RETREAT eF THE REBELS.
The retreat Of the rebel forces from
Ha1per's Ferry, before theadvancing col
umns Of Federal Troops, is fully confirm
ed Firing the railroad bridges and doing
whatever else they could to protect their
rear, they LEFT IN haste, either to take up q
new position at Winchester, or to join
their confedezntes at Manassas junction,
and swell the thousands against whom the
columns under command Of Gen. Scott
will be launched. Whichsoever they do,
they will find that mot any too much
breathing time will be allowed them. If
stopping At Winchester, they. will be com
PEELED to stand against the Pennsylvanians,
twenty-five Kthouaand in number, advanc-
ing from Cumberland, and the Ohio, Indi-
ara and Wheeling boys TO the, number
Of nine thousand, coming upon their
flank from the West If they
hasten On to Manassas, the strength which
,ley will add IL, The Confederate forces,
Will be more than connterbalanced by the
powerful aid which the thirtyJ one thou
sand loyal men now in pursuit will be able
10 gire to Gen. Mansaeld's army en-
trcrched about Alexandria. ~:S' Ssi.s :.
More than two weeks ago Gen. Scott
tolda friend who sought an interview with
him, to urge greater rapidly of movement,
that this very thing would happen. II vii, !"
said he, "wind 3 coil about those fellows
st Harpcr's Ferry, and I will take them
prisoners without firing gmt,ors I will
compel them to flee for their Hives, with
an inyincihle force close upon their heela.' -
Theee are his words; and he: has made
them good ..,:,-~-> =. u:
The immediate effect Of. the movement
will be TO relieve the Commander-in-C Chief
Of sill fear Of an attack On his rear, which
OF one time seemed to be the danger most
to be apprehended. tsecures the contin;
ued good behavior Of Baltimore, and opens
up line OF; communication: between: that

(. The question. Is finally answered by Bos-
ton u'conefpondent Of: the New York 1ri5nne.
Gen. Pierce was lately militia Colonel, nv.
Ing In Bristol county; he went At ths head Of
bis regiment In answer 10 The call Of Govern:
ment; and when Gen. Butler WIS promoted,
he F.s ns1ned BY Gov. Andrew to take bis
place. The General has been considered a
good man It home but his military capacity
hss all along been doubted: We hope, for the
sake Of The unfortunate: 1nan,; thaa further
examination OF his case viii relieve him Of the
odium with which he has been visited.

Freedom Of Conscience.

Almost every man believes in Deity.
Almost every man worship,. after l,is own
fashion, the deity ho recognizes as his Gre
ator, as Providence, as the Infinite, and SO
1n---for names are nothing when the IDEA
exists, and names are only the ever-vary-
ing expression Of that idea aGreeably to
the forms Of speech. In inoat nations The
worship Of the Deity is made systematic,
and identified with the authority of the
State, in order to cosrce all men into a una
uimiry of devotion. As this is destructive
to ali independence Of faith, il il tyranny
and oppression. To open refuge for fii-
gives from such tyranny and oppres-
sion, ovr government was instituted, and
every man was originally guaranteed un-
der IFS constitution the utmost freedom OF
conscience aAd religious conviction.
We are very much afraid, however, that
our country will not long maintain this
proud prr-emin-nce Of liberty. Little bv
