The North and the South.

Those who immagiIe that in the present
contest of the traitors have been more sue
cessful than our own troops, and that they
have exhibited greater capacity for protrac-
ted war than the friends of the Union, great.
ly misapprehend the true position of affairs.
1t is true that we have encountered some sad
reverses, and that we have not accomplished
all that we desired to perform. But there is
disposition to magnify the extent of our
reverees and mistakes. and TO undeIvalue
the effect of our offensive operations, and the
magnitude of our preparations for defence,
which should be corrected. 1t should not be
forgotten that our enemies will never risk an
important battle unless it is offered under
such conditions as render their success
almost certain. On all ordinary occasions
their policy is to make retreat after retreat,
until the patience of our troops lis exhausted,
or they are enticed into extremely unfavora-
bly, positions They have captured Fort
Sumpter, won the battle of Manassas, and
compelled Col. Mulligan to surrender. but on
ali these occasions their armies so vastly
outnumbered our own that their triumph
was alwost inevitable. On the other hand,
we can Joint to the triumph of Lyon at
Bonneville. the brilliant successes in Wes-
tern Virginia, our triumphs ia many minor
skirmishes, our capture of tae forts at Hat
teras Inlet, our destruction of number of
their privateers, including the recent dash
ing exploit at Pensacola, cur complete de-
fence of the capital despite their vainglori-
GUS threats of captureing it, our efficient
blockade, our well-maintained line of forces
along the Potomac, in Western Virginia, in
Kentucky, and in Missouri. 1t is evident,
too, that every new day increases our
strength and weakens our enemies. We are
adding to the number and improving the
condition of our men, and constantly obtain.
ing new munitions and powerful means OF
aggression, by land and by sea. Their pow
er has already eliminated, and every hour
diminishes it. Few new recruits can be OBJ
tanned for their armies, and the means Of
supporting and equipping them are consum-
ed much more ripidly than they can be pro-
duced or replaced. Whenever the curtain
which hides the real state of affairs in the
South from our view is partially withdrawn,
frightful picture of destltution and misery
is disclosed to US. The people of their sea-
board cities are living in daily dread of at
taeks from powerful combined naval and
land expeditions against which they have nc
efficient protection, and with their trade al
most entirely destroyed, and every man com
PEELED to perform military duty, their condi-
ton is inconceivably ccplorable. The peo-
pie of their rural districts, having no market
for their products, and no means of supply
ing most of their numerous wants. are redu-
ced to ssmi-barbarous state. and the dreat
of servile insurrections constantly thrills
them with horror. They are rapidly reali-
zing the terrible realities of their position
and it would not be surprising if fearfu
rebellion against the rebellion should breal
out even in the heart of the South.

Steering Events at Hand.

ASHlNGION, OCt. Ii.
The excitement and anxiety which pre-
vailed yesterday and the day before has
gradually passed away and the city to day
outside OF the movement OF the soldiery,
presents a quiet appearance. Everthlng,
however, betoksns stirring events at hand
Befor tomorrow night it is expected that our
forces will be strongly entrenched at Fairfax
and Centreyille. A strong reconnaissance
was made this morning from the neighbor-
hood of Lewinsville 1t is not believed that
the Rebels will make stand at either place,
but that they will retreat as they did from
Munson's Hill. It is more than probable
that the next great blow will be struck on
the old battle ground at Bull Run. One
thing can be depended upon, that Gen. Nc
Clellan is determined that there shall be no
retreat or backward movement.

Pennsylvania and the War.

Gen. Mcclellan has now the uncontrolled
command of the army on the Potomac. This
has been conceded to him by the Cabinet, so
that henceforth he is to be charged with all
defeats and credited with all success in that
vicinity of our or eratiions. The young sold
ier feels the responsibility thus resting upon
him, and is ever willing to listen to the sugs
gestious or advice Of veterans like Scott, and
yet, like the first Napoleon, after listening to
the counsels of bis aids and associates, be
generally forms his own opinions, natures
his own plans, and acts on them promptly
in every case. Pennsylvania has cause to be
proud of their connection and identifcati ms
with this struggle. Her force is now the
largest in the field and in the camp. One of
ber youngest men is at the head of the larg~
est federal force in the field, and one of her
most practical. energetic and able statesmen
is at the War Department. All these con-
nections and facts must be gratifying to the
people of the Keystone State, who in their
admiration of this young hero and more mar
ture men of council, do not forget that men
such as these belong to the whole nation, and
that their labors and their fame cannot be

Great Flood in the West Branch of the
susquehanna.
IMMkNSE Loss OF PROPERTY.

The storm on Friday, SAYS the Williams.
port Gazette, of the I'd inst, caused the
West Branch Of the Susquehanna to rise
with an unparalleled rapidity and to an un-
usua! height. The rising commenced ON
Saturday morning and cogtinued until about
midnight on Saturday night. For time
during Saturday forenoon the water rose at
the rate of three feet in an hour. The great
est ne. ght attained was twenty-one feet and
lew inches, (by marks, two and quarter
inches less than the noteable food of Febru-
airy, 1888, and twenty inches less than the
memorable flood of October, I847-the
greatest ever known in this river.) The loss
of property by this flood is enormous. From
early Saturday morning until night about
one half Of the surface of the river was GOV.
cred with lumber, mingled with farm pro-
duce. The lumber was in round logs. square
logs, boards, shingles. and lath lin RATS,
piles and single pieces. Various estimates
have been made by lumberman of the amount
(including all descrfptpns) that passed this
place, and from all these we Judge that fifty
million feet would be fair amount to name,
Although some of the Williamrport lumber
men suffer severely by this calamity. the loss
does not entirely fall upon them, but rather
the largest proportion of it upon those oper4
ating above this point. All the booms along
bo riuor xxrara mora or loco Javnoaol
Lock Haven boom was emptied and crippled,
and the Susquehanna boom partially cleared.
From fifteen to twenty million feet remain
in the Susquehanna boom, and considerable
in its adjunct, leading behind the islands at
the lower end of Williamsport. The value
of the lumber that passed this place must
exceed twenty million Of dollars, but of
course it is not total loss to the owners.
All along the river the water made sad
havoc with farms by inundating them and
carrying away fences, outstanding crops,
&c. The West Branch Canal was also dam
aged at several points. Lock Haven was
inundated ane communication with it cut off
until Monday. In Williamsport the water
surrounded few houses in the southwest
corner and some others on the southeast COR
ner of town, but did no great damage Within
the borough further than that carse& by
filing cellars, overfowing gardens, floating
plankwalks, and in few instances coming
in contact with steam machinery.
Including the valae of logs gone adrift,
the damage done the valley will probably
not fall much short of million Of dollars.
