Thr article from the Monday's World, published elsewhere, gives the situation of •ffaira, aa far as learned up to that date— The last ntghl's papers give fragmentary ac counts of a three days' fight, in which the ION on eur side is very great, i The World of Tuesday give 6 the following summary of newe-as far as received. That General Grant has achieved a splen did rictory over Lee is no longer a matter of doubt. The fighting of Thursday and Fri day coin pel led' Lee to withdraw on the night of the latter day, and pursuit was made on Saturday, General Hancock leading the ad vance and passing through Spottsylvunia Court House in the track of the retreating enemy. Fredericksburg has fallen into or r hands, and is used as a depot for our wound •d. Oar losses among general officers are heavy, including General Wadsworth, of New-York, who fell while gallantly leading hie division. The fighting was of the most desperate character, and almost wholly with mnsketTj. An intercepted despatch from Lee atates that Jen Kins was killed and Long •treat severely wounded in the battle of Fri General Butler has not taken Peters burg, as was reported, but has severed the railroad lines, and is holding Beauregard in check ; preventing him from reinforcing Lee. General Gant is pushing the enemy vigor eaaly, and must, it is thought, succeed in ut terly routing him before he can reach the de feases of Richmond. The losses in the three days' fighting are estimated at arbout twelve thousand; fifteen hundred killed, eight thous and wounded, and the r remainder missing.— Two Generals, Milroy and Shaier, and nearly a whole brigade of our troops, have been cap tured. The losses of the enemy must be heavy, and large numbers of prisoners have bean taken. JESTCoI. Wocdward, son of Judge Wood wardls among the killed in the late bat tls. The 7th Pa. Reserves, are said to have charged through an abatis, and being unable to retreat, were all taken prisoners except sixty. Capt. Briggs of the 1 lib Pa., if mentioned as severely wounded in the thigh. We are of opinion that Capt. S. IP Btiggs of tha 12th is meant ; as we find no Capt. of that name in the 11th. It will be some days, before acurate lists of the killed •®d wounded can be obtained.

While we are ts ret without accurate de tails of the battlea on the Rapidan liter than Thursday night, there are ftill several sal ient facts that are worth calling to mind in connection with the news we publish else where. In the first place, it will be noticed that after crossing the Rapidan, our army was formed in line of battle facing Toward the southwest, while the rebel line of battle faced toward the northeast Fredericksburg wa*, consequently, almost in the immediate rear of our army ; while, in the event of a victory, General Meade's forces could reach Richmond quite ks soon as General Lee's.— The rebels occupied substantially the same position as they did la>t November, when General Meade did not deem it prudent to attack them at Mine run. Theie are these differences, however, that in the battle of Thursday last the rebels seem to have taken the initiative and attacked General Hancock's (Second) corps with great fury, so as to break | our line and infliot upon us. if possible, a fa tal defeat. Their object seems to have been !to press the right of our line as well as the ©enter, so as to drive our army back from Germaula's and Ely's fords. This is very much the same maneuver as that winch was so successful in the battle of Chaneeliorsvilie and which came so near ruining our army ou that occasion. It will be remembered that " Stonewall" Jackson outflanked our right wisg and drove it back on the river to with !in two miles of the ford. Lee has endeavor ed to perform the same feat on this occasion, but unfortunately for him •' Stonewall" Jackson ro longer lives, and he hailed. It has so far been the peculiarty of all the battles in Virginia tbat, while the Union ar my was ostensibly the attacking force, they have generaHy foagh t what is termed a wait ing battle ; that is, after the attack was open etfj the rebels themselves a-SuuJed the initi . ative, and disconcerted the movement* of oar forces by the rapidity, earnestness, and vigor of their own aggressive demonstrations This has had a bad effect upon the morale of the Army of the Potomac, as it has rarely been handled with directness upon the field of battle. South Mountain and Aniietam were exceptions to the usual run of our battles, as on both these occasions the Union forces not only initiated the attack, but kept it up.