Saturday Evening, July li, 1863
THE SITUATION.
PUBLIC CONJECTURE AND POPULAR SUSPENSE
Saturday morning, and still no account of a
collision between the forces respectively of Gen
erals Meade and Lea. Everybody is waiting
with feverish anxiety for the announcement of a
battle and the result of victory. Soldiers and
civilians have their theories to account for the
delay. One alleges.that Meade is moving cau
tiously and slowly to,prevent the exhaustion of
his troops, so.that when he reaches the locality
where the rebels •are entrenched, he can at once
enter on the work of attack. Others insist.that
Lee has made his position impregnable—that
he has succeeded in covering his purpose to cross
the Potbmac as Soon as its flooded waters will
permit—and that by the time Meade reaches
the vicinity of the rebel lair, the whelps will
have escaped over the river into 'Dixie. All
this le mere theorizing. It has nothing prac
tical in it. Lee dare not cross the et:Ohio sCithottt
a battle; He owes it to the army he leads, the
fell cause hesepresenta, and himself, whOm he
so dearly loves, to retrieve the disaster of Gettys
burg, or go down to ruin on the banks of the
Potomac, pulling with him in disgrace and de
structlon the feeble fabric of the
,slace-holders'
dynasty. Whether that battle is fought today,
to-morrow or a week hence, matters not now.
Lee has all the reinforcements he can receive.
He must defend Richmond on the north bank
of the Potomac, and 'God grant while he is
doing so he and hie army may find a . grave on
its banks and a dirge in its eternally rolling
•
waters.
FROM THE_ BATTLE. JUMP .OF ORITYSBURG
From citizens of Harrisburg who have jrist
returned froin the battle field of Gettysburg, we
learn that 'our dead have been, all decently
buried, each grave marked with suitable boards,
containing.the name ornames of those interred,
with the company and svginierit to Which they
belonged. The wounded have also all beat'
gathered from the field, and are either now
comfortably located in hospitals at a distance
from that bloody scene, or. they ' are temporarily
cared for in the tent hospitals on the fields.: The
rebels left six thousand., wounded men behind
at Gettysburg. - Thekeare aim a frightful
condition, showing the terrible force with which
our troops conducted the battle. The members
of the Claiistian CoMmiision and the S.
Sanitary Conimlsision are on the battle field,
renderhur-efficient service. These or-
ginizations both deservo the gratitude and , the
suipOit of the country.

