This is the Spirit in which the Pidsident
intends to-morrow should be observed, and
respeettible people will not care to
;make it a festival or auoceasion of carousal.

N e w York it is hag fo tell ;_litzt the truth
is that the news Papers of that city seem to
be managed on the plan that when nothing

sylvania must be attacked. She was 'tit
tacked at Gettysburg. Indeed, nothing
could be more shameful than her cenduct
at that'time. She actually permitted tin to
enter the State with his large army,:and
did not drive him away. We all know that
it was as much as General 14I.Ennin,and the
vast army under his command , could do,
when the contest took place; but does this
mend the matter? If,Now York had been
managing affairs, , she would have managed
differently. In: fact, the great mistake of
the war is that , New York has not been
placed in charge of it. There is enough
military genius---imseen, but scarcely blush
ing—in the great 'journals to have planned
whole campaigns and carried them on suc
cessfully. Where would the rebellion no*,
'be if these *great journalists had only been

New York
The Shenandoah Vall4.
rheracan be no good reason to doubt
that a considerable force of the enemy is
still in the Shenandoah. The attempts of
some disloyal journals to magnify its nume
rical strength to 75,000 men is, of .course,
ridiculous, and the estimate we made yes
terday, that it will not exceed twenty thou
sand men, seems to be much nearer the
truth. At least, it finds partial, confirma
tion in a special despatch-to the New York
World, according to which deserters report
eighteen thousand rations'to be daily. is
sued. This, in itself, is no inconsiderable
forCe and it is reported to be commanded
by- BRECKUTRIDGE and EA.RLY, who _dis
played much shrewdness in their recent
operations near Washington, and in the
completeness with which they managed for
several days to mystify the North. While
`there seems hardly any likelihood that
these skilful ; marauders will , attempt
a repetition of their late enterprise, unless
reinforced, it is, nevertheless, incumbent
upon the State and National military au
thorities to proceed energetically with
preparations for defence. A great deal has
already been done. • The fords of the
Potomac are guarded, and under ordinary
circumstances it would be rather difficult
for a body of infantry to effects passage of
the river`.
This warrant of security, however, is
rather unreliable just at the present time.•
when the Potomac, along with the lesser
Virginia streams, has fallen so, materially,
as a result of the drought, as to be fordable
almost anywhere up towards its souice.
The main force of the enemy is reported to
be at Martinsburg, his pickets extending to
within six miles of Harper's Ferry; and he
is, therefore, not more than half a day's
march from. the Potomac. Why does Ems
halt here? Will he advance further, or
retreat ? He *ould not have coma so far
Northward without a purpose. Twenty
thousand infantry would not have been
marched up the Shenandoah, to secure the
communications of two hundred "cavalry,
while the latter burned an;unprotected
town. Nor would' twenty thousand in
fantry have been marched up the &ens
doah to cradle wheat, and gather in' the
crops.- EAULY evidently has not yet ful
fdled his mission, whatever it is ;:and is ,
evidently waiting for something, whatever
that is. We cannot see the necessity or
propriety, of disturbing the public mind
with vague newspaper surmises or exagge
rated estimates of -the enemy's strength ;
and therefore discredited yesterday the sen
sation stories of certain New York jour-:
nals, intimating , the likelihood of a new in
vasion of the loyal States.
We still believe these stories to haie been
mainly fanciful. Nevertheless, there is a
great deal of sound sense and seriousness
in the following remarks from 'the New
York Times, of yesterday. The importance
of the subject will justify the ttextract :
" There is "nothing more likely than that
the rebel military;chiefs will come to the
conclusion, from the repulse at Petersburg
on Saturday last, , that they can hold and
defend their works there with a force very
much less thin that Of their whole army; ; .
and that Consequently they <may now em
brace the opportunity to send offa large
part of their main army for aggressive ope
rations elsewhere. They have, for some
time had, 'and during • the delivery of this
attack had, as we very well know, a large
force in the. Shenandoah Valley, near the
Potomac. This force, 'under Mawr and
BRECKINEIDGE, has been greatly exagge
rated ; but the authentic information in
pOssession of the military anthoriiies puts
it as high as twenty-two thousand men.
Beside this, during the time of the assault
and •repulse, they had detached from this
main;body, and sent to the north bank of
the dames, to meet the threatened 'attack:of
Hancocx and BIEORIDAN, a force not much
inferior in magnitude to the abova. 4l

