ERBSIDENT LINCOLN.
Almost everything we see and hear of
the President of the United States, show
him to be a man of singular simplicity
, and. goodness of heart. Such a man has
no business in being at the head of pub
lie affairs in times like the present; the
. condition of our things requires a Louis
Napoleon, or someone likehim, possess
ing immense brains and no sympathy.
The time is out of joint,requiring a mas
ter-spirit to measure and make it whole
gain.
Of the millions who voted against
Abraham Lincoln last November, we
question very much whether there is one
who regrets his election more than he
'does himself. Being of great simplicity,
frank and confiding, and used to and
contented with the simple and quiet
customs of rural life, how distasteful
must be to-him his situation now,
hemmed in, as he is, by the craft and
intrigue by which he is surrounded.
Mr. Lincoln’s speeches, immediately
after his election, demonstrate how iu
nocent he then was, of the condition of
our country ; he had no idea whatever
of the awful crisis before him. He talked
hopefully and predicted a speedy restor
ation of harmony between our now con
tending sections. In his inaugural ad
dress, too, he appealed to the rebels with
all the affection of a father and hoped
by kindness and moderation to win them
back to their allegiance. In his conduct
as President, he reminds us of Henry t lie
Sixth, of England,who, during the heavy
times of bloody conflict between the
houses of York and Lancaster, Bpent
most of his time in mourning over a son
who in battle had been slain by a father,
or over a father who had been slain by
an unknown son. Indeed, in some re
spects, this horrible conflict of ours
resembles that of the resentful roses,
which tor forty years refused to grow and
blossom together. We are not, of course,
engaged in asserting rival claims to a
crown and kingdom, but like the English
war alluded to, we have, in ours, fathers
and brothers contending on either side.
President Lincoln knows and feels this
more sensibly, perhaps, than any one
else. He is a Southerner himself, by
birth, while his inclinations are with
the .North. Here there is a divided
affection between contending sections,
while his wife is prostrated with the ro
. flection of her brothers being engaged in
the rebel cause. This condition of af
fairs might do for one who had been
reared to arms, and who exulted in the
carnage of battle, but to President Lin
coln each engagement must bring wilh
it inexpressible grief. His appearance,
while gazing upon the dead features of
CoL Baker,is described as being strangely
dejected ; his face exhibited the lines of
an inward and effective sorrow, sugges
tive of emotions equally touching as 1
those crested by the prostrate form over ,
which he bent. i
WHAT HAS GEN. McCLELLAN
DONE ?
An enterprise is said to be on foot in
Washington for the removal of General
McClellan, and the veteran Scott is said
to be connected with it. That jealousy
and envy may be at work against what
appears to be our last and only hope in
our present difficulties, is probable
enough, but that General Scott is in any
way implicated in so small aDd dastardly
a business, is, in our opinion, impossible.
The old hero has passed the time for
envy; and even if young McClellan had
performed some military feat calculated
to obscure Gen. Scott’s great fame, no
one in the Union would rejoice more
than the old man himself.
But Gen. McClellan has likely done
-something to incur the displeasure of
those who are laboring to supplant him.
Perhaps he has interfered in some way
with some enterprising contractor, one
of those patriots who are for a long and
vigorous war because it will put money
in his purse. Better be beaten on the
battle field a thousand times, than incur
the displeasure of these army sharks ; a [
General may retrieve losses in the field,
but the wrath of a disappointed camp
follower he can never appease—they are
as inexorable as death. We trust in
faith that McClellan may be spared the
persecutions and intrigues of these mon.
..sters for a few months at least.
The Trap at Ball’s Bluff.
The Philadelphia Norik American is
pointed In its allusion to our lato disaster
at Bull's Bluff:
A calamity so appalling might well be
concealed by the government, but to Phil
adelphia, whose sons havo been led out to
be slaughtered helplessly, there must be
ah acopunt rendered by, somebody. No
body doubts that the mensll aelcd corage
:ouHly, and were nerved WU h fearless
bravery l and coolness. How then does it
happCriihat an enemy, said to have had
no artillery could aohieve such a victory
and cause such a terrible disaster.
Alas! the explanation 1s easily gathered
by any discerning mind in perusing the
account we publish this morning. Our
men were literally led by their officers
into ambueh. They were exposed in an
open jielii.'apbn the top of a high bluff to a
murderous fire from an enemy concealed
- ib a-donse wood, and' with the river at their
.b»%and po means of retreat. By what'
'tKrlbJeernjj of judgment such a field was j
!.NWtfe< battle' by a force tjhich‘‘bad j
penetrated to within a short distance, of
Leesburg, we Cannot imagine.
