THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

We publish this morning SONIC additional de-
tails of the battle at Edwards's Ferry, and a
connected narrative compiled from authentic
sources. This intelligence shows in the most
clear light the splendid behavior Of the National
troops, who, in the face of an overpowering
force, maintained their position till absolutely
OVerrun, and at no moment lost the presence
OF mind which alone preserved them from total
rOut. Gen. Mcclellan went from Washington
to the scene of the conflict, on Tuesday. He
found the troops Of Gems. Banks and Stone in
good condition, and holding a fine position.
Though the details Of the casualties are not
yet given, it seems probable that our losses are
much larger than at first reported, and the
number Of the missing is great
The funeral Of Col. Baker is to take place
to-day at Washington. The deep feeling which
this calamity has caused finds an eloquent ex.
preston in a special order of Gen. McClel
lan's upon tie subject.
There is nothing new of Importance concern

Col. Taylor, in command of the Rebels
OF Springfield, Mo-, has issued proc
lamation ordering all Union men who have
borne arms in the Home Guard to leave the
country, or 60 into the Southern Army for the
same length of time as they had served against
it. The proclamation also prohibits the carry.
ing any more slaves South, as such q course
is calculated to lessen the confidence of the
people in the ability of the Rebels to maintain
themselves in Missouri.
We print this morning letter Of consider
able Importance from our own correspondent
in Louisville concerning the plans of the Rebels
with reference to Kentucky and Tennessee. lie

ragged public opinion. The vail of patriotism
was too thin a disguise to hide the hideous
features of treason and Disunion that lurked
beneath it, and popular indignation could moi
long tolerate the treacherOus pretense. There
are none now base or rash enough 10 lisp o.
peace.
This second lesson had its due effect for q
season, and journals like The Herald and The
Journal Of Commerce again put themselves upon
their good behavior. But its efficacy is wear
ing out and the old virus is breaking forth in q
new place. The traitors now have seized upon
the Slavery question in tho hope of making it
an obstacle to the successful prosecution of the
war. They know that upon this subject preju-
dice has been bitter, and the feeling intense
for maue years. and they hope by arouslng
these again to SOW mstrust and dissenson; to
array friend against friend upon false issue;
to precipitate the Government into some rash
act against its best supporters, on the one
hand, or to hold it back from vigorous policy
on the other, even where such policy might
command universal assent as legal and neces-
sary. To uphold Slavery they consider as OF
far more Importance than to maintain the In
tegrity of the Union and the supremacy Of the
Constitution. A mans right to " own mig
" ger" is to them above all the rights of free
men, all the blessings of a free Government.
Whatever loyal men may think to be the wisest
method to pursue with this vexed subject,
whether to abolish it, to let it alone, to leave it
to or to hasten its fate, they are all agreed
that it shall not and the discussion OF it shall
not interfere with the re-establiahment OF the
Constitution and the laws. But not so with
The Herald, The Journal Of Commerce, and the
class they represent. They drag in the mon.
ster on oil occasions, and seek, by its distract.
ing influence, to divide the country in the
mighty work it has before it. But let them
take warning by the past. Twice has treachery
been unnasked, and it succeeds no better this
time than before in hiding its hideOus pro-
portions. The people are no more to be drawn
from their purpose by this false issue than they
have been by others, and the labOrs Of traitors
will again be, as heretofore, in vain.

There appears to be, in this world, mora

Couvier: "By an instinct of nature, we are

90 hOrring justice, right, and equity; each wish.
ing to be not master, but favored slave.
Were there but three men in the world, ono
would pay court to another, and call him
Lord and these two together would force
sc the third to work for him." And what
work it has been--that which King Cotton and
the Duke of Doughface have compelled the
critics and politicians, and sometimes, alas
the preachers, to do! The world never before
witnessed such modification OF creeds, such
Iameness of logic, such perversion Of his
tory, such o mOckey of the Creator, such
waste of learning, such debaucbsry
of morals, such an enfeeblement Of the
intellect, such a crooking of the knee.
hinges, such a paralysis of the tongue, and
such a stopping Of the ears, as we have all
seen exhibited at the reproductive fat Of
Slavery, which began by stealing the bodies Of
blacks and continued by stealing away the
brains of whites. But it is oyer-thaDk
Heaven it is over! The people understand

The Slavery which quoted Scripture texts and
picked the rocket of the Northern artisan will

but that Of White Emancipation from tho