— Gettysburg was a defensive fight ; Freder icksburg, notwithstanding the crossing of the river by the Irnion forces, was fought defensively on the other side. Even Gener al Hooker, with all his reputed dash, after he had crossed the rtver, settled down and intrenched himself, but suffered an ignomin ous defeat, notwithstanding. Lee'a tactics the same in this last battle; but his right arm, " Stonewall" Jackson, was nfiffsing, and he failed. Indeed it is remarkable that since Jackson's death victory has not once crowned any of the vartoua movements and battles of Leo. Friday's battle, ao far as we can learn, was not decisire The enemy on this occasion seem to 1-ave fought within their line of "in trenchtnent? at Mine run, and repulsed the Union forces whenever an attack was made. On Friday nght, however, if we read the reports aright, LEE retired, but with the or ganization of his ai my intaet. We are safe in saying that noihing but the simple fact of LEE,S rstiring cau give the Union for :es any claim o a victory. They seem to have been unable to achieve any decided superiority on the field. This was doubtless due to the na ture of the country, which is very heavily timbered, and of such a nature that artillery, which is the strong point of our auny, couldt not be used. The fight was an infantry one in which the musket and the bayonet only could be used withefiect. Hence, notwith standing the desperate character of the Mrug g!e,and the fact that at least two hundred thousand men were engaged in thia fearful shock of arms, we only hear of some twelve thousand on the Union side killed, wounded, and missing, the carnage would, of course, be far heavier were it possible to use ariil lery with effect in that tldckly wooded re gion. Like al! the grat battle of the war, this conflict, it seems, extended over the whole of two and part of another dav. In Europe bat lies are nearly always decided by one day's fighting ; but the condition under which ar mies meet each other arc very different there from what they are in this country. An Euglish or French army in the woods or swamps of Virginia could not be handled at all according to the rules which obtain in European warfare. They would be as de fenseless against and American army as were BRADDOCK'S regulars against the Indians.— The topography of Virgiuia has repeatedly saved both armies from annihilation. Judg ing by the experience we have had, if LEE was able to retire during Friday night, he in all probability saved his artillery and stores, and maintained the organization of his army. The pursuit, with an army which had been fighting for three days, cannot be very vigor ous, and, from the accounts we have received, it seems that every division of Generals MEADE and BCKNSIDE'S armies was brought into play ; in which case the pursuit of Sat urday could not have been very energetic. When General MEADE'B army broke loose from its base of supplies at Culpepper, the men were furnished with only nine days' ra tions, three of which were "on the hoof."— This would be sufficient for some days to come. But the demand for additional grain upou the chief quartermaster would seem to indicate that General G BANT expect to change his base to the heaiLuf the Yoik river. Let not the country bo deceived with regard to these battles. It is easy to claim decisive victories ; but we may be all- assured that the end is not yet. The co operation raovementa-by way of the peninsula and from the sou th bank of the James seem so far to be a success. Troops have been landed at City Point, Petersburg has been captured, and by this time our lOtnltore and gnnbrwte-are thnivterlng sway at Fort Darling, and attempts arc being made to remove the obstructions in the J* mes river. So far every thing looks well. There are also rumors of * co-operative movement from the Shenandoah valley, and undoubtedly an advance is making, both from Knoxville and some point in Western Vir ginia, toward the line of the Virginia and Tennessee road. The coming week wilt be one of intense anxiety. It may uot involve the destruction of any rebel armv, or the capture of any im portant point ; but it will certainly be fruit ful of battles and have a decided bearing on the continuance of the war. Mechanics and Farmers to Pay the Taxes The people of this country have not yet begun to feel the effects of the taxation that is in store for them. TlO value of the real and personal estate in the United States in 1860 was §17,000,000,000. This amount embraced the whole Union, North, South, East, and West. It must be admitted that the amount at this lime is much les. Upon what there is left must fall the enormous debt of §4,(>00,000,000. Therefore, go much of the capital cf the country is sunk—is worse than destroyed, because it is burden, a dead weight upon what there is left for all time to come. The bonds issued by the United States