Interesting from Washington
A GREAT MOVEMENT ON FOOT.
Nothing is permitted to go over the
wires respecting army movements. He
prepared, however, for some very impor
tant news soon. Unless thore is hideous
blundering somewhere we must soon
aohieve an important success. There is
great activity hero.
FROM THE LOWER POTOMAC.
Information has been received from the
Lower Potomac, representing that, though
the rebels appear in no inconsiderable
force on the Vilginia side, they have made
no demonstrations toward crossing. They
■ re in such a condition now that it would
involve the entire destruction of the ene
my.
THE HOSPITAL AT POOLE'VILLK.
A new hospital has besn constructed at
Poolesville, where many of the wounded
at Leesbarg will be removed. Several of
them reached Georgetown to day, and
were conveyed to hospital there.
GENEROSITY OF JOHN C. RIVER
John C. Hives, who has publishod the
Congressional Globe for many years, to
day paid the family of".each soldier from
his district ten dollars for each month,and
inlouds to continue his generosity.
A CABINET MEETING
The cabinet have bold a session to day,
but the sensatlonists are unable to specu
late on its results.
NEWS FROM THE LINES.
General Hancock remained nearly the
whole day at Vienna with a large force,
who rc connoitered the country in different
directions for miles without encountering
any force of the enemy.
Information received to night represents
everything as quiet along the whole line.
Brigadier General Stoneman, chief of
the cavalry forces of the wing of the Po
tomac, will probably be promoted to a
major general, the number of troops row
under his command requiring an oflii-.r
of that grade.
A COMMISSION FOR TFIE WESTERS i-K
PARTMKNT.
By direction of the President a com
mission ha? been appointed, consisting of
Hon. David Davis, of Illinois; Hon. Jo
seph Holt, of Kentucky; Hugh Camp
bell, of St. Louis, to examino and report
upon all unsettled elaims against the Mili.
tary Department of the West which may
have originated prior to the appointment
of the present general, at which time the
order was issued that all money must b*
disbursed by the regularly appointed
agents of the government. The commis
sion are to moot at St. Louis, and enter
upon their duties as soon as practicable.
FAL.SE bepobts
Under the caption of “Truth (he Best
Policy," the Evening Post administer? n
sharp rebuke to our government (<u
sending out false reports of our force.*’
engagements with the rebels. It
the late battle of Leesburg as an exam
ple. The reason given, however, for
holding the truth back in the instance
alluded to, was that Secretary Seward
did not want it to reach England by the
steamer which sailed from New York
the morning after the reception of the
news of our disaster. But this does not
satisfy the Evening Post, and so it uses
its privilege of making complaint.
“It was given out at first as a slighl
skirmish, in which we had suflered n
brief repulse, which we afterwards re
trieved by gaining a very decided advan
tage of position, Qol, Baker, however,
one of our most gallant officers, wa
admitted to be killed, and the rebels
were not said to have retired, yet the
details of the engagement were not pub
lisbed. Our Bpecial correspondent at
\\ ashington telegraphed us that he wo*
not allowed to send the particulars, which
were reserved for the Associated Pres?
agent. When the dispatch of the latter
came we were merely informed that the
encounter had been “serious;” that our
wing was repulsed “ with eonsiderble
loss ;” but that General Stone held the
position, would soon be reinforced by
Banks, and that Leesburg was certainly
ours. This was cheering, in spite of
the sacrifices by which the position was
won.
.This morning we have another stor-
he journals are filled not only with the
reports of the Associated Tress, super
vised by the government, but with a
multitude of special reports. What do
they concur in showing? Why. that
this boasted battle at Edward's Kerry
was only a repitition on a larger scale oi
the battle of Great Bethel. In other
words, there has been another stupen
dous blunder. We have always been
taught that the last trap in which an
experienced military man would allow
himself to h© caught was an impassable
river in his rear and a superior enemy
in front. Any intelligent tyro, who has
read the history of a campaign, would
know better than that; and yet it was
precisely such an error which our officers
on the upper Potomao have committed.
“One thousand missing” is the heart
rending result, made more sensible and
discouraging by the loss of one of the
best and bravest souls in the army. Our
actual loss in men, it is likely, will prove
much less, but our actual lobs in charac
ter will be much greater than is repre
sented by the numerical report.
