lIESPAIE IN REBELDOM.
The voice of lamentation and mourn

treason on every side. Maddened
by tempor4ry sueeeises --in the field,
the l'oeti of the government heeanie
insolent' nd relentless in their Career

dened:With the hope that they should
rule the continent and doom, Freedom
to an early grave. BUt their season
©f-joy and rejoicing has been changed
,for One of universal serrow. Retri
bution seems to have smitten them in
the field; in their usurped depart
ments of power; in homes—every
where, indeed, that the avenging hand
of justice conld,bow them_in humilia
tion and shame. • . •
.The late rebelpapers-are filled with

ple The , Riehmond Sentihel is sad
because—the South is filled with
"ci•oakers and grumblers" who see no
ltope for the triumph of 'traitors,; and
it, laments the "sufferings of the peo
ple." The Dispatch warns the bogus
goverfuient and the people that the
r'-,distress from high_ prices: is now

commonest necessaries of life areheld

the existence of the traitors' goVern
inent. The Sentinel, in denouncing
the " ereakers and grumblers" chOges
them with being the authors of the
depreciation of the Currency, and de
'dares that "they seem to he - labeling
diligently" for the' ruin of. the :rebel
c4nse. It adds that-they have bill to
.sow the seeds of distrust i'mong the
soldiers, and ", it needs nOlprophet to
tell what will - inevitably and speedily
follow. Under the head of " Sutter-
Ws of the People," it relates instan
pes-of suffering among the widows of
iiildiers, and adds that " the curse of
Heaven. will be upon the laud if these
yildoW's and their children are allowed

Taper calls upon ,Teit. Davis to:;" tax
pe people high" and "-suppre!high
iices by law !"
~,On'the subject of the distress of the
keeple, the .Dispatch - says:

- • In the extreme South and South
`West there is if possible still greater
dfstitution and sorrow among the de
luded people who in an evil hour gave
ib'emselves over to the crime of trea-
I son. When this causeless, wicked war
'vas commenced by them, their 'land
was teeming with wealth and plenty;
but now by, their own wanton .rebel
_l ion against the government that gave
,them peace; protection • and prosperi

olation over their own homes. Such
are the fruits of treason in the South,
and the only places where their wants
arc supplied and the general - desola

the Old Flag asserts its
_supremacy

Resolved, 1. That thetnion party of the
State of Delaware is uncompromisingly in
favor of maintaining the integrity of the na
tional government, and that its power, should
be steadily and vigorously exerted Until it
has compaled submission to its rightful au
thority. • j
2. That this war is and should be,waged
only for the•suppiession of the rebellion and
the vindication of the supremitcY of the Con:
stitution of the 'United States, but that in its
conduction it is the right, it is the duty, of
the government to use every means in its
power to subdue and utterly ,crush out the,

this cisse the slaves of rebels shall be set

evil counsels of bad men who have; induced
their masters to take up arms against - the

4. That the temporary suspensiOn of the

ment in rebeldom at Bragg's failure to crush
Rosecrans at Chickamauga: .
Bragg has 'fought a battle, and Bragg has
reported to the Department that
t he gained a
great victory. But Gen. Bragg does- not
mention what his losses were, although we
know that, according to the accounts of the
sanguinary conflict, the battles near Chatta
nooga may be called-drawn fights—both op
ponents as terribly used up. • To a great ex
tent, Gen. Bragg has lost the confidence of
the people, from the fact that be bas so often
deceived them by false dispatches, crediting
hine,clf 'with victories when-he actually stir
tered a moat disastrous defeat , —for instance

reported badly wounded and in the hands of
the enemy. Thirteen Generals have been put
hors dc. combat in tbe. lait engagement, and
have been either killed, wounded or captured.
The brave Geif. Kemper,, who has recently
been exchanged for , the Federal Gen. Gra- -
ham, remains still in the city. He is very
feeble in health, but expeetS soon to assume
active. duties.
_His promotion is earnestly
solicited by his numerous friends, and its
soon as he is able to take the field, it will be .
as Major General.
Robert. E. Lee, Commander-in-Chief of
the army in Virginia, has been in town for
tWo'days past, consulting with the- authori
ties as to future. movements. It is under
stood that the army is about to go into win
ter quarters, but this information istimparted
merely as "Court gossip." The general im
pression, however; is that Gen. Lee will not
move from his fortified positions on the Rap
idan mid Gordonsville unless sorely pressed
b Meade's army, in which ease he can rea
dily tall back on the intrenchments around
this city. .
The flower of the army is at presient with
Bragg. Gen. Longstreet on being' ordered
to re-enforce the army on the Tennessee, re
ceived permission, to pick his men. He se
lected his favorite Generals, the lamented
Hood and Gen. Jenkins, Who was the terror,
of the foe on the Nansemond last spring, and
a number of others well and favorably known.
Having such veteran troops to fight with,.
men who have so often been baptized,in the
blood of Mars, and distinguished theinselveS
in every battle from Bull Run to Gettysburg,
Bragg was expected to annihilate the Union,
army, and not only to recapture Chattanooga,
but also pursue the flying enemy and at once
take possession of Nashville, and, in fact, of
all Tennessee. Longstreet feels the disgrace
badly, and only his great patriotism - mut de
votion to country cause - bun to serve under
an officer who is greatly inferiOr to him, as
a man and a soldier. It will' astonish no
one to hear very soon that Braiton- Bragg
has been relieved, and General Longstreet
ordered to assume his command. Such a re
suit would give general satisfaction.

Thews from the Army of the Potomac ,

ment has been going on in_ the Rebel Army
which, has caused considerable anxiety.—
Early on Saturday, morning, one of General
Kilpatrick's cavalry brigades attempted a
reconnoissance on the the south side of - Rob=
ertion's Elver,- when they were _met. by, a
large body of Stuart's Cayalry. After fight
ing an hour Kilpatrick ivas obliged :to.fai.l
back 'upon our Infantry reserves. Another
severe contest ensued when the Infantry Was
also obliged to give way, losifig i toonsiders-
Lao number of prisoners. A debidhrnent of
our cavalry then made a gallant dash at the
enemy and' recaptured all but 15 or 20 of our
lost men. The whole of our force, howev.eb
was pushed back toward Culpepper, contest
ing every foot of the grgimd. • Heavy" flriug
was heard in the afternoon, indicating that
the contest had been resume:- It is believed
that
,the Rebels have been chanOng'then
