TILE BATTLE FIELD
Leaving the Junction, we all rode up to the
Bull Run battle field. The different positions
occupied by the different Nimes woro explain
ed by General McDowell. They are The game
now as when sect stood there on that memora
ble Sabbath.. All was quiet through that now
peaceful The roar of the murderous ar
tillery, the flash of the musketry, and the
groans of the wounded and dying seemed to
bo still ringing in our ears ; but the chirping
of the tree frogs, or a solitary bird perched
upon a sheltered bush, was all that really
broke the stillness.
As we halted for a moment we noticed on
the hill tops a number of empty 'huts, along
the ravines were the strong natural defences
so lately garrisoned by the Rebel hordes; but
they have all gone now. Near the field where
Colonel Cameron fell nro long and broad
trenches, only distinguished as graves by the
new made earth, on which the grass this last
summer has refused to grow. The hill side
where Schenck iled his division under the mur
derous tire, the ravine where the Rebel cav
alry outflanked us, the little old negro hut
and other buildings they used as hospitals,
are still there; the blood stained floors cov
ered with dirt, The stone bridge has been
blown up, and is now a heap of ruins. We
rode across the field where our Parrot guns
were lost, picked up a cannon ball nnd push
ed on to Centreville, reaching hero at dark.
The Rebel army of the Potomac, from all
appearances. has been nt times strong in nom•
hers and well entrenched. They may have
had one hundred and fifty thousand men. but
we much doubt if they have had over one
hundred and ten or one hundred and twenty
thousand. Whether they could have been
cut MI last fall or this winter, or could have
been driven from 1111 - masses in confusion at
any time, is not for us to decide. Such as
they were have gone hence. Contrabands
coming in tell us that they said they will

iron-plated battery. The joint resolution
from the House proposing pecuniary aid to
the States undertaking the emancipation. of

The dill for the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia was then taken up.
In the House of Representatives on Mon
day the certificate of election of Mr. Segar
from the First District of Virginia was pre

to Gen. Burnside and thd officers rind men
under his command was passed. Mr. Moor

inquiring why Cal. Cocoratt has not been re
leased by the Rebels, and declaring that there
ought to be no further releases of Rebel pris

was then taken up.

If the "father of lies" has any local

his don, who is in Nashville attached to Gen.
Buell's command.
Our citizens, and the gentle.nen at the

The Cry of Taxation.
The traitor'and'sympathising ' 4 Democracy"
aro bawling loudly over th'e! taxation manse:.
quent upon the
-rebellion which' they have so
largely assisted to inaugurate. They have,
for years;., affiliated with- those'who-are now
the leaders of the rebellion, and supported
them in all their treasonable plots until the
war was commenced, and the indignant loyal
people arose en masse against the traitors.—
The war has been prosecuted at immense cost,
and taxation is the consequence. Now, like
the thief who joins the crowd and shouts
"Stop thief" to turn attention from himself,
the rebel sympathisers raise a hue-and-cry
about the enormous taxation the Republican
Administration is heaping upon the people.
The Chester County Times says that no man
who is truly loyal will object to all necessary
taxation. It is a fair test of loyalty when
men are called upon to pay unusual taxes for
the defense of their country. Hundreds of
thousands of men talte their lives in their
hands nod go forth to light in the country's
defence. Those who remain at home have no 1 1
such pill, and the loyal ones will not refuse
to pay for the defence of their homes, by all
necessary taxation. The disloyal and the
sympathisers with traitors will seek, for po
litical effect, to make the tax payers dissatis
fied and to entrap them into the support of
the semi-rebel party in the hope of reducing
the expenses of the war.
It should be borne in mind by every tax
payer, that they are saddled with this lax in
consequence of the unholy alliance hat ween
southern slaveholders and northern "Demo
crats." By this alliance, secessionists have
been kept in the councils of the Government
for years, and have there, plotted their trea
son. They have enjoyed this high privilege
by the assistance of the "Democratic" party
alone. There wits no other power which
would, or could sustain them nod give them
We hold this sham Dontocracy respon
sible for this rebellion. Their ambition for
power led theta into the vile alliance with
slave drivers which elevated open, aviiived
(Ih-unionists to office and power. This alli
once plotted treason, and gave the traitors
opportunity to lay their plans, concoct their
treason, steal money, steal arms, and finally ,
be ready to steal forts and Navy Yards.--
Without the help of the pro-slavery democra
cy this treason could never tare been limn
gusted. Without this seine "DVITIOCrfIey"
we should have had .no war and no taxation.