Having met with a defeat, it was the
duty ot the government to acknowledge
it in all its fullness. Panic rumors it
was bound to suppress; but the truth we
have a right to know, All officers, whe
ther civil or military, are the servants of
the people, and the people require a
complete knowledge of their doings, in
order to judge how they have discharged
their trusts. The people are the mas
ters of their own affairs, and demand the
facts. If these are disastrous it is an
insult to them to assume that they are
not strong enough to look their actual
condition in the face. They have made
up their minds to go through with this
war, cost what it may, and no events,
adverse or propitious, will change their
determination.
Distress in England and France.
I Beports from England by the last sleamer
I say that ‘-our American "War to-day is af-
I feeling them as seriously as it is affecting
us. At least this is patent, that Now
England operatives .are not so gravely
! threatened with short time and short com
mons as old England operatives; Lowell
distress is not and does not threaten to be
nearly so extreme as Manchester distress.
Nay, our American War is bearing to-day
more hardly upon the working population
of Lyons than upon the working popula
tion of Boston.”
Colonel Baker*
We learn incidentally that Col. Baker’s
body was pierced with G balls, either of
which would probabty have been fatal;
thus showing that his person on the field
was a shining mark, indeed.
On leaving his quarters at his friend Ma>
J°r Webb’s, for the field of his death, he

JEALOUSY' AND- DIFFERENCES
AMONG OUR ARMY OFFICERS.
There is evidently something wrong
among our anny commanders*- The
correspondents at Washington report
jealousies and differences growing, up
which are likely to impair the efficien
cy of our army, if they do not lead to
its defeat, and ruin the Union oause-
Where there .is so much talk there
must be some fact, and these reports
aTC assuming the character of positive
statements. We find in the New. York
Times, of yesterday, a reference to
them in the following extract of a let*
ter dated Washington :
“A correspondent of the Timas allu
ded the other day to the public impa
tience with the cautious polioy pursued
by Gen. McClellan, and to tho blame
which begins to be laid to his door.
His enemies are taking advantage of
these complaints, and it begins to be
whispered about Washington that a
conspiracy has been formed against
him, looking to his displacement and
supercedure. It is true that the con
spirators are not the men to bring for
ward a charge of inaction, or aversion
to offensive operations against the ene
my —because it. so happen? that the
‘rascally virtue,’ prudence, is a distin
guishing characteristic of McClellan’s
enemies. Bnt they nevertheless foster
the spirit ol complaint, and throw in
the ingredients of fault-finding with the
personnel of his military household. It
is proper to nutieo some ol these insinu
ations,
“In so responsible a position as that
held by (Jen. McClellan, it is not only
natural, blit desirable, that he should
have near him those in whose judgment
and integrity lie has the utmost confi
dence ; nnd if these qualities happen to
be found in a near relative the bond of
fidelity will be all the stronger. Ho has
in no instance appointed any member of
his family who has not been fully
qualified for the position, or by whom
the public has not been faithfully
served. There is, perhaps, no man in
tho army, of the same age, who, in the
judgment of his oomrades, haß rendered
more faithful and valuable service to the
country than Gen. Marcy, the Chief of
Staff, though they were never acknowl
edged or officially recognized by the
Davis and l’loyd Administrations. And
here I desire to point out a resemblance
a 3 well as a difference. General Scott
has secured the appointment of his son
in-law to the office of Inspector Genaral
and Gen. McClellan hay secured the
same position for his father-in-law. But
here the resemblance ceases. General
Marcy is actually engaged in the or.
ganization of the army of the Poto
mac, working early and late in the
manifold duties of his position, while
Col. Scott is in quiet possessson of New
York, that city having been constituted
a military post for his exclusive eenve.
nit-nee.”
SOUTHERN VIEWS OF THIS WAlt.
Lute files of southern papers con
tain some interesting items. .The
Richmond t Yu. i Whig has this curious
statement :
“All tha indications point to a long
1 war. At one time we.had hoped that
the dash —tho elan—of our volun
teers, unrestrained, but simply guided
by able generals, would have planted
our banners, beforo frost, in the heart
of the enemy’s country, and conquered
an honorable peace. But a different
policy has obtained. We of the South,
who were to attack, have uniformly
awaited the advance of the foe. This
may be the safer policy ; but wo have
never been able to appreciate it. Our
conviction is, that h victorious advance
into the enemy’s country is the only
road to a lasting and honorable peace,
We must fight, and we must conquer,
before we can make a treaty. If we
cannot do this wc must Bubmit to the
fate of the weaker party. The enemy
has dominion of the sea , he can assail
us at almost innumerable points'; he
can plunder our coasts and penetrate
our rivers. He is supreme in the
Chesapeake Bay; he oommands tho
Potomac; he has possession of Mary
land, of Northwestern Virginia, and is
contending for Missouri and Kentucky.
