THE NEW MAYOR of Washington city, Richard Wallach, in his short speech on Monday evening of his election, added anoth er to the many proofs that the policy of President Lincoln is rapidly progressing in the favor 01 the people of the District of Columbia and the harder States.

We do nut at all disguise the inveteracy into which those anidlosities have been nursed by a veneration of false teaching, or overlook rho lesson taught by history, that political passions endure long and are not unfrequent ly transmitted from father to son. We neither fail to see, nor underrate, any of tho eircurn• stances colt - inlet:a to keep alive for the par poses of mischief, the recollections of the present great, struggle of arms. But we bee aks, that the vast region which we call Ito Soul h, in etibFt r,otittlly unoccupied, that the people who now inhabit it are •ltogether too few to determine its permanent character, and that no insurmountable obstacles exist there to the operation of those great currents of emigration, whieli, of this age of the world, flow now in this direction, and now in that, and which create before our eyes new peo ples and new civilizations in bo many guar. In fine, this Southern problem, at whatever point it is looked at, presents no insuperable difficulties, and, indeed, none whatever 'com parable with the certain rewards of a SUCC'3,3- ful treatment of it. imagine the productions of such a region as the South is, not limited by the capacity of the rude labor of four mil lions of nr.groes, but expanded to that of the labor of the hundreds of millions of free people whom it could maintain in comfort and oputence, end then compute the addition to be made by such a change to the commerce, the wealth and power of this Union.

Extraordinary Longevity Mrs Susannah Ildmes, of East Finley township, Washington county, has reached the remarkable -fige of one hundred and two years. She' was born near Carlisle, January, MO, and was consequently over sixteen when the Declarathn of Independ ence was signed. The scenes of the Revo_ lotion are vivid in ,her memory, and she talcs of them with great interest. She was a strong advocate of liberty and independence, and rendeni k tissistance to our soldiers, both in campisto), prison, whedever it was possible. She emigrated to this part of the State arms 81.% ty years ago, and consequently cx perienced many of the hardships uffilore by those who song I. a house its the far- west. Notwithstanding her great ego, nhe, erJ nys good health, but is unable in walk about much, havinly been lame for some years She perharii the oldest per,ion in this see tint' of the State, and she bils fair to live many years Rotreat of Jackson It seems that the rebel General Jack,an re treated dowti the Shenandoah valley quite as faq, if not faster than he came up Id: found that, neighborhood rather warm for him when Shields and Fremont becalm) aware of his proceedings It appears that his army, which was coniposed of 25,000 mon, is now reduced to 5 000, and he is obliged to dodge around among the mountain passes to get -off with that small' number. We have General Bank's official report of hie own retreat in whioli he carefully sums up his killed. wounded, and missing at 000. Jackson claimed to have ta ken 4000 prisoners, when Banks only had 45 00 men in his army, and has lost but 200 Fremont is still in pursuit of him, and has la ken many , prisoners. The intention of this movement seems to have been the invasion of Pennsylvania by way of Cu.nborlaad Valley the rebels however reckoned without their host," and signally failed. Jackson is in rather a tight place, and no stone walls to hido behind ; if ho. gets off with one half of hie remaining foice, ho will be a lucky indi vidual. A Sigh of the Times.

The Queen struck one of them fairly and for a few min utes was fast to the wreck. After sepatating the rebel steamer sunk. My steamer, the Queen, was then herself struck by another rebel steamer and disabled, but though damaged can be saved. A pistol shot wound in the leg deprived me of the power to witness the remainder of the fight. The Monarch also passed ahead of our gun boats and wont most gallantly into action.— She first struck the rebel boat that struck my flog ship, and sunk the rebel. She was then shuck by one of the rebel ratno, but not in jured. She then pushed on rind struck the Boauregard and burst open . her side. Sim ultaneously the lleatiregard was stuck on the boiler by a shot from one of our gunboats.

Ar tillery was sent to the front and commenced shelling, without eliciting any reply. Jackson having at last been forced to make a stand with his whole arty, had completely masked his position in the ivciods, and various skirmishers and cavalry were sent forward. The whole column came rapidly up, and a line of bat tle extending nearly two miles was promptly fprined under the direction to ;I. Abort, chief of the staff. Before it was completed Gen. Stahl. with the Garibrildi Gtiards, became engaged with the enemy od the extreme right, and tbreed him to fall back.

Gen. Stahl, on the left, was first engaged.. Gen. Milroy and Gen. Schenck found the en emy soon after, and the battle almost imme (lively became general. Gen Stahl, after Sumner's battery had shelled the, rebel position, advanced the Bth and 45th New York regiments through the woods into an open 'field, on the other side of which the enemy's right wing was concealed in the woods The Bth advanced galantly under a heavy fire, but being so long unsup ported by the 45th. and largely outnumbered, were fitially forced to retire. Col Witshal was severely wounded, and the Whole regi ment badly cut up, losing not less than 800, mere than half of its strength. The enemy's pursuit was'•eheeked by the artillery. Gen Stahl finally withdrew his brigade to a strong position, repulsing a f l ank movement, and holding his wing firmly. Gen. Milroy advanced his centre, the artil lery fire compelling the enemy to give ground. Gent. Schenck, on the right, Lwiee, drove back the rebels, who attempted to turn his position-. - Along the whole line our artillery, under Col.

One rebel regiment lost two-thirds of its number an au empt to capture Widrick's battery, which cut them to pieces with canis•er at fitly paces The rebel batteries were repeatedly silenced and forced to abandon their positions. Col. Cluzat, with his weak brigade. took and held the centre of the enemy's position, and ha. , his encampment there to night. Our forces were outnumbered at all points, but hove oeppied the rebel lines arid forced them to reatat. The loss is heavy on both sides, the enemy suffering especially from our artillery.
