Bull Run battle. He said his heart mis-

Patterson was approaching to aid our side,
and had it proved true he felt that the
Confederates would have been compelled
to fall back and delay the battle for some
days or suffer defeat. he even sent to
Johnston to have reserve ready to pro-

PARsoN BRowNLow' BooK.-This work
looked for with so much interest and curl
csity, is now before the public. 1t Is I'M
doubleday the book of the season, and will be
read by all classes. The style of the work
is bold, defiant and earnest, such as is pecu-
liar to the author. In his preface he says,
81 have spoken plainly. Extreme fastidi-
business of taste, may, perhaps, shrink from
some of the language which have employed,
but it was no time for daliance with pol
ished sentences or enticing words; for an
imminent necessity--like the burden of the
old Hebrew prophets-was upon us, and the
cause of our LORD and LAND could be
best served, by the sturdy rhetoric of def
ance, and the unanswerable logic Of facts"
The book, with the exception of few
pages of autobiography, is a history of the
internal workings of Secession. especially in
Tennessee, and reveals system of oppres-
sion and persecution from which we shrink
back with horror. ....

NoRTH AMERICA, By ANTHONY TRoLLoPE.
-Ms. Trollope's work on America made
quite an impression at the time it was pub
shed. Over sensitive as we were at that
time, we felt indignant at her review Of our
social life and manners even when she gave
a true description of our faults and foibles.
Since then, We have been considerably hard
ened and are quietly indifferent to such at
tacks. Mr.. Anthony Trollope is the son Of
the authoress Mrs Trollope, ard in introduc
irg himself to the public, labors to secure
attention by promise of fairness and dis
position to do justice to the American peo
pie. He apologies for the hits at American
character which he presents, by saying that
he could tell things Of the English and
French equally laughable.
Upon the whole, ho has written pretty
fair and readable book, enc that cannot fail
to he interesting to all who wish to learn the
candid opinions of an Englishman, who has
been long among us during the stirring scenes
of the last year He has written in evident
good humor; and although we may not
agree with him in all bis views of American
affairs, we endorse his book as pleasant and
interesting production.

Another Uprising Of the North.

sUnfeigned establishment at the upris-
ing Of the loyal people upon the first call
to arms in this war, struck terror to the
heart of Rebellion, aud although militia
~ blunders and political intrigues to
some extent thwarted the will of the pat
rotic masses, their deep seated determi-
nation to put down this diabolical insur-
rection at any and every cost, paved the
way to the series of brilliant victories and
display of American prowess and fertil-
ity of military resources. which are des-
tined to illuminate the page of unwritten
history, and teach the enemies of the
Republic to respect its powers in all time
to come.
That determination is not changed
but has grown stroger and more deep
rooted by the course of events on the
peninsula and manifestation of its in
tensity has been caused by the recent
call of tao President for throe hundred
thousand additional troops to pnt down
the rebellion promptly ard effectually.-
The greatest enthusiasm is exhibited
throughout the North crowded public
meetings are held and the work of re-
cruiting is going on rapidly and success
fully. AS an evidence of the enthusi-
assn, we notice that at great War
Meeting, at Hartford, Conn, on Thurs
day last, all shades of political sentiment
were represented, and in reply to the
question of one of the speakers, as to
how many would volunteer to enlist, the
immense audience shouted, as with one
voice, 1--WE will all 60" On the same
day, the Legislature voted bounty Of
fifty dollars to every enlisting soldier. in
addition to the thirty dollars previously
paid; and this liberal encouragement to
volunteers is being generally emulated in
the loyal States.

The drafted militia receive but 81 per
month and no bounty money. They
can be held to service out of the State
three months, by order of the Governor.
Let no one, however, deceive himself
with the idea that drafted soldiers will
serve only three months, for after the
militia are drafted Congress can very
easily hold them to servo during the
war.

Death of W. Z. Webster.

We learn that W. Eugene Webster,
formerly of this city, who joined the
Confederate service, and appointed chief
executive officer of rebel arsenal, was
killed in one of the late battles near
Richmond, while acting as aid of Gen.
Rhodes. He fell pierced by four balls.
During the spring of 1861 Webster en-
deavored to recruit a rife company in
this city for the defence of the Capital.
There was evidently treacbery intended
on the part of the rebels in this State, at
that time. as regarded the defence of the
capital of the natien. Who can disclose

To the Officers and Soldiers of The A,my

President of the United States have assum-
ed command Of this army. have spent
two weeks in learning your whereabouts,
your condition and your wants, in preparing
YOU for active operations, and in placing
you in positions from which you can act
promptly and to the purpose. These labors
are nearly completed, and am about to join
you in the field Let us understand each
other.
| have come to you from the West, where
we have always seen the backs of our enemies
from an army whose business it has been
to seek the adversary, and to beat him when
he was found-whose policy has been attack
and not defence. In but one instance has
the enemy been able to place our Western
armies in defensive attitude. l presume
that have been called here to pursue the
same system, and to lead you against the en-
envy. 1t is my purpose to do so, and that
shortly.
l am aware that you long for an opportu-
Lity to win the distinction you are capable
Of achieving-that opportunity | shall en-
deavor to give you. Meantime, desire you
to dismiss from your minds certain phrases
which am sorry to find much in vogue
amongst you. hear constantly of taking
strong positions and holding them-of lines
of retreat and bases of supplies. Let us dis
card such ideas The strongest position a
soldier should desire to occupy is one from
which he can most easily advance against
the enemy. Let lis study the probable lines
Of retreat of our opponents, and to leave our
own TO take care Of themselves.
Let us look before us, and not behind
Success and glory are in the a9vance-disas-
ter and shame Turk in the rear. Let us act
on this understanding, and it is safe to pre-
dict that your banners shall be inscribed with
many a glorious deed, and that your names

The Richmond Examiner, speaking Of the
strength of McClelan's position says DIT
will be seen, that protected on tho South by
the river and his gunboats, on the West by
impossible ravines, and on the North and
East by Herring Creek and the heights of
Evelinton, the enemy's position presents but
one pregnable point-the piece of level coun-
try northwest of Westover, from quarter
to half mile in width, laying between
the head Of the ravines and the point where
Herring creek crosses the Charles City Road.
But it is certain that the enemy, with his
immense resources of men and machinery,
will, in very brief period, obstruct by art
this only natural entrance to his stronghold.
Already it is within range of his gunboats
and of his siege guns planted on the Evelin-
ton Hills; another day may see it strewn
with felled timber and bristling with field
batteries. In enumerating the advantages
secured to the enemy by his present position,
his superior facilities of transportation must
not be omitted. Whilst our ammunition
must be wagoned distance Of nearly thirty
miles, his steamers and transports are run
ming up to the doors of his tent. 1t cannot
be denied that the enemy occupies far SUI
perior position to the one in front of Rich
mond, and some one is responsible for letting
him successfully reach this impregnable po-
siton.

State representatives had an interview on
witt. the President lately, at which they
presented their views against current abolition
legislation, and he appeared to make a stand
in favor of his policy of emancipation, with
compensation for slaves, and colonization Of
them. He said to them, in effect. that the
friction OF war was wearing away and Sc
rious,y damaging the slave interest in the
border States, and that i. was best for their
people to at once inaugurate measures for