While he threatens our whole coa*t, he
may assail us at any point of our extend
ed frontier. This whole situation must
bo altered before we can have peace
on any terms compatible with honor
and safety
“We have never heard of any plan
suggested for effecting this desirable
alteration, short of carrying the war in
to the enemy’s country. While we
stand on the defensive, and the enemy
is entrenched on this side of the Potom
ac, it is impossible i'or us to destroy
his supremacy at soa, or prevent his
predatory incursions on our coasts. We
are subjected to all the disadvantages
of a defensive war of an indefinite dura
tion, or to a peace dictated by the ene
my. The possibility of our success is
not within the range of accident. To
prevent our subjugation or extermina
tion is all we can hope for.
“We have no skill in strategy, and
know nothing of the means at the com
mand of our generals; but if this is
all that Ls left to us, we had as well be
looking out for terms of submission, and
the sooner the better- An endless
war which affords no opportunity for
either victory or revenge is a bootless
undertaking.
“The southern people who have of
fered themselves and their all for the
prosecution of this war, and who have
reposed implicit confidence in the men
entrusted with its conduct, have looked
for something better. It is not to be
disguised that a sense of uneasiness and
distrust is gradually supplanting that
generous confidence. A suspicion is
gaining ground that all the advantages
of our position have not been profited
by as they might have been; that the
war has net-been prosecuted with the
vigor and;/energy demanded by the
emergency:” :

AN INCIDENT OF THE W AR.
A SISTER’S AITKCTION.
When the array of the Potouiac made
its few days since, S member
of the Tweijty-First New York Regia
ment picked up, in a plaee just vacated
by the Confederates, a copy iof thg
'Richmond Examiner of
week, from whioh we clip the following
touching incident :
Onfe of those affecting incidents oc
curred at the departure of the Yankee
prisoners for New Orleans that,whether
conoeming friends or foes,, must move
the stoniest heart. A young lady, of
Northern birth, who has been sometime
a resident of this State, and, having a
lucrative occupation, prelerred to re
main here after the war broke out, dis
covered, by Borne means, that her broth
er was among the prisoners in the city.
She had made Beveral ineffectual ap
plications and attempts to see him.—
Owing to the necessity of military law
in Buch a oase, her most urgent request
had been refused. For some weeks the
poor girl had been too unwell to leave
her home, but was recovering, and sit
ting at her window just as the prisoners
passed by, oh their way to the depot.
An impression seized her -that her
brother was among them, though a sep
aration of several years and the differ
ence of dress and circumstances render
ed recognition difficult. A misgiving,
however—one of those impulses of the
heart that are not to be stifled—caused
her to start to her feet, and hastily
throwing on her shawl and bonnet, blic
summoned a friend and hurried to the
depot. There the guard was so watch
ful and the line so strict that she was
unable to approach within ten yards ;
but, with straining eyes and anxious
love did the poor girl endeavor to scru
tinize each probable form, until a mu
tual gaze met hers and revealed the ob
ject of her searoh. Ilor brother rec
ognized her. Darting forward, hut re
pulsed by the guard, eaoh precious mo
ment threatening to sever them, per
haps, forever, who can judge of the ag
ony of the poor strioken sister ? Some
of the bystanders, becoming interested
in the scene, used their influence to
permit a message to be conveyed to the
prisoner. “Oh! is there anything I
can do for him; anything he wants?”
she exclaimed. But the wants of the
prisoner were few. With loss of liber
ty, what else could avail him '( “Take
him this,” said she, “it is all I have iu
the world.” And she handed him a
small, a very small packet. So they
passed to the prisoner a few dollar bills,
with some small chauge, not knowing
whether the poor boy would ever find
any need for it, or an opportunity of
spending it.
Soon the cars were ready. Open ears,
with seats arranged upon them, and a
boarding round the edge for security.
He took his seat with the rest, in lull
view of his sobbing sister, and the cars
began to slowly move. With aa irre
sistable impulse she darted forward.—
Sympathy governed stronger than law
the crowd who were watohing the de
parture ; an opening was made- through
tho guard, and she reached his hand.
One grasp, so firm, so tight, was fastened
upon the hand that was drawn along the
track, as the quickening motion of tho
engine was bearing her long absent
brother yet further from her presence,
and not until her arm well nigh Btrained
from her body, and the poor prisoner,
as he leaned himself towards her, was
in danger of being dragged from the
ear, oould that long, loving grasp he
loosened.
