THE WAS NEWS.
On Monday night, the 15th, General Burn
aide recrossed tho Rappahannock with his
whole force. Mnch regret has been expressed
on account ot this movement, and many sur
mises have been made as to the eause. The
following detach from Gen. Burnside to the
War Department will set the matter at rest.
"The 'army was nith-dravrn to this side of
the river, because I felt the position in front
could not be carried, and it was a military ne
cessity either to attack or retire. A repulse
would have been disastrous to ns. The army
was withdrawn at night without the knowledge
of the enemy, and without, loss either of prop
erty or men."
The withdrawal of Gen. Burnsidcs army, is
spoken of as "one of the most brillant'acbieve
nitints of the war." "lie endeavored to force
the rebels from their fastneses, but their po
sition was too strong. With a forified ridge
in front, and a deep impetuous, and rising
river in his rear his communications depend
ing upon a pontoon btidgo which served a
temporary purpose be could only remain in
Fredericksburg at a great risk, with the dan
ger of being beleaguered or driven into the
rivtr." - Knowing this, Gen. Burnside acted
with the promptness and euergy and ability
which characterizes the true soldier and com
petant commander. Ilia plan was a bold one,
but was accomplished successfully, without
the loss of a man or of property, and be is
now again ready to move egainst the enemy,
and upon the rebel capital.
Our losses in the engagement of Saturday,
ere greatly exaggerated. According to the
official reports, our Ios in killed Jvas 1,152,
and wounded about 9,000 making cur loss in
killed and wounded 10,152. Many of the lat
ter are but slightly injured, and will be in the
ranks again in a few days. We also lost 900
in prisoners, and captured about the same
number, all of whom have been paroled. The
rebel loss is not near so beavy as ours, as they
fought mostly under cover ol their entrench
ments and rifle pits. Our men fought bravely,
and nobly did they sustain the 'cause of the
Union against a concealed and desperate foe.
The otTclal report of the battle at Prairie
Grove, Arkansas, puts dowu the loss iu killed
and wounded in Gen. Htrrron's command at
843 ; Gen. Blunt's 150 ; total, 'J93. The rebels
admit a lossot 2,700, and nearly 600 by de
sertion. Gen. IKrron had only 3,500 tutu in
battle. The rebel force consisted 22 regiments
of infantry,' 10 regiments of cavalry, and 22
pieces of artillery.
Gen. Dodge, with 2,500 cavalry, and five
pieces of artillery, has had au engagement
with a rebel force near Ctriiith, but thu resalt
is not given. JeS Davis bas been reviewing
bis troops in the west, with the viow of a more
vigorous campaign. The rebel force at Mur
feresboro Tennessee, is said to be 25,000, and
it ia supposed that Jf ff contemplates an attack
on Nashville.
" The news from North Carolina is quite
cheering." Gen Foster advanced upon and
took Kington, and captured 500 prisoners and
II pieces of ' cannon. Kinston is an impor
tant point on the Xeuse river, half way be
tween Newborn and Goldsboro the latter
place being a railroad nucleus on the roads
running South from Richmond. f
A.Union force of two regiments ol infantry
and a company of cavalry, surprised a rebel
force of two thousand atTuscumbia, Alabama,
on the 14th, completely routing them.
Seventy prisoners were taken, and their camp
aquipage destroyed loss in killed and woun
ded not known. Our loss was four killed and
fourteen wounded. .
The surrender of a biigade at Hartsville,
Tenn., is pronounced a ''disgraceful affair." It
appears the brigade was posted in a strong
position, with a section of artillery command
ing the whole field, and a river in front ; yet
no resistance made exept by the 2d Indiana
cavalry, who were surprised and fought on
foot as infantry.
Gen. Hovey who bad gone to Helena, Ar
kansas, bas returned having succeded in dis
pcrsing the rebels, with a loss of one hundred
and sixty kilied, wounded and captured. Ho
vey'a loss was thirty-four killed, wounded and
missing.
- The gunboat Cairo was so much damaged by
the explosion of a torpedo, on the Yazoo riv
er, that she sunk in a short time. This is the
first instance in which the rebels have done
any harm by their "infernal" machines.
1 Bdchaiax AoAi.t . Ex President Buchan
an is oai in still another letter In the National
Iatelligencet, re-closing his controversy with
Gen. Scott. He attempts to show that extra
supplies of arms were not distributed to the
Southern States by Floyd, and cites as evi
det.ee a report of Lieut. Gov. Stanton, of
Ohio, wbon a member of the House Commit
tee on Military Affairs. .
"Cabinet Changes. The Washington Star
of Friday last announces the resignation of
the lion. Wm. H. Seward, the Secretary of
State, and Mr. Frederics W. Seward, the As
sistant Secretary of State. Later advices, bow-
ever state, that there will be no changes in
too Cabinet, that all the resignations stmt in
were withdrawn tbe difficulties having been
iiielactorily adjusted.
. THE STEBH M0BAL.
