WASHINGTON, June II, 1871.
The Government has received Dispatch
es which state that Harper's Ferry has
been completely evacuated. aud the troops
stationed at that point are on the march
to Manassas Junction.
Some apprehcDd a speedy attack upon
our lines here from the cou,bined force,
but others relying upon the well anthem
ticatcd reports touching the bad condi-
ton Of the Harpor's Ferry rebels believe
that they will d~ispcrsc in the course of
the march from Winchester to S~trasburg.
or that at all events they will arrive at
Manassas ia no condition to commence
active operations. The last is probably
the true state of the case.
The retreat from ~IIarper's Ferry trans
fers the immediate centre Of operations
to Manassas Junction Whether the Reb-
els will make a desperate assault upon
our lines here, as some still seem to be
lieve, or will strengthen their position
and await attack at the junction wheth-
er our columns viii at once advance from

But considering the scarcity Of food and
the general disaffection, We cannot but
think that the Rebels viii soon feel oblig-
ed to bring on an action or retreat. We.
shall not be likely to move until thor
oughly ready.
The reported evacuation of Harpcr's
Ferry is not, however, altogether credited
by military men. They have no doubt
that a large portion of the forces there
have been withdrawn, but think that q
considerable garrison still holds the place.
The Government has dispatches which
say that there is still some doubt Of the

The American Peace Society recently
held its thir.y-third annual meeting il
Park Street church, Boston, Hon. 4
Walker 10 the chair.
The Directors say that they stand in
an unexpected position--face to face with
a rebellion. They are asked what course
should be pursued? The answer is,
/" Under the peace system such evils
could never have occurred" They would
have every peace man stand by the Gov
crnmont, il every way consistent with his
peace principles A series Of resolutions
were then presented, Of which the follow
ing is the substance:
That the coulse of affairs in Europe
and America shows how necessary it is
that the Society should make renewed ex.
%ertions that the rebellion in this country
and the attempt to suppress it, calls fol
the Society's most earnest Affection 4; that
had the principles Of the Peace Society
been needed, much Of this distraction
might have been prevented that the
adopticn of the war policy will entail upon
US evils beyond mortal Imagination that
more confidence than ever is held in peace
principles that until such principles are
adopted there can be no security; that
true peace principles are sure to settle
the existing difficulties.
The above is the miIk-and-water posi-
ton of the American Peace S0ciety-a
society that has always taken the ultra
ground that al wal is sinful, and that
has required its members to pledge them
selves not to bear arms in any war "for
whatever purpose, declared, wagei or
maintained" The time has come when
the Society must either abandon its arti-
cles Of faith, or the Government which
has protected it. 1t does the latter. It's
language is Every peace man should
by the Government in every way
consistent with his peace principles
are, that all war, for whatever pur-
pose, is sinful hence the present war Tor
the defence of the Government is sinful
consequently no peace man is allowed to
stand by the Government without aban-
the Society.
If the patriotic sense of public scnti-
ment detests an avowod neutrality, what
to be the feeling OF adherence to-
a society claiming the principles Of
peace as its basis, and yet would quietly
acquiesco in the foul plots and deeds of
treason, surrender the Federal Govern
mcnt to traitors, and yet stolidly regret
that the principles it advocates could not
have been needed