No doubt OUT NZ ADAMS shows a marked
disregsrd of British interests in this matter,
as in many. others. Hek declines to allow
England=to send an emissary to Wilming
ton, to report en the manner in which:".a
blockade 'a
on large and: imperial scale"
has been so habitually evaded by British
1 vessels—by vessels of which members of'
I Parliament, such as Mr. W. S. LINDSAY,
I are part proprietors ; by vessels built by Mr.
1 LAJIRD, also a member of the Rouse of
Common's ; .by vessels which, making so
much waste-paper of Queen' VicroßrA's
Neutrality Proclamation, make's systematic
trade of conveying articles " Contraband of
war" into Southern ports under U. S.
blockade. Mr. AnAns, it seems, does not
exactly see the propriety of the British
Admiralty sending one of its "most
accomplished naval officers" to report upon
blockade-running into Wilmington ; and,
awful to think Of I there is, accordingly,
"but too much reason to fear that this
blockade will be unheeded, and its lessons
nnlearnt by competent English officials."
This is rather cool, it'must be confessed.
-Mr: Amass has acted with his accustomed
good sense, and, no doubt; the British
Government fully appreciate his motives.
It would be well if they would take 'some
step to discourage the systematic blockade,
breaking by 'British-built and British-
_owned vessels. They have only to pro
hibit such vessels from leaving Bermuda,
the Bahama, and other British West India
islands, with cargoes for 'the blockaded
ports, and enforce the prohipition, and the
thing is done. •On the cont'iary, British i

This opens a serious question—why are

th4nioat of its munitions of war are pro.

Over Europe. When the present King of
Denmark ascended the throne, last Novem
ber, his• dominions proper (excluding the
dependencies, Iceland, ,the Faroe rslauds,
Greenland, and three small islands in the
West Indies) contained 2,605,000 inhabi
tants, and consisted of 1,037 geographical
square miles. The southern part of the
Danish Kingdom consisted of ,the. Duchies
of Schleswig, Holstein,,and Lauenburg;
The two latter are membeni of the German
Confederation, white Schleswigwas close
ly connected with Holstein by international
treaties: The late King of Denmarkwished i
naturally enough, to detach Schleswig from
the Confederation, into which it seemed
drifting, and granted• a new constitution,
in March, 1803, by which Schleswig was
incorporated with Denmark. Against this
union the German Confederation protested,.
and
and it was likely that the point would be con- .
ceded, when, just at 4 Abitt Otical, moment,

the present King, and., on the part of the
German Confederation, Prussia and Austria
proceeded, vi . et . amnia, to , take possession.
of the Duchies, and also to occupy Xatland
.and threaten , to bombard Copenhagen.
Denmark, though one 'of the most inde
pendent among European monarchieS, can
not tope with the vast force which , Germany
can bring into• the field: Axicordingly,
Prince Jonn of Glucksburg, the King's
brother, has been sent to Berlin; to, sue for
peace, which will be granted ou, condition
that the Duchies of Holstein, Schleswig,
and Lauenburg be ceded ; that a hundred
millions of ria-dollars ($:55,000000' be
paid by Denmark ,on account of war-ex-,
penses ; that the Danish fleet be handed
ever to the conquerors, who have scarcely
any-marine of their own;'and that Den

