ened- But Frederic did not stop at the grocery
or shop; his time was limited, and, to avoid a
late return, which would cause his mother and
CamerOne much uneasiness, he proceeded at once
Linn with impatience.
As soon as the ceremonies of greeting were
over Frederic drew his chair near the fire, divest-
ing himself of his overcoat and cap, exclaimed,

holding small lamp in her hand. Her black
hair hoated down over her white dress in wild
disorder. unfastened 10y comb or braid. and her
large glittering eyes were fixed ON me with an
intensity that made me shudder.n

And spread IN rhythmic lines the sacred story

Kindly exerted, yet will make them bright.

The New York Times Ct Saturday Doth. has the
following prophetic article, prefaced by a notice
of the last affair at Bull 8 Run
The worst result of the repulse ia that II has
postponed the advance until Gen. Beauregard can
obtain all those reinforcements which the irnma
diate menace of a collision calls for. These he
can draw without difficulty from Richmond. 1t is
also more IMAM probable that Gen. Johnson pass.
ing manassas Gap, has by this time reached the
Junction with his fifteen thousand mer-tbe nur.
SUIT OF General Patterson being so tardy rs to re.
lleVe the enemy from apprehension of an attack
on the ank until after the main conflict shall have
been decided. II those impressions be correct, it
IS quite certain that the rebel chief is at the head
OF a force outnumbering our own intrenched be-
hind powerful batteries of Rihed Cannon and
ready to rtreat upon larger scale the incident at
Bulls Run. We may be foolishly sanguine as to
the result OF contest in which the enemy has the
choice OF position and the protection of elaborate
defences.
We shall be absurdly misguided if we reckon
on nothing but displays of poltroonery on the part
of our adversares 1t is to initiate tho silly bravo
do OF Palmettodom to assume that the northern
soldier is more than a match for two or even one
of his antagonists 1t is far better to rate the en-
envy in these and all other respects at his full val
ne, than to rush upon him recklessly on the faith
of these false assumptions and gross niscalcula-
tlons 1t is indeed quite within the range of pos.
sib1lty that, in the event of collision at Manas-
sas junction our army may not obtain that victory
which ID popularity regarded certain and for
this deplorable contingency it will be well to have
our minds prepared. HadGen. Patterson follow
ed up the retreat of johnson so actively as to &C
| company the general attack in front by one on
the flank and rear Of Gen. Beauregard's position
| we might anticipate success with greater conf
II dence. This failure may 6eget as a Waterloo

rrow the Rehels eset News.

We hear that the daughter Of late United
States Senator from Virginia is now iii Newark,
N. j., holding constant communication with
the rebels and frankly avowing her sympathy
with treason. A correspondent writes us:
This traitor has twice visited the enemys
camp at Manassas Junction, and has had more
recent interviews with Beauregard than any Of
our loyal officers. She can go through Wash
ington and our camps said on of our ablest
lawyers lately, and see ten times more than
you or can, and report it all to the rebels, with
out carrying letter or fragment of paper
about her. F."
We are also informed that the wife of an Off.
Ger in the rebel army is visiting relatives in an
other town in New Jersey, and that she is per-
mitted free passage to and from the traitors
camp
OF course, these female Secessionsts are
greatly interested in the welfare of their kin
dred i'll the rebel ranks. 1t is quite indispensa-
bic for them to make frequent visits to Virgin
ia, and equally necessary that they should visit
the Federal lines before their departure. In
this way the rebels have undoubtedly received
important intelligence fthe position and move
ments of the army. The loyal people of New
jersey who regard treason as the viest Of
crimes, have set so close watch upon these Ia
dies as to have become convinced of their com
plicty with the rebels. The correspondent
from whose letter we have already quoted, gives
us this additional bit of news:
Only few nights ago, friend of the wri-
ter was particularly interrogat9d by lady in
mourning as to the welfare Of General Bcaure-
gard, and the last intelligence from his forces !;
when, the minuteness of her inquiries awaken
ing his suspicious, he learned, on subsequent
inquiry, that the lady was the wife of Major
l., and that she left the Park House, in
Newark, day or two afterwards, carrying let
tiers from Newark ane Elizabeth to the rebels at
Norfolk
1t may be suggested to these female Seces-
sionists that aid and comfort to the enemy IS
punishable in a woman who conducts her ope-
rations IN quiet way, as a man who acts with
greater boldness.
