little or no abatement until the chief portion or
whole Of the army in that neighborhood was -

retreat Of the main body Of the army, or de-
feating its purpose Of crossing and taking posi-
ton upon the Virginia side, the large reconnoiter-
ing force sent ont In advance was defeated with
loss Of more than one man in ten, . large por-
ton Of the arms and equipments Of those en-.
gsged was lost, the entire force Was driven back

accomplish such an undertaking In handsome

confidence of our troops in their commanders

Men talk to US, in the true spirit of dema-
Rogues, of the propriety of laying aside all
old party feelings, and uniting as one man
and one party in an effort to save our coun-
try, by which they mean the Southern Con.
federacy. We are truly said to be in the
midst Of revolution, but it is one to revive
and establish a corrupt Democracy. A rev.
olutionary and blood. thirsty spirit is in the
land, and anarchy has taken the place Of
law. Personal safety ard liberty, so much
esteemed and SO much valued in our hitherto
peaceful country, are not o respected or
allowed. Violence is the order Of the day,
and 1t acts without mercy, without reason,
and in defiance of the sacred duties and
nobler instincts of mans better nature. Its
rules and modes of warfare are the COM
mands of the baser passions, influenced by
incendiary appeals, and irritated and d.
rected by the voice of unbridled malice, led
on by the worst men, for the most part, that
ever God permitted to breathe the vital air.
These men are, ss a general thing, from the
ranks of what was formerly known as the
Demoerdhcp party.
They have recruits from other old organ
%izations, but they are, in almost every
instance, the worst men in those exploded
the excitement the more intent upon adding
10 the flames Of passion and increasing
violence of every sort. >,
We repeat that the follies and aims of a
Democratic party, long in power, have
involved this country in all this trouble.
That corrupt organization has brought on
this fearful conflict, We have fought them
through a twenty years war, and witnessed
their strides, warned the country of the
coming conflict, and predicted all that has
yet transpired. Our only remaining predic-
ton to be yet verified is, that " when mon
archs err, the Greeks are punished" The
dragons teeth are being sown broadcast,
and from our green yallies, our mountains,
our fertile riyer-banks, and heretofore quiet
villages, spring discord and war, with all
their horrorsl Peace has forsaken our
country; union is at an end and liberty OF
speech and of conscience is no morsl Icha-
bod is written on our door-posts 4; it is on
our Senate halls and it is on the hearts OF
all good men, who mourn the downfall Of

PHrson BrOwnlOw on the Coming Conflict.
The mastering into Virginia of twenty
thousand volunteers from the Southern
States, and the joining of them there by
thirty thousand more, plainly indicate that
a conflict is close at hand. The blow, when
made, will be terrible, hard and decisive.
Nor will it terminate at the Capital; Rich
mond will feel it; Norfolk will perish, and
Charleston will crumble TO ruins, while the
stars and stripes will again be run up at Fort
Sumter. This is the course the wal will
take, and the hostile armies march upon
Montgomery - 4t ni
We, of course, have no authority for any
such calculation, except what we calculate,
in casting our eyes over the field. Nothing
of IL will occur, unless the South shall invite
il by attacks on their part. We believe the
attack will be made by the Southern army,
and that this hurrying to the scene Of war is
for that purpose. If such attack is made,
how terrible will be the avenging spirit of
the Northern army, outraged and insulted as
they have been, by our charges of eowardice,
ruffianism and inetficiency. -
We shudder at the thought of what is to
follow, if the South shall be SO perfectly in
sane as to make this attack, and to provoke
a march of the Northern army into our coun-
try. 1t will be a case in which, having sown
the wind, we must of necessity reap the
whirlwind. We feel for the thousands OF
young men in the Southern army, who have
been drummed and flied into this war, with.
out once realizing the danger ahead. We
have done all that was in our power, or the
power of the press, TO prevent this war, but
bad men would have il, and it is upon US
with all its consequencesl ts

that no serious casualty occurred during the

sions are reported at Fort Moultfie, bat non

On the next day a sad casualty occurred
in saluting his flag, when the explosion of

down seven men one wa instantly killed,
and another 50 seriously wounded that he
died soon after reaching my hospital in
Charleston. One remains IN the hospital,

The ssuthern Chances Of Rnooess Against
The Administrasion-A Dospondont View
Of Secession.
The Knoxville (Tennj Mig of the iosh
inst. has the following;
We are not Of that ciess Of men who can
urge and 'stimnlata the young met Of the
South, 10 plunge heRd-long into this war,
under DE false delusion, and Rrouudless
hope, OF whipping out the North, whose
troops are all towards, and a low.down, In.
experienced tribe Of soup-eaters, and street.
loafers. That the South will succeed in a
few opening brushes, such as the taking Of
Fort Sumter, and the capture Of Harper's
Ferry, as well as the mobocratic assault Ia
Baltimore, we do not doubt, for one moment.
But that in the end, the South is TO fail, we
have no more donbt than we have Of our
being.
The receut census furnishes the proof Of
this, to any calm, deliberate mind, II shows
that the free States, which adhere to the
Government have apopulation ofmales, be-
tween eighteen and forty five, of three
millions seven hundred and seventy eight
thousand, and all the slave States have only
one million six hundred and ffty.fve thou
sand; while the seeding States, excluding
Virginia and Tennessee, have but Eve hun:
dred and twenty one Thousand.
To this vast difference in men, let US add
that of money, inventive skill, habits Of in-
dustry, and the entire absence of any ele-
ment Of domestic danger, and we shall find
the disparity infinitely greater. In a strug.
gle between such contending parties-which
may God in his mercy avert-who that is
uppreiudiced, and not led astray by excite.
ment, can fail to see what must be tho end3
We thus speak, because we are not mad
and wicked enough to want 10 see our land
drenched in blood, and our young men
slaughtered by thousands. Aud these coun
sells, now denounced as unpatriotic, will one
day be pointed to as wise counsels, and the
regret will be general that they were not
needed. H.,
True, our young men and their parents,
are encouraged, by our practical preachers,
who never expect to do any fighting them
selves, to believe that God is on our side
that our cause is just-and 'thst we are
bound TO succeed We have been studying
the character of God for the last forty years
past, and that too in the sacred Biography
of his own writing, and we confess that we
have not come up with any point in his
character, or nature, which warrants tho
belief that he will identify himself with the
Southern Oonfederscy in this conflict.
Tn war has been brought about without
any adequate cause. Ithas been inaugurated
by men whose morals and piety afford no
evidence Of their having had any intercourse
with God or his word. And the spirit dis
in every movement, thus far, forbids
the idea of God pitching in on either side.
We say this in NO irreverent spirit, but with
a view TO advise the parties not TO look for
help from a quarter whence it is not likely
to come. Fighting without any Just cause,
and upon their own hook, let them fall back
upon their own resourcest
