THE ARMY OF VIRGINIA.
Address of Gen. Pope to his Soldiers.
lir AsHINGTON, July 14.—T he following
address has just been issued:
To the Officers and Soldiers of the army of
Virginia:
By special assignment of the President of
the United States, I have assumed the come
wand of this army. I have spent two weeks
in learning your whereabouts, your condi
tion and your wants, in preparing you for ac
tive operations, and in placing you in posi
ions from which you can act promptly and
`to the purpose.
These labors are nearly completed, and I
am about to join you in the field.
Let us undprstani each other. I have
come filo_
seen the backs of our enemies—from in'army,
whose business it has been to seek the ad
versary, and to beat him when he was found
—whose policy has been attack and not de
fence. In but one case has the enemy. been
able to ►lace our Western armies in a defen
sive attitude.
I presume that I have been called here to
pursue them, and to lead you against the
enemy. It is my purpose to do so, and that
speedily. I am sure you long for an oppor
tunity to win the distinction you aro capable
of achieving; that opportunity I shall en
deavor to give you.
In the meantime 1 desire you to dismiss
from your minds certain phrases, which I
am sorry to find much in vogue amongSt you.
I hear constantly of taking strong positions,
and holding them, of lines of retreat, and of
bases of supplies. Let us discard such ideas.
1e strongest position a soldier - should
desire to occupy, is one from which he can
most easily advance' against the enemy. Let'
us study the probable lines of retreat of our
opponents, and leave our own to take care of
themselves. Let us look before us and not
behind. Success and glory are in the ad
vance. Disaster and shame lurk in the rear.
Let us act on this understanding, and it is'
safe . to predict. that your banners shall be
inscribed with many a glorious deed, and
that your namerrwill be dear to your country
men forever. JOHN POPE,
3fajcii Genera! Commanding,
Letter From "Occasional." •
WASHINGTON, July 15 : 1862.
The President's request that the two
Houses of Congress s! all not adjourn until
anti, has been taken on his suggestions fiir
the protection of the slave property of, the
loyal men of the Border States, which re
quest has been complied with, proves that
when be proclaimed his desire to aid these
States in the work of gradual emancipation,
he did nit make a politician's promise. One
of the most persistent charges against the
President's policy is the assertion that he
never intended to go beyond a mere recom
mendation, and that, after the work of' eman
cipation had boon commenced, Congress
would refuse to make compensation. Such
a misrepresentation has done much harm in
Delaware, Maryland, and other States. It is
to be hoped that the friends of the President
will bear these things in memory when they
comet to am upon the measure he lies pre
sented to them. Mr. Lincoln has taken a
grave responsibility, and Congres should not
allow bun to bear it alone.- - Their former
emphatic sanction of his remedy should be
, d_by_liber-44ippropriation-to-p •
trial. This will have the effect of giving
new strenght to the people of' the Broder
States, and may hasten the close of' the war.

in a vigorous and determined "campaign
against the traitors. Any other course is
simply tolielp the traitors and to hamper
and fetter the President. Indeed, however
it may be excused, the half-hearted advocates
of the Union are imperceptibly:but irresisti

they intend, to hod in these ranks, they need

Gradtial Emancipation ecmtinum-'- - iirgittla
Free Soil.
.We continue to chronicle the unceasing
stampede of contrabands, in order that, 'our
readers may learn'Of the deliejous fruits of
the demon secession. They conduits to - lame
rolling in from every Southern Point of the
compass. A contraband from 110e.r..coUnty
came in town on Tuesday last, - . Winging his
wife and children, and traveling in ellegant
, style. He came in eine. buggy, drawn by
a splendid• horse, the whole party wore *ell'
dressed, fond had. plenty of Money. Tfiey -
provided, and brought along 'With thorn a '
large supply of the . comfor.ts. of life,
man reports that his roaster had '.gone •to
-Richmond, with a luantity•of "cattlePfilfielt
' en's, &c., &., and that he expected to return
on Saturday the 12th inst., after whlch time
be was going to take said .eontrahands to -

or somewhere down. South. The

they could- from the Egyptians, before_ ,they
left.for the promised land of Canaan, never
intending to return - a single article to the own

We learn that' thousands aro being sent by .
their owners 'down Souf," While thousands
arc running away and going .tkNerf," so that,
by the two operations,. we 'think' it quite
probable that Virginia wilt s itecorike a free
state before gradual emancipation can take
effect according to•any law that may be made
on the - subject. We do not think ; , from •
present appearances, that. either Congress or
Virginia, will find it very difficult to legislate
negrocs out of the state of ViTinia. Surly
Virginians will begin to &insider; the evil
results of Secession, and abandon'the
ed thing for good and forever, ' Gradual
-
emancipation is going . on. • . .• • " ' .

American citizens can tinly'Vd true friends
to their own sections of country, by being
true friends to their wholikeountry. If the
country as a whole can be broken, up l and
destroyed, then each and every part compos - -
ing the whole may likewise be destroyed. If
the elements of destruction within the Fed
eral Government be sufficiently strong to
destroy the Government, then the elements
of destruction within the klouthern Confed
eracy aro sufficiently strongao dash it into
as many fragbients as there iirecimeititittient
parts, or States.' •If the Union, the Federal
GovernMent, this nobly grand, and towering
ly sublime, fabric; reared by our ancestors,
men, who possessed the clearest, heads - and
purest hearts the world has ever known,
cannot stand, what must be the end
of a Confederacy' built upon - the 'disorgani
zing principles of secession, the very otomo
logical meanin ,, of which is, to disorganize,
rend, tear, divide, cut asunder. split up, and
rush on to g eneral destruction ? Away then
with this damnable, traitorous doctrine of
secession, that because a minis a friend' to
his whole country; therefore, he must be an
enemy and traitor his own little peculiar
s'iction, or Stdte. • • .