The rebel ae&iiiiiti cif-the late battle of Get-

An Armistlce.—A Compromise.
While the rebels were supposed to be succes
ful, and Lee's army,entrenched about Richmond,
deemed (evincible, no one rememb:.rs to have
heard a single suggestion from any of the cop
P'
ierhead or treason sympathizing journals of
the North, in reference to an armistice or a
compromise. While rebellion promised to be a
triumph, it was applauded as a right. Then it
was never claimed by its Northern upholders,
that treason should seek compromise or ask for
an armistice. Its course was straight forward,
over the improvement of the North, through
the civilization of the age, scattering devasta
tion wherever it paused in triumph, and en
larging its train of misery as it passed from one
battle field to another. Rebellion, victorious,
was too grand a spectacle to be marred by a
compromise. Bat rebellion, prostrate, and
bleeding at the feet of the Government it has
battled to destroy, according to its sympathizers
in the North, is deserving of a consideration
such as will enable those who gave it power and
effect to escape the penalties they have incurred
at the hands of the authority they , have out
raged. This fact is beginning to be exemplified
in the course of those journals which sympa
thizsd with and need their influences in giving
to rebellion its first power and importance.
Considering that all chances of success are
gone, so far as the establishment of a distinct
and different form of Government froin
that in power as the rightful authority
of the land, is concnned—seeing that all,
hope of success to make slavery a
ruling influence is gone, and feeling
that the might and.majesty of the Federal Gov
ernment 13 about to be awfully enforced, the'
gentlemen traitors seek to save their own, necks.
The preparation for this was began by 'the
New York Herald yesterday: That sheet was
the organ of the men who conceived as it is the
organ of those who concocted and are , noW en
deavoring to carry out the ends of rebellion.
It has made its fortune by , advocating slavery
and defending the, free
. trade notions of the
•
foreign importers of New York. To make go?d
its fealty to, treason, it is now engaged in at
tempts to bring 'about a compromise. This
compromise Is advocated for the sole purpose of
allowing the leaders of the rebellion to escape
`back into the Union, where they may again
strut the bullies of a system which at any
moment would afford the excuee . and the means
to carry on another rebellious war against this
government, on even less pretext thanis the one
in which the slaveholders now persist, Waged.
—The man who talks of an armistice or a
compromise, at this hour, is no friend of his
country. Now,.if ,ever, the nation can be re-
deemed—redeemed from all its false notions,
as they exist in false ideas of right to resist the
national authority, to place local interests above
those of national . unity and peace, or to make
local subserve the destruction of national insti-
tutions. The authority of the Government
must be established in every revolted State in
the Union before there cm be a permanent
peace. Every traitor must feel the hand of an
'outraged Government =laid heavily upon 11M,
before he will learn hereafter to respect and
obey its authority. -He must feel that he was
conquereA, worsted, foreecl ,into allegiance:—
When he does this, he will regard his Govern
ment as a power to be feared as well as esteen
ed—to be conformed to as well its adinired.
But this cannot be acoomplished by:a pompro
mise. Every compromise Which is now 'entered
into, admits just so much of the wrong with
•
which it deals. It says practically that the
rebellion possessed certain:rights, when in every
manner possible it should be positively asserted
that the rebellion was without right or reason,
and has, been and is a wanton, wicked and wil
ful attempt to destroy the .purest Government
ever devised or pat into operation by'Man.
The people everywhere who are loyal, should
be put on their guard, and beseeched to oppose
the attempt now making to bring disgrace on
the national authority by forcing it to compro
mise with treason.
Peace and its Settlemen.ts.
As the end of the rebellion is 'reached, and
the conspirators show signs of exhaustion; the
question.arises, What will be the nature of the
settlement which peace must bring, in order to
render the Union forever secure hereafter? In
that settlement, the people of the loyal States
have nothing to offer bat all, to expect, and de
mand. As the traitora'struck through the Gov
ernment at the people of the free States, as the
revolt was avowedly" for the destruetion of free
and the advaricenrent of slave institutions,
something. must be done, sollethi .14 61. !lad be done
forever hereafter to guard against ksimilar re
volt for a like purpose.- The establishment of
the Union as it was,' so far as the poWene and
privileges histltntlinfs 'ars - concerned,
will not ensure this safety to •the-Government.
A conqueror might as'well parole a vanqiiished•
enemy, giving hinithe Privilege t 3 walk off with'
his weapons in his imad, a nd a full supply of
ammunition in„his possession,. and expect him,
not to renew` the conflict at the first Opportu
•
nity, as the Government to calcplate that the
slave States, adinitted again to the Union with
all their• local prerogatives'and'irestige unim
paired; that these States would not again revolt
when again , strengthened. Ilene° the talk of
' 4 'the Union as it; was, is. all moonshine—
a loop through which
,traitors hope to &cape.
Solar as the mere territory ; is concerned,; we
believe that the authority of the Government'
will again be asserted and maintained ' over
every rod, the same's* it was four. years ago
We' believe that every State of this Union, pow
in revolt, will be brought back-to acknowltdge
the authority of the National Grfvernmeitit, by
4eforce of arms. I( that is what 4'44E4

