THE NEXT GREAT Katie


The next great battle between the armies
on the Potomac is not lightly estimated by
the Northern press. The New York Herald
says of it:
A terrible battle is at hand between the
100000 troops on the banks OF the Potomac,
in the vicinity of Wasbington-200,0 600 on
either side-a battle which will be greater
than that of Waterloo, and will probably be
decisive against the party which loses it
| The mighty results depending on it involve
the destiny of the people of this continent,
and perhaps of modern civilization LII there
| should be partial defeat of the Federal ar
my, let the Abolition leaders who instigated
| the rebellion and the 1ar-Phillips, Garrison,
Greeley, Beechcr, Cheever, Tappan, Jay and
their associates-lOok out for another coun-
try, as this will be too hot to hold them. Ii
| there should be total defeat OF the Federal
army, together with the capture of Washing
ton. let the anti-slavery demagogues who, for
| the last thirty years, have been stirring up
the embers OF strife which resulted in the
Southern revolt, look out fast as they can
for some asylum beyond the limits of the
American continent, for this is the only way
in which they can consult the safety OF their
imperilled necks.
THE "GRAND UNION ARMY UNDER REVIEW.
In the absence of something better to do,
General MCCLELLAN has been marching his
Grand Union Army around, much to the adj
miration of the Westinghouse. A Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Herald
writes:
One of the finest displays of cavalry and
artillery ever witnessed upon this continent,
was made this afternoon. on the parade
e IL
were two thousand cavalry and eight bate
ries of artillery in line. Each battery con-
sists of six pieces, making forty-eight pieces.
About an equal proportion of S2-pound how
itzers, Parrot rifed cannon, James rifed
cannon, and Napoleon guns. constituted the
character of the ordnance. The cavalry was
under the command of Gen. Stoneman, and
the artillery under the command of Gen. Ber-
ry, both aids to Gen. Mcclellan. and detailed
to the several services named.
The whole was reviewed by Major-General
Mcclellan, at four O'Clock. The General
was accompanied by Gen. Van Vleet, Quar-
termaster of the department of the Potomac;
Inspector General Marcy, Capt. Sykes and
Capt. Hudson, of General McClel1an's staff,
General Mansfield and staff, General Andrew
Porter and staff, General Fitz John Porter,
General Meigs, Gen. Keyes, General Smith,
General Blenker and staff, including Prince
Il
SON and two nephews.
This entire party accompanied the COM
handing general in the grand interview. 1t
was witnessed by at least five thousand peo-
pie, and was highly satisfactory to General
Mcclellan, TO guests, and to the spectators
generally.
Towards the close of the display an acct
dent of a serious character took place. As
the artillery was passing at the double quick,
the tongue of caisson broke, throwing the
artellerists from their seats, and causing Sc
we're injuries to two of them.
TOO MANY PATRIOTS.
The North is afflicted just at this time with
too many patriots, more valiant in words
than in deeds. The Herald is affected with
quite a disgust for these Falstahian warriors,
and says:
Our hotels and streets are frequented by
altogether too many colonies, majors, cap
tains and other officers of the Federal army,
who ought to be sharing the fatigues of their
comrades at the seat of war. Some of these
gentlemen, more valiant, we fear, in words
than in deeds, have been strutting about in
uniforms for months, boastiDg much, and
great favourites in bar-rooms, but apparent
ly quite Falstaflian in valour. Let them be
packed off to Missouri, or to the banks of the
Potomac