are to draw interest, but they are exempt from taxation. Tbe effect of this is that the far mer and mechanic must pay, while the capi talists who has ready cash to invest, escapee taxation by investing hii money in United States bonds. In this way this immense debt of $4,000 000,000 is withdrawn from the productive capital of the countrr, and becomes a burden upon the remainder The question naturally arises, as to how far it is safe to carry such a system, and have we not nearly reached the limit already ? The farmer and the me chanic pay the t-xes ; while the rich man. who has invested his capital in bonds, is ex empt and not obliged to pay a cent. The rich are to grow richer, and the pour poorer under such a sy.-tem. The discrimination is against the laboring men of the country Labor is taxed, while capital becomes privil eged and escapes. It is therefore for the in terest of every farmer, every mechanic, every laboring tnan of small meaus, that the debt shall not be increased. Already the Government mortgage upon every farm and every house and lot is enor mous, and every day's continuance of this reckless Administration increases it. So long as trie Republic o party continue in power, we have no reason to expect to see an end to this struggle. Albany Argus. BEN. BUTLER, the bully, thinks he is not well used by the Administration. He thinks it a shame that a man of his trarsccndant military genius, who has bulllod more Rubor dinates, insulted more women, and violated more laws than any General in the service, should be reduced to the c ndition of civil Mayor of *TId Point Comfort. This is one of the symptoms showing that Ben. has hsd his day, done most of the dirty work requir ed of him. and that he is now about to be whistled down the wind by Administration which he has served with sycophantic devo tion. It is time this monster approached his fate. The man who voted sixty times foi Jeff. Davis President, and then turned in a single night fmrn being a violent Secessionist to an equally rabid Abolitionist, is marked Irs bad end. Nature, in the nice adjustment of her rewards and pmisement, eventually overslaughs such an : ndividual with a dread ful and inexorable justice.— Statesman. SEVERE ON "PURE IVORY.''— An exchange paper maliciously says : "You carry a beauti ful cane—it cost three dollar—one dollar extra on account of its beautiful, pure ivory handle. In your pocket is a puro ivory-hand led penknife, very pretty and fine. On your table is a set of knive* and forks, wiih pure ivory handles, and a little extra expense they have cost f<-r being pure ivory. The napkin rings are of pure ivory. The rings in which are the reins of your costly double harness, are pure ivory. The handles of beautiful parasois are of pure ivory— lmt it happens that this "pure ivory" is manafactured from the shin-bones of dead army hor 3 es." The new Lincoln campaign pamphlet enti tled Miscegenation, p.iys the following very handsome compliment to our Yankee cous ins : " The white race which settles in New England will be unable to tniintain its vital ity as a blonde people. Ttiey need the in termingling of the rich tropic temperament of the negro to give warmth and fullness to their natures. They feel the yearning and do not know aow to interpret it." From all the accounts we have heard, the Yankee chaplains in the army havo fully in terpreted the nature of this "yearning," IR their happy acquaintance with the dark but lovely daughters of Africa. Wig-Wag Cameron.—A New York ootem porary, in speaking of the appointment of Simon Cameron to the Chairmanship of the Abolition State Central Committee of this State, saya that as the Republicans of Penn sylvania are pledged to Mr. Lincoln, it is, of course, well known what this appointment means. The honorablo Simon is all power* ful with the great shoddy contracting inte rests and if money will carry Pennsylvania and the adjoining States, the more or less pure General Simon is the man that can do it. The Democrats can understand trom this appointment what kind of canvass they are expected te enter. They have their prin ciples, but Cameron has the money, and it is to be seen which will have the best of it when the Presidential contest takes place. JC3T" The colored population of Phila delphia have sent a petition to the Pennsyl vaoia legislature asking the right suffrage. Abolition Hypoerlay, The Republicans tried to expel Mr. Long frotu the house for saying that ha preferred the acknowledgment of the independence of the Soujh to the extermination of her people. This was his whole offence. Yet in the de bate upon the proposition, an Abolition mem ber, Mr. Gnranell of lowa, said : " I would rather sav a thousand times, let the