Sunday Ereaing-At 10 o'clock this morning, the
| division of the army under command OF Gen. Cadwala-
der moved forward into Virginia. The troops crossed

yards The captains led their companies, ana
the men took the water like spanies-they dashed IN

struck the bank sold Virginias shore" they raised
a rousing cheer, which made the wekin nng. Inc
bugles and the ffes played and the men sang Dixie

| The sight of the army crossing the Potomac was
very grand and impressive well for the scene itself
in the midst of the most lovely landscape, go wing
with richest verdure under clear sky and bright,
Summer sun-as for the great occasion 30 remarkable
| and memorable in its character. Was it not tie Army

Yes, freedom for the divine Humanity II this War
were for anything short of realizing perfect equality
of rights for every human being, it would be the
most foolish crusade the dres butchery, that this
earth was ever stained withal. On the triumph Of
Freedom Slavery rests the honor and the fate of
this nation. We achieved national liberty through
the Revolution; must achieve individual lib
erty for all men in the nation, to make us as people
the worthy standard-bearer Of that holy which
| We claim 10 have espoused for all the world!