BARTLETT A PRIMMER AND I:7NRBRT
WASHLNGTON, August 3.—A letter from .the
headquartera of the army, dated August let, P. 'NZ,
aaya
A flag of truce WS.II allowed this morning, from
five to nine o'clock, to bury the dead and bring off
the wounded.
if Vary few men were found alive, the most who
!were living yesterday having died last night. Not
more than a dozen were brought in, and few of them
are expected to recover. '
The ground In front,of the crater, fora distance
of about two
.hundred yards, was thickly covered
with dead, the greater portion being colored. I
counted one hundred and eighty of the latter and
about forty•fivo whites, all of.whom were burled on
the spot.
The reason of the great disparity between the
white and colored troops was the fact that the fire
from the enemy's guns on both the flanks was con.
centrated on the ground after the 'whites had
charged across it ; and when the colored division
crossed the spot they were actually mown down
'with canister:; and, also, when they retreated they
tell in dozens, the sbarpshootirs being linable to
disturb theirunners.
The work" of burying the dead was not com
pleted till about lo r„ Oreloisk, when the truce ceased,
and firing yiag opened by the rebele'f a ten minutes
after. . •
liens. Bushrod Johnson' lli: P. Hill, Mahone, and
Saunders were on the field: 'Valdes numerous offi
ceri.of inierlor. grade.
Major Gerady, of General Mahone's staff, had
charge of the flag on their side, and Major James E.
poran on ours, and they conducted the affair very
enrich to the' satisfaction of all concerned.
The enemy buried the deed on their side of the
line, and carried the wounded to the rear. • They
claim to have 1,200 prisoners, including the, wound
ed, in their posiessiOn. They state' their loss to
have been about eight hundred, but this is not cre•
dited here, as In charging to recover their works
they lost very heavily.
Gen. Bartlett and eol.litarshall are prisoners in
Petersburg and unhanned.
A rumor prevailed that a fore* of rebel cavalry
were, seen moving towards our left, but nothing has
been developed in that direction.
Some telegraph operators of the 9th Corps were
placed under arreat this morning, and are to be
tried by court-martial, charged. with makieg known
the contents of a despatch to oatstdepartleS.

With s view of burying the dead and removing the
wounded lying between the lines. Several mem
'hereof Burnside's staff accompanied thefiag. After
-nuke little signalling the rebels acknowledged and
mune•forward to meet it. Thoofikers who met it
' wore the uniform, one of a colonel, the other or's
captain. They refused, however, to give their
names. The communication was received and tbr
warded by them to the authority with, whom the
power rests. It was'at first refused, but afterwards
granted, end the dead and wounded cared for.
Some time elapsed after the refusal of the first
.flag before the second was acceded to:" Our officers
sought 'permission to succor the wounded while
Waiting, and it was granted. Accordhugly, the por
fellows, who ha. been -lying on the - ground Dearly
twenty-lour , hou.rs---a:portion of the time in the
blazing tun—were given each a drink of brandy and
water. The crater of the mined fort was plainly in
view, but the rebels refused to allow any approach to
it, and the wounded near it were supplied by the
rebels themselves. The agonies of the wounded were
awful.. Unable to move, not daring to make even
a signal.' lest it would attract an unfriendly bullet;
they had lain twenty-four hours without food or
'water. The two past days have been the warmest,
as yet, of this summer, and they were subjected to
the merciless rays of a scorching sun. The dead
presented a sickening sight. there were both
white men and negroes ; but now ft to difiloult to
distinguish them apart. Their bodies were swollen
and bloated, and their faces blackened by the sun.
About twenty living •and one hundred and fifty
dead are lying between the lines. tip •to the , pre
sent time no answer has been received. The signal
agreed upon for the announcement of an answer by
the enemy was the display in the daytime of a white
flag, or at night the blast of a bugle in front of their
works.
On Sunday morning the President, aecompanled
by Mrs. "Lincoln. tittle Brigadier General
Ramsay, Chief of the Ordnance Department; Chief
Justice Casey, Captain G. V. Fox, Assistant
eore
tory of the Navy. and several other celebrities,ar
rived here from Washington on the naval yacht B' al
timore. Lieutenant General Grant, having been
notified on Saturday of thointended visit of the Chief
Magistrate, left his headquarters at eleven o , olook
that night, on the steamer John A. Warner, and
arrived here in ample time to meet the President.
The meeting between the two last named was most
cordial, and almost during the entire stay of the
party at Fortress Monroe, the President and Gene
ral Grant were in close conversation. The distim
stashed visitors, after taking General Grant oh
board, "sailed for Norfolk, remaining there but a
short time. .At about three o'olook in the afternoon
the Baltimore left again . for Washington 'still hav
ing General Grant on board. The John A. Warner
was ordered to follow the Baltimore some twenty
miles up the bay, when General Grant re•embarked,
and at seven o'clock returned to Fort ress.Monroe,
where he remained perhaps half an hour, and left
again for the front: The Lieutenant General was
accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel Porter, of his
staf. The object of this interview is of course a
mystery, except to those present.
