There has been no more significant incident in the

the annals of the last thirty days. Before the PreSi-

troops, perfect in discipline and equipment, beyond
any which has yet mustered 20 the national coloTs,

been immense and he who hereafter shall write the
chronicle of what has been and is yet 10 be, in this
strife will note this the pivot upon which the d.

resistance To rebellion

The restoration Of an unimpeded line Of travel TO the
North is one Of tie first # series Of undertakings
| Nor can the communication with the Wet and North
! West by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad be long
permitted to remain under blockade. The value OF the

that there ia here at this time, full appreciation Of
the exigencies Of the hour. Destitute the Admins
tration found themselves Of all Of The munitions OF war;
with the troops scattered inaccessible posts The ais
ing of an army with all of its appointments has been
almost creation. Nothing more clearly establishes
the vgor and energy of the people, than the accomplish
ments of the last three weeks and yet the Fame sue
ceeding period promises 10 be rich in the product
of these few days of wonderful enterprise The loyal
pulse of the patient walters may throb with expects
ton but never with anxiety.