country be divided—the Sonth go their way all slave and the North all free—rather than to see the country once more under Democratic misrule." This is patriotism, but Mr. Long's remark was treason, according to abolition logic] shamful hypocrisy and partisan motive of this whole movement, are well illustrated by this. But another little fact is equally signifi cant in thrs direction. The whole Republi can force in the II 'U-e united in declaring Mr. Long's speech to be treasonable and well designed to afford aid and comfort to the enemy. Yet the leading men among them subscribi for lhout>ands of copies of this "treasonable speech," fur circulation among tbeir Constituents ! If it was treaaon to utter the speech, was it not equally trea sonable to circulate it? Yet this was done by the very men who spoke loudest and were most active in support of the move ment to expel Mr Long.— Philadelphia Age. A " LOYAL" FAVORITE. George Thomp son, the notorious English abolitionist, said in a late speech in Boston, in alluding to his visit to this country, some years ago j " I was a disturber of the public peace ; I was an enemy to the Union ; I was thought worthy to be denounced by your President in an address to Congress ; I am unchanged." This is the man to whom the Federal House of Representatives, recently paid the complimeut of voting the use of its hall for him to lecture in; and whose address on the occasion was listened to with apparent grat ification by the President and his cabinet, the Administrationists in Congress, and nearly all the shoddy aristocracy of Wash ington city. The person who was denounced by Ilenry Clay, Daniel Webster and Stephen A. Doug las as an enemy to the nation, unfit to re ceive anything but the scorn of Americans, is now entertained with distinguished hon ors by ..he Administration leaders in every part of the country. The Abolition organs have generally labor ; ed to induce the people to believe that the • Democrats in our southern border counties gave Lee encouragement during his invasion. The Cham berxburg Repository, edited by Col. A K. McCure, an ex-senator aid prom inent Republican politician, exposes the ma lignant slander. In a recent editorial he says: "With very few exceptions, the people of the border, of ever}' political faith, 6tcod as one man during the invasion, and united their energies to confound the common foe ; and in no single instance has the evidence been at all conclusive that any of our citizens gave them aid, comfort or information, unless under duress or by accident. Every effort has been made to fix guilt on all suspected parties, and it has uniformly failed. The charge, therefore, that our people in any way aided or guided the enemy, is unfounded in fact, and the impression that seems to pre- 1 vail with some members of the legislature on this point is in no degree merited." FIFTY PEU CENT, ADDED TO THE DITTIES ON IMPORTS. —The following joint resolution has passed both branches of Congress : Resolved, by the Senate and II me of; Reoresen'atiyes &c., That until the end of sixty days from the passage of this resolution fifty per centum of the rates of duties and imposts now imposed by law on all goods, wa es, merchandise and articles imported, eh!I be added to the present duties and im posts now charged on the importation of nch articles; provided, that printing paper, un sized, used for book? and newspapers exclu sive!} , shall be exempt from the operation of this resolution. The objict of this resolution is to secure additional revenue to the Government from the large cargoes of impjrts now ou their way here, which were ordered in the hope of having them in store before the new tariff should get into operation. A Reminiscence, Early in 1850, John P. Hale, of N. Ilamp shire, presented two petitions in the United State 6 Senate, praying"That some plan might be devised for the dissolution of the Ameri can Union." Mr. Webster, of Mass., suggested as a pre amble to these resolutions, "That as the members bad sworn before God to support the Constitution' they should now take im mediate steps to break their obligations." Upon a vote being taken, the petitions were reelected by the votes of the entire Sen ate, with the exceptions of John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, Win. 11. Seward, of New York, and' Salmon P. Chase, of Ohio who voted in favor ! ! These are the men who are now intensely "loyal," ard who denounce as sympathizers with the rebellicu, those who then opposed their treasonable plots,and who now oppose their prescriptive policy. Josh Billings says, " The but kind ova dog tew have for awl purpoxes is a wooden one. That don't kost much, and ain't liable to get out or repair.

