1t is generally admitted that the rebels
under jackson and Ewell are making pre-.
paration either to attack Pope's forces. or
move down the west side Of the Shenan-
doah. Some well informed even insist
that battle may come off in three or -four
days. Everything would depend upon
such battle. and the consequences Of de.
feat could hardly be estimated.

what Is CONSERVATISM ,

Iron Geo. F. Train's last Speech in Lordon
Lord Brougham, the social science toady
of the Peers, is no longer the once beloved
Henry Brougham of the people TCheers
and dissent. There goes Brougham's car
Iiags, said noble Lord to Sydney Smith.
You see the B. outside. Yes, replied the
wit but there is wasp within. Laugh
teri Were the Dean alive to-day how
Quick be would observe that the great Re-
former had given up Reform-that the lead
ing Liberal was no longer the advocate of
liberal ideas-in short that the wasp had
lost his sting. [Applause,l Mr.. o Brien
asked, What is Conservatism Shall de-
scribe it Yes.1 Well-then, eonserga-
tism is old monarehies-old notians-old
customs-old men and Lord Brougham--
TLaughter-1 Conservatism is the great fiat
stone upon the green sward. Dig it up aud

with purity and joy. Loud cheers.] Con-

gress is the removal. EGheers.1 The one

bears the same relation to Toryism that the

an eunuch-the other an entire man.

Who WeN The DAY AT HANOVER CoURT
HoUsE.-The Hanover Court House battle
is getting to be rather stale theme, and 1
must ask pardon for making it the subject
of even q winding up paragraph. 1t is a
known fact, however, that nearly every
regiment in the division sail claims to have
won the day. The most singular claim 10
this honor was put in to-day by an officer
OF the 4lh Michigan regiment, which regi-
nent as is well known, did not FIRE shot
although this, of course, was no fault Of
theirs.
"0ther regiments are boasting of what
they did" said the officer referred to, at
Hanover Court House, but the 4th Michigan
won the day after all ?
"You did not discharge musket" re-
piled the person addressed.
Is know that
"How, then, could you win the day ?'
1.-THE enemy heard that the Alb Michigan
was On the field, and, knowing how this
regiment thrashed a whole brigade at New
Bridge, they knew the day was up with
them, and they skedaddled at ones" N.

The Glorious 22d.

Every patriot will rejoice in the fact that
tAe proud memories Of Washington's Birth
Day anniversary are once more unObscured
by the harassing doubts and fears and terri
bic facts Of revolt which enshrouded it one
year ago One year ago, the country was
appalled, at what it could not comprehend.
One year ago, men refused to trust each other,
while the dominant parties in power at the
national capital, folded their arms before the
gathering storm, with the no less traitorous
declaration that there was no authority vest
ed IN the President to prevent secession or
arrest rebellion. One year ago, on Washing
tons birthday, James Buchanan, then Pres
ident Of the United States, refused to permit
. company Of U. S. Artillery to manevre on
parade in the streets of Washington city, be-
cause, as it was then alleged, sit might tend
to exssperate the already excited feelings of
the people (traitors) of the SOUTH" One
year ago, our flag, the glorious stars and
stripes, was trailed in the dust in tho South
But to-day, there is no more doubt in
the public mind--no more uncertainty
and wav.ring imbecility in the Executive
of the nation while the stars
and stripes once more proudly float in
every State in the American Union except
Louisiana and Texas, with every assurance
that in three months more the rebellion will
have been entirely crushed out. In consid-
'ration of these facts this anniversary should
,e hailed with joy and gratitude and with
'uch demonstration as will do honor to the
memory Of our great Chief, as we'll as such
'espect as will renew the general confidence
n the national cause.-Daily, %.