GLIMPSES OF lIISTORY
Among the prizes taken at Fernandina, was
the following letter from cx Senator Yulee, to
one Finegan, a member of the Florida " Sov
ereignty" Convention. It shows that secession
was a foregone conclusion, with the cotton
Slates, and that the only effect of the enmpro
mice piopositions of the winter of 1861 was
to get op issues on which the boyleatt'itates
might also be dragged into 80Ceasiun:
WAsnixiiryN, Jan. 7, 1861.
MY DEAR SIR: On the other is a copy
of resolutions adopted at a consultation of
the Senators from the seceding States—in
which Georgia, Alabama, Louisana, Arkansas,
Texts, Mississippi and Florida were present.
The idea of the meeting was that the Stiles
should go out la once, and provide for the
early organization of a Confederate Govern
not later than the 15th of Februau•_v
'Phis time is allowed to enable Louisana and
Texas to participate It seemed to be the
opinion that if we left here force, loan and
volunteer bills might be passed, which would
put Nlr. Lincoln in immmediate condition for
hostilities—whereas by remainingin our places
until the 4th of March, it is thought we can
keep the hands of Mr. Buchanan 'tied, and
disable the Republicans from effecting any
legislation which will strengthen the hands of
the incoming Administration.
The resoluthms will he sent by the delega
tion to the President of the Convention. I
have not been tilde to find Mr. Mallory this
morning. lia%vkins, tqe member from Flori
da, is in Connecticut. 1 have therefore
thought it best to send you this copy of the
resolutions.
In haste, }ours truly, D. L. Yl:t.r.n.
Joseph Finegan, Ehq , isse, Florida.
The following were the iesulgtions referred
ile,olued, That in our opinion each of the
Southern States should, as soon as may be,
secede from the Union.
R.,:so/ved, That provision should be made
for a convintion to organize a Confederacy of
the seceding States, the Convention to meet
not later than the 15th - of February, at the
city of Montgomery, in the State of Alabama.
Resolved, That in view of the hostile legis
lation that is threatened against the seceding
States, and which may be consummated be
fore the 4th of March, we ask instructions
whether the delegations are to remain in Con
gress until that date for the purpose of de
feating such legislation.
Resolved, That n committee be and is here
by appointed, consisting of Messrs. Davis,
Slidell and Mallory, to carry out the objects
of this meeting.
No Council of War held
The statement published last week that a
council of war in Washington decided, eight
to four, that the army of the Pon - in - lee
should not be moved agaimt the enemy at

were unanimous that an advance was pos.

The "statement" referred to was made by
us, upon authority much better than that of
the Times, and is true.

The President• sided with the four and
therefore, by order of March B,' constituted
the Potomac army in four divisions, to be

Gen. Smith was so conspicuous a target for
the enemy's sharpshooters that his escape is
almost miraculou . s. Ile redo up and down

their heads at every discharge of cannon.—
At one time he was waving his sword, a ten

. Sham Patriots —A New Swindle.
The lenderse of the Breckinridge party hero,
413 d elsewhere in. the North, are loud in their
professions„ of regard for the Union cause,:
and claim to be as good Union men, if no!'
-better,-'-than their political opponent's—•just
as they claimed to be better Tariff men than the
Whigs in 1/344, althongh the result-proved that
the moment they got into power" they most
shamefully belied their professions. There
is just as,enucli to doubt their sincerity now,
as in past times. They cannet, and dare not,
say a word against the admininistratton.—
Indeed in all their talk, and ripeeches, and ed
itorials, they profess to uphold it. And yet
what do we see ? There has not been an ad
ministration measure for the more vigorous
prosecution of the war, and the more speedy
crushing out of the rebellion, from the com
mencement of hostilities to the present, that,
their represenatives in Congress have opposed.
The votes of such men as Vallamdigham, An
cona, Biddle, Saulsbury, Powell, and the en
tire Breckinridge delegation in Congress—
are always given ogainst„the Union cause and
in favor of the Rebels. Even the resolution
of the President submmitted to Congress a
couple of weeks ago, looking to gradual and
peaceable emancipation—though heartily en
dorsed by loyal men of all parties—was op
posed, and voted against by every Breckin
ridge Democrat on the floor of Congress,
mainly -because it was an Administration
measure What is more, the Breckinridge
constituents of these Senators and Congress
men who are doing all they can to cripple the
Union forces, and play into the hands of the
rebels, so far from censuring the unpatriotic
course of their represenatives, actually com
mend them for it—and are ready to vote at
any moment to sustain them in their semi
treasonable course. They let no opportunity
slip to give the. Adminktratiou IL quiet dig,
and to excite the popular prejudice against
it. They make a great ado about the taxes
—and predict ruination and prosttat ion to all
branches of business. They intimate plainly
t hat the loyal North ought to abandon all fur