The Aboditio.n State Cunventiok.— The Abolitionists of this Stale held a Con vention, at liarrisburg, last Thursday, fur the purpose of selecting Delegates at Large I to the Baltimore Convention and placing in I nomination in Electoral ticket. llon.Hen- Juhnson, Stale Senator from Lycotnin?, was 1 temporary chairman of the Convention, and Hon. Geo. V. Lawrence, of Washington county, was the permanent President.— Simon Cameron, Alex K, McCiure, Morrow B. Lowiy and W. \V. Ketchara, were elect ed Delegates at Large and M >rton Mc.Micha cl and F. C. Cunningham Senatorial Elec tors. Dr. Edward llalliday, of Pike county was chosen Elector for this district. The Delegates were instructed to vote for the re nomination of Lincoln. Old wig-wag Cameron teems to have had the Convention entirely in his own hands, as its President was one of his most pliant tools and in addition to his own election as dele gate, he carried his friend Lowry with him, and subsequently had himself appointed Chairman of the State Contra! Committee, notwithstanding a large majority of the dele gates recommend Col. McCiure fir the po sition. The " soldiers' friend," Andy Cur tin, will have to look to his laurels.— Eas~ ten Sentinel. To the Point.— A contemporary, after noticing the coolness of some individuals in asking printers to publish long- and prosy resolutions, obituary notices, advertisements of benevolent enterprises, &c , without offer ing or expecting to pay anything therefore, says : ''Until we find teachers who teach gratia ; butchers who futnish steaks and roasts without charge ; lawyers who counsel - without fees ; farmers who donate their j wood and produce, Ac., we must decline be ing in the list of printers who print without ; compensation. JC2C Fremont meetings are being held everywhere, and clubs are being formed. A very |'arge meeting was 1 eld in Allegheny city and one in Pittsburg last week. The latter was addressed by W. F. Johnson and others. ( Frjm Thompson's JJank Hole Rrporttr.) The Secretary 's Policy. —lt is important ts kDow, so far as possible, the futuro policy of the fi nancial minister of tho Government; anl especially at this time, when, to make gambling speculations profitable an uncommon flood of false assertions and thenreis damaging to the public credit, are teidly eireulated. The excitement got up in Wall street by gamblers n Stocks and Gold, aro telegraphed everywhere— exagerated—and the outside public naturally feel that there is some great wrong somewhere, when, in fact, there is nothing wrong. There i* only a hulla halloo among the bulls and bears. Mr. Chase will press right on with the National Ten-Forty Loan, just as he has begun. There will bo no change in the rate of interest. He will make no temporary loans of the Banks, 1 will take mon ey from the people or the Banks at fire per cent, in terest, payable on ten days' notice, as heretofore • and he will run the usual line of one-year Certifi cates. He will self the surplus gold from customs after setting aside an amount sufficient for six months' interest and use the proceeds, as the spirit and let ter of tho law demands, partly in a sinking fund, and partly for the curront expenses of the Govern ment. He appeals afresh to the people in this the most trying military and financial period of the Rebellion, to come forward with heart nnd money. H) is re ducing the volume of currency gradually, and will continue id do so. If the stock and gold gamblers shall again attempt the game they played last week he will bring the whole power of the Government, and its whole means, both here and abroad, to check mate them. The Secretary of the Treasuiy relies upon tae , People for the ways and means; upon the Army j tor victories, and upon Congress for adequate tax- • atlon. The people will come to his ha!p with every dol- i lar that can be appropriated. This isjtheir trua in terest iit is their true safety. The armies now will do their port—there is no alternative but victory.— Congress will do its duty—it dare not falter. To those capitalists who complain that Mr- Chasa ought to pay a higher rate of interei-t, we say, point edly, that a 5 per cent obligation against the Ameri can people is better than a bond at any higher rate of interest.