Tbe concave ia peopled with ascending
spirits;" to the bloody record upon wbicb
appear Manassas, Shiiob, - Fair Oaks, '.Pea
Ridge, Donelson and -Antietaro, Fredericks
burg bas been added, with all Its heroism,
suffering, daring and death. The holoctust
rises beore the majesty of heaven ; the ghast
ly wounds with their millions of mouths, the
groans which have burdened the air and
pierced every heart in the loyal North, as
cend and appeal to that Being' who has declar
ed "I am the same yesterday, to day and for
ever." History's bloodiest and most barba
ric page, whether it reflected Nero as he burn
ed and slaughtered, whether Attila desola
ting cities and States, whether Diocletion
crucifying victims, Cortez torturing and
butchering, or Hyder Ali moving like an
avenging demon upon Carnatic plains, has
never been inscribed with mote gory and agon
izing tragedies than thosa under which tor
two brief years America bas travailed. The
thin mask of civilization, the veil of courtesy
worn by slave-owning aristocrats, have been
torn off and rent assunder, and f ce to face
the giant Republic, glorious in strength, beauty
ty and all heroic capabilities, stands with her
enemy. Her foe is that same enemy of man
kind who led Pbaroab to grind beneath his
heel tbe Israelites ; who inspired Emperors to
torture the early Christians ; who entered into
the hearts of all tbe tyrants and butchers of
the Dark Ages; who founded inquisitions,
and who cursed America with dusky bonds
men torn .from mysterious African shores, in
tbe seventeenth century. He is the Spirit of
Oppression and goes band in band over fields
of blood and suffering, with his twin brother
Avarice. Only in dim and vagne vision does
the youthful Republic recognize her hoary
enemy. She heard that enemy sharpening
bis sword for a generation, yet the -startled
Natiou looked with consternation when Sla
very brandished tbe weapon the Government
itself bad furnished, and, like the eagle,
shrank from the shaft plucked from her own
pinion. The Philistines were upon the nation
when Sumter's guns roused the giant, but is
be thoroughly disentangled from Delilah's
wiles even yet 1 Are there not those who de
lude themselves into tbe belief that Liberty
and Oppression can yet kiss and be friends
while standing on the debris of battle-fields T
Are there not epaulettcd individuals who are
more loyal to Slavery than to the Government
which protects and pays them 1 Yea, veriiy,
and even beneath tbe shadow of the Hall of
Liberty traitors loud of tongue or oily and
smooth with the pen, defy the law, without
wbicb America is a chaos, and bereft of which,
the world loses its last best hope of tbe ad
vancement of hununity.
No loyal man can escape the stern lesson
forced upon him by every new detail of car
nage. Rebel slavery will drown out this
Government ia its own hearts' blood, it rebel
slavery be not trampled into oblivion by loyal
strength. No compromise ground can be
found between the zenith and the nadir. Tbe
Vassals of slavery will strike down every son
of a free mother, every freeman whose home
is on loyal acres, if we do not crush and kill
oppression, and every creature in tbe North
should feel that conviction, like a fire in his
bones, so that we can
"Appeal to the bright years enthroned before ui
la the dim west,"
with the hope vrbicb, since 1776, has anim
ted the nation, that America has the proudest
mission of liberty ever accoided to sny peo
ple, and that the germ planted in the Revolu
tion shall fill the earth, even though through
generations its roots. should be nourished by
blood. Philadelphia Bulletin.
The Jadiciary Eebuking the Democracy.
We stated some time, since, says the Harris--burg
Telegraph the fact that by means of a
conspiracy in the Councils of Philadelphia,
the Democratic members of that body effected
the expulsion of a Republican, Mr. DuPdeld,
for no other reason uuder Heaven, . than that
of securing the election of certain Heads of
Department in the local city government. Oa
joint ballot, the Republicans have a majority
ol one vote. : In order to overcome this vote,
this ejectment of Mr. Durbold was agreed up
on and carried into effect but on an appeal
to tbe Court of Common Pleas, the action of
the conspirators was exposed and reversed,
and Mr. Duffield reinstated as a member of
Councils.
This whole business is in keeping with the
plans of the Democracy to get power, Power
is now their dream and their object. They
want it in the local government of cities, in
State Administrations, in Legislatures acd in
the nation. Honor, truth, justice and right
ar all to be sacrificed to this purpose. But
we trust that as they were thwarted in their
base designs in the Philadelphia Councils,
they will also be defeated in all their other
plans. Tbe rebuke of a high court of Justice,
is tbe illustration of tbe corruption of Democ
racy. "
A Deserter Shot. A Soldier was shot at
Port Royal on the 1st inst, for having deserted
from the Ninth Maine Volunteers. The rebels
returned the deserter to the federal lines, on
the plea that a man who deserts could not be
trusted. Of course, the poor wretch was tried,
convicted and shot for bis offence. There
was a trick in this returning of a deserter
becoming of. the rebels. They requested the
federal officer te make the same disposition cf
those who desert the rebel ranks, but in this of
course they will be disappointed. There
always reason and justification for the deser
tion of a soldier from tbe rebel armies. Those
desertions aro an evidence of returning loyal
ty and are not of a character to be compared
to tbe desertion from tbe Union army. On
this account, tbe rebels will fail of their
trick in returning the deserter whose execn
tion we record in this paragraph.

her naval stores, California comes to the res
cue, and tells us that she is getting turpentine
and rosin for us, and wiil soon be furnishing a

The Nr.n'-Vonic Thibcte, firat issued in la-Il.
now in its twenty-second year, has obtained both
a. larger and a more widely diffused circulation
