Btorm before It burst upon them : and it
Btorm boforo it burst upon thorn"; and it
certainly requires no miraculous vision
now to eco amid tho fierco rago of tho
tempest that is upon us, tho domon ehapos
that aro directing it. It was foreshadowed
in' the speeches of Abraham Lincoln
ana his premier, Mr. Vm. H. Seward,
beforo tho last Presidential oleotion, when
they dcolarcd "that this country could not
remain much longor half slavo aud half
frco.'' Tho very timo when tho irrepress
ible conflict should sccuro it all for free
dom was definitely fixed by tho last men
tioned individual in tho following sigiufi.
oant sontonoo from one of his oampaign
speeches :
liTie next Administration will deter
mine the question as to whether freedom or
slavery is to prevail, and that in a toaxi
to settle the question forever."
Tho Republican press and orators now
do'not hesitate to proclaim that tho over
throw of slavery is tho object of tho war.
They do not hositato to declaro every
where that it ia high lime our statesmen
began to understand that this, result of
emancipation is inovitablo, and prepare to
rcect tho emergency. "Toll mo tho com
pany a man keeps, and I will toll you what
mannor of man ho is," is a truthful pro.
verb. Tho Administration from tho first
has taken into its councils such leading
Aboittionists as Mr. Horace Greeley1,

Board during tho sessions of that body.
On all matters of pressing moment, both
before and since the commencement of the
war, thoy have been consultod and havo
Iirojected ; movements of the War Dapart
inent havo been submitted to them for
tboir approval or disapproval. Tho official
favors of the Administration havo been
levished, too, upon the extremists of this
olaas with no sparing hand. To mention
out ono instanco ; That arch Abolitionist,
Mr. Giddinqs, to-day holds the place
of Consul-General in Canada, tho vory
outlet of "tho former underground railway
bo labored so hard to construct, and of
which ho was the superintendent for many
ysars.
Somo writsr has very eloquently said :
'Tho Roman republic was overthrown not
by'CassAR and PoMPEif, but by the con
dition of things that made Caesar and
Pompey posiiblo.' And so somo futiiro
bistorian may havo to 6ay as ho mourns
over tho ruins of this republic that it was
destroyed by tho condition of affairs that
permitted suoh insano fanatics.as wo have
named to become a power in the Stato.
The abolition power now in tho asoendanoy
at Washington, and that has precipitated
the country into all the fearful evils of
oivil war cannot bo despised as it was a
few years ago. Tho cloud, so small when
it ro3e, now hangs like a pall over tho
very domo of the Capitol itself. Out of
that cloud proceed from timo to time forked
ligktrings, that aro striking down one by
ono all the monuments of our former great
ness, and threatening toinvolvo tho whole
republio in ono torriblo and destructive
conflagration. Tho littlo band, whose
nanio was a byo-word and reproach, has
now grown to bo tho party in power,
musteriDg its hundreds of thousands, and
onlisting all tho remorseless cnorgiss of
INew ilngland fanaticism. It was this
power that liko tho deaf addor stopped its
cars to tho voice of tho, charmer pleading
for pcaco in tho last Congress.
tu iu mu iaai uungrosa, it ia Wis
power to-day, that under tho pretense of
eaving tho Union, is enforcing its fanatical
designs in tho abolition of 6lavory, and
promises to involve both North and South
in a oommon ruin.

December 8d, 1803. j
My Dear -Sir :

od went haok to camp. On tho morning
of tho 20th, howover, wo 'again raado a
move, tho different Corps moving towards
different fords on tho Rapidan. The Cth
til it reached Whito Run. whnm tl,n ..,
' -"j
wero found to bo strongly ..posted. The
opposite bank was steep, and on its sum
mit thoy had erected formidable earth
works, covering guns whioh commanded
every avenue of opproach for a inilo at
least. To add to our chagrin itebmmenc
cd raining, and kept it up nearly the entire
day. Towards noon their Infantry was
discovered moving to our left, and Ar
nold's and RicketU' Batteries wore ira
midiatoly ordered to tako position at a
gallop and open on them. Thoy did so,
drove back their Infantry, and silenced the
only Battory tho enemy opened on them.
Towards evening Rickctts' Battery throw
some poroussion shells into their works,
compelling them to leave off working until
after dark. The men in a short timo threw
up intrenohmcnts equal to those of tho on
cray. Nothing of consequenco was performed
during the day, though the Corps wero
constantly ohanging their places in line.
At midnight the Infantry and artillery of
tho 2nd Corps wore withdrawn.
On Sunday morning their riflod Bat
terie of tho 2nd Corps, Arnold's, Thomp
son's, and Rickets' wero ordered to strip
their carriages of rations, forage, baggages,
and to dismount ono ammunition chest,
theroby making themselves as light as fly
ing artillery and to prepare for a rapid
flank movement in connection with tho In
fantry of tho 2nd Corps. Wo moved
aoross tho country towards tho enemio's
right as rapidly as tho bad roada would
peimit, and about noon roaohed the Orango
plank road, whoro we formed a small num
bor of Groy'a Cavalry. Ricketts' Battery
was put in. tho advance, and the wholo col
umn slowly advanced. Tho nature of the
whole country from tho Rapidan is a per
fect "Wilderness," and as tho country, is
covered with an almost impassablo jun
gle, you can imagine tho difficulties under
which wo labored. The advance of any
thing liko a line of battle was impossible.
After advancing about throe milos be
yond Now Hopo church, and reaching a
point only eight milos distant from Orange
0. H., our skirmishers came in contact
with thoso of the enemy. We pushed them
gradually baok to their supports, although
they contested the ground stubbornly.
Night came on it becamo necessary to halt.
It was bitter cold, but we had to 'stand it
as our blankets wero in tho roar, and no
fires oould be built.
During tho night preparations wero mado
to make a grand assault on tho cnemio'a
right. Gen. Warren was to load it. In
addition to his heroio Corps, Gen. Moado
sent him ono Division from the Oth Corps,

no material alteration wai mado in our
lino of battle. Tho mon continued to throw
up intrcnchincnos, as though falling back

brightly burning. A portion of tho dis-.

All night long was tho weary inarch con
tiuued, nnd not until sunriao of tho 2nd did
wo reach Culpoppor Ford. Our pickets
did not leave until 4 a. m., and succeeded
in gaining tho shoro in safety. This morn
ing tho troops were all safely back in their
camps.
Tho objeot of tho oompaign was to pre
vent reiuforcewouts from going to Long
ttrect, or if thoy had gono to attack Leo's
weakenod army. We not only succeeded i
in the former, but compcllod Davis to send
moro troops to Leo. Tho faot that Meado
refused tooccupy Fredericksburg heights,
although ho could havo douc so, proves to
my mind that all idea of taking Richmond
by that route is abandoned.
Tho only casualty in our Battery was
Serg't. F. II. Snider, who was aovorely
wounded in tho thigli.
