That loved them as emblems of truth
WnaTe are the hands that Guild, ere the dew
Of some beautiful morning had fed?
Rave they gone with the low, soft winds that blew
And left not trace of their tread

Is buried in memo-y's tomb.

Have grown to a manlier mould;

In sweet beauty so bright by the door,

And they'll dwell in our hearts evernore

The Richmond Wing, copy Of which

the war saws all the indications point TO a
long war. After commenting upon what

rebel Generals, policy which the editor
fails to appreciate, and showing the SUI
premacy the federal force has gained by
threatening the whole coast aud able to
assail at any point the extended frontier
Of the South, the following declaration Of
despair is uttered 1.-The possibility of
our success is no. within the range of ac-

have no skill in strategy and know moth

Generals, but If this is all that is left us,
we had better be looking out for terms OF
submission and the sooner the better. An
endless war which affords no opportunity
for victory or revenge is a bootless under.

offered themselves aud their all for the

Washington, Oct. %.


Generals Mcclellan, Banks and Stone
have been on the Virginia side of the Po-
tomac all day, in the vicinity of Leesburg,
and it is telegraphed to headquarters to-
night that our troops are in possession of
that place. The whole of Gen. Banks
command have crossed the river, SO that
our forces now are in sufficient strength
to meet any number the rebels are capa-
BILE of concentrating at that point. A re-
connoisance in force was made to day
from the camp of Gen. Blenker's Divi-
sion by way Of Annandale within few
few miles of Fairfax, without discovering
any body Of rebel forces. 1t is evident
the enemy has retired still farther from
the front of our lines.
am informed, by the highest author
ty in this Government, that the statement
in New York paper to day, that at a
Cabinet meeting yesterday, all the mem
bers of that body pronounced judgment
that Fremont should be superseded and
that the order to this effect be issued to-
day, is untrue. No such decision was
made in the Cabinet and as matter OF
course no such order was issued The
facts are, the condition of affairs In Gen
Fremont's Department was discussed In
Cabinet yesterday, and some of the mem
bers were in favor of depriying him OF ms
command Immediately and ordering him
here to be tried by court martial Others
opposed such action while in his present
position in the face of the enemy. The
subject occupied the President and Cabi
net several hours, when they decided b,
vote to leave the whole matter to the de
cision of the President. The latter finds
the question very difficult one to settle
involving, as it does, not only the grea
pecnnary interests of the Government
but perhaps immediate and important mil
itary results Together with the law offl
Ger Of the Government, he will give thu
subject thorough investigation and dc
eide it i'm accordance with the facts
Cassius Nj. Clay, our Minister to Rus
sia, has intimated To the Government tina
in view OF the threatening attitude Of th'
rebels he would prefer to surrender hi:
present commission as representative t
Russia and enter the army in active de
Tense of the Government. The Cabine
has the subject under consideration, anC
| kentuckians here are anxious for the re
turn of the gallant Cassius.

Washington, Oct. %.

w wv. -~''.
Only the Rhode Island officers stood by
their guns, the men retreating early in the
fray. The enemy charged from the woods
in all directions converging upon our force.
They were bravely met, but the slaughter
of our best officers and men was SO terrific
that the Federalists were at last obliged to
retreat Col Bakerwas killed BY horse
man who rode close to him and fired FIVE
shots from revolver all taking effect
The slayer was at once brought down in
turn by Capt. Derrie. The same brave
man recovered Bakers body, heading a
charge of his company for that purpose.
The California regiment took over, of men
and officers, six hundred and eighty nine.
The drowned are about fifty, killed thirty,
prisoners three hundred, and wounded
one hundred and twenty-five. Total,
505--safe, about 1874. Two howitzers and
two field pieces of the Second Rhode
Island battery were hauled up the bill
and effectively handled during the fight
by Col. Baker himself, aided by Visitor,
his Adjt., Hawley, Col Coggswell, of the
Tammany Regiment, and 90. g., Capt.

than the seaports of the loyal States, that
also are recommended to be fortified. 1t
does appear az If there was no other reason
under heaven for this command to cease