ConstitUtion and laws—lay down theft arms

Fight at Winchester
Whilst we hate been looking for startling
events on the Mississippi and elsewhere,
Winchester., Va., was _yesterday the scene of
quite a spirited fight.; in which , the Rebels
were well whipped and retreated with disas•
trous loss. It seems- that on-Saturday the
Rebels appeared near Winchester and a slight
skirmish occurred. in which they wet e driven
back by Gen. Shields' force, the General him
(.ll being slightly wounded. It was then
thought that the Rebels had returned under
the belief that. the National forces had retired
from Winchester, but yesterdaY they reap
peared in force, having about 16,000 troops,
under command of Generals Jackson, Smith
and Longstreet. The battle raged from half
past. ten in the morning until dark. Trfough
our force was but eight thousand, they achie
ved a glorious victory. The loss on both
sides was heavy, but the Rebels suffered most
severely. Our loss is put down at one hun
dred and fifty killvd and wounded, The Rebels
retreated in confusion, strewing the ground
with arms thrown away, in their flight. We
captured two guns and caissons with a large
number of prisoners. Our cavalry were in
pursuit of the retreating .enemy._ The Fede•
rat forces fought well. This return of the
Rebels to Lie extreme right of our position
was evidently an effort to distract operations
that are going forward in another direction,
but it has completely failed.

SPRING . STYLE.I. T Our milliners arc
bringing out their spring bonnets, and some
of them already make a fine display. The
style is mitre to some extent, the top of the
bonnet towering high above the forehead to
a lofty pdak. The space between' the fore ,
head and the peak is filled in with a solid
ma , s of artificial flowers of spring colors— ,
"pink, lilac, or pale blue mixed with white:
To sJme faces the style is becoming, to'
others so much the reverse that the ne,
failtion is very likely to be extensively
eschewed. Neapolitan and line French chip
appear to be the leading materials.. Crape
bonnets, this spring, will not make their
appearance but silks of various styles are
quite as much foreshadowed as they were
last year. The most fashionable plain colors
are pink, white and apple green. Short
cloaks appear to be coining in vogue again,
so that pimple, having 'spring cloaks . ' left
over Inns last season will be considerably
behind die times when winter cloaks, like
one tuned hand organs, are played nut. The
specimens exhibited are trimmed with ex
ceeding plainness. While sonic few long
Chats 'nay lie wora this spring, the short
oTies—a sort of cross--between a "warms''
and a (larilialdi shirt—are the stile that hid

B. LIPPINCOTT & Cu., a cdpy of n most excel
lent Geography, for the primary department
of schools.. This work is gotten up by Mr.
F , irdyee A Allen, principal of the Chester
County Normal ti 4 cltnal. In contradistinction
to the dry, untelligible style of our orthodox
geographers, this work is presented to the
youthful mind in the guiSe of nn etrgertaining ,
story, which while it is infallible as an in
structor, cannot fail to enlist the sympathy
and interest of the pupil. To our own schools
we would confidently recommend it as embo
dying the only principles upon which an en
lightened system of wholesome instruction
can hope to succeed. The typography is of
that chaste and elegant order peculiar to the
Lippincotrs, and the maps and illustrations
would do credit to a work of far greater pre
tensions. Teachers can procure specimens by
enclosing 27 cts. in stumps to the publishers.
A lIINT TO TIOUSEEIEEPERS.-7-Every
house wife who uses .kerosene or coal or car
bon knows that it affords the best and cheap
est light of all illuminating oils. But she also
knows that the constant expense and annoy
ance from thu breakage of lamp chimneys,
almost, if not quite, counterbalance the ad
vantages of its use. One who hae thoroughly
tried the experiment of preventing chimneys
from cracking with the heat of the flame, says:
Put the glass chimney in lukewarm water,
heat to the boiling point, and boil one hour ;
after which leave it in the water till it cools.
The suggestion is worth a trial.
