TIE SITUATION,

The sudden dash made by the Rebels
upon Gen. Banks little army, in tn,
valley Of the Shenandoah, has aroused
the country from its imagined security Il
full realization Of the dangers that q
change ofpolcy, on the part Of the enc.
my, moy bring upon US. IL is n bold
stroke ofpolicy upon their part, which
whether successful or not, will teach us
an important lesson. We do not think
that It will succeed, but il will doubtless
cause us some delay and break in some
what upon the plan Of the campaign. We
have been acting too much upon tho fal-
ucious idea that the rebels would contin-
ne TO net solely upon the defensive and
allow us the privilege of choosing our own
time aud place for engaging them.
This change Of policy, on the part Of
the enemy, has not been entirely unno-
ticed or unhernldod, but it seems to have
been unheoded by US. Ever since the
Rebels commenced abandoning their sea.
const and river dcfenccs and conccntrc-
ting their forces in the interior, their pub
lie prints have aboundcd with significant
hints ofa change ofprogramme and de-
termination 10 assume the offensive
Some of them have been bold to proclaim
that Confederate army would soon be
quurtcred upon US, in the border free states
This we laughed at and considered empty
braggadocio; but, it appears, the rebels
real y meditatcd such u movement. They
thought, as they could not cope with US
on the water, they would concentrate
their forces and make bold dash at some
unprotected point, thus placing US on the
defensive aud rcgOining something of
their fallen fortunes.
The demonstration against Gen. Banks
is the first act in the programme, but the
gamo will soon BE- blocked and this last
hope of the despairlng Confedcracy will
prove illusory,

were undoubtedly in the secret and ready
to make strike when the proper time
ehould come. Another "rcign of terror"
in these sections would have been the re.
suit, had the scheme proved more success.
full.
We will not here question the general
ship, which allowed Gen. Banks to be
left with only handful of men to guard
30 important and vital point. We fear
too much attention has been devoted TO
other Generals, to the injury OF Banks and
Fremont. The rebels have railroad
connection direct from Richmond to the
front of Banks and Fremont, and while
Mcclellan has been operating on the
Peninsula, they have sent large portion
of their army to attack us at point al
most in our rear.

Honorable Mention.

The highest honor that can be paid
the soldier, is honorable mention in the
report of his General commanding, for
gallant and meritorious service on the
field of battle. Notwithstanding the sell
fish attempts If one Of our sister States,
to assume to her soldiers all tho glory of
the battle of shiloh, and the undignified
filings of the Chicago Tribune at certain
Ohio Regiments, Gen. Buell. in his Off
cial report Of that battle, speaks in the
highest terms Of Ohio men. Among the
names we notice that of our gallant Cap
tain Bartlett. The report reads thus:

What Forney Thinks OF the
Democratic Address,

- l'oHesPohdehee fhlladephia Press
No more emphatic admontion of the
purposes entertained by the leaders of the
present Democratic organization could
have been laid before the American peo-
pie than this extraordinary production.-
Mia single word appears in this address
in favor OF the war Tor the maintenance
of the government, or in opposition to the
rebels who are fighting for It's overthrow.
Is it not amazing, in such crisis as this,
while nearly seven hundred thousand free.
men are offering their lives as sacrifice
to the hag-while hundreds of families
are mourning the loss of theiI husbands,
fathers, sons and brothers, and with the
record before their eyes of the monstrous
atrocities psrpetrated upon the wounded
who have fallen into the hands of the
traitors, and even upon the dead b odies of
those who died in honorable battle-that
distinguished gentlemen, protesting to
represent large portion of the people Of
the UAited States, should deliberately and
eoldly refuse TO say that the war in which
we are now engaged is Just war, and
that it is being conducted to preserve the
treest and most generous government in
the worlds The bravery, and the skill,
and the moderation which have extorled
form foreign and hostile nations express
sions Of astonishment aud praise, do not
awaken a single throb ia the breasts of
these fourteen "Domocratic members of
Congress"

How The Secesli Democracy
Love 10 Lie,

We find tho following in the Stark
County Democrat Of the l4th intst. Ii is
but specimen OF the ten thousand going
the rounds of the sympathizins rebel
press in the North. The Democrat says.
0ylti is estimated that cut of our pub
lie dcht--nhout One Billion-TWO
HUNDRED MILLIONS has unneces-
Sarily gone into the pockets of officials
and spectators!
Now what are the facts. With one OF
the largest wars on the hands of the gov
ernment known in modern times, Secre-
tary Chase says our debt will not exceed
more than 5000, 900, 900 by the first Of Ju-
ly 1864. 100000 900 of this debt was
made under democratic administration
without war, while $500 900 900 has
been incurred by the war for the purchase
of arms, horses, transporta'ions, subsist-
ance, payment of soldiers, ships and thou
sands Of other items unknown to u.s.
Notwithstanding all this legitimate cx.
pcnditure of $500, 900, 900 to put the re-
bellion, these secession sympathizcrs,
like the Seneca Advertiser and Stark
Co Democrat cry out, "TWo HUN
DRED MILLION dollars has gone un.
necessarily into the pockets of officials
and SPECTATORS" and this vast sum out
Of the sooo,OOO,OOO, They forgot to tell
their readers that their readers that the
$1,000 900 900, is just $500, 1000 900 more

carry on the war. This $500 600 ,ooO

Especial Dispatch TO the Cleveland Leader1
WASHINGTON, May 25.
Mr.. Arnold, in the House, last night
urged the passage of an efficient Confis-
cation bill. The rebels are treucherous,
cruel and barburous, and are treated with
altogether too much leniency, and regard
our forbearance as cowardice. The time
to forgive them is when they lay down
their arms and ask for mercy. The ques-
ton of slavery must be met. No man
had spoken more wisely on this subject
than the President, who was in favor of
the country being entirely free.-We
fight for liberty and Constilution-the
rebels for slavery and the subversion of
constitutional liberty. The President in
words OF earnest appeal to the Border
states, seeks to control the whirlwind
and direct the storm which the rebels
have provoked. His proposition for
eman cipation will make freedom not on
ly national but universal. Slavery hav.
ing brought death upon its own head
Sir, this rebellion must die. IIe appeal
ed to the friends OF freedom to have faith
in the President, who will seize the op-
portunity which Providence has given
him. Let Border State men Join hands
with the President and make this one
great homogeneous free people. Mr..
Arnold also urged as means of putting
down the rebellion and defraying The ex-
penses of the war the passage of the
Conhscation bill, arguing in favor of
the right to pass it under the law of ma.
tions.
MIR. Kellogg made a strong speech
this morning in favor of confscating the
rebels property, movable and immovable.
arguing that they purtook of the double
Character of public enemies and traitors
and ought to be pursued as enemies during
the war and punished as traitors after
peace was declared.-He referred to the
suffering recently seen among his con
stituency and cited numerous authori
ties.