—if this is what is meant by' the, Union as it

Union will never again be reorganized on this,

- Union that the country now wants, is one mat
ing entirely on freedom. It must not be marr
ed or affected by a single association with sla
very. It must be composed entirely of free
men and controlled absolutely by free princi
ples. Such is the Union which the heroes of
the war anticipate ; and such, too, is the Union
which is bound to be established.
'What a Rebel Prisoner Declared.
We had a conversation, a few days since,
with a rebel prisoner. He was a degree above'
the ordinary caste of "poor white trash" of
which the rebel army is composed, and spoke
with considerable intelligence of the expecta
tions and designs of the rebel leaders. He de
clared that the rebels were wr fully disappoint
ed with two things on their arrival in Pennsyl
vania. First, they had been led to believe
that a class of men existed in Pennsylvania,
who wouldafford them great aid and comfort
as they penetrated the State. They had re•
coived this ald in the shape of the sympathies
of a few cringing copperheads, whose profes
sions were alike repulsive to the men in the rebel
ranks, and dangerous to the rebel goverhment,
as a contact with cowards affects any cause more
or less. The rebel in question was very bitter
on the copperhead. He declared that if he had
the power, he, would stipulate with the federal
'government "that all free uiggera in the hands
of the confederacy should be ransomed by an
exchange dl a copperhead fur every nigger,
whereby the mean sneaks would "get a taste of
work in the field under the lash °Me slave
driver." The second disappointment which
affected the rebels at Gettysburg, was the mm
, ,
ner in which our troops fought. Hereafter all
talk of the inferiority of the northern man in
battle is at an end. ''The rhan;wbo makes such
an assertion in the south, In thS presence of
those who escaped-the fight at Gettysburg, will
be denounced as a liar," quOth the rebel with
much emphasis. Thus it will be seen that
something more than a sanguinary victory bas
been gained. , The moral effects of the battle
. .
of Gettysburg.are thus soon beginning to be
seen and felt.
A. Terrible thitrage.
CoffrOth, the cop?erhead Congressman frail
the Adams district, was in the State capital to-:
day, seeking some official before whom he could
pour out a protest against the - action of certain
Federal soldiers. It Seems that after,' the'
bloody battle at Gettysburg, where, the fato of
the nation was settled in the blood of its brav
est sons, and . where the national authority was
vindicated by, the laying down of thOusands of
noble lives, free offerings to the Union that that
Union might survive the threats of halters—
it seems:that, after all this, some of our soldiers
used the fence railsof certain farmers in the
vicinity to build fires by which to warm their
weary limbs during the chilling darkness which
followed the day of that fearful battle; and it
also seems that they refreshed themselves by
drinking the buttermilk of some of the
farmers of Adams county, without first deign
ing to settle fore.the beverage. This is,
an outrage which Coffroth seeks to redrees.
What Matters it to him, that the men who are
guilty of this "gross excess" perilled their lives
In beating back the. rebel invader ? That don't
pay for the fence rails and butter milk ! What
matters it if the rebels had succeeded in gaining
a footing in Adams .county, to devastate and
destroy, all•withiu itclimits? . Still that don't

The capitulation was caused by destitution

It is admitted by all that the rebels made a
gallant defence, and the terms were understood
to be concessions of General Grant to their
bravery, as well as a measure of great public
economy.
Vicksburg is much damaged by shells, and
hardly a house has escaped. Our scldiers treat

of it, at or near Williamsport. He made several
attempts to cress the river, but failed twice,
with loss of life. Some fifty of the rebels tried
to swim their horses across above Clear Spring.
Some of these were drowned, and the others
with difficulty reached terra firma again. The
river is almost boiling along.
To-day the enemy's line extends from Hagers
town to St. Paul's Church, on the National

Leitersburg and elsewhere.
The enemy threaten to press the " Copper

are threatening the Marylanders very rough.—
The enemy are now stealing horses in Mary
land, and the Marylanders are running off their
stock.
There has been no heavy fighting to-day that
can hear of.
Gen. Jenkins was wounded in tha head by a

From rebel sources I learn that the bridge
over the Antietam has been destroyed ; also
that the rebels are in position on the other